MOOSE DANCE ID
 BE B|C AIT AIR

The Chris tmas dance which is to be given on the night of December 25 by Fairbanks Lodge No. 1892, Loyal Order of Moose, is going to be one of the swellest affairs ever given during the holiday festivities. The entertainment committee is busily engaged in preparing for the occasion, and when the evening ar rives there will be nothing lacking to insure the biggest success of any dance ever given in the town.
 The decoration of the hall is be ing carefully looked after, and an extra amount of pains is being taken to see that everything in this line is just right The music also comes in for an extra amount of care, SC lections being made to please the ear of the most fastidiOus. There will probably be some novelty flea, ture entertaining, but just what they are has not been definitely announc- ed yet. There will be liquid re treatments and a light lunch pro vided to allay any slight feeling of fatigue that might arise during the evening.
 The Moose point with pride to the fact that there has never been the slightest hitch, nor the least thing of dubious characer, in any of their past entertainments, and are sure that the coming event will be even more notable in this respect.

Nome Nugget: Bottled Sunshine" s what Alberta Barnes, local ma ehinist and a genius, calls his new .nyenti0n-a caIoric contriyance that ae uses to heat his house in winter md to do the washing, ironing and II other household tasks requiring stored force
 On the hottest days in summer, -Ir Barnes catches the rays of the un at the focus of bright tin roof n his house and conveys the heat 10 his barn, which he has remodeled nto an immense model of a fireless cooker box. In this building great quares of artificial stone gre placed md the heat is stored within these pig disk. These are closely packed inside bales of pressed straw. The rtones hold more than 1,200,0 ,000 cal ories of heat, sufficient to heat his house all winter and to supply all needed extra heat.
 MT. Barnes claims that it took lnly ten days last summer to charge lis hot storage plant. The idea for he contrivance originated with Mr. ;arnes when he was trying to paint he roof of his house on a hot day. finding such great heat on the un .e was curious to know if food could be cooked there, and taking a beef
 teak to the roof he left it. After a wait of an hour he crawled to the top of the house and found the steak cooked to a crisp. This incl lent gave him the idea for his stor- age plant.
 Hundreds of visitors are viewing he dish shaped roof, the hothouse and heating system at the home of Mr Barnes, who says that as there s no meter on the sun he does not expect to pay cent for heat the re aainder of his life

GAME INCREASES
 IN THE WEST
Associated Press )

DENVER. Colo. Dec IL Delay- ed) Cooperation between the Unit ed States forestry service and the game wardens of the several western states has resulted in a marked in crease in big game in the Rocky Mountain region, according to an announcement made by Smith Riley. district forester. Except for remote regions of Wyoming, where hunters have been particularly numerous re gently, there has been a marked increase. according to reports now being compiled.
 The sentiment of ranchmen and others resident in the mountain re gions toward protection of game has changed in the last few years
 Tt used to be very difficult" said Mr Riley, ito obtain convictions for violation of the game laws. Recent ly, however, we are receiving gener ous cooperation in the protection Of big game"
 Several men have been employed by the fore try service to assist game wardens north of Yellowstone park in protecting animals who stray from the national preserve, and foresters generally are acting in reporting violations.

NENANA BOYS
 ALL 'U' MEN,:
 FAST PLAYERS

Information received here from Ne mana is to the effect that the team of basketball players of the Neuana Athletic Association will leave Ne mana on December 2l and will un- doubtedly get here in time 10 gel into first class shape, after their trip. for the first game of the series between Nenana and Fairbanks, on the evening of December 23. The information comes in letter re- ceived from James P. Momb, the manager of the Nenana team. The telegram says: will leave here with team and the girls Thursday December 21." By the girls" it is pre- tuned that MT. Momb means Misses Jane Anderson and Laura Lewis, who are in the employ oi the Engineering commission and who are coming to Fairbanks to spend the holidays with their respective families.
 The Fairbanks team will evident ly have to go some if it wins the series from Nenana. A glance al the lineup of the Nenana aggIega- ton is convincing of that fact For all of the Nenana boys are undoubt edly past masters at the art of bas ketball playing, as the letter states that practically all of them have played on university or high school teams. And it is well known fact that the bet of athletes come from the schools and colleges of the coun- try.
 The probable lineup of the team which will play Fairbanks is as follows:
 Momb, center and captain; Owo years on the Washington State col lege team and two years with the basketball team of the University of Washington.
 Meagher, forward; Pratt lnsti- ute, BrooklyD.
 Taylor. forward; University of 
 MiasourD.
 Pearson, guard; (Tacoma high schooD.
 Ward, guard University of Kan sas),
 It had originally been intended that w. B. Hubbach, of the account ing department of the Engineering commission at Nenana, should be on the team. A change was neces- sary, however, owing to the fact that MT. Hubbach will be detained at Nenana by his work and there fore cannot come here with the az gregation. The letter states, how ever, that regardless of the fact that they have lost one of their best men. the Nenana aggregation is com ing to Fairbanks prepared to win

 Christmas Vacation But One Week
 Distant.
 That rhe Christmas vacation is to be of but ten days duration this year k reported by Miss Keenan, principal of the school This will allow the students day to prepare for Christmas and will give them their liberty on New Years day. School will start 2gain on the second day of January, and since no time is allowed for recuperation, it is our advice that one and all of the students of the school partake but sparingIy of the New Years feast.
 That High School Party.
 The first thing of importance in the minds of the high school stu- dents at the present time is the Christmas party to be given at Moose hall on the night of the 22nd. Moose hall was chosen because it seemed far better suited to the giving ot such a party than is. the school or any other hall within the means of the school society.
 The various committees have been appointed and are working industri, ously at the present time. The event promises to be the banner one of its kind in the history of the school.
 The School Savings System.
 Deposits for Week.
 Although the deposits are much smaller this week than in those just previous, the difference can readily be credited to the fact that Christmas is nearly here and the pupils are saving their money to buy Christmas presents, which is all wei and proper.
