Currency Circulation
Reaches Highest Point
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3. (/?)—
The American people generally are
demanding more and more money
and the circulation of currency in
the United States now has reached
the highest point for any peace-time
period in history.
Figures made public today by the
treasury showed the circulation on
October 1 was $4,827,005,344, an
amount exceeded only on November
1, 1920, when post-war conditions
sent it to $5,628,427,732.
No report was heard from the S.S.
Starr today so it is taken for granted

ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND
IN ALASKA—THANK GOODNESS,
SAYS FORMER PRINTER'S DEVIL
Seward residents will be no doubt
considerably startled within the next
few days upon the apperance of a
weird looking motor contrivance be
ing propelled about the avenues. Af
ter long and deliberate thought on
how to utilize his motorcycle thru
out the winter months, William Nev
ille, Seward young man involved the
idea of attaching two skis, not skids,
replacing the front and side-car
wheels. So according to the pres
ent rate of progress being made by
this motor mechanic de luxe, the
machine, which sometimes sounds
like a stamp mill in operation, will
soon be skidding its way over roads
no one else would dare to follow—
and we might venture to say that
Bill is going to be busy pulling sled-,
loads of kids about the town when;
he does make his appearance.

GRAY’S ATTACK
IS UNJUSTIFIED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3 (/P)-^
Secretary Mellon described Gray’s at
tacks on the administration’s prohi
bition policies as “unfounded and un
justified." He admitted, “Conditions
are bad.” Mellon’s observations were
in regard to a letter a group of re
form organizations sent to the White
House declaring the President had
never “unreservedly” committed him
self to enforce prohibition, as his oath
of office required.” Mellon declared
that the letter represented a class of
malcontents who afforded the Treas
ury officials little assistance in enforc
ing the law.
Velocity of Light May
Be Determined Shortly
-MADISON, Wis., Dec. 3. (fP)—De
termining the velocity of light to a
minute degree of accuracy is a pos
sibility which may be realized next
year, according to Dr. A. A. Michel
son, head of the department of phy
sics of the University of Chicago.
Dr. Michelson announced before
the National Academy of Sciences
today that he had come within twen
ty miles a second of establishing the
true velocity.
The experiment covered a period
of a year beginning in the summer
of 1924.

If You Are Doing Business
With Maii Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
A*
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort.. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever conies back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. ' He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money.
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money—not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the gooa of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars.
