TEACHING OUR BOYS AND GIRLS HOW TO

But she was just twelve years too

It's not 4 kindness to . child to
do the hundred and one little things
that he should be taught to do for
himself. We must teach our children
initiative. and to do this they must
have little responsibilities Of their
own. As they grow older these may
be increased so that they will grad
ually become more efficient and
better able to face the responsibili-
ties of life.
One Of the most unhappy girls I
know is one who had . great deal
Of responsibility thrust upon her
when she was wholly unprepared for
II. OF course she was not equal to
II. Her parents had shielded her all
her life from the responsibilities
she should have had. Even very

VICTORY BOND HOLDERS
 CASH YOUR BONDS

Nome has many persons possess ed of Victory Liberty Loan Notes or Bonds, and they will profit by scrutinizing this article carefully.
 In view of the fact that interest ceases on December 18th. 1922 on the 4& percent Victory Liberty Loan Notes (bearing the distin- gushing letters, A, B, c. D. E. or F prefixed to their serial numbers,) the Treasury Department has issu- ed a call for redemption.
 After December 18th, 1922 the bonds no longer bear interest and bearers of these bonds should lose no time in presenting them for re- demption.
 Owners can also exchange these Victory Notes for the new issue of AZ percent Treasury Notes. seriea C-1925. dated December IS. 1922 and maturing June Is, 1925; or they can convert the redemption proceeds of their Victory Notes into the 1923 series of five-year Treas ury Savings Certificates, issued in denominations of S25, $100 and 5000.

 Retel thirteenth and upon receipt of deposit by City of Nome. as agreed. dredging will be resumed a soon as weather permits, in May CT June. Without such deposit the law requires abandonment of the project and no further expenditures can be legally made

The City Council has gone cn record as certainly willing to ful- i'll its part of the contract just as soon as the government engineers complete their work of Dredging the harbor. Mayor Maynard states. However, that further negotiations by wire with Col. Steese will be pursued.

after a lesson in cleaning, reported
that she had cleaned the store Of
the shoemaker in her community.
AS a means of developing inter-

with the charity organization of
the community is urged. The
needs of specific families in relation
to food and clothing, may be de
