moving to Nome from the States. He was at somewhat of a loss 10 explain the sudden interest in Nome and this section Of Alaska, until he observed an article Tn the December issue of the Cos mopolitan magazine by James J. HflShire, a writer who visited Nome this past summer. The title of the article was Opportunity, Hot or Cold" and symbolized the advantages of moving to the U. S.'s outposts of the Philippines or Alaska.
 He read several paragraphs from the story pertaining to Al aska and Nome in particular and the comments made by promin- ent people of this section con corning the opportunity for young people in Alaska today as business people and miners and prospectors.
 The story referred to was un- usually specific and presented a fine viewpoint on Nome - the type of publicity which is going to do this section some good. Dis cuSsion occurred as to the past policy of the Chamber of Com merce in discouraging newcomers 10 come to Nome unless they had jobs or were financially inde- pendent. The subject of answer ing the letters and of the form ulation of a definite policy was referred to the Board of Direct ors which will report its opinion at the next meeting.
 Secretary Polet introduced the subject of securing the construc ton of road and culvert fill across Dry Creek to Belmont Point, following the destruction of the foot bridge in the recent storm. The subject was referred to the Roads Committee 10 con fer with the city council and the Alaska Road Commission offic- ials, after which the meeting ad journed.

ONCE UPON JULY 5th
The man usually singled out next
to Paul Jones as the greatest of all
American naval commanders, David
Glasgow Farragut, was born nearly
Campbell Station, near Knoxville,
Tenn, 1877 years ago today.
Only twelve years later he became
commander of vessel for the Navy
A midshipman aboard the U. S. S..
Essex in the War of 1872, he was
placed aboard a British ship captur-
ed in the Pacific as prize master.
When Farragut gave his first order,
the captain of the captured ship flew
into a violent rage, declaring he
had no idea of trusting himself to
g damned NUTSHELL" and went below
for his pistols.
Whereupon Farragut assumed COM
plete command had his orders obey
ed notified the captain that if he
appeared on deck he would be thrown
overheard, and was thenceforth mast
er of the ship, which he took into Val
paraiso.
But for a chance remark, he might
have become the great admiral the
Confederate Navy needed. When the
war broke out in 1861, Farragut was
awaiting orders at Norfolk, Va, and
his sympathies were with his native.
South. A remark he made about the
legality of President Lincoln's action
in calling for troops led an over zeal-
Gus eavesdropper to tell him, threat
eningly, that person with such senti
ments could not live in Norfolk.
Every we'll, then, Farragut replied,
"I can live somewhere else" That
same day he departed the city with
his wife and son.
A few weeks later he was summon
ed to Washington given a command,
and went to work to make himself
the outstanding naval hero of the
War Between the States.
He reached the height of his glory
in the Battle of New Orleans, where
he uttered his historic: Damn the
torpedoes, go aheadw
One of his rewards was the grade
Of admiral, the first the Navy ever
had Until then, the highest rank
was commodore.

Grits and Gravel
(By T. MOSES JONEs.)

Some days ago I spoke of us going
out home the very day they threshed
wheat, and that it reminded me of
quotation II had Somewhere seen or
heard about "the chaff which the
wind driveth away" I asked for the
whole quotation and soon received
+ the following letter. I have saved
this letter for this very occasion, it
seems. 3t,
my dear T. Moses
Are you trying to bait your readers
t. find out how well We know. our
Bibles? f,ss~f 81 : ass f.'-
If so, / bite
The quotation you asked for is
found in the LIST Psalm, verse 4. "The
ungodly are not so; but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth away.
Why not quote the entire Psalm
sometime in your column. 1t is short,
but one could look for and find no
better standard Of living in these
troublous times.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Andrew J. Davis,
504' Charles ST.,
Henderson, N. G.
June '21st."
was wondering if still have even
one reader left, but there seems to be
at least that many. Many thanks,
Mrs. Davis, for the answer to my in
quiry, and the request on your part.
I am going to make the quoting of
this Psalm do double duty. First,
it is in answer to your request, and
second, it is as a memorial.
If any child Cor anyone else) mem
orizes it from this copy, I wish they
would write me q card and let me
know.
Late yesterday we went out to the
home of my wife's Uncle Herbert It
is about halfway from Oxford to Sto-
vail, just off the highway. He had
not been we'll for some time but was
the kind, who had rather wear out
ed of late that he not try to work,
but he would not be content to sit
and hold his hands.
In the fields yesterday morning he
was taken very sick, just barely be-
ing able to get to the house. Soon
afterward he became unconscious and
did not know any more. Shortly aft
er our arrival he quietly passed. And
as I read the following 1T seems just
as though the first three verses are
speaking directly about Uncle Her
bert.
PSANL 1
/. Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2. But his delight is in the law of

itate day and night.

I'd by the rivers of water that bring
eth forth his fruit in his season: his
eaf also shall not wither; and what
soever he doth shall prosper.

Sacks filled with wheat sent to the
North Carolina owned plant at Salt
ville Virginia, were refilled with salt,
which was a much needed commodity
among the people.
2. General Julian S. Carr. At that
time General Carr was the only act
ing trustee of old Trinity College, in
Randolph county. He had kept the
college in operation even after it had
been abandoned by the Methodist
Conference. In all probability he was
solely responsible for it's removal to
Durham.
8. His untiring efforts to relieve
distress and to alleviate suffering and
to aid the needy among the people of
North Carolina during the war is
given as the first reason. Under his
direction more than six million dol
lars we're appropriated by the State
for relief work.
