ISMS AND ANTAGONISTS

The growing hostility between Italy and Russia, brought to a head by Italian adherence to the anti-communistic pact, draws at tention once more to the threat to world peace which arises from the international character of fas- cism and communism.
 Italys respons to Russian ob- jections to the pact is that Italy is not an enemy of Russia, but simply of communism-which, as far as that goes, is probably true enough. But the trouble with both of these nations is that their governments are inseperably wed ded to world movements which must inevitably interfere in the affairs of other nations.
 It is perfectly possible, of course, to be bitterly opposed to fascism or communism and not opposed to Russia or Italy at all but it is awfully hard. And as long as those two isms continue to arouse antagonism abroad, world peace will remain peril ously insecure.-Exchange.

ALASKA'S NEED-PEOPLE

In his annual report to Interior Department Secretary, Harold L. Ickes, Governor John w. Troy has again put the finger on Alas ka's greatest need-that of popu- lation. As the force of numbers conquered the old west and prot rise of industrial cities and agri- cultural development in what was once a vast wilderness, the force of numbers can and will develop the north. The major purpose is to keep that tide of empire moving northward and develop the natural resources of the Territory to maintain it.
 In his report, the Governor paints the whole picture and points out how that increased population can be encouraged & perpetuated in the Territory as 1t arrives. He recommends the further establishment of agricul- tural colonies, zut, more import ant, he urges that a system of aiding settlers who come to the Territory of their own volition to follow agricultural pursuits, be established.
 The Chief Executive recommends two major undertakings in this connection-construction of an international highway through British Columbia and Yukon Ter ritory and further development of air travel by construction of additional airports and establish ment of regularly scheduled air routes.
 These are the things which must be encouraged if Alaska is to go forWard-agricultural set

PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENT

After much thought and long consideration given the possibil- ity of continuing a daily paper in Nome from January to the opening of navigation, we have come to the conclusion that there is not sufficient business to warr. ant the same without raising the price of both advertising and sub. scrlption, due to the increased cost of paper stock materials and other commodities and the de- crease and usual falling off od advertising during this period of the year.
 Therefore, 1t is necessary for the publishers of the Nugget to follow the trend of other business houses in curtailing operating expenses, and furnish this com- munity with the size paper that 1t Is able or willing to support. This is your paper as well as ours. It is constantly attempting to better conditions in Nome and Seward Peninsula. It works for your good as we'll as our own. It should receive your hearty sup port in all ways possible. It is with deep regret that we must resort to cutting down the daily to tri-weekly, at the regular sub scription rates of $2.00 per month and 25 cents per copy on the street. Henceforth, the Nugget will appear every Monday, We'd nesday and Friday of each week, until such time as business will warrant publication oftener.
 During previous years from January to June, the publishers have furnished this community with daily publication at a con- siderable loss-to find that we are wearing out our machinery, depicting stock, and not receiv- ing sufficient compensation.
 To our subscribers we wish to say that the Nuggets regular daily telegraph service from the Associated Press with it's picture service will be received daily. The only difference is, there will be two days telegraph news in each paper published every other day.
 We are also in position to han dle page advertisements or other advertising whenever the occa- sion arises, and from time to time an eight page paper will be is- sued, giving three extra full pages of reading matter, comics, special feature articles and pie lures.

CHAPTER Is

THE FIRST game Of the season
for Rice Institute in this autumn
of 1888 was with the University
of Oklahoma, played in the new
Rice stadium. It was bound to, be
a worthwhile game, regardless of
the score, for the SoonerS had
edged out 60 victory over the
championship Rice team in 1887.
Everybody with his wife and dog

Mr.. T. J. Sanders had no wife.
but he did have dog.
This dog, a bench-legged bull,
was so ferocious looking that it
had been named Nightmare. And
by adoitlyr painting its face, tieing
false ears on it, and otherwise
dressing it in feathers, poor Night
mare had been made to resemble
a dangerous looking owl. The Rice
football players are called Owls.
But Mr.. T. j. Sanders was not
a Rice student, nor even an alum
nus. He was southwestern repre-
sentative for the Columbian Sport
ing Goods corporation, and as such
he attended the major games each
season, keeping an eye on the play
ers who achieved most skill and
fame.
This year his firm had offered
$1,000 cash to the Rice man who
should achieve rating as 'sthe best
individual player. in return for
that players endorsement of new
football equipment to be offered.
All of the Rice seniors yearned to
win that prize. Everybody said the
race for it lay between Captain
Jess Hines. a tackle, halfbacks
Ollie Cordill and Ernie Lain, and
big Bob Towne. the end. But deci-
