FARM PRODUCTS POST.

With food prices still IN the as
cendant, consumers will be glad 70
Gear that the Postoffice Department
mas decided to broaden the scope OF
The farm products post which was
stablished in experimental form last
March. The result of the trial was
% q considerable degree successful,
,lthouah the department found that
he farmer, on getting an oppor-
;unity to do business directly with
The consumer, tried to take the inter-
mediate profits. He wanted not only
lis old profit, but the profits OF the
commission merchant and the grocer,
and expected the city householder to
lay it. Whereas rhe idea Ct the
chcme was to let the farmer take a
title more profit than had been his
nder the old system and still deliv-
y his vegetables, poultry, eggs. and
carry products to the consumer at a
less price than they were to be had
ever the grocery counter.
If the farm products post should
lie widely established of course 1t
would be irpossibls for a farmer to
tal.e undue advantage. Competition
would be lively enough to prevent
such a situation.

POLLS.

There are three people connected with

Plsyers this week who are responsible
for very large share Of the enjoyment
Of the clever Clyde Fitch play. Many
dramattsts simply write things for act
ors and actresses to say. Mr.. Fitch
wrote plays for them to act. That is
why the working out OF a Fitch idea on
the stage calls for as much work on
the part Of the stage director as it does
from the actors themselves. It il for
this reason that Stage Director Harry

the Triple Alliance.
That the Triple Entente seems now
to be working in entire harmony I'm
the war against Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary apparently discounts
the following pessimistic statement
made only july Is last by the London
Graphic:
Perhaps the gravest danger to the
Entente comes from the unhappy
tendencies OF Russian domestic
policy, and it Is all the Graver be-
cause it is one on which foreign rep
resentations cannot easily be made.
These differences create a canker
within the Entente which is far
more deadly than any menace that
can come from the Triple Alliance.
It is recognized today that an al
lance, to be really effective, must
rest not merely on diplomatic agree
mcnt. but also on international SYM
pathy. THIS cannot be claimed for
the Triple Entente so far as the re-
lations OF It's Western members with

Explain the formation and pur-
poses Of the Triple Entente.
The Triple Entente is Of much
later origin that the Triple Alliance,
and owes its beginning in part to the
latter. About 1902 England began to
be disturbed by the growth OF the
German naval power. and adopted a
policy OF seeking in the balance
of power greater security from In,
vasion. AS the first step toward
CARRYING out this policy, she entered
into an agreement with France. In
1894. This was followed In 1857 by a
similar alliance with Russia
In general the aims of the Triple
Entente we're to \Jnaintain the bal
ance of power in Europe by offset oftset-
aIliance of equal and greater po-
tency; strengthening the treaty law
in the interests OF peace ana the
status quo. and disarmament.

Irish-American and the German have
been OF late fraternizing. The former
usually does with Englands enemies.
Let these ranters continue. Great Brit

have ceased to exist. A strange fact Is
that England appears to have more
friends among the nations than her
enemies. William Of Germany has been
the curse Of Europe for a quarter of
century. His hostility to President
Kruger after the Jameson raid showed
his antipathy to England. What would
