Unknown to her, Miss Audrey
Dunham was nominated for
“Queen” yesterday, but since
then she has requested that her
name be withdrawn.
Word was received by wire to
day from Grant Jackson, who is
now in Seattle, that he will do
nate $100.00 cash to Miss Nome.
This donation will be used in the
purchase of the “Queen’s” ward
robe. The only stipulation made
by Mr. Jackson was that he be
given a set of pictures of the
“Queen”. This favor will be
given to Grant (no pun intended)
inasmuch as Mr. Jackson will be
absent from Nome during the
contest. The Kennel Club wishes
to express its appreciation of Mr.
Jackson’s spirit of cooperation.
Everyone in Nome is all prim
ed for the preview of the Queen
Candidates at the Dream Theatre
next Tuesday night..
The Kennel Club announces
that the Queens will appear in
evening gowns' and bathing suits,
so if you are undecided now who
to vote for we suggest that you

over”. For only six bits you will

In celebration of the birthday
of good old Saint Valentine, the
third and fourth grade are plan
ning a party. Every child is per
mitted to bring one guest. Pre
parations for the affair have been
many and varied. Valentines have
been made. The pupils made and
decorated a Valentine Box. De
signs for the napkins and the
room’s decorations were worked
out. And the whole room has
undergone a thorough house clean

Sunday’s Dog Race|
And Sports Events
Will Start at 1P.M.
Last Sunday the dog races, ski
jumps, etc., put on by the Nome
Kennel Club proved to be of such
interest that the club has been
besieged with requests for an
other “show”.. So they have chos
I
en this Sunday—February 14th
“Valentine” Day” as an appropri
ate time for the second event.
All Nome is buzzing these days
with talk of the “Queen” Contest
so the Kennel Club feels “Our
Queens” should be the high light
of the day. To add interest to
the dog races, the dog team own
ers will place their names in a
hat and’ each “Queen" contestant
will draw the team with whom
she will ride just before starting.
In this way no contestant will
know with whom she rides until
the last minute.
The “Queen” riding with the
winning team will receive 1,000
votes in the Queen Contest—the
second prize 750 votes, and third
prize 500. Here is a good oppor
tunity for some dog team owner
to be "King for a Day”.
Immediately after the “Queen’s
Burden Race, all spectators are
requested to congregate on the
Main Street in front of the North
Pole Bakery which is to be the
finish line for the First Race—age
limit 12 years, boys and girls
with one dog. The race is to
start in front of C. W. Thornton’s
and finish in front of the North
Pole Bakery. This is a straight
one-way race to eliminate less
confusion. Youngsters are re
quested to have their dogs and
sleds ready immediately after the
main event.
The next attraction is to be a
see a good show and a million
dollars worth of feminine charm
and beauty.—and come early if
you want a good seat.

and the Clap, Clap, Bow Dance
were next on the program. Patty
Frasier sang Rock-a-bye Baby,
and each child recited a poem

Everyone greatly enjoyed the
