Such is far from the thoughts Of
Canadian army men. They have a
wholesome respect for the United
states Army and especially It's officers,
and believe they could benefit them
selves as much as they could their
neighbor by cooperation. This IS

(Mrs. G. C.Moses, Roanoke Co. Va.)
Our plan for raising early toma-
toes is simple and successful We
set the plants as early as the
ground can be worked, selecting a
site on the south side Of hill. The
plants are about 10 inches high,
and we put beside each branch OF
thick cedar 10 or IL inches high
Cedar is frostproof, shades the
plant, and prevents the wind twist
ing the stem off.
Light frosts do no injury TO plants
protected in this way. Sometimes
we plant beans very early, and pro-
tect them in the same way, After
the plants are well get and danger
Of frost past, remove the drid cedar
branches and tie plants to stakes.

How This Man Lost All Of His
Friends.

He was always woucding their
feelings, making sarcastic or funny
remarks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner-cranky, gloomy pessimis-
tic.
He was suspicious Of everybody
He never threw the doors Of his
heart open to people, nor took them
into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive
assistance from them, but always
too busy or too stingy to assist them
in their time Of need.
He regarded friendship as lux
ury lobe enjoyed instead Of an OPP
portuity for service.
He never learned that implicit,
generous trust IS the very fouIda-
ton stone Of friendship.
He never thought it worth while
to spend time in keeping up his
friendship.
he did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone,
that there must be service to nourish
it.
He did not know the value Of
thoughtfulness IN little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He was not loyal to them
He never hesitated to sacrifice
their reputation for his advance
ment.
He measured them BY their ability
10 advance him. Success Magazine.

How Good Seed Pays

The farmers are getting in the habit
Of planting improved seeds A few
years ago many Of our farmers
thought there was little difference
in seed provided it would sprout,
but now you find nearly every
farmer looking for some highly inn
proved and highly recommended
seed. They lave found out thpt II
pays to invest a little money and
get the best seed possible for plant
ing purposes. Besides it is cheaper
to buy your seed corn, cotton and
other farm seeds where it is neces-
sary to select carefully. II corn IS
worth one dollar per bushel and a
good seed corn variety already sort
ed and carefully selected seed can
be bought for two dollars, it will
be about as cheap to pay the diff
ference as it is to go through the
crib looking for satisfactory ears.

Postmaster General Burleson, the
man who has more power than the
president Of the United States, has
announced that beginning April /,
all first, second and third class post
masters will be subjected to a COM
petitiye examination before appoint
ment.
Mr.. Burleson has done some very
peculiar things during his admins
tration but in our opinion this IL
Ne the greatest blunder he has yet
made if such action is taken upon
his initiative. Regardless Of the
origin Of the plan, it will surely
prove big mistake, and the
order Of the almighty postmaster
general will BE- revoked as suddenly
as it was made.
What are the qualifications Of a
postmaster?
If there are any qualifications
other than a common school eduea-
ton that can be determined by COM
petitive examination we should like
for the Postmaster General in his
wisdom and power to tell the public
what they are.
The truth Of the matter is that the
best way to get the poorest postmas-
ter would be to apply strictly the
competitive plan examination and
give the Office to the man receiving
the highest grade. Nine times out
Of ten the man passing the best
technical, we say technical because
these are the only kind Of examina-
tions that the government has ever
known, examination will make the
poorest postmaster Take for in
stance the examinations that are
given under government civil SER
vice for stenographers, the person
being able to tell the length of the
Amazon river and the cities located
on same is apt 10 rank ahead Of the
person who can take by dictation
and transcribo upon paper with
greatest speed a letter containing
200 words. And as a result of these
competitive examinations it is a
standing joke in Washington that
the poorest stenographers ale civil
service stenographers.
Under the present system of
pOstmasters the president is
influenced almost entirely by the
member of Congress recommending
The appointment, and iftheappoint-
ment il a bad one the member Of
Congress has it to answer for with
his constituents. thus almost insur-
ing good recommendation BY the
congressman or senator Any IN
.ellipent man with a level head is
better qualified to select a man who
viii make a good postmaster than a
bunch Of book men holding a COM
examination.
