PRESIDENT WILSON APPEALS FOR
SUPPORT IN RED CROSS ROLL CALL

rious epidemics of influenza. 1t has
carried instruction in hygiene and
first aid into schools, the women s
clubs and the homes of our country.
1t has taught young and untaught
mothers how to care intelligently
for their babies and has done much
in many ways to promote child-wel-
fare, upon which the welfare Of the
nation ultimately rests. 1t has made
it fundamental principle to avoid
futile Implications, to cooperate with
public agencies when it's co-opera-
tion was sought and to supply de-
ficiencies where such agencies had
not yet been established.
Junior Red Cross
ut has continued it's educational
work among the school children
through it's Junior Red Cross branch
experience, put preparation for dis
aster-relief on a scientific founda-
ton, SO that it is now equipped to
meet disaster emergencies promptly
in almost every part of our country.
"By systematic plans and practical
performances it has given clear an
swer to the question why the Red
Cross should be continued and car
ried over from war ACTIVITY into
peace time activity. The-answer is in
the record.
additional to these obvious as
poets of the matter there is another
reason Why I, as president of the
United States and president hf the
American Red Cross, urge my fell
lcw-countrymen to join the Red
Cross in impressive numbers: Reac-
tion follows emotion, and after great
effort comes perilous lassitude.
Sound patriotism and genuine human
service are continuous, not intermit-
tent, not contigent merely upon the
excitement of war If there is in some
of us an inward cooling of the fine
fevor which animated us in the
crisis of the nations stress and peril,
a contraction of the spirit which en-
nabled us as individuals and as a
nation, now, during the Red Cross
Roll. Call is a fitting season to take
counsel with our inner selves, to re-
kindle the old flame, to reaffirm al
legiance to practical patriotism and
practical humanitarianism and to
symbolic the regeneration of our
better thoughts and handsomer
selves by re-enlistment in great
army modified for the common good.

Mr.. Powell.
There Is such difference in

and that of all other countries in
Europe the foreign grower can sell
his goods here much cheaper than we

An appropriation was made to Sc

workers in grain selling, these to re-
port at the next meeting, which will
probably be in December.
The committee wants the govern

RED CROSS ROLL
 CALL CONTINUING

The fourth annual membership Roll Call of the Red Cross will continue here for some days to come, or until the arrival of the Roll Call reports from the outlying settlements, accord ing to local Red Cross officials. Tine drive for members was originally scheduled to close Thursday, but owing to the inability of Nome Chapter to make its report until the returns from the outlying sections are received. <. has been decided to keep up the effort. Although the results Of the Roll Call efforts here are quite satisfactory the drive having resulted in the Chapter securing about 300 subscriptions to date, there are still a considerable number who have not en rolled and i. is hoped that q considerable portion of these can be secured by extending the drive few days.

BERiNG PUTS ON
 WINTER ovERcoAT

So far as the unaided eye can see, to east, west and south. Bering Sea is now covered with it's usual winter covering of ice. The pack appeared Sunday last. coming from the west and southwest and continued to press to the east and north until Wednesday.
 The pack appeared much broken up and Was not as heavy as usual Dur ing the first day or two after it's ap- l,earance. the frozen mass kept up a constant gloaning and whining as the broken masses rubbed agains. each other under the impulse of the cur rents. The peculiar noises attrac. ed the attention of many people and at times could be heard on Front Stree. The sounds frequently took on a high pitch. somewhat resembling shrin whistling and at other times took on a dull creaking tone which sometimes became q moan. When the shrfller no:es were sounding the very air seem. ed to be trembling with sharp vibra tions. The weird noises continued at intervals for two days before the pack settled down.

E. COKE HILL A PRoHIBlTioNER

There has been some question in official circles as to what class of .he district attorney variety E.. Coke Hill, old timer and good sport really was whether of the common or garden knd or something in the blue ribbon class, and what fund t's salary Should be pad il om (this la. ," question in par ticular). A wire received from the at torney general recently settles that.
 Coke is ''prohibitioner," net. They have appropriated lot of money to enforce :he prohibition laws which all the money in the United States seem ingly cannot cram down the throats of the people. and in our neck of the woods they have singled out Coke as the beneficiary of that fund.
 So. if Coke catches you in the act or a party to the act. you needn't blame him for it. He is inflicted that away by the governmen! which he has signed on with It's his business. handed to him, and he has to go thru the tricks to ease his conscience in taking the money. .-Exchange

ROAD COMMISSION TO
 TAKE TRAFFIC CENSUS

A comprehensive census of the voI- tune of traffic over the various federal road and trail routes in .his district will be taken by the Alaska Road Commission between January and December s1. 1921. probably for the purpose of securing an understanding of the traffc on which to base tte fu- ture road and trail construction and maintenance activities
 Supt. Chas. Jones has received in- structions from the headquarters at Juneau to tht following effect
 Tt is iesired to<have thorough traffic census taken of all Alaska Road Commission routes for .he period fror, January 1. 1921 to December s1, 1921.
 "The manner in which this census will be taken will depend largely on local conditions. On routes where there is a. ferry it obviously will be easy to have a count taken by the fer ryrnan. In other cases it will be ne- cessary to depend on road house keep CTS, mail carriers. posamasters. mine operators and such other local people as will be willing to help us.
 Tn this cepsus the following infor- nation is desired:
 Total number of vehicles travelling on route. either automobiles. wagons sleds, pack horses, etc.
 Total number of persons travel ing on route.
 Total tonnage and traffic of freight over route.
 Also a general Statement as to the nature of the travel.-tourist. miningl mail. reindeer industry .etc.
 Reports should be submitted quart erly to this office by each district of flee of the census for the previous quarter"
