STIMULATING THRIFT.

Extensive have been the operations of the Christmas savings clubs since such a plan was inaugurated, because of the sensible appeal which the idea made to the many who became ac- duainted herewith. And this is the period of the year when the benefit is being felt just when there is a drain upon the resources for which it was intended to extend relief.
 Holiday expenditures always seem far more excessive when the spend . ing all comes within a brief period, or the bills contracted pour in at the opening of the following month, than by the systematic method of putting aside a little at a time during the year for-the establishment of a fund whereby such anticipated holiday ex- penses can be met. It is a wise pro- vision for guarding against any tightness in the family money chest when 1t is needed and needed badly Likewise it Is a scheme which the merchant can approve for there is nothing like ready cash when 1t comes 10 doing business.
 There is also another benefit con- nected with the operation of tht Christmas savings club which ought and probably will not pass unnoticed The valuable lessons of saving for the holiday expenditures Is just as appli. cable to a general savings account If the idea will stimulate greater thrift in addition to it's other advan. tages it should be easily applied tC building un a permanent bank accoun against a time of need. It is a habi worth forming.

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
 WORK.

While in his annual report Secre~ tary Houston of the department of agriculture refers to the progress in that important national industry, it is a fact that it does not exist through all it's branches. There are largo in- creases in certain staples but this is not general. Corn for instance has shown no appreciabIe advancement in the,s past fifteen years and for five years or more there has been e fall ing off in the meat supply.
 Despite the increase in the popula- ton and therefore a greater demand hogs has steadily declined. Attention appears to have been turned in other directions regardless of the opportu- nifty which has been created in sup plying this demand. It isn't due to the growth of certain sections for as the secretary points out. '"The situa- tion exists not in 8. crowded coun- try, but in one which is still in a measure being pioneered: in one which with 935. .0o0,000 acres of arabic land, has only 400.00o.0o0 or 40 per cent. under cultivation; and in one in which the population per squared mile does not exceed 31 and ranges from or in Nevada to sos in Rhode Island
 Tn estimating that by 1923 the gov ernnent will be spending $10,000,000 annually for agricultural instruction in an endeavor to better conditions, Secretary Houston says of the farm adviser work such as is being carried on by the New London County Im- provement league "the method of dem- onstration by competent individuals has been justified by it's results and has been formally sanctioned by con gress in the recent agricultural ex- tention act. This is one of the most striking agricultural measures ever adopted by any government"
 There can be no question but what it is Q service of inestimable value and should be properly received.

TO END PLuckINe BOARD.

For the purpose of improving exist ing conditions and eliminating some of the present methods the new per- sonheI law concerning the navy is to be presented to congress. The ques- ton of promotion is one which has occasioned dissatisfaction for long time. Whether it can ever be made so perfect as to satisfy everyone, is seriously doubted, but whatever tends to an improvement and to greater fairness is at least. worthy of care full consideration.
 One Of the provisions of the new law is the abolition of the so-called 'plucking board,'' the committed which designates those officials who are to go upon the retired list in order to permit regularity in promotions. How this has operated to the loss of off, cers of. the greatest efficiency to the active service Of the department is .
 matter of recent record. 5- ' Either the selection of mem for9p pro. motion or to go on the retired lfsi may always be subject to differences of opinion, but service rendered and qualifications should get fair consid- eration and such is provided for un- der the plan advocated.

A NEEDED REFORM

When attention is directed by the secretary of labor to conditions exist Ing in some of the western states he undoubtedly puts his finger upon the cause for much of the trouble and un- rest and discloses the reason for the difficulty experienced in checking up- isings and maintaining law and or Ter.
 Slack naturalization laws is the way 1l which he refers to the great handi- sap of such states and when it is realized that some states permit aliens b vote for the members of the legis- Rture, presidential electors, United States senators and representatives, t can be readily understood that full Advantage is doubtless taken of such Inducements. Such aliens must have 1een in the country two years and lave indicated their intentions of be- Ioming citizens, but that is as far Ls many of them get, for getting such privileges as they do under those conditions there is slight incentive foz Iotng more.
