 The Aurora BOrealis class of the Presbyterian Sunday school is mak- ing arrangements for a hard time social to be held at the church in week or two. All the young people in town are cordially invited to at- tend, the only stipulation being that the very oldest of old clothes must be worn. The idea tinges little on the Bolshevistic mode of thought, for policemen will be authorized to nall before a tribunal of wrath any who violate the principles of raggedness and poverty. Western civilization comes to the rescue at this point, however, for the most severe penalty inflicted will be but small fine.

 The members of the Northland Club are very appreciative indeed of the generosity of Rev. D. P. Ziegler, as expressed by his donation of beau- tiful picture which will soon adorn the club room walls. The picture rep resents a mountain scene as viewed from Tiekel on Copper river flats. In the foreground is a cliff shelf upon which a family of Indians are cooking supper over a camp fire. To one side stands out wierdly an Alaskan spruce tree. while in the distant background tall mountain, with it's icy sheet Of glacial snow silently dominates the whole scene.
