Do You Support Nome As Nome Supports You? Do you send outside for the little things and other necessities which you need in your daily life here in Nome instead of buying those articles at Home? Do you believe that trade at home is worth-while? Do you believe it is helping your community any when you send your money out side for things that could just as easily be purchas ed here, with but the leg itimate raise necessary to maintain business? Do you really benefit to any degree when you do so? If you will cheek up, you will see that every dollar that is sent to business con cerns of the States for mer chandise which could be pun hed here, is so much loss to the community, and even ually to yourself.

Repeated htempts at appeal and re voking of the death senten ce have failed and technic ally, and in the eyes of the law, Hauptmann is guilty. He has been saved from the electric chair three tim es during the past year, and once again his doom appears imminent. We won der if he will finally be er ased for the crime for which he is convicted, and which caused such clamor and concerted attempts of the law to eradicate kid napping from the United States. “Andy" Passes Away Andrew Anderson, a pio neer Nome resident, died in San Francisco recently.
