POstmasters TO Work.

Orders have gone forth from Wash
ington that hereafter, postmasters in
the larger offices of the country are
to be held strictly accountable for the
time and personal attention they give
their official duties.
Postmaster-General Burleson will
require, in addition to the usual quail
itications for appointments, an assur-
ance from the applicant that his
whole business time will be devoted
to the duties of the position. He
thinks that the man who has the job
and gets the highest salary should do
the work.
The above applies principally to
offices of the first and second class.

found it advisable to enlarge the capabil

Names Published.

Some time ago the Anti-Saloon League
announced that it was the intention of
the League to publish the names of per-
sons signing applications for liquor
licenses in this county. A vigorous pro-
test was made by the liquor men against
the publication of these names, but the
League has done what it stated it would
do. Last week the Frederick News and
Post contained page or more each of
these names. Many signers were women.
In number of cases one man signed
several applications. This is the first
time the names of signers for liquor
licenses were ever published, and no
doubt many persons were surprised in
reading over the lists.

Mr.. Sanford l.. Shaffer, real estate

Sunday paper several weeks ago, and on
the early Monday morning mail received
three letters from persons wishing to
rent such property for the summer
season. Prompt answers rented the pro-
perry Tuesday. The total number of in
quiries was seven.
We mention this particularly to show
that opportunities to secure summer peo-
pie are being missed because what they
want is not at hand. Six applicants were
turned away because there was but one
furnished house to rent.

BLESSINGS ON EFFORT.

BLESSINGS ON EFFORT.
IT'S God our heavenly Father
Who makes each little seed,
And puts away within it
The tiny plant we need.
And then he leaves US our part,
To seek that plant within,
So when we add our work to his,
We find what is therein.
Man plows the field and scatters
The wheat seed all around.
But it's God who sends the sunlight
And rain upon the ground.
He sends the rain and sunshine,
To help to make our bread,
And when we add our work to his
The hungry can be fed.

POEMS FOR APRIL.

The following poems were selected by
Miss Ella V. Krieg, primary supervisor
Of the schools in Frederick county, for
use in schools during the month of April.
MY GARDEN BED.
In my little garden bed,
Raked so nicely over,
First the tiny seeds SOW,
Then with soft earth cover.
Shining down the great round sun,
Smiles upon them often;
Little raindrops pattering down,
Help the seeds to soften.
Then the little plant awakes,
Down the roots 90 creeping;
Up it lifts it's tiny head
Through the brown mold peeping.
High and higher still it grows.
Through the summer hours;
Till some happy day the buds
Will open into flowers.

AN APRIL WELCOME.

Come up, April, through the valley,
In your robes Of beauty drest;
Come and wake your howery children
From their wintry beds of rest;
Come and over them blow softly,
With the sweet breath of the south,
Drop upon them warm and loving,
Tenderest kisses of your mouth.
Call the crow-foot and the crocus,
And the pale anemone,
Call the violet and the daisy,
Clothed with careful modesty;
Seek the low and humble blossoms,
OF their beauties unaware,
Let the dandelion and fennel
Show their golden hair.

WHO TOLD THE NEWS?


Oh, the sunshine told the bluebird,
And the bluebird told the rock,
That the dandelions were peeping
From the woodlands sheltered nook;
So the brook was blithe and happy,
And it babbled all the way,
AS it ran to tell the river
Of the coming of the May.
Then the river told the meadow,
And the meadow told the bee,
That the tender buds were swelling
On the old horse-chestnut tree;
And the bee shook off its torpor,
And it spread each gauzy wing,
As it flew to tell the flowers
Of the coming of the spring.
