the Orator of the Day, Hon. Judge G. J. Lomen. Judge Lomen review ed the history of our country, the trying times during our days of na- tional childhood. the love of coun- try and above all else the love of humanity which the orator depicted as the greatest of loves. Realizing the unfavorable weather conditions and the prevailing illness Judge -Lo- men thoughtfully refrained from an oration that might have taken more time to develop his theme along other lines. He confined himself to a brief analysis of Americanisn and the practice of altruism. Up- on concluding his address Judge Lomen was greeted by hearty ap' plause.
 The next and concluding number Of the literary program was singing of America by the audience with the school children taking the lead.
 After this number the fun for the children and the adults as well be- gan. The sports of the day now started in full swing. Foot races for young and old, peanut races. egg race for ladies, sack and three legged races for the boys, dough rut eating contest and other con- tests kept the crowd in an uproar.
 Three features were staged by and for the especial benefit of Eski- mos and consisted of blanket toss ing. in which men and women tried their skill in maintaining their bal ance while being thrown high into the air, from skin blanket operat- Cd by men holding the sides of the skin. One young man and one young woman were proved to far excel their competitors by making perfect jumps without disturbing their equilibrium Two white men tried the game and soon found that it looked easy but was difficult to accomplish.
 Tho event that created the most interest was the high jump and kick, Tf1is feat requires a peculiar coordi- nation of mind and muscles in that the participant must make a high jump and kick at the same time. the mark being white ball sus1 pended from a string. After all had kicked at the ball 1t was raised an inch at time until the height limit had been reached.

NOME CELEBRATES
 GLORIOUS FOURTH

The Fourth of July dawned dark and dreary. all day the clouds hung low and fitful dashes of rain and mist took the joy out of the con- templated celebration. but notwith- standing Nomeites had their cele- bration.
 Many men. women and children were unable to appear during the program held on Barrack Square under the auspices of the American Legion. The prevailing recurrent influenza still held many in its ener- vating grip.
 At one o'clock. notwithstanding the various handicaps, the Square presented lively appearance. many adults braved the indictment weather while the children formed the ma iority. the enthusiastic element Of the days celebration. Taking 1t all in all the day was especially for them. to impress upon their minds the meaning of our Day of Inde- pendence and with the lessons of true American patriotism went the sports of the day to amuse as well as to instruct.
 The literary program was com plete in it's self but the weather conditions shortened the program and changed the plans of the various persons appearing thereon so to ac- comodate conditions.
 As Chairman of the program Mayor Geo s. Maynard made a few opening remarks and then in troduced Frank Dufrese, post adju- tant of the American Legion, who read that mortal doe'.'iehe the b. ciaration of Ind '|,e. ,pas. nes marry Gabrielson.

The entire Square was hushed as this document, pregnant with our high ideals and lofty prin- ciples. was read in voice that was distinctly heard by all present. The pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was given by the Nome School children under the guidance of Miss McMurray and Miss Miller.

RETAIL PRICES IN WEARING
 APPAREL TAKE BIG DROP

The Nome buying public is>at the present time able to make purchases of all kinds of wearing apparel far below the prices prevailing for the last five years. A large stock of men, women and children's gar- ments, hats and footwear are now displayed by our local merchant Leo Seidenverg of the Cheap John Store under the management of Mitchell weisberg.
 J. Seidenverg, who arrived from Seattle on the first Victoria. has opened his mems furnishings store in the building formerly occupied by the Emporium. and is now conduct ing a "Pre War Prices Sale" Jack stutes that he has ordered com rIete line of women's and children's garments to arrive on the next boats ard intends to stay in the communs ity. his wife and family will arrive later in the season.
 Both of these stores nave reiiaDie merchan ndise and the prices now dis played are such that the most criti- cal can find no fault.
 The Nome public generally will no doubt appreciate this price ieduc- tion being practiced by these wide awake merchants. which no doubt will serve as a wholesome example for dealers in GROCERIES and other supplies that all consumers requires to keep the wolf from the door. As prices have dropped in many instances from twenty to fifty percent in the wholesale market, there is no reason why this com munity should be longer subjected to war prices. The world war is OVER although it appears some Nome merchants have NOT received the news.

Sergeant Barry made no COM

warm head back upon the rug he
rose and started a swift, compre-
hensiye search of the apartment.

shoulder a large reflector threw
the powerful light whose refracted

half-opened windows tapped in the
little. hot breeze which had sprung
up with the passing of the threat

A long table covered with scat
tered tubes of paint and brushes,
a few plain chairs and many can
vases of various sizes stacked
against the walls completed the
furnishings of the workmanlike
studio, the ceiling of which was
one huge skylight of glass, and the
detective turned back into the lux
urious living room, his hand me-
chanically searching for and find
