ALASKA OFFERS TEST
 FOR COURAGEOUS MEN

We have read of the wonderful horse races in Arabia of the recordbreaking auto contests in Florida. of the most wonderous Marathon races in London and of the modern aerial speed con tests going on in many parts of the world, but have you ever realized that We right here in Nome. thousands of miles away from all of the localities where these sports are being partici- pated in, have the grandest and most supreme test of all? Perhaps not. but should you but stop to think and would you but imagine yourself in the places of those six men of the North who are now struggling for supremacy. you surely would agree that there is no other contest in the world to compare with the All Alaska Sweepstakes race as a test of all of the qualities which are embodied in the other sports of the world

Can you see one of the Sweep stakes racers tonight out on the bar ren and deathly trail fighting against sleep and exhaustion.
 Are there any of these hardShips in auto, horse. Marathon or aerial races 9 No--not a one.
 The man who wins the race now on will not be a weakling such as are many of those who participated in other sports or tests. He will be g. man who you may depend upon in the greatest of trials. one who would face death to save anothers lile and a hu- man machine which knows no fatigue which would make him say quits" Such men as here described do not thrive in many climes nor are they in the majority
