LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO BE
 PARAMOUNT.

Aspiring Democrats, ambitious to succeed outgoing Republicans in public office or in the Vernaclar share in the distribution of patronage from the 'pie counter" will do well to give due weight to the words of National Chairman James J. Farley, who has just opened headquarters in the National capital to begin patronage consideration. By way of sparng himself wasted time and effort and possible embarrassment to applicants for jobs MT. Farley has given notice that the first essential of all aspirants for Federal appointments is the seal of approval of the various local organizations That is to say if John Doe seeks to be appointed to Federal judgeship in Ohio he will find no welcome sign on the National Chairmans doormat unless he presents with his application the endorsement of the Ohio Democratic organization. So, too, in the case of aspirants for Alaskan positions.
 There may be who will criticise this position of MT Farley, but they will not be Organization Democrats Party who consistent and not mere weather vanes that indicate the direction of political breezes are the first to understand and appreciate this requirement. National political par ties do not like Topsy just grow" They are com posed of the thousands of local organizations throughout the country They must continue to exist even though nationally the party is deprived of power They must function at all times, other wise the party nationally, will die. To deprive them of the privilege of selecting the local appontve government officers is to destroy them. And they thrive and increase in vgor and effectiveness upon full recognition of their right to direct the allotment of patronage.
 Chairman Farley too, is busy man. He hasn't the time, he inclined to hear the plea of every aspirant for office. And to consider the hundreds of thousands of applicants state their desires would keep efficient worker as he fully occupied for the entire term for which MT. Roosevelt has been elected By limiting his consid eration to those who have the endorsement of the local organizations he greatly mnimizes his task, which will be Herculean under the most favorable circumstances He himself much valuable time and almost endless grief, and at the same time he strengthens his party's national organiza- tion by making it's individual units more energetic and aggressive.
 Mere local endorsement of course is not all that is required Candidates supported by local organiza tions must be capable well qualified in every respect for the positions for which they are endorsed. The Alaska Democratic organization, in selecting it's candidates, has undoubtedly been guided by this and it's slate is of caliber that Chairman Farley can have no hesitancy in accepting and endorsing.

REORGANIZATION OF BUREAUS.

Governmental reorganization at Washington has long been too largely matter of pious wishes and incentations and too little matter of drastic and decisive action Congress has proposed, the execu- tive discussed, but in the end no changes were made unless it to add to the already top-heavy structure. At the tail end of his Administration President Hoover showed lively interest and recent ly submitted vigorous and sharply worded message to Congress on the subject. But this natural under the circumstances sdetracked that the new Administration might begin anew the task of reorganization No other course was to have been expected since it is but few weeks before MT Hoover will retire to the status of private citizen It is plain that Congress, itself cannot undertake reorganization Congressional action is too unweldly and slow. But it is equally plain that executive action has little more chance of succeeding. Con- gress has indicated clearly at various times that it will not, perhaps it not, delegate so large an authority what is properly legislative func- tion
 Perhaps a solution can be found in the plan embodied in rider to the Post Office Treasury bill sponsored by Senator M. M. Logan of Ken lucky. This would form committee composed of the President, Director of the Budget Comptroller General, the Speaker of the House and the Senate leader empowered to make needed changes in the administrative organization in the interests of eff ciency and economy, subject to approval by Con- gress.
 This proposal has one merit which is especially noteworthy. The committee to be set up woult include both the technically best qualified tt plan and execute reorganization and also those who possess effective political power to insure adop ton of any scheme once it is completed The com mittee would be virtually a steering committee for the administrative side of government So ia

 Dear Barbara, in my ignorance and general officiousness I had a couple of rooms fitted up for Mark the sight of which will, I fear, treduce him to frenzy. Will you come up and put them right? Far rell Armitage."
 That was all She felt illogi- cally disappointed that he had found no more to say. She did not for one moment consider the possibility of doing what he asked. To work for Farrell under Mark $ sneering smile would be intoler- able.
 Besides, if she did go to Lon- don, there would be Miss Raoul's commission first. .. She found that she had passed the garage where she must order a car to convey the Lodely luggage to Tox- eter. She had to retrace her steps end order it. It was to come in two hours.
 Two hours gave her only just long enough, but as she let her. self into Kings Barn, she was glad that she would have no time to waste.
 She put on an old smock of Judy's and dragged the trunks l from their dusty corners. She tack led Marks room first, but he had left very little behind him. When things were in place, she said goodbye. to the room and went across to Judy's. Here there was more to do. Bar l.bara, who had known her so long, was appalled, at the litter. Old

 "Twuzz Monday that come, ' 9ouchsafed Mrs Ridd suddenly. Monday, so 'twuzz."
 You should have sent it on" sighed Barbara, pushing it into her pocket. You did promise to forward letters, didn't you?"
 In the course of the next few minutes it became evident that the time to sort, pack and remove Mrs. Lodely's possessions to Toxe- ter would be that very evening. Kesignedly Barbara faced it. She gave Mrs. Ridd instructions to clean the house on the following day and to keep the keys until called for. Then she herself went on to tackle her share Of the bother.
 As she turned in the direction of Kings Barn she found that she still held the second letter un- orened in her hand She stopped under a street lamp and scrutin- ized it. A square envelope, ex- pensively heavy and plain-she started and thrust it into the oth- e: pocket.
 It was, of course, from Farrell Armitage. Well, he must wait he must wait until she had &C., complished this urgent service for Judy and Mark.
 There was another street lamp just ahead. She walked past it, 8djuring herself not to stop, not to read the letter Farrell had sent her. She was not curious to know

A Presidential "We. !"
(New York World Telegram.

NNeW
 Already as a prospective First Lady of the Lano' Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt speechmaker extra ordinary, has become remarkable phenomenon in American feminism.
 Generally her speeches pursue the even tenor Iof their way and when you think of them the words which she spoke seem to merge into her personality and into the image of her now made familiar in the recurrently published photographs of her Until her Chicago speech of Saturday the one outstand- ling utterance which first comes to mind was her avice that the average girl of today faces the prob lem of learning, very young, how much she can drink of such things whiskey and gin and stick ling to the proper quantity"
 There was undoubtedly great courage in that and yet it likely was but given natur- laly as natural expression of candid woman.
 In the way-in statement far more sem sational-Mrs Roosevelt was, doubt, but express ling her personality and mind in words when at Chicago she said:
 From my life in Washington know how difficult is to keep in contact with public
 opinion in the country once man gets
 there. That is where I believe I can help, since my husbands mail is so tremendous he cannot possibly look at all of it. think that my correspondence is the avenue through which WE keep in touch with
 the public and that is will give US a real
 picture of the life of the country; so hope
 that people will write to me when get to
 Washington.
 Not in the history of the American democracy and of it's Presidency has mistress of the White House spoken to the public in this extensive way, and far as we know, not in the history of democ- racies anywhere has the wife of a President in alluding to the performance of the Presidential duties, used the first person plural i've" or us :" In the of Mrs. Roosevelt she welcomes the public to write to her not in the capacity of a representative of the President but as one mem Der of a sort of partnership of interest. 1 connubial Presidency in connubia nation, with the children gathered about the hearthstone- this is something new and interesting in republic in which women could not vote until few years ago

 She reached her old lodgings and found, as she had suspected that some letters had not been for warded.

 When did they come?' de- handed Barbara, tearing open the first, which was addressed in Ju- dy's sprawling hand. Mrs. Ridd neditated profoundly and Barbara read Judy's letter.
 Tt was funny you saying the ether day that you felt there was change coming to Kings Barn, 2 wrote Mrs. Lodely. You were right. heard from my sister this morning and she's coming back to live there after all.
 T don't know I'm sure what we shall do for a home, all plans now being upset, but I thought perhaps you wouldn't mind getting the place cleaned up and packing oui things. The trunks are in the attic.
 T thought perhaps you could let me have room in the Toxe- te, house to keep the trunks un- til we are more settled, so far al. can say is that Mark says be will be here for a year at least, so I suppose may as well stay, too

CLASSIFYING THE EXPERTS.

With economists at odds their own "solu- tions" for existing conditions, and each fortified with elaborate sets of tabulations to justify his offering, the "gag" that has been going the rounds in financial circles recently is or less apropos. It is to this effect An economist is who starts in by knowing a great deal about very little and gets to know and about less and less until he finally knows practically everything about nothing at all; statistician begins by knowing very little about great deal and he goes along he gets to know less and less about and more until in the end he knows practically nothing about everything.
 Maybe these descriptions are merely pure non- sense but what with all the views and contentious between different sets of economists and statiscians flying around, the forgotten man is beginning to wonder if there isn't something to them after all.

scarves, old stockings, bits and ends of ribbons-Barbara took up- on herself to throw away at least half the accumulation.
 There remained now the two downstairs rooms and the kitch- eli. Except for Marks books which had to be packed separately, there was little here belonging to either mother or son. A cigarette case Of Judy's lay on the mantlepiece. Marks gramophone was on a ta- ble. There was a battered darn ing basket. In the drawers of desk there were some papers.
 Without examining them, Bar bara lifted them out. She added to the collection some notepaper end a fountain pen and then, on an impulse, sat down and wrote Farrell Armitage that she was not free to come to London. The truck was due, but not yet in sight. Barbara decided to run out and post her letter.
 She had posted it and was back on the threshold of the house when she heard someone move in the sitting room. Idiot that she was-she had left the door ajar!

What Seeds May The

What garden seeds should the home
gardener attempt to save for his or her
own use? A E Hutchins, vegetable
specialist, horticulture division. Uni

lowing answer:
Certain seed may be saved at home
with little effort. The seed of self
fertilized crops such as beans. Lima
beans, peas, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers.
and elephants, do not cross, to any
great extent, and can be saved by the
gardener with fair degree of success.
"Cross-pollinated crops, such as vine
crops, members of the cabbage family.

Scientist Tells What
To Do About WOOdticks.

What everyone should know about
'woodticks" has been summed up by
DR.. W. A. Riley, chief in entomology,
University Farm, st. Paul. Minnesota's
So-called woodticks are really common
dog ticks, says DR.. Riley, and their at
tacks on man are usually without
serious effect, though in rare cases the
dog ticks may carry tularaemia, and
there is also evidence that, like the
Rocky Mountain woodticks, they may
carry spotted fever.
However, the wound inflicted by
ticks may become inflamed and second
arily infected. This is particularly
likely if the tick has been removed
hurriedly, leaving the mouthparts to
tester in the wound. Ticks should be
carefully removed from the body as
soon as found and anyone coming in
from the woods should make a careful
search over the entire body. One
should avoid leaving the mouthparts
in the wound and it is well to apply
tincture of iodine, alcohol or mercuro-
chrome to the wound to avoid infection.
All ticks removed should be killed by
crushing or dropping them in kerosene
before they have chance to lay their
eggs. Wearing high-top shoes and
closely fitting outer garments afford
partial protection while one is in the
woods, and this protection is increased
for time by spraying the shoes and
trouser legs with commercial house
fly spray.
Dogs should be freed from ticks at
least once week by careful hand
picking, says DR.. Riley. This is easier
if the animal is clipped Special
search should be made about the ears
the neck and between the toes. Con-
siderable protection is afforded dogs by
busting them thoroughly with DEBRIS
insect powder.
