KNOWS THE JOB

Due to the fact that the majority of postmasterships come through presidential appointment, a number of good democrats will undoubtedly lose their jobs during the next two years. Commenting on the Water bury postmastership, the Waterbury American prints the following:
 Taking the successor of Post master O'Brien of Waterbury as a text, MT. Glynn, in an interview in the American, declared that first there was little likelihood of a change; second, that, if he did make an appointment, he would be com pelled to ignore politics and pick a man best fitted for the place; third, that the postoffice is now banking institution as well as a mail bureau :; hence, that man of ability is needed for it's management and not a politi- clan. This is the true gospel of the merit system, preached not by some idealist or high brow, but by Con- gressman Glynn, whom we all know as a practical man of affairs. Also, Congressman Glynn, having been a postmaster in his day, knows the job. He seems not to have known that under the presidents order, which covers such cases as MT. O'Brien's, successor is appointed either by a competition of records or by promotion and not in the old fashioned way, selection by a con- gressman of the politician who will be of the most use to him. Tn Bos- ton there were seven or eight men competing for the vacant postmas- tership. The man who had the best record was republican and he was nominated by the president and con- firmed by the senate. All this is simply business applied to public office. So wet hope sincerely Con- gressman Glynn is right that Mir. Harding is going to make a business administration and not a political administration"

 A novel ceremony was performed at the funeral of the late MT. Willi- am Selby Lowndes, who for twenty five years was master of the Whad- don Chase Hunt. During the service twenty-one couples of the original pack of hounds stood at the church yard gate, and when the casket con taining their late masters ashes had been lowered into their resting place the dogs filed past the flower lined grave.-London Chronicle.
 The deer hunting season in this state closed with only one fatality due to a man being shot in mistake for deer. Last year there were nine deaths. In 1920 only buck deer were permitted to be shot; in 1919 bucks and does could be legally shot. This year the hunter had to look for the horns, Frederic Remington once re- marked ''I wouldn't go deer hunting in the Adirondacks unless I was sur rounded by brass band" This was said when one could shoot either bucks or does in the north woods. The reenactment of the buck law at the last open season can be thanked for the low mortality this year, New York Herald.

Frank B. Willis, Ohio's successor to Warren 0. Harding in the United States senate, qualified as Washing- tons champion speller during his term in the house. The National Press club staged an old-fashioned spelling bee at the Willard hotel, with the na- tion's famous statesmen and rising young journalists as contenders for first honors. Senator Miles Poindex- ter of Washington. then, like Willis, 6 member of the house, stood to the end, groggy but dogged. "Ogee" was the word on which he finally went down. He thought 1t meant something like touch" and he couldn't define 1t nor spell 1t. Willis years at Ada had taught him much, among other things how to spell "ogee." He bowled Pesodexter out and stood alone.-Gus !. Karger in the Cincinnati Times Star.

LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent of the spanI.nAa the System Was In Vogue Among
 the Aborlainea

Irrigation began in Texas many years before the lands embraces within Its boundaries became part of the United States, years berors those same lands mnde up what wnm known as the Lone Star republic writes James R. Freddy In the Amer4- can Forestry Magazine.
 To bring the time down to d mora tangible date. the first irrigation wor6 was done-according to tradition when the Pueblo Indians constructed the peculiar ditches about El Paso and the Pecos country, which author tiles of today claim were built for irri- gatlon purposes. Another tradition coming out of the past tells that thesa ditches were built by the. Yuma In- dians when they were driven west ward by the Comanches and ApachcA. and not by the Pueblos.
 When Coronado, the rowing ex- plorer, opened this country to tnsa Spaniards he found well-worked irr4- gation systems among the Indlnnss this was In 1540 when he was pushing toward the north. The practice o< irrigation was continued under tho Franciscan fathers, who constructed the five mission ditches that wcrm found near the present city of San Antonio. Even under Mexican ruas the work did not stop, and grants ng the Mexican government often rea@ as follows: .. .......s

MT. Editor,


 That little peice put in your paper last week by "H.H." agrees with my political sentiments exactly. The queer things that some of our folks do in '''Town Meetings" make me feel real bad. .t..,.'
 Now as the women are on a level with the rest of the voters, I hope they will show local patriotism by trying to keep part of the wool on the back of the Lamb, it will be useful this cold weather. ..,

 past Is chamber of discOntent. Let therefore the old year bury from sight its story of sin and sorrow md failure. Let there be sincere repent ance for the follies of the past, and then let new man step forth to meet with hope and determination the glad New Year which God desires shall be blessed year for every child of earth. When God forgives, He for gives utterly. He casts mans sins into the depths of the sea-" Why then should memory thrust its hooked pole into the sea to dredge the bot tom and bring up by the locks some pale memory which God has plunged into the ocean of forgetfulness? Mans life Is not in the past, but in the days to come, for our times are in His hand.
 And how many of us are waiting for the opportunities of the coming year? With how many of us Is it the unuttered hope that tomorrow may be free from the sins and the mis- takes of yesterday? I pray God that for you 1t may be so. Your times are in His hand, and let your Father shape the new year for you; let Him rule it, and strive with the help of the Spirit to walk the way of His commandments. Forgetting the things that are behind, let us press on for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus"
 The passing year also must remind us that there will come a last year for each one of us. Perhaps this coming year is your last. Are you therefore ready to see the curtain rise upon eternity? Are you now ready to hear the midnight cry, and to enter into the marriage supper of the Kings Son? Our times are in Gods hand, and no man knoweth what day or hour he may be called from his labor. Though we live to be counted among the oldest inhabitants We must depart at last Others have gone before us and are going every day, and yet we seem so eager to forget our own nor tality. Nay, let us rather look for ward with anticipation, believing that God will then give us a New Year which shall be without sin and tears and sorrow and pain, where love shall rule, and where happiness shall be complete In the fullest service to our God
 The New Year bells will soon be ringing. Do not fail to make some personal preparations for its coming. Make resolutions for the future on the basis of your experience of the past Every heart knows its own needs, and its own weaknesses. Be not discouraged by past failures, but pray to God earnestly to help to fu- ture successes. Take this New Year as holy gift from gracious Father and begin to live 1t carefully and prayerfully. Do not strive to carry the burdens of future months, but live each day as if it were the last and the best. In spite of all the ills which we see in the world today, let us be- lieve that the New Year will be blessed year to all mankind, and let each one of us do our uttermost, to make 1t so. May God look upon us all in mercy. and may He let this New Year
 Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
 Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
 Ring out the thousand wars of old.
 Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Fo;e q .A.yycrtiaing Representative TIT EarfERH-AI PRESS ASSOCIATION
The Cordova daily times., 1920-10-22

According to the office of de- partment of justice in Juneau, the recent dispatch from Seattle stating that additional agents would be placed in Alaska is erroneous. No such thing as secret service has been inaugurated in Alaska, and the department of justice has nothing whatever to do with secret service. If the dispatch was meant to refer to alleged lack of prohibition en- forcement, it was matter within the Jurisdiction of the Volstead act, and not one connected with the department of justice. Some months ago department of justice agents were stationed at Fairbanks, Valdez and Juneau. Since then no intima- tion of additional men has been re- ceived by the Juneau department.
