Foulke. the leader IN the fight of the

der classified service laws. President
Hadley Of Yale, presided at the meet

Mr.. Hadley and on the other. Mr..
Burleson would not speak to me after

Outline Of Address
In his answer, Mr.. Foulke followed
the thread of Mr. Burleson's speech
and mentioned Congressman Gray Of
the Sixth Indiana district as peanut
peddler of petty patronage, related in
stances of when the postmaster gen.
eral had consulted congressman not
only regarding the residence, but the
fitness and eligibility Of fourth class
postmasters for appointment, and re-
viewed President Wilson's failure to
his promised adherence to the civil
service leagues program.
when the postmaster general says
the congressman we're only consulted
as to the character and residence Of
applicants for appointments under the
civil service law, he forgets that on
Nov. Z, 1913, his Office issued this or
der to fourth class post Offices, in
which the character and fitness of
eligibles will be considered. Con-
gress men well believe this fitness to
mean political qualifications or avail
ability. Congressman have so inter-
preted 1t. They have named bench
men and helpers In next elections.
There is only one conclusion to draw

sumed in this country. Our people
nave come to be very extravagant in
the use of matches. A decade ago a
pipe smoker might keep his pipe go

pipe lighter; today he wouldn't thiuk

also has increased the consumption
Of matches, as have gas and gasoline
stoves, which are continually turned
off and relighted.
There has been an increased manu-
facture of patent lighters and new

attached, and these have helped to cut
the sale of matches, but only to q

II Matching eggs are carefully

ion Of excelsior in the bottom they will
carry great distances and give good
results. 1t must not be expected, how
ever, that they will give as large a
percentage of hatch as might be the

weak one. For that reason they should
be well packed In excelsior. Excel
sior is to be preferred to any other ma

baskets are better than boxes, for the
reason that being more convenient to
handle, railroad employees are nat
urally more careful with them.

CFrom the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
To meet the demands OF thousands
Of southern girls who have been sue
cessful in raising a tenth-acre OF to-
matoes, and who want to "go on" the
representatives of the department and
the state colleges in charge of the can
ming clubs in the Is southern states
have worked out what might be called
progressive. four-year practical gar
den and canning course for girls. The
purpose OF this course Is to start the
girls with one crop and from year to
year add new annual crops, encourage
them to run winter and glass-frame
gardens. and. finally, in the course Of
their work to lead them to plant peren-
NAL small and orchard fruits. 1t is
hoped that under this system the girls
will gain knowledge Of how to handle
a wide variety of garden vegetables
and trees, and that the member, by
the time she gets ready to go to high
school or college, will have a garden
of perennial fruits that readily can be
cared for by other members of her
family.
The first year of girls club work
throughout the southern states con-
sists in raising tomatoes in tenth-acre
gardens. 1t is believed by those in
charge that every girl should first
master this plant and learn how to
utilize or sell its products before she
takes up other vegetables and fruits.
In sections where tomatoes suffer from
blight and wilt, however. it Is some
times necessary to substitute another
garden crop.
The second-year girls continue to
grow tomatoes on one-half of their
garden space and devote the other
half of the space to one other crop.
preferably beans, peas, peppers, okra,
beets or onions. The girls also are
encouraged to start winter gardens In
