In one of our columns the Po- let's Store is offering a series of prizes to the one that can guess the closest as to the population of the City or Nome and also to the one that can give the closest guess as to the population of the Second Division.
 It is interesting to attempt to secure the idea of many of our citizens on this subject. It is the prevalent opinion that Nome and Seward Peninsula have been los ing in population but if one stops to consider the school census and the children that are going to school and figuring the usual per centage of to l 1t brings the Nome population to much more than it was at the time of the census in 1930
 What is your guess? Prelimin- ary reports are expected by mail from now on.

The annual benefit entertain ment for the Pilgrim Springs School for Orphans will be held Saturday night in the High School Auditorium. The needs of this school now in operation for more than twenty years are well known to all Approximately fifty children call Pilgrim Springs home. They are gathered from the broken homes of Seward Pen insula, clothed, fed and educated Those who know the worries con nected with caring for. such a large number of children are the only ones who can properly un- derstand what it means to face each year and to answer the ques tion, Gan we continue for one more year?"
 The school has been supported all these years by the free-Will offerings of generous people in the States and the self sacrifice of the various members of the staff of Pilgrim Springs. It is not commonly known that not a sin gle member of the staff gets even one dollar year in salary. Board and room and clothing are given in exchange for complete devo- ton 10 the care of Alaska's child ren.
 Just this year the Pilgrim Springs School must make a large outlay for a heating plant. This plant will cost at least a thousand dollars. Your copoera- ton in making the entertainment a financial success will do much to enable the Springs to buy this heating plant. We are all proper ly concerned about the plight of the children of our brothers and sisters in countries now at war. The little children at the Springs must also be your concern.

Paul Laurence Dunbar
An Evaluation
BY cHARLEsT r. II. JOHNSON

Some authorities have said that
Paul Laurence Dunbar should occu-
py as high place in American Lit
erature as does Robert Burns in the
British Literary world, If not high
ers. have classed him with Shelly,
Keats and Byron of English fame,
som ewith Pushkin Of Russion ac-
claim, and still others have classed
him with Dumas Of French renown.
But IN my mind Dunbar stands
out in high relief in citadel Of his
own.
The deety pathetic and highly ar
tistic human document, which he
gave to our civilization will live on
thru out the ages; a thing Of intrin-
sic value, Of lasting beauty, and a
JOY forever.
In his writings are combined his-
tory, truism, hnmor, beauty, pathos,
together with vivid soulful reveal
alton Of the workings of the human
heart; all so deftly interviewer, that
it Is like unto an Egyptian mosaic
His was an urgent appeal, as the
voice of one crying in the wider
ness, the vibrant plea of which re-
echoes the heart throbs Of CROP
ing humanity.
He spreads feast upon life's
| table, with wine, ambrosia and nee
/ tar for delight and the PATIENT trav-
| eler along the Journey may dine
sumptuouay with him.
/ His gift Of song was as q sound
| In ganvil upon which was shaped the
golden link between two races.
Dunbar stood on the brink of a
/ dawning--the birth Of a fair new
day--Behind him lay the sunny
i South, with its tragic, yet quaint and
fascinating legend, saw him as he
stood there, resolute, calm, as If
mastering stength for some great
! venture--Now he looks back upon
the Southern scene, with compass
/ sionate longing and understanding
heart Now, he strains his eyes Took
ing forward as the rosy dawn of the
i new day crecps ever nearer, sur
rounding him in brilliant aurora
Then, quickly he gathers al that is
! best from the past and hastens for
ward to greet the new day.
Thus, we find in his work that
rare and priceless quantity which
none save himself, with his heritage,
could possibly give to American at-
erature.
/ Every stroke Of his pen was a
master stroke a polished gem from
the jewelers. hand,
Incompatible; he stands alanc.
The world has known. one Shakes
