The Nugget Calendars for the

ittention is called to the fact as
stated on the calendars that it is
tot necessary to borrow the other
ellows paper in order to get the

lours after taking place. The pub
isher of the Nugget feels that the
•tfome Weekly Nugget should be in
»very home on Seward Peninsula,
•ealizing that there are possibly
tome who are not financially able
o subscribe for the paper, an offer
s made that every one who finds
hat they are not able to stand the

jlace their names on the subscrip
!on list with out cost to that party.
>v applying at the Nugget office in
lerson. The old saying “You never

ihould call attention to those who
ontinue to extract “water from the
veil” without making an effort to
eplenish the source of supply by
ubscribing for rhe paper and seeing
hat the local paper is so supported
hat there will be no question as to
