WHERE’S THE MAN?
An advertisement appearing in a
recent issue of a well known matri
monial paper, contains this descrip
tion of the man the woman husband
hunter would wed: The man I marrv
must be bold but not audacious; he
must be handsome as Apollo, yet
industrious as Vulcan; wise as Solo
mon, but meek as Moses. A man
ail women would be crazy to court,
yet singularly devoted only to the
one woman.

FUNDS ARE NEEDED
10 AID ORPHANS
“Suffer little children to come un
to me, for theirs is the kingdom oi
heaven.” The children of Interioi
! Alaska have been called upon, anc
are promptly responding to the cry
; of help, for fatherless children o!
: France. The echo of this cry oi
distress had hardly died away, before
action was taken, providing funds
with which to support these father
less little ones. It is reasonably cer
tain now, what the outcome will be
for the children of Alaska, like theii
parents, are generous to a fault.
The little sum of ten cents keep?
one of these French children for an
, entire day, and for 365 days, $36.5C
’ per year. Nenana’s children and
grown-ups, will not rest, until two
if not more, of these fatherless lit
tle ones are provided for one year.
Each one of us can, for one week,
give up some passing pleasure. All
know the reason the poor children
are fatherless. Their fathers died
fighting for France, humanity and
liberty. It is not charity but a
duty Americans owe these fatherless
little ones. They are our sisters and
brothers. They are hungry and
homeless. The great and generous
heart of Alaska, never yet turned
a deaf ear to such a cry. God pity
the mother and her fatherless babes 1
Angels of Mercy, comfort and guard
the defenseless women and helpless
orphans!
In order to render some assist
ance toward such orphan fund, Mrs
M. S. Love, postmaster, now as ever
in the forefront for humanity, has
opened a subscription list at the
postoffice where all Nenana,- men,
women and children,- are cordially
invited to assist in the great human
cause. Mrs. F. S. Ryus, always
willing, alwayrs ready for service in
such worthy causes, will assist Mrs.
Love in the raising of this God bless
ed fund.
In due time the names and sums
contributed will be acknowledged
through the columns of the Nenana
News.
Somewhere, among the lessons
taught by the lowly Nazerene, is one,
“that he who would be greatest
among you, let him serve.” Service
is a doing for others. Happiness is
the result of service. Not lip service
but real, concrete results.
LADIES ARE ENTERTAINED
