 Si Perkins got to town all right with the barrel of apple cider which was nice and sweet much to disgust of the townsmen but to the seeming satisfaction of the official samplers and the product was partaken of with gusto.
 One numbe rwhich was entered into with spirit was the square dance which was called by Charles Jones. and the lads and lassies enjoyed it to the greatest extent.
 The correct time was received from the Signal Corps Radio Sta ton and on the minute of mid night the crowd was surprised to hear for the first time in Nome. the earsplitting walls of the new city fire siren which had been set up behind the curtain on the stage. Serpentine and confetti were at that time loosed from the "loft" and soon the floor as well as the danc- CTS and musicians were we'll GOV cred with the varicOlored flakes and stringers. Other devices used to make the din complete included large bell carried by two "hay-seeds." sleigh bells. COW bells and horns and power fog horn from the U. S. Coast Guard Station.
 Tag dances. circles and other means of allowing the crowd to intermingle were in evidence and the introduction formalities were completely done away with as all the farmers were supposed to know all the ladies in the vicinity any way.
 At the last strains of "Home Sweet Home" were being played at late hour. the big siren was again heard by the largest crowd that has attended social funct- Aou III ASoMc tuis "iutci' anu "hu almost without exception stayed until the end of the dance.

 Don't you think know any thing?"
 She assured him that she did not doubt that he knew, but urged him to state for her benefit. Tho not crediting her sincerity. he fln- ally exclaimed. curtly: "On the side of his head. of course. where other folks are! Do you suppose I'm a fool!

 Novel NOismaker Used

New years may come and new years may go. but the celebration of the beginning of the new year 1925 in Nome will long be remem- bered as one of "the" new years of history without doubt.
 The barn dance given by the A. B. Club at their hall was the big event of the night and was attend ed by every farmer, stump rancher and stock raiser in the vicinity. not to say anything about their families and the school ma'arms from the various district schools.
 The committee saw to 1t that all the equipment was cleared from the floor of the "barn" and all the harness hung up on the various pegs at he edge of the loft" which by the way was filled with inter- ested spectators. Then they got busy with their can openers and opened some baled alfalfa which they placed along the side of the dancing area for seats. Lanterns hanging from the "loft" furnished extra bright lights for the occas- ion with their electric wicks.
 The squires Gabrielson and Woof- ter were prevailed upon by May Bunting and Klondy Woofter to help with the music end of the dance whenever they could be found and the combination con- cocted some of the most appro- priate strains for the occasion Now and then. to give the fiddlers a rest, other features were sand wiched into the regular dance pro- gram, one being the Young Mems volstead Club quartette of Squash Creek with selection "How Dry I Am" which was followed by Dr. Curtis Welch on the saxophone in a masterful selection "Just As Am."
 The Green Brothers. prosperous prune growers of the Kougarok with their saxophone quartette. ac- companied by Mrs. Curtis Welch at the piano gave a few numbers some of which were so good tha, the dancers preferred standing to listen rather than to dance espec- ially in the song f,i comic mum bers.

a single detail of the car that has
not had the attention of entire en-
gineering staffs.
In contrasting the advances made
in motor car design, the local
Studebaker dealer pointed out that
improvements are now confined to
details. Because of this, Stude-
baker believes that annual model
changes are unwarranted Based
on this conviction, the Studebaker
policy of Noyearly-models' was
adopted"
Explaining this policy, G. G.
Payne, said: "Studebaker cars are
kept constantly up to date without
regard for the calendar. The elm
ination of spectacular annual an
nouncements of new yearly models
saves thousands of dollars for
Studebaker owners whose cars
would be artifcially deprecated in
value if Studebaker followed the
plan of saving up changes for sew
eral months and making them the
occasion for spectacular announce

Uniform Standard
Of Service Given
Chevrolet Owners

The service promotion depart
ment of the Chevrolet Motor COM
pany, in it's work of establishing
throughout the nation a uniform
standard of service for Chevrolet
owners, is doubling the number of
Chevrolet service in t r u n
schools.
Before the first of the year it is
expected that 20 of these schools
will be in operation. Through their
painstaking instruction of mechan-
les, foremen and proprietors of
Chevrolet service stations the
schools are assuring to every Chew
rolet owner the highest degree OF
continued driving satisfaction.
]. P. Little, manager of parts and
service for the Chevrolet Motor
company, has joined and coordin-
ated the field force of his service
promotion division, with the service
schools. Formerly the two were
operated independently. Now Is
men are engaged in the joint work
of school instruction and service
promotion.
Separate courses of one week
each are given at the service
schools for Chevrolet mechanics
service foremen and service sta
ton owners. The mechanics work
under skilled instructors in model
shops. Using precision equipment
they are shown the quickest an6
most efficient manner of doing al
