The $4,000 employees of the federal
government are the very protectors
of our lives and the guardians of our
property" the speaker asserted, yet,
with the recent exception of postmas-
terS, they are certified for service
without regard to their character or
moral record
The quality of these federal en-
ployes, he added, absolutely deter
mines the quality of our government"
Although the postal service was rapid

dreds of thousands worth of mail is
stolen annually and many believe that
much may be laid at the doors of the
employees themselves.
Says System Crippled
Although the commission in his op-
lnion had built up an extremely cred
liable organization considering the
limitation Of finances" Mr.. Bartlett
asserted it was laboring under the
serious evil of having about one half
of our employees borrowed from other
departments" adding that it would
readily be seen how this cripples our
control and belittles our identity and
authority"

the departments with the best labor, -

thority that they keep always within
the law, the rules and the spirit of

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 16-Farming
conditions generally are favorable in
Indiana at this time, according to the
semi-monthly report of George c. Bry,
ant, agricultural statistician to the

ture, announced today. The report
follows:
Temperatures for the period we're
somewhat higher than normal with
plenty of precipitation for best re-
suits of fall seeded crops. Some
plowing for spring planting is being
done.
Corn husking is considerably over
half completed. The ear worm and
farmers in some sections are burning
as corn but makes splendid fuel. But
little new corn is being sold.
Good rains and warm weather have
put the wheat in splendid condition to
enter the winter. A few scattered re
ports of Hessian fly damage havve
been received
Hye average increases
Rye is in splendid condition. Acre
age has been greatly increased in
many counties.
The few potatoes that are going to
market are bringing a good price
Only a few counties have a surplus
this year.
Young clover and alfalfa are look
ing excellent and stand is very good
Tobacco sales will start about the
last of the month. Fairly good prices
are looked for
The cholera epidemic among hogs
has been checked practically in all To-
calities. Other live stock in good con
dition
Plenty of corn huskers are availab Bile
but not many are being hired. Farm.

selves in order to get as much as DOS
sible out of the crop. The price is
running from 25 cents to 35 cents for
