IRON making reference to the sermon he
had heard h church Sunday morning,
The minister had stated that God was
trying to make better world through
the help Of man, farm world and farmers
included. Tom was rather slow to con-
cede the idea that God had anything to do
with the matter Of improving the lot Of
tho farmer. He had been told that God
was not 80 much concerned about this
world, but was more concerned about
saving souls for the next world. Tim
agreed that God was concerned about
saving souls, but souls were to be saved
for some purpose In this world.
Tom was not quite willing to argue
against the power Of God in making his
tory, for he, too, had felt from time to time
there was something bigger than the mind
OF man. After all was said and done it
was true that history had shaped itself
in rather orderly way. He was I'm
pressed by the fact that from time to time.
as the world passed through great changes.
the good did triumph over the bad. The
fact that the Farmers were to Be happier
and better satisfied thru this new move
ment, was another bit o evidence in the
same direction. They were told at the
meeting that the secret Of the Farm
Bureau was cooperation. Jim saw moth
ing in cooperation but the ideal of living
and helping others to live" and that
seemed to him was the very essence of
Gods ideal 6i humanity.
As they pulled out Of the horse shed.
Jim and Tom promised to see one another
again at the big Farm Bureau organiza-
ton meeting in the town hall next Satur-
day night.

Do We Need More Chevrons?

G ECRETARY WEEKS is alarmed over the
- necessity of reducing the number of
in the army. He will plead with Congress,
he says to provide of paying more of these
men-sometimes described as "the backbone Of the
service" We believe in everything which will
tend to improve the efficiency of the military-but
in this respect incline to the opinion that there
important matters worry about than
the number of fellows with chevrons their arms.
In fact, dsgruntled veterans of the late
have insinuated that of the best ways to
improve the morale of the army would be actually
to reduce the number of bosses" foreman for
every seven would drive construction
company into bankruptcy. The average industrial
firm functions with boss for every thirty forty
men.
We reason why a private cannot "hold
the pivot" just we'll corporal We see no
reason why there should be twenty men in
every company free from the disagreeable duties of
military scrvice-such washing pots watering
horses We see no why there should be
this number of chaps with the privilege of being
disagreeable to their fellows with official sanction.
The remedy, it to us, is to place upon the
private some of the work which now is entrusted
to noncoms. In most the man without
chevrons will be just as efficient.
Why not have an army with few noncoms and
make these positions entirely rewards of merit?
1t would reduce some of the bitterness that breaks
out at times in the best disciplined regiments
bitterness the caste system which, according to
privates, exists in the American service.
We ourselves have known Of instances where
two would be detailed to dig a hole-a cor
poral and a private The duty of the private of
course, would be to dig. The duty of the corporal
of course would be to show the private how to
dig, interfere with him much possible in the
digging, and make the task as disagreeable as
possible. OF course that is the military way of
digging hole and the who dug hole in any
other way would be traitor to his country, an
enemy ss~. a secret agent of the Boshevists,
liar, thief, a scoundrel and a murderer Any
with the temerity to suggest that the chief
objective to get the hole dug should be shot
at sunrse-for the line of reasoning started from
such premise would call for the elimination Of
the corporal The private, it is hardly necessary to
say, could dig the hole in quarter of the time
il the corporal wasn't around to bother him.
Under the present military system, which hasn't
been changed great deal since the days of JULIUS
Caesar, more noncoms ire necessary, we presume.
But why don't the military authorities devote a
little thought to rcarranging matters that the
boys with chevrons not necessary-and
reserve their protests to Congress for more vital
matters.

Women In. Service.

10 the Editor, The waahinston Herald:
Much complaint has been made of
late, against married women and
girls OF well-to-do parents In the
employ Of the government TO the ef-
feet that they should be discharged
to make room for people in needy
circumstances. These people max
ing such complaints have a mis-
taken idea Of government employ
ment. They seem to think II 10 the
duty of the government to give
preference to those most In need Of
work. They should understand that
the government is not an institution
devoted to charity, but a big busi-
ness concern demanding capable,
honest employees to carry Il on.
Unfortunately many Senators and
Representatives have too often In
the past used their influence In Sc
curing positions in the government
to reward some of their constitu-
ents, regardless Of their fitness.
For that reason the Civil Service
Commission was established to do
away with the "spoils system" and
select the most meritorious and
capable for rlling government po-
sitions.
So we fnd II Is not a question OF
the government employing those
most in need. but, on the contrary
the most efficient. regardless Of the
financial condition of the employe,
whether married or single.
The government standard In filling
government positionA though It may
sometimes be abused, Is merit and
capacity.
