 Father Ruppert left the Hot Springs on December 14th., for the purpose of coming to Nome to parti- cipate in the services at the Roman Catholic Church.

The travellers ar rived at Duffy O'Connor's roadhouse approximately g miles from the Hot Springs and about 60 m.!.s from Nome. On the evening of the 14th., upon arriving at O'Connor's, Father Ruppert was informed that there was a box of fruit at that plac" for the children of the Springs. Re alizing that unless the fruit was talk en to the Springs at one" that 1t would not be available for the child rens' Christmas. the Reverend de- cided 10 take the fruit back himself, as he figured that hc had ample time to make q return trip to the springs and then make the trip to Nome be fore Christmas. The other mem bers of the party which made the trip to O'Connor's from the Springs with Father Ruppert,. continued tn" trip on to Nome, and Father Rnp- pert started back to the Hot Springs with six dogs and the box of fruit which was the indirect cause oi the ending of a life that was being spent in making the pathway of Tiff" easy for others to pass over.

Treasury Surplus Savors of Novelty

" HE national budget has been
balanced for the fiscal year
with surplus of about $780,
100000 of revenue over ex-
penditures. This announcement was
made by General Lord, director of the
bureau of the budget.
The fact that the surplus passed the
S3DOO0OOO mark came as something
of surprise. President Harding pre-
dicted on June IS that the surplus
would be about S2OO,OOOOOO, and it
was then thought it would fall below
the surplus of S291, POI 900 at the end
of the fiscal year 1920.
The S31O.OOOOOO surplus. however,
is not worlds record. The British
government ended its fiscal year on
March 81 last with a budget surplus
of f1O1, 100000, or nearly $500, 600, 900.
In his statement, General Lord said
in part:

lures for the fiscal year ended June

FOUR O'CLOCK is TEA HOUR
Almost Sacred Institution in Buenos
Aires, and Practically Observed
by All Classes.

Tea Is an institution in Buenos
Aires. All offices swear off work tenn
orarily at A o'clock each afternoon,
while white-coated porters bring
steaming cups around to the en-
ployees, and employers gather up
canes and derby hats and saunter
forth for the nearest tea salon. Be
cause of the size of this fashionable
promenade, Gale Florida, the Fifth
avenue of Buenos Aires, is closed to
vehicle traffic from 4 80 to Z 80, says
the World Traveller magazine.
The city imbibes it's coffee and tea
publicly. In the mornings the streets
are congested with walters from
bars carrying nickel pots of Brazil
ian coffee to tardy office clerks. The
Avenida is swamped with other non
alcoholic drinkers who, by paying for
a 10-cent cup of coffee at sidewalk
table, get a post of vantage for the
purpose of ogling pretty women out

Realizing that no relief is in sight.
many who long have waited anxiously
are breaking away and finding highly
profitable positions in outside business.
1t appears that the government is fac
ing a resignation epidemic which may
lead to serious results.
Ten undersecretaries have resigned
since Harding assumed office. A sal
ary of 100000 year with a foreign
trading company lured G. III. Houston
from the side of Hoover and an assist
ant secretaryshlp which paid only
$4,000. The assistant secretary of agri-
culture, C. w. Pugsley, resigned his
$1,000 job to become head of large
western agricultural college.
Many other assistant secretaryships,
WHICH pay slihilariE low SalarleS, may
lose their incumbents. The undersec-
retary of state, who must have years
of diplomatic training, receives only
$500. while the first assistant secre-
tary of state draws only $1,000 year.

upon giving up his position that it WIS

maintain the necessary social activities
on salary of $1,000
His complaint is that already voiced
by numerous government officials in

skinny salaries hardly more than

closely that of S. Parker Gilbert, under
