HAVING HEARD REMARKS THAT LEADS US TO BELIEVE
THAT OUR NEW POLICY ON DELIVERY IS NOT THOROUGHLY
UNDERSTOOD THE FOLLOWING IS BROUGHT FOR CONSIDERA*
1-t—The charge of 5 cents and 10 cant* usually covers the
charge on the average grocery order.
2nd—If full case* are ordered a charge at the rate of 15 cento
per one hundred pounds is added.
3rd—Considering our efficient delivery service we now ask
where can you go and have goods delivered at such low price.
REMEMBERING—That all our prices are marked without adding that
cost and even when you pay for the delivery you still will be
purchasing goods lower than before.
A GROCERY
CLOCK ENTERTAINMENT
BIG SUCCESS
Instead of being wkiskcu away to
some far of haunt of commerce dur
in:r the coming summer, leaving be
liiml a real os well as a sentimental
gap in our communal life, the big
Scgerstrom ami Hagen clock—the
"town clock" as it Is familiarly
known— will continue to adorn the
classic reaches of the main stem and
mark the passing hours for many a
Ion.' year to come, unless some ob
stacle or contingency arises of which
summer's warmth and winter's chill:
in the radiant light of the long Arctic
days and the gloom of the Arctic
nights: in sunshine, in shadow, in
calm, in whirling snows, it's broad
face will continue to look benignly up
and down Front Street, perhaps until
new generations have supplanted those
who now cast their eyes toward it to
learn the answer to that ever recurr
ing pm-stlon: "What time is it?" For
enough funds were raised as a re
suit of the entertainment given by
'.a liool riddles o' Non:*- it F.agle
of the clock In full, together with all
iucidentlal expenses, and maybe with
enough left over to place some where
on its cloeky anatomy a tablet stat
ing that it was presented to the mu
nincipality of N'omc bv the pupils of
Nome's public school.
Thanks to the very laudable efforts
of the kiddies and their teachers and
the kindly help of nearly everyone in
town, the old dock will become a per
manent fixture, to remain, let us hope
at least until some far distant day
when Nome has become a great and
thriving city, filled with thousands,
and occupying a position of immense
importance in the commercial and in
dustrial life of this groat territory and
the world.
Four hundred and eighty dollars
was the sum realized as a result of
the entertainment. A small portion
of it will be distributed for expenses
which could not be avoided, but enough
will be left to pay for the clock, with
money left over. Nearly everyone In
town bought a ticket. The kiddies
proved such excellent "rustlers" that
there were mighty few with a loose
dollar in their pocket who got away
with it after the diminitive ticket set.
lei’s liad employed their numerous
eajollies. Eittle Miss Esther Freeding
proved the most successful ticket agent
by disposing of forty foui tickets and
was awarded the first prize of $5 of
fered by the committee in charge of
the entertainment. “Sister" Frances
I loss was second with sales of 39 and
third prize fell to Valery McGuire and
Nels Swanberg Jr., with 20 each.
The entertainment proved to he
one of the very best children's enter
tainments ever givcq In Nome and
was keenly enjoyed by the big crowd
gathered In Eagle Hall. As a result
of the painstaking work of preparation
conducted by Principal Emma Orr and
assistants, the “breakdowns” usually
associated with childish performances
were entirely absent and the children
performed like veterans in most cos?*.
The program opened with the glor
ious strains of the Star Spangled Ban
ner, followed by a flag salute by the
school. The initial numbers were suc
ceeded by "Three Flags", by boys of
the third grade. "George Washington's
Song”, by the primary school; “Gold
en Words of Lincoln," by pupils of the
5th and fith grades and "Land of Mine"
by the entire school.
The first individual number was a
Piano solo rendered in excellent man
ner l.y Frances Foss. An operetta:
“A Hox of Dolls.” by the little tots of
the first grade followed and proved
one of tin most ideasing numbers on
the program. Esther Freeding next
recited Kipling's "Elephant Child"
with an elocutionary ability decided!' '
remarkable in one of her years. The
I succeeding number was a piano duet
I by Itussell and Mildred Maynard, wh.
admitted themselves in cxccllen
manner. "Swallow,” a decidedl’
pleasing cantata participated in by the
entire school followed. Fr Fotcr
son and WJIfred N'ielly. both no?
ute" recited "Our nogs** with the a-,
lowed by a marching number in which
fourteen boys were the actors. Misses
Marion liachelder and Emily Fold.
m\t won well merited applause with
a skillfully rendered piano duet. A
prftty flower drill by eighteen girls
was the effective number following.
Andrew Sather then recited the story
of a. “Stolen Watermelon" with con
siderable forensic skill’ The program
was closed with a pleasing march en
semble by girl pupils of the high
school and grammer grades. The
work of the pupils was excellent thru
out and well merited the g<*neroua
(applause bestowed on every number
by the audience.
An Interesting feature of the en
tertainment was the awarding of the
prizes in the guessing contest regard
ing the time the big clock would
stop, and also the awards for tickfct
sales. Tile first prize in the clock
contest was given to “Dr” Drinker of
the snowy locks and sad sweet smile,
who guessed the exact time. 6:15 p.
in. Second and third prizes fell to
Esther Freeding and Charlotte Swan
Frizes in the clock contest were
donated by the following business

GAFFNEY NOT A CANDIDATE
'I’llon Gaffney arrived In town dur

the scene of his mining' endeavors on
Sunset. Asked ns to the vague rumors
that he will he a legislative candidate

said that the penchant for contesting
ele. tions appears to have reached epi
Jcniic proportions lately and anyone
who wins an election Is very liable to
lin<: themselves in a controversy. With
«hi: prospect in view it appears to him
lha; it is an unpmpitious time to shy

lie. doubtless conceives the view that

afterward replacing the eye in its pro

or disturbed. For a time he was un

According to Gregory the place
where he stored bis savings was known
to two or three people and his sus
picions are naturally turned in their
direction. He says lie is very anxious
to get,the money back and has so far
refrained from lodging a complaint
with the authorities owing to a hopo
that the burglar will return the funds
when he learns that the loss leaves
Gregory without funds and in debt for
a dentist bill amounting to $250.
Gregory says he intended to pay the
bill last Monday with the help of bor
rowed funds. He says he intends to
leave his cabin door open in the hope
that the burglar will kindly return
the stolen money on learning the cir
cumstances in which its loss leaves
the victim. Also he promises not to
prosecute the offender if the funds are
returned.
