INADEQUATE SALARIES.

Most cities and villages having post |
office clerks are suffering inadequate
postal service because the postal en-
ploves are not properly paid. Many of
the older and more efficient employees
have resigned because the old time sal
airy is not sufficient to pay the neces
sites of life Mt present high prices and
qualified applicants are not accepting
appointments to the service for the
same reason. Being able to secure much
better compensation elsewhere they sim
ment employ.
Speedy relief is needed but is not in
sight 4 congressional committee is in
vestigating the whole question of postal
salaries but has made no report as yet.
The only hopeful feature is the pre-
diction of a member of this committee
that its report will he filed before con
grcss takes & recess in June but at that ne
| action by congress is expected before
!
East junkets by the members of con
gress. The work of getting the neces
sary legislation enacted will be slow ant
meantime many towns and cities viii
have lost their best men and the posta
service will he further deteriorated
There is Il hint that increases, whel
they do cone will be made effective
as of July !, 1920, but if the poor EN-
rloyes have to wait until midwinter O
later to have the increases voted the,
will give little relief for the high prices
Of the present.
There are other things needing remedy
but congressman are too busy seeking
re-electons to give them attention
Meanwhile there is little attraction t,
a postal service that is given such SLOW
and unsatisfactory treatment.

World May Go Hungry.

At no time during the war was the
world confronted with more grave food
problems than it is right now. From
all sides comes the same complaint
from the farms. No help and none to
be obtained. New England in partic
ular has gone industriallv mad. Manu-
facturers are paying fabulous wages
and still bidding for each others en-
ployes. Farms and other lines of en-
deavor are being drained to furnish
help for the factories. Farmers can
not compete in wages and hours and
will not try They will raise what they
and their families need to live on and
then what they can besides which in
many instances will not be much. A
farmer was heard the other day tell
ing a bunch of village fellows who want
to work onlY six or eight hours them
selves at constantly increasing wages
yet want the farmers to provide then
cheaper living, where they get off The
farmer said all the farm help in his
section had been hired away As fol

villagers could live on the onions al
would go well. Greatly decreased pro
