CONDITIONS HERE BETTER
 THAN ABROAD

People in this country do not begin to realize how bad conditions are on the other side of the Atlantic, accord ing to Miss Lamond, who returned to Nenana this week after an absence of nine months, a considerable part of which time was spent in Scotland, says the News Conditions are bad enough in the United States, she says, but they do not begin to com pare with what she saw abroad.
 All of Scotland is in a turmoil, with factories closed and agitators very busy and numerous in all parts of the country. Production is very far below normal large numbers of work CTS idle, and prices are very high, with fuel and many articles of food hard to get at any price. Sugar and butter, for instance, command a price of six shillings a pound ($150) in Glasgow and sales of many articles are limited
 Miss Lamond says she found the people of Glasgow and other cities in Scotland on the lookout for new ar rivals, and especially arrivals from the United States Americans ap- pear to be listed as easy marks and prices go up whenever one is sighted. Miss Lamond had to give up eight good American dollars for a room at one of the hotels and she found other grafters ready to take her money at every turn
 Miss Lamond had intended to make long stay in the old country, but she found conditions so upset that she cut short her visit and hastened back to Alaska, which looks better to her than any place she saw dur ing her absence.
 On the way back, Miss Lamond visited with MT. and Mrs. Dan Dris- coll, former Fairbanksans, who are very comfortably settled on a little place in Oregon and, apparently, very

MISSION GIVES
 LITERALLY TO
 EUR0PERELIEF

NENANA, May 9.-When the ap- peal for financial aid for the starving children of Europe was heard at St. Marks Episcopal mission, shortly after Christmas, the members of the staff and the children of the mission inaugurated an active campaign, put ting forth every effort to raise sub stanial sum by Easter.
 The boys of the mission were given permission to go into town Sat urday afternoons to get jobs of piling wood, shoveling snow and other work of that nature, and they were also given the little extra jobs about the mission. The larger girls did crocheting for the mission and for a number of ladies in town, and the smaller girls were given extra house. work to do. It was the rule of the campaign that every one of the chil- dren work for the money contributed to the fund, and all entered into the work with enthusiasm, with the re- suit that the children of the mission raised total of $121.50. The father of one of the children and a few of the village people gave $19.50 to the fund, and the members of the mission staff brought the grand total to $210.
 One little girls father gave her $10 and she immediately put the money in the fund, together with $450 that she had earned. Another girl, who has not walked for nearly two years, earned $215O by crochet ing and knitting, and one of the boys earned $2O.
 The members of the mission staff are Miss Bessie B. Blacknall, Miss Jackson, Miss Myrtle Rose, Miss Fern Rose and Arthur Wright.
