 Everybody ought to get the baseba. Il habit. It's a great habit once you get thoroughly into 1t and before long the most important evenings in the week will be those on which the big league teams strive one with the other for tn. mastery of the diamond.
 It will not be long until the weekly averages and standing of the teams will be of more importance than the date of the arrival of the next ma il and we were going to say something about a few quiet little wagers on the outcome of the series but we are not sure as to the law in regard to such things.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 2, 1913.
Registered mail will close at 4:3l and the ordinary mail will close at : p. m. on Monday.

There is going 10 be q whole lot ot good accomplished by the do..i.s 4: the athletic world this winter. The Nome baseball league is already well under way and from the. disp d.. ,, enthusiasm among the manage nn.l :"ayers there will be no letup lr m now until the pennant is won
 The board of directors of the league in whose hands rest the assignment of players to the several teams has given great deal of care to the matter of getting things evened up so that all the teams will be evenly matched an.l the games interesting The captains are keeping their men hard at it and ''hen the season opens next Friday :.iel:t 1t will be the beginning of a iong scr:es of events which will add q good deal to the enjoyment of the winter
 Already society is discussing the novel idea of giving box parties at the games to be followed by a little sup per either at one of the cafes or at home. This seems to be a good idea and shows the interest that is being taken in the games by members of the fair sex as we'll as by their more strenuous brothers.
 Outside of the incalculable good which will be derived by the players from the exercise of the game and the enjoyment which the spectators will lind In watching the diamond antics of the ball tossers this making the evenings on which ball games are played sort of social gathering with box parties and the like will do much to enliven the winter with pleasant little social gatherings which are al. ways more delightful when there is an object for the getting together.
 There will be plenty of banners made with the colors of the rival teams in combination and every girl rooter in Nome is expected to show her loyalty to one of tho big leaguy clubs by having one of these flags to wave whenever her hero. or ono of her hesos. lines out n home run or makes a particularly clever stop.
 With the way things are going now 1t would not be surprising to hear the alr at tho ball grounds split with the dislinctive cheers of the rival teams and certain 1t is that Nome will look like the scene of a worlds series game on just a smaller scale. on the nights that the diamond stars perform.
 All of this activity in the way of good. clean. healthy sport for the men and the interest taken in 1t by their "aisters and their cousins and their aunts."-ws quote from the coming liaAt opssa. Pinafore. and might with

pnc billion one hundred ana eight of money and yet it is the amount which has been estimated as required to run this country of ours for the next fiscal year
 Most of this tremendous amount will be used in paying salaries to various and sundry government officials \ good many of them necessary and competent government officials and 4 good many of them absolutely un- necessary and incompetent govern ment officials
 It would be a remarkable thing and a ludicrous thing, If 1t were not So pitiful, the amount of money that is wasted by the government in paying salaries to men who are not needed at all in the government service or who are incompetent to fiii the posi- . tions they hold or who are kept in office. often in offices made for than. merely in order that someone may nay political debt.
 This does not apply to all govern ment officials or even to majority of them. but to far too great minority of the servants of the people are hold ing down positions for which there is absolutely no need and are getting a good deal more for their work than 1t is worth.
 There seems to be remarka ble blight hanging over all government offices especially in Washington which makes it necessary to employ about twice the necessary force at consider ably more salary than the actual work of the office demands.
 No manufacturing plant or business concern could live a yaer if 1t was as wastcful in regard to the employment of labor. and by labor we are speaking of all government positions from the highest to the lowest. as is the gov ernment of the United States.
 It seems almost an inverible custom in the government service to employ two men to do one mans work. That is, the. work that one man would do if he were working for himself or for q private corporation.
 From the capital of the nation down, with, of course. some notable excepq- ti"ns. the average government em- ploye takes life pretty easy. He drifts into his office between nine and ten and he spends q contented day amb- ling about the place or doing half of q real days work and promptly at four he's "off to the races"
 The worst of it Is that this gets to be d habit and after while the man who is holding down the job begins to think that he really i; doing some work and then when the wheel turns and he has to get out and earn living it is hard to buckle down to the actual produce or starve' life of the plain citizen whose livelihood depends upon his own efforts.
 All of this works two hardships. It is hardship on the man who has to really go to work after getting out of the habit and it is a hardship on the people who are paying too much in order that there may be two men in the government employ where one would suffice.
 Anyway we look at 1t government Is q mighty expensive necessity but 1t is q necessity and we could not get on without it. This country could be run. however and run just as we'll as 1t is at present with about ne-thlrd less officials But in that case how
