The 2€th. Anniversary of the Fra

ed by Nome Aerie So. 75 of the F.
O. E. last Saturday night and the
event was made a gala affair. The
largo Eagle Hall was crowded and
everyone attending pronounced t*.o
ironing a very enjoyable one.
As many card tables as the hall
would hold were tilled with players.
President Alfred J. 1 eruen made an
address of welcome to the guests,
and concluded the address by intro
ducing Past President B. I.. Holt as
•he speaker of the »»v«nftii?. who In
a very capable manner delivered the
following address, which is repro
duced here at the request of many
who attended the function.
"We are assembled her* this even

Order was founded in Seattle.

four great cardinal principles, Lib
erty. Truth. Justice and Equality.
The Order’s membership is now the
largest in the history of its exist
ence, its prosperity is unp^ee^ented
but its activities must -ontinue on
and on to the end that a greater
record may be established—a rec
ord that will cause our hearts to

a Patriotic Fund. The Grand Aerie
paid the sum of one thousand do!*

deceased member who ’ost hi-i life

now pending.
“Our Aerie observes three special
holidays—Armistice Day. or Eagle

Memorial Day and Mothers Day.
“There are many memorable days
in the history of man’s struggles.

FOR YOUR HOME TOWN
Never be a slacker in anything
that pretends ?o be for the better
ment of the community in which you
reside. Lay your shoulder to the
wheel and give a shove and help put
NOME over the top as one of the
most wide-awake towns in Alaska.
When you hear a knocker. STOP.
LOOK AND LISTEN. He will gen
erally have an’ ax to grind that is
worn out and grinding would do it
Nome will be the scene of s.»me of
the greatest activities during the
coming summer that Alaska has
ever witnessed. This coming sum
mer will undoubtedly go down in the
history of the nation and the world,
its one of the most important eras
recorded since the birth ^of man.
What lies within the ice-locked
regions north of Point Barrow, and
near the North Pole, will be known
at the termination of the coming
flight of that giant Dirigible Shen
andoah. whose flight to the Pole is
practically assured.
The Northwestern Chamber of
Commerce of Nome, has formulated
a plan whereby every man. woman
and child on Seward Peninsula can
become a booster in advertising our
city to the outside world. Merchants
and other business men of Nome,
have had printed on their station
ery the fact that Nome is the “Nor
them base for the Dirigible Shenan
doah Polar Flight.” This station
ery will be used in writing to peo
ple on the outside who will have
their attention attracted to Nome as
a likely place to spend a vacation or
make an excursion trip, which
means that more money will be
spent in our town, and which is of
great benefit to every man, woman
and child in Nome. Everyone writes
letters, more or less. Now, the prop
er thing for everyone on Seward
Peninsula to do is to purchase
enough of this stationery, which is
on sale at the Nugget Office and Lo
I mens’ Drug Store, to at least send a
dozen letters to friends throughout
the United States and anywhere in
the world where an address is
known. Every person writing let
ters and sending them to the States
on this stationary becomes an in
dividual booster for'Nome, and is
doing his community and the nation
a great service in being a booster,
instead of a knocker. WRITE ALL
YOUR LETTERS FROM NOW UN
TIL THE OPENING OF NAVIGA
TION ON THIS STATIONERY. Let
the world outside know you are a
BOOSTER for the biggest event in
history—the Polar Air Flight.
When answering advertisements,
please mention the Nome Nugget.
