EFFICIENCY IN POSTAL SERVICE. Only the most partisan citizens will fall Into liDe with ttic suggestion that large numbers of postmasters, now under civil service rules, he removed to make room for political appointments. It may be true, as has been charged, that President Wilson's zeal for the civil service became acute after the best offices had been filled by democrats, but nothing Is to be gained by receding in the effort to take the postal sarvire out of politics. Advocates of. the merit system In the postal service have had a long, hard fight to reach even the present degree of recognition of the principle of civil serviie. The spoils system has never made for efficiency in the public service, and there is no reason to believe that the change from one party to another 'will justify using the postal service as a means cf rewarding political workers. The pub'lc wants efficiency in the postofflce department, and it is not greatly interested In the political affiliations of the postmasters or the persons working under them. Congress should take the action n?c-et-sary to bring about as improvement in the postal service, such as increasing the pay of employes to attract better workers and retain those ui'ifct capable. 1'ohtma.Fters should be business nieu, not. politicians or persona -who 'peck the position as rew ard tor pol'y tical service alone. No postmaster should he permitted to retain his office if he is required to look to his subordinates for the ability required to run the ocicc La business-like manner.

Interests from ruin. Oats have been sold in Iowa under forty cents, thirty-five cents and thereabouts. At that rate the product of an average acre of oats Is hardly more than ten or twelve dollars in money. Deduct the Reed, threshing and the etceteras and what does the' farmer have left for his labor and for the taxes and rentals or Interest on his land? There are renters in Iowa who this year contracted to pay $22 an acre for their lands, where are they going to get off with ten or twelve dollars worth of oats on the credit eide of the books.' Can they survive, can they keep themselves out of the poor bouse on oats? Seventy-five cents Is the least they can accept if they would pay the expenses of cultivation this year. And corn: It has been sold In the Iowa markets down to fifty-two cents und there are phices in Iowa where it has gone down in the fortifi, and it takes eighty pounds instead of seventy to make a bushc! ot new corn, the ten pounds being considered moisture for which the dealers refuse to pay even tkat low market price. Thirty-two or three bushels an aero is the average viold of corn and that makes it Impossible for the farmers tc convert an acre of corn itito fourteen, fifteen or sixteen dollars of money, which is Just about enough to pay the average rental-of corn land In Iowa. In other words the farmers will have nothing left for themselves, and if they are not renters they have irtore?; on their investments which amounts to about the sirre. This U the narirulfural proposition with which the farmer ' r confronted. Does anyone hesitate to believe there must be a change? The farmers have reached prices thaf- rre so low that failure stares them !n the face unless there is an upturn. In the meantime there is corn coming from the Argentine in ships loaded to the water line and the warehouse-?; of the east ore stored full of corn t bat has been brought to a country that produces corn by the billions of bushel3. And woM It is coming frrm Australia by the ship load, and the frozen lambs are coming from the same country In other ships.

PORTRAYAL OF "UNIVERSAL PEACE" ATTRACTS ATTENTION

FARMERS FACE RUIN. So far as Uk farmers are concerued, it is not necessary for theta to wait for reductions the prices of their products have already hit what ought to be the bottom, says the Cedar Hapld3 Republican. It 13 a bottom from which there must be a rebound if we would avoid disastrous consequences. Take wool, it brings ten cents a pound if it can b aold at all, according to the testimony of men who are experienced In the wool game. Ten cents a pound for wool If it can be sold at all. At that rate the keeping of flocks ought to be about as profitable as keeping beos in Hades. And hides, what are they worth now seven cents a pound if a buyer for them can be found, and that is not easy for what is called the farm take-off which 13 not always as cleverly manipulated as the hides that are removed in the packing houses by skilled workmen. Seven centa a pound and that Is down from fifty cents. Surely that price Is at the bottom and the rebound is the one thing that can be hoped for to save the farming

EARLY CHRISTMAS BUYING. The e'ogan. "Do Your Christmas Shopping L'arly" has been repeated so often that most persons do not take it as seriously as it deserves. Large numbers of tbem regard H as a plan of the rccrchants,to sell goods out of season, rather than to be of service to the Individual. The people of this country are generous purchasers of pifts at the holiday period, and many of them arc Inclined to go to the limit of thfir financial inclination, ar.d sometimes ability. In order to buy the rights which they desire for members of their families or for friends. The argument for doing holiday bujlng early even -o early as the present, when prices on many use fill articles are being marked much lower than they have been for some time are just as sound as they were when the early buying proposa' was first made. Many articles suitable for holiday gifts are beic? offered at lower prices now than they probably will be when the holiday spirit becomes Infectious. Nearly all merchants would much ralher have the fcuying for holiday purposes cover a number of weeks than to crowd the business into the ten days before Christmas. And there is reason to believe that adoption of the practice by many more persons would be found just es satisfactory to the buyer as to the seller. Persons wLc are looking tor bargains in staple articles for holiday gifts should not retain the idea that it Is too soon to obtain bargains in the. things the see'. Toys ar.d other articles of a mere strictly holida., character will be on display in due time, but the wise buyers will be found "looking around a bit" eea before the merchants themselves feel strongly for pressing the injunction to "buy early.'-
