HOME CITY FAULT FINDERS
Some cities have a lot of men who spend half their time
finding fault with every bit of progressive work that is being
done for their city.
This crowd never do anything themselves lowara doosx,
ing their city, but spend their time finding fault with the
rest of the world in general and the home city in particular.
Another crowd is a bunch of business men who think
they can keep in business by “kidding” themselves into
thinking their stores are so well known that business will
come to them anyway.
They might as well look facts in the face. If they
want business, they must go after it—and business is never
so good that it can’t be made better.
The crowd that puts in most of their time talking about
rotten business usually get it.
Boosters who go after business with united effort usual
ly get it.
Boosting better business for the home city pays divi
dends.
That one of the ways to make your city prosperous is
to BUY AT HOME.
You should read the advertisements.
You should buy advertised goods.
When you buy at home you can see the goods you buy.
The firms of your city stand behind the goods they
advertise.
If your community is good enough for you to live in,
it is good enough for you to spend your money in.
Your home city is where you earn your money. Keep
your money circulating in your own home city.
The advertising columns are your market place. It
will save you time and money to read them carefully.
The up-to-date merchandiser advertisers. Patronize
him.
And you Mr. Business man should not complain about
people sending out side for good^ unless you keep your
money circulating in Nome, and not send outside for things
that can be obtained in your own city.
Those critics of the President’s monetary policy who
are demanding a sound dollar haven’t yet realized that
money makes no noise with the New Deal.

LAND OF UNTOLD RICHES AND RESOURCES
“The oldest in point of settlement, and yet the newest
in the sisterhood of states, New Mexico has been the land
of heart’s desire of many peoples for well nigh two thousand
years. The Indians, first to arrive, found a land so fair and
fertile that they abandoned their roving ways and settled
in the valleys and canyons of the streams that flowed from
the high sierras. They cultivated corn and other crops, the
gift of the red man to the white race. In course of time,
they developed an admirable form of government and a
colorful culture which reached its climax a thousand years
ago in the Chaco Canyon, in northwestern New Mexico,
where the ruins of five and six story communal houses and
huge sun temples still excite the wonderment of every visi
tor.
“Then came the white men upon the scene, seeking a
Golconda in the Seven Cities of Cibola, eighty years before
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. These Spanish ad
venturers sought gold and souls. Of the former they found
little; for the latter, more than fifty Franciscans suffered
martyrdom.As far east as Kansas, the disappointed Span
ish conquerors made their way, little direaming that New
Mexico after all was a land of untold riches and resources.
“Fifty years later came the Spanish colonists and plant
ed the seeds of European culture and Christianity in the
valley of the Rio Grande. Since that date in 1598, when
the first permanent settlement was established, wave upon
wave of newcomers have taken hold of the land and have
slowly uncovered its wealth.
“The southernmost of the states that sit astride the
Continental Divide, New Mexico became the crossroads of
commerce between the Atlantic and the Pacific, and be
tween the United States and Latin America to the south.
Here the Argonauts, who made their way to California,
found welcome and rested along the way. With them came
the pathfinders and pioneers, who gave a new touch to the
culture which had been established by the Indian and the
Spaniard. It was a slow process, but from the melting pot
of races, tribes and nationalities there came forth the pres
ent New Mexico, the most colorful of the forty-eight states
of the Union.”—Exchange.
Alaskans are gentlemen farmers. About* all they raise
are crops of whiskers.
Last week an Italian flew seven miles a minute in a
sepalane. Now just what did he call Mussolini?

“DON’T TRY TO PROVE THAT THE MAN WITH A NEW
IDEA IS WRONG. HELP HIM PROVE HE IS RIGHT.”
.The old saying: “Adversity Makes Us All Akin”, was
never more vividly exemplified than during and since the
calamity experienced by Nome’s citizenry just a few short
weeks ago.
At the height of the conflagration, when the fire demon
was devouring everything in sight, everyone forgot past diff
erences as well as personal safety and gave his efforts and
strength for the assistance and protection of his neighbor.
What an ideal city Nome will build into if this consid
erate spirit is perpetuated. It can be. It is simply a
community demonstration of the old “GOLDEN RULE”.
If there were no better or higher reward offered for such a
utopia, the advertisement in itself would be profitable for
Nome would soon become known and famous as “THE
MODEL CITY”, and it moral credit fixed at the highest rating.
