Families in
 Need Are 10
 BeGiiveIl Aid
Cheer Boxes Are Sought by Salvation Army
 How 10 Help

Do you want to help needy fam fly have a good Christmas dinner, especially a family where there are children?
 There is an opportunity offered right now-and how
 Capt. Stanley Jackson, of the Salvation Army says he has been asked during the past few days if any help is wanted by the Army in the Christmas cheer program, Sev- eral persons declaring they wanted to have the name of some worthy family so they could make up box of food.
 "Yes, we will need all the help we can get said Capt Jackson. There are those who will be mighty glad to receive a little extra at Christ mas time, especially families where there are children.
 Several Ways
 There are several ways those de- siring may help in this worthy cause. A box of food, with such commodi- ties as good toward Christmas dinner would certainly help. This box may be for small medium or large family. There are families, perhaps, who shrink from the pub licity of having their names known that they are in need of assistance Therefore the boxes may be sent to the Army, or we will call for them, and all may be sure they will cer- tainly be delivered to the right fam ily before Christmas. One can other wise aid by giving the Army an or der on a grocery store to stated amount, or checks may be sent, just as one sees fit, if box is not sent.
 All Work Together
 There are lodges, churches and many individuals looking after those who require food remembrances on Christmas, but believe we have a different list, especially among new corners. I intend to call a special meeting of the charitable agencies

Red-haired and redder moustached, he was the big show at the national committee session. When the meeting broke up, reporters rushed first to him for a 10-minute questioning while national chairman Hamilton, the party spokesman, was left so con- spicuously alone that half dozen observers were moved to comment on it. Hamilton's turn came later, of course.

This Alligator Must Rustic His
 Own Eats Now

JACKSONVILLE, Florida, R- A scaly old alligator in a Florida swamp south of here has a score to settle with government inves- tfgators of the federal alcohol tax unit.
 The nine foot saurian was lv- ing like a lord on fat young hogs who became tipsy from bootleg still mash until the tax men fin ally wrecked his meal ticket.
 The investigators saw the cagy reptile slide into the water while they were demolishing the still. Nearby were the remains of sav- eral half-grown hogs.
 The still wreckers said it was obvious the alligator had been lying around the moonshine plant for an easy living. Hogs, they explained, frequent bootleg stills and as soon as young porker guzzled enough liquor mash to get tipsy and wandered to the waters edge, it was an easy mark for Old MT. Gator.

S85O.OO In Prizes Solomon Derby
 Be Held April

At the last meeting of the Nome Kennel Club, held Friday, it was decided to revive the former "Sol omon Derby, dog racing classic held here many years ago. The course is from Nome along the Boring Sea ice to Solomon, a dis tance of 32 miles, and return, making a total distance of GA miles.
 As prizes for the race is was decided to set $500 as first prize; $25000 as second and $l00 as the third prize-exceptionally fine purses for this type of race. The date set for the classic was agreed as April 3rd. An entrance fee of SIS will be charged, said direc- tors of the Club.
 Other dog races and winter events arranged on schedule are as follows:
 February 12th, Lincoln's Birth day, a High School Burden Race.
 Other races on Washington's irthday, Feb. 22nd, and 27th.
 On March 5th, special Mems Speed Race to Cape Nome and return, the former Marathon Dog Derby with prizes of S150, $75! and S25. This race will take place on the day of the big Kennel Club Carnival, which winds up the Queen Contest for the cleo ton of Miss Nome to go to Fairbanks.
 The dog race schedule this year should attract numerous racers from out of town and around Seward Peninsula. The speed race in February and the big Solomon Derby in the early part of April will wind up the dog rae ing for 1888 and will undoubted ly attract many entrants. All en- trants in either race should com muniate with Secretary, Wilfred Boucher, in Nome, for further particulars.
