COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

Janper county’s recently selected agricultural agent arrived last Monday morning and assumed the duties of the office. Mr. D. M. Mawhorter is a young man of about thirty years of age and is amply qualified to do the work of the office. He wishes every farmer in Jasper county would make his acquaintance at once so that he can begin Administering to the farmers’ needs in this county. The teachers of Jasper county have responded to the request of the county superintendent that each teacher make a state license even though the teacher has made a county license.

EVEN DEMOCRATS MUST COMPLAIN

W. H. Robinson of the Lafayette Journal-Courier comments upon the remarks of Democratic editors in reference to one of President Wilson’s incompetent cabinet officers. He says; Mr. Burleson’s postal service is getting pretty rotten when democratic newspapers can no longer tolerate it. The Rensselaer Democrat has this to say on the subject: “The Democrat is mailed at the postoffice in Rensselaer every Tuesday and Friday evenings. Such mailing constitutes delivery to our subscribers to the extent of our ability. We are hot responsible for the damnable mail service that we have, apparently all over the country, and we do not guarantee any subscriber that he will ever get a copy of The Democrat through the mails. We mail them and are called upon to pay the postage, which we do, but the subscriber must take his chances with everybody else. “The Democrat believes that the trouble in the mail service is caused by a conspiracy among a large number of the employes—who are seeking increases in pay—to make the service just as abominable as possible- There seems to be too much of this don’t-give-a-damness among. the postal employes to render anything like decent service to the ‘ public. . - | “Of course we. want every subscriber to receive his paper regularly and will look after all complaints, but when we have done this ; we want the subscriber to transfer his cussing to the postal service and | give us a rest.” j The Benton Review, another dem- , oeratic newspaper, reprints the above and says: “Them’s our sentiments, too.” If, as these newspapers profess to believe, a conspiracy exists among the postal employes, it might be I well for Mr. Burleson to take some ( action. But as a matter of fact, I these publishers probably don’t be-. lieve anything of the land; party allegiance merely prohibits them from placing the blame where it rightly belongs.
