If Kings could keep their royal shirts
On long enough to think it out,
They'd cease to do US such great hurts
As chasing ones own kind about.
They'd simply meet, as wise men must
And say, "Now, what's the use to
fight?
We pound the planet into dusi,
And time repairs it in a night.
We leave no more impress upon
The things that finally prevail
Than if we had not come and gone
And scattered ruin on our trail.
The self-same earth comes back as
green
As ever grass grew in glen,
And 10, there wanders on tn Gene
The very self-same kind OF men.
May day was originally celebrated
by ancient apartment house owners as
the day on which they ceased to be
responsible under their contracts for
heating the buildings. They usually
had a parade, and there were athletic
contests for janitors. The idea that
janitors might be athletic was typical
of both Greek and Assyrian humor,
which was very subtle. There will be
new arrangement of the planets dur
ing the month. Jupiter and Venus.
which are both very brilliant, will act
together as evening stars and see if
they can keep the Carranzistas in line,
while Mercury, Mars and Saturn,
oftentimes an effective combination,
will be morning stars, having as their
chief object the task Of keeping con-
gress behind the President No
eclipse has been planned for the month
and it is not thought that any will
be necessary. The moon will be full
on the 18th. Villa will be at perihelion
with our army on the goth, when we

There is more complaint and fault
finding with the postofiice department
under this administration than ever
before" said Pennsylvania represen-
tative in Congress to a little group of
members on the floor. Not only in
the rural delivery but in all branches
of the service, including city delivery,
there has been a curtailment and de-
rangement Of the service which has
caused dissatisfaction and criticism.
The present postoffice department has
been impregnated with a desire to
save money In this effort the good
Of the servivce has been Of little mo-
ment to the officials and as result
a false economy has prevailed at the
expense of the service. The people
Of this country want efficiency in the
handling Of the mail. They are not
in favor Of taking a step backward
to save few dollars. Not only farm
ers, but many other people all over
the country will give their support to
the republican party this fall on ac-
count Of the unprogressive policy of
the present pOstofiice management"
