BUREAU TAKING : STEPS RELIEVE
 FOOD SITUATION
Lopp Authorizes Purchase of Supplies for Destitute
 Kuskokwim Natives.

For the relief of destitute Ma tives on the lower Kuskokwim river, U. s. Commissioner Hoffman, at Napiamut, the expenditure of $100 has been authorized by w. T. Lopp, chief of the Bureau of Education for Alaska. This money is to give temporary relief only and MT. LOpp has instructed Superintendent Kill buck, of the KusEol.wim district with headquarters at Kiana, to make an investigation and provide what ever supplies and deer meat is rceded.
 Infomc tion regarding this action was received by Gov Thomas Riggs tEis morning in response to tele- graphic inquiry made by him yester- day to the Seattle office of the Bu- reau of Education. In the reply it was stated that no additional in formation had been received from the district where food shortage wcs reported by Commissioner HoH- man several days ago i'll a telegram reading as follCws: II appeal to you for help. There's are several sad cases of natives starving on this pert of the Kuskol,wim River Ma tive found dead leaving wife and six children without food. Natives be- low Napiamut sick and no food. Let ter will follow can supply food from this point. ''
 The message, although apparently from Iditarod, is believed to hcve Lave been sent to Iditarod by special messengers as there is no regular mail route between the two places, but the short trail between Flat and the lower country lies within I few miles of Napaimut. The latter place is situated we'll down on the Kusko- kwim River in the Southwestern end of the Fourth Division.
 It is believed that Superintendent Kilbuck will be able to handle the situation unless it is more Serious that has been reported so far. Akiak, headquarters for the Bureau of Education for the district, is ap- proximately 45 miles below Napia- nut on the same stream.
 Gov Riggs has been unable to get any information direct on the situation. He wired the U. S. Con- missioner at McGrath recently ask ing for details but nothing was known there, the Commissioners reply received this morning saving that the natives in the Mt McKin- ley district are well supplied with food. McGrath is on the Upper Kus- koEwim and not on the trail Gcrv- ing Nap:amut

HOLDING CHEMICAL TRADE

Official statistics for the fiscal year
1920 demonstrate that this country

chemical and allied products very near
the high mark set during the war, de-
spite the loss of markets for purely
war supplies and despite the pressing

SERVICE MORE THAN GIVING
Deepest Spirit of Christmas Does Not
Z confine Itself to One Day, but
is Manifest Entire Year.

The deepest spirit of the Christmas
outpouring that flows over the Chris
tan world is the impulse for human
service that runs through the whole
year.
1t is easy to give recklessly out of
ones abundance, or even to share care,
fully ones pittance. The distribution
or Christmas dinners through hun
dreds of self-denying families means a
days happiness for the giver and re-
ceiver. But it is greater happiness to
both to follow through the year with
aid to self-dependence, encouragement
to hope, and support in striving for
better living.
This is the giving of self, and they
who know how to give of themselves
wisely are the highest givers. The
best feature of Christmas is it's ma
terial expression of q whole yehr of
human service that runs like thread
through human lives.
Only these holiday glimpses reveal
to the careless how many are dedi-
Gated to share in this unobtrusive
service to the humbly striving and to
the accomplishing needy; how many
families are under constant stimulus
to the best sort of self-help; how many
children are beng quietly led to a
higher level of living and striving for
themselves between Christmas and
Christmas.

ess. 1t is, therefore, only partly a
parasite so far as dependence upon
host for food is concerned, but ap-
parehtly none the less harmful on that
account. 1t secures from its host only
what the normal shrubbery plant de-
rives from the soil, namely, water and
certain necessary mineral constituents.
Imagine grapevine or a trumpet
creeper, while retaining it's foliage, to
sever connection with the soil and to
thrust rootlike outgrowths into the
body of the tree to which it clings, in
order to absorb from the tree what
before it absorbed from the soil. This
would represent the relation which
mistletoe Sustains to it's host"
1t is interesting to note that there
are points of difference between the
American mistletoe and the European
mistletoe, to which such a wealth of
legend and romance attaches, But the
points of difference are not import
ant, and the American is very like
ance and its habits of life. The name
'mistletoe" was long ago applied to
the mysterious parasitic European
shrub to which centuries later Lin
naeus gave the name viscum album.
Since that time related species have
been found in nearly all parts of the
world, especially in the warm coun-
tries. The family of mistletoes is
now known to be a large one, en-
bracing more than six hundred species.
1t has been written that in the course
of botanical explorations in the west
ern hemisphere numerous representa-
tives of the family were found, and
among them was one which so close
ly resembled the original mistletoe
that it was given the generic name of
viscum. with the specific designation
OF "davescens," and one early botan-
ical explorer, the celebrated Thomas
Walter, called the specimens which he
found in the Carolinas viscum album,
under the impression that they were
identical with the European plant.
