BACK TO THE SPOIL SYSTEM
BY executice order President
Harding has put the first, second and
third class post Offices back into pol
itics. Whatever explanation may be
offered, the result proves the pur-
poses. Over 1900 misunderstanding
are converted once more into party
spoils, with negligible restrictions.
Republican patronage-brokers and
job-hunters may now cease COM
planning and look forward to the
distribution of rewards among loyal
party workers in the 1920 campaign.
When he entered the White House
on March President Harding found
in operation the merit system es-
tablished by order of President Will
son in 1917 for the selection OF
postmasters in all first, second and
third class Offices. AFTER barely two
months he has yielded to partisan
persuasion and substituted new
plan of his own that makes a farce
of the merit system. Hereafter

partisan basis. The wide power Of
discretion retained amounts to ar

post Offices.
Just before his retirement Post
master General Burleson furnished
Congress proof Of how the meri
rule under the Wilson order of 1917
had been maintained. From the
time of the issuance of the orde

In another town one day not long

American farmer would forever be
freed of this ruinous competition
and would thereby obtain large
price for his wheat. OF course these
fellows all know that all this was
bunk" which was being put out for
the sole purpose of getting the farm

The mask is now thrown off by
these fellows and they now want the
American millers to have the privi-
lege of ssimporting in bond" and
free of all duty under any tariff law
that may be enacted, all of the Can
adian wheat they want. upon con-
dition only that 1t be ground into

sold in foreign countries.
Now. If there is any merit in the
protective tariff claim with respect
to Canadian wheat, why not use
American wheat exclusively for
making all flour in all American
mills, no matter whether such -four
is for home consumption or for ex-
port to foreign countries?
Just think this over a minute or
two, and you will certainly discover

sum and the United States government
would not allow the shipment of mate

an insistent demand that the commit

Finally the committee began build

Preparing Fruits for Breakfast.

Although the luscious grapefruit Is a
little too acid for some persons, every
body can and should eat freely of some
of the citrus fruits. Probably the most
popular of the citrus fruits Is the
grapefruit. For breakfast it is served IN
simple manner; but for luncheon or
dinner it may be made as elaborate as
desired
Grapefruit may be served either as
the first course or dessert for luncheon
or dinner. When planning to serve It
for either of these courses, says the
Springfield Republican, It may be
served in the special grapefruit holders
designed for the purpose, or the sec
tions may be arranged in glasses. Nari'
Gus flavorings may be added, or gar
niture of cubes of Jelly or maraschlno
cherries NAV be used The manner OF
serving is also shown.
Oranges suggest many possibilities IN
wavs of serving The fruit may be care
fully wiped and served whole. and each
person served as he desires, either cut
ting il in half crosswise and using the
orange spoon, or peeling and separating
the fruit into sections.
Other hostesses prefer serving the
Juice alone or in combination with lem

water Serve in glasses about two
thirds full. The glasses filled with the
Juice are set on small dolly covered
plates, placed in position on the serv-
ice plate before the meal is announced.
To prepare the orange with the skin
turned back in sections, cut length
wise through the skin of the fruit in
eight equal sections, from blossom end
to within one inch of stem end. Then

"Dear sirs: | was more than pleased
with the Washington county hospital.
Your building is most compact and
believe that you will be able to run it
economically with comparatively
small number of employees, and your
nearness to Barre ought to enable you
to keep good help. still further think
that you were wise in putting up a
building that will last for years rath-
er than cheap wooden construction

years.
II am certain that when the build
