ONLY TWENTY DAYS TO CHRISTMAS
Well, folks, its only about three weeks to Christmas.
From the time the last boat leaves Nome the thought
is—its only a few days to Thanksgiving—and now that
Thanksgiving has been passed, its only a few days to
Christmas. It seems that is the way it goes, on and
on, all winter long.
Now is the time to think, if you have not already
done so, of sending your friends and relatives those
cheering Yuletide Greetings, Xmas gifts, and remem
brances so much appreciated by those on the Outside.
Fortunately, the only serious effect the maritime
strike on the Pacific is having on Nome at present, is
the mixup in the mail service. In Nome, business
houses are supplied with all kinds of holiday goods,
which are commencing to appear on display, and the
public of Nome is going to have a large assortment to
draw from. But, stop and think. NOW is the time to
do your Christmas shopping, while stocks are com
plete and your selection can be more varied.
Plans for your holiday commemorations should be
made now and thereby relieve yourself of that last
minute rush, when the final day comes around.
Now, is also the time to commence advertising and
displaying your Holiday stocks. Nomeites are waiting
for an opportunity to inspect Nome’s newest Xmas
*oods—why not advertise them through the advertis
ing services of the Nome Daily Nugget—where you are
sure to get results?

UNEASY SITS THE CROWN I
- |i
Perhaps for the first time in his 1
colorful and eventful life, Ed- 1
ward, head of the British house i
of Windsor, has been forced to
do something extremely distaste
ful and, to him, apparently with
out reason. He has had to knuck
le down to the public opinion of
his fellow citizens of England,
and make a momentous decision
—give up Mrs. Simpson, his Am
erican girl friend, or his throne.
Edward VIII, King of England
is without doubt the most uni
versally liked and respected mon
arch in the world. For more
than twenty yeais, as the Prince
of Wales, he traveled to nearly
every nation on the globe. H s
time has been spent in the ser
vice of his country—a democrat
re service, bringing home to the
world that England was to have
the most democratic ruler in its
history, and that he would be
the most highly educated of all
heir kings, in the relations of
latiorval behavior.
People the world over know of
ris friendship for Mrs. Simpson,
t Baltimore girl, recently di
vorced from her husband Wallis
Simpson,, alleged to have result
ed from this friendship.
To the British this conduct of
their democratic King rankles of
bad taste, and so they have brot
about an impasse which yester
day seemed destined to be brok
en by the departure of Mrs.
Simpson from England for Fran
ce.
Meanwhile, King Edward is
going to have his hands full for
some time. His British subjects
look to him to uphold the tradi
tions and customs of the British
Empire—marriage without nobil
ity seems not for him.
His duty, now placed directly
before him since the death of his
father King George V, is to his
state, his family, and himself
But himself comes last.

NO TIME FOR MUTINY
There is no time for mutiny in
the ranks now. Alaska, for twen
ty years, has been slowly devel
oping through its mining and fish
; ing industries principally, with
great strides in other lines.
But today, as in no other day,
Alaska as a whole, and Nome
and Seward Peninsula is pushing
forward on that long trail to
Prosperity. The price of gold is
1 up, weather conditions seem mod
I erated to what they were in the
gold rush days, transportation
facilities have kept pace with
modern times, and every resour
ce is devoted to the rapid and
steady development of this terri
tory. This does not mean that
this section, or any other, for that
matter, is going to be described
as a boom section.
There is no place in a steady
and orderly development of vast
resources and industries in a
country, for the man who knocks
his town or section. He does not
know it, but he also is really
“cutting his own throat”.
Nomeites should recognize the
handwriting on the wall and pay
attention to it. During the past
two years, more actual mining
development has taken place in
the immediate vicinity of Nome
and also in other parts of Seward
Peninsula, than for ten or fifteen
years.
And this development is going
to continue, not sporadically, but
steadily—that is why we say—
There is no time for Mutiny.
Alaskans and Nomeites should
get together and pull together.
The whole army can’t be out of
step. If there is someone out
of step, let him see the light
and pull with the rest of us, and
bring to this country, a richer,
and more beneficent future—
Pull Together!

carried a little green house”; “A
big dog got off a log”, and “Be
fore he went to bed he stood on
his head”.
