What! A Democrat Teach EN-?

Washington, Jan. s.--Kansas con.

roar at a recent order of the postof
tice department.. All new postnas
tiers. under this order, should go 10
sume city postofflcc and take a
week instruction in how to run their
jobs before taking hold of their OIL
fees.
The Topeka postoffice, now being
administered by perfectly good
Democrat. happens to be the office
designated as the training school for
Kansas.
We'll be gosh hanged if we can
see why good Kansas Republican,
should have to take lessons from 4
Democrat on how to rum a postof-

nant Kansas congressman. And they
have let that opinion be knownssto

emphatic way.

restrictions on use OF lighter-th air
craft might be worth attempting.
A future worldwide confclel.te for
! consideration of the rules of Aar also
has been suggested and sentiment
among the delegates seems to fav IT
it. Italy, however, hopes to see tn,
present negotiations develop some
agreement against bombarding of TIL
fortified cities.
so far have the armament discus
slons proceeded that some dclegl-
tlons are looking forward to a ple.,-
airy session of the conference b.
Wednesday or Thursday OF next
week TO publish to the world the
completed limitation treaty and to re-
cord the further steps that have been
taken in regard to the far East.
The general belief is that, with the
armament negotiations ended, the far
eastern side of the conference could
be wound up in another week or ten
days. That would seem to forecast
final adjournment about two weeks
or SO hence, but not SO soon as some
OF the delegates had expected Prince
Iokugawa of the Japanese delega-
tIU11. r1rried out his original pfa11s
and left for Japan today, but it was
indicated that Mr.. Balfour was con-
sidcrng cancelling his steamship
reservations for next Saturday.
If a plenary session is called for
next week. it is not unlikely that
among other things it will see an
nouncement OF definite agreement
for Qualification of the 4-power Pa
cific treaty so as to make it inappl-
cable to the major islands of the jap
anese empire. Negotiations for such
formal agreement either through a
reservation or by an exchange of
notes are understood to have been
virtually completed.

when a Teller Needs a Friend"

The general restriction of credit il
the course of the past two years
made the average American Zee
acutely the iron grip that underies
the friendly handclasp in the routine
of business. And there have beer
many to whom that stern, unyieldina
pressure has meant anguish. and
worse.
In the dry goods and department
store business, however, those houses
that made it their practice to permit
charge accounts refraincd from dis
continuing them. The woman whose
husband might be appealing to banks
and business friends for extension OF
time, could still procure from her
favorite store the merchandise she
required, although the store was as
we'll ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS better in
fotmed-as to her husbands financial
condition than were the friends who
refused him. The feeling of univer-
sal distrust which was acute some
months ago had only small re lection
in the credit departments of those
stores that adhered to the charge &C
count plan. Barring specific indi-
cations that an account would not be
settled, Madame's credit was good
then. as before.
There is, of course, a plain, hard.
common sense business side to the
magnanimity. Retailers, with prices
falling and overhead expense to clear
that is but little dimin :shed. fan iy
admitted they needed all the sales
they could obtain. But so, too, did
everyone else The radical difference
lay in that department stores, spe-
cialty shops and dry goods houses
simply stuck by their patrons, wheth-
or other concerns did so or not.
The demand Tor charge accounts is
reported now to be increasing. Plen-
ty of pessimists arc to be found who
will aver that it is due to growing
exhaustion of available funds. But
the more well informed among store
credit men have no such misgivings.
They confess frankly to the expec-
tation o.; slow collections until the
first of the year. but they discern a
cause that is totally different and dis
tinctly encouraging.
To these watchers on the hilltops
the outstanding fcatupe of the BUSH
ness horizon is the increase in pur-
chase and the steady rise in price of
bonds and other intcrest-bearing Sc
curities. They look to January and
February, when interests fall due.

ANSWER: Yearly reports involve

80, 1921, have been made every year.
These reports have seldom if ever cen
made complete by the time required

paid Icy cash in each district are only

So, | have ordinarily used the list Of

regation OF the expenses in each dis
trict such as labor. team hire, 'lum-
Der, shells feed and other items
and ordinarily when presented the
Commissioners have given it only suf-
hcient attention TO get an idea what
the various items cost for their dis
trict during the previous year. So
that the principal teneft from these
reports was the information that al
lowed me to keep a check on the cost
of various items in comparison with
The same items in the previous years
in any district. / admit that in many
cases these reports have not been
filed before the 18th day OF July for
the year ending the Both day of the
preceding juno, but deny that there
was any wilful neglect of duty in
volved; since the Commissioners
themselves were asking for various
things to be done as soon as posi-
bic, at the time | should have been
at work on this report, and | could
not do both, so | did what seemed
