 Men Out Of Work

HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 25.-Ten dis tilleries have been closed down in Cuba in the last few days throwing TOO to 800 men out of work as result of inability to get molasses from which they manufacture alcohol, it was an- nounced today by the secretary of the distillers' association. He apredicted that more would be closed unless an embargo on exportation of molasses is obtained. Four large American con cerns which control most of the present crop of molasses are fighting the pro- posed embargo and American Ambas- sador Crowder now is studying the case.

WONDERFUL SPIRIT OF GIVING

Another year is nearing its ciose and with its ending comes that glad time. the Christmas holiday season. The ab- sent ones are home again or if they cannot come there are the letters and tokens to be sent and received. The remembrance need not be expensive as to money value. to be very much appreciated.
 Christmas is pre-eminently the chill dren's day. Do not insist that Santa will not remember them if they are not good. For we all know that Santa Claus will surely come and the chil- dren know it, too. He did not forget ,is in our own childhood whether we were very. very good or not. Let us teach the children about the wonderful spirit of loving and giving that brings happy Christmas time.

HOODED WITH GIFTS
..m for Those Persons Who Think s.@ta cIaus Deception
 Should Come to End.

We have tried to work out a little Christmas program for those who ob- ject to Santa Claus. We respect the opinions of all who think the decep- ton should be stopped and feel that we ought to help them to arrange a disillusionized and thoroughly harm less Christmas-what you might call a germless and renovated and disin- fected and veracious joy season. which the children will take hold of with enthusiasm without In after days wishing to upbraid their parents and hiss at them, You lied to us!"
 We suggest, therefore, that the chil- dren be called together on Christmas morning by the governor and address ed as follows:
 Kids: We shall now enjoy our gift giving. tore off few scads from my roll the other day and handed them to your mother. and she dived headlong into the bargain counter flood and for two whole days appeared not again. and when she did crawl out, battered, damned. ragged. torn, bruised and old. she clutched to her bosom these few gimcracks. fol-de-rols and highly un- sarviceable articles. We have placed them upon these chairs so as to divest the business of any stage effects that might heighten the pleasure in any way or give false impression. You are to understand that l had to give up for these things. and I wish to for get about It before I feel real good in- side again. and with these few re- marks We will now fall to. and you want to be quick about 1t. for l want to read my paper in peace."-Judge.

EXCUSE FOR CHASING WORK

The Russian working people have always seized upon Christmas as an excuse for ceasing all work for some what lengthy period-sometimes for a month. Before the recent revolution "kolenda" was the celebration on Christmas eve, when the peasants gathered about the houses of the no bles. sang carols and scrambled for the coins tossed to them from the win dows. Then came a great masquerade, when peasants of all ages dressed themselves to represent animals. the idea being to perpetuate the memory of the lowliness of the Saviour's birth In the stable.

ing out samples could not carr! much on my back, so went over or the Kuskokwim and secured three reindeer and used them as pack ami malls to the Kuskokwim.
 "The samples sent to Washington were pronounced very good by pr Brooks and believe the deposit will develop into something valu' able. It vii be necessary to shiI the ore Outside. instead of trying t' treat it on the ground, according tt the recommendations of Dr. Brooks and the richness of the deposit vii justify this. Before any great de. velopment is done it will be neces- sary to have a road to the hills, but this would be a simple matter as il is mostly over a glacial gravel"
 Eskimos Are Prosperous
 MT. Joaquin says the natives are prosperous along the Kuskokwim having experienced successful fishing season and most of them owning reindeer hers, there being about 5000 animals now herding in the Kuskokwim country. The na- tives have been handicapped fo1 means by which the reindeer meat could be marketed, but this will be overcome next season when the cold storage plant being erected by the Waechter Bros. Company, at Bethel, will be in operation. The plant was started in last fall, but earl . ice in the river caused it to be heid Sp.

IMPORTANT FIND SULPHATE
 ARSENIC HAS BEEN MADE

Packing 150 pounds of sulphatt of arsenic ore on the backs of rein deer. Frank Joaquin, well knowr placer operator of Canes creek ophir district, has opened the wa! for what may become extensive arse nic mining operations on the lower Kuskokwim. MT. Joaquin is spend ing the winter in Anchorage aftei leasing his placer holdings on Cane creek to the Ames dredging corpora tion.
 Boil Weevil Creates Demand
 The demand for arsenic has be- come pressing in the United States due to the presence of the boil wee vii, and on suggestions from the late pr. Alfred Brooks, chief of tho Alaska Bureau of the U. S. Geologi- cal Survey, MT. Joaquin last sum mer made a trip into the Kilrukak mountains from the west side to a point on the Eek and Quikhak river some 40 miles due west of Bethel on the Kuskokwim.
 Speaking of the arsenic, MT. Joa. quin says the discovery appears to be of importance due to the purity of the sulphate, which, according to analysis made by the Bureau ot Mines laboratory at Washington runs 70 per cent arsenic.
 'Dr. Brooks promised if discov- cry of arsenic in quantity wa made" said MT. Joaquin, Che woud send a member of the Geological Survey to investigate, and I believe the samples sent to Washington about 50 pounds-will result in ar lnVeStlgatlOn.
 Reindeer as Pack Animals
 Having leased my ground, No. 7 to 13 above discovery on Cane: creek, to the Ames dredging outfit I took a trip into the mountains east of Bethel where I had reason to believe there was an arsennic de- posit I came across two well de- fined veins, one on the Eek river and the other on the Quikhak. The country I searched over glacial nor raine, which offers easy access to the deposit. When it came to talk

AN OPEN LETTER
To the U. S. Civil Service Commission

Gentlemen:
VIZ ISHING to pay my way
w through college, I decided
w last fall to work in the
daytime for the Government and
take an evening course at the
George Washington University.
But being only seventeen years
old, the only position open to me
was that Of a messenger. I took,
therefore, the required examina-
ton and on November / was ap-
pointed messenger.
Humble though I knew this
work to be, / was determined 20
do my best until I reached the
required age for clerical work. To
my great CONSERVATION, however,
soon found out that real work
Is the least requirement in a sub
ordinate: the main thing expected
Of him Is to be q personal servant
and flunky Of his immediate
chief. also found out that while
the petty chiefs use their offices
for private business and break
every rule on the calendar, they
take a special delight in unneces-
sarily slave-driving the under dog,
spying upon his every move. My
chiefeSs, seeing that I have too
much self-respect to be her valet,
began to treat me to insults,
bullying and threats. Conditions
became 80 unbearable that I
asked . the assistant chief clerk
for q transfer.
I was transferred on January
to another division, where the
first two weeks I was treated
pretty decently. Lately. however,
my new chiefess seeing my Ohlig-
ing nature. began to abuse her
authority by asking me to scrub
her desk, to wash rags, to carry
too heavy loads, mostly her pri-
vate property. At first I tried %
do 1t, but finally rebelled against
doing scrubbing and laundry work
in addition to messenger WORK a.
