A Reform That Will be Appreciated Extravagant expenditures of public funds was one of the charges which the Republican

leaders brought against the Democratic administration. They pointed out many incidents wnere economy might have been applied, but the one that impressed the American voter most was the unnecessarily large number of federal employes. It is charged that thousands of men and women are on the federal payroll whose work could easily be done in a few hours daily. A wholesale reduction of the personnel of many departments could be effected Vithout impairing their efficiency. To the task of eliminating these superfluous employes, whose wages and salaries go into the millions, the Republican party will address itself as soon as it takes over the government. President-elect Harding promised that he would eliminate hundreds of thousands of unnecessary federal employes. This will be no easy task, for it will require lirst of all a thorough survey of almost all the governmental departments to determine how tmany employes are actually needed to perform ihe work in a satisfactory manner. When the lopping off process begins, it also will be found

Spanish Bakers Declare I

Strike; Government Acts (By Associated Press) MADRID, Nov. 12. Bakers In this city declared a strike yesterday. Government authorities have taken steps to supply the people with bread and military bakers have been called to the ovens. They were unable to fill all demands yesterday, however, and lines of people stood all day outside of shops. The trouble arose over an order that bakers reserve all flour provided by the food ministry fJr the manufacture of "controlled bread" for which there is a fixed price of 72 centimos a kilogram. The master bakers discharged 700 workers employed in mak

ing what is known as "luxury bread," and retained those making "controlled bread." The latter demanded that their comrades be reinstated, and struck when the employers refused to

accede.

HAND IN HAND Co-operation is a very long word, 'Tout It expresses what the world needs .above almost anything else. Watch a great -building rise. It is Tot ih-i work of one man but of scores. And the work of each and every man has to dove-tall into the work of every other man or else the building-, when finished, is faulty and Insecure. The best conducted office Is the one In which every worker understands and carries out the line of co-operation. Elbert Hubbard once wrote a piece of wholesome advice that has walked Its way around the world. This is -what he said: "Get In line or else get out!" Either work hand-in-hand with those with whom you associate or find a place where you can. Where there is friction, there is great loss. The smooth running machine is the cne where every single part works noiselessly in its place. The great, press which printed this newspaper, has a thousand parts.

appropriation measure. Rigid economy for a few years would enable the government both to reduce its demand for money for current expenses and to reduce the national debt. The interest on this debt alone ii a staggering item. The cost of increased taxation is to be found not only in sums of money we pay to the government, but also in the cost of the commodities which we buy. Every manufacturer and retailer is forced to enter the cost of taxation into the price he demands f o his commodities, so that in the long run the ultimate consumer pays his portion of them. Let the useless and superfluous employe of the government be discharged. Abolish his job. The American people are willing to see a program of economy tried out in Washington.

"Soap for Serbia" expresses one of the pressing needs of the Balkan kingdom, according to Elmer H. Jantz of the American Friends Service Committee, Philadelphia, who has just returned from three months' relief work in southern Serbia.

Serbia is troubled by bandits, and

which was in a filthy condition, was taken over by the unit. Agricultural Help. Apart from the medical work and assistance given to orphans, a program of agricultural help is being conducted among Montenegrin refugees who have settled in this district. Dr. Russell and

destruction of thousands of Serbian

homes by invading Bulgarians during the war. In this backwardQkingdom, which has only three newspapers and movie shows once a week in some of its cities, Mr. Jantz found the people decidedly primitive, particularly in the rural sections. A gigantic "housing

i problem" is being tackled by the

American Friends' Serbian Unit; and the people are being supplied with food and medicines. All Carry Guns. Every man carries a gun in rural Serbia, Mr. Jantz says, partly for defense against bandits who infest the hills and partly because of racial animosities. The Albanians and Montenegrins, he says, are restless under Serbian rule. Mr. Jantz spent three month3 at Diurovac, after working in Vienna

and France for sixteen months.

The women know absolutely nothing about the hygienic care of babiest Lack of soap and clothing is causing an epidemic of skin diseases; and the Friends have discovered that a sulphur bath and clean clothes are a wonderful incentive to a Serbian or Montenegrin farmer to begin building a new house.House Building. House-building is another important work undertaken by the American Friends. Five hundred Montenegrin families who were brought into Serbia by the Austrians to construct railroads and who could not return to their homes owing to terms of the peace treaty, have settled within a few miles of Fetch. The Serbian government allotted 40 acres to each family and the Friends' Unit helped these people to erect two villages, paying them for their labor with food rations. Two styles of houses have been erected, one of brick with red tiled roofs, and another consisting of a double partition of lath with stones and mod packed between.

It ha3 just been revealed that Prince Rudolph, one-time heir to the Austrian throne, was slain by a blow on the head with a bottle while talking with a baroness. Inasmuch a3 this happened in 1889 we don't see why Europe should get all smoked up over it. Unless somebody, of course, is trying to get up an excuse for another war. The Bolshevist government is collapsing again. The only rations arts raw apples. Inasmuch as we paid 10 cents for the last raw apple we had, it seems to us the Russians are living high. There was much gloom in Washington this week, and Secretary Colby was tho only member of the cabinet visible. It matters not how dismal things are, Bainbridge usually is around somewhere in sight. In fact, he seems to be the only bright spot in an otherwise dead, dank, dark, gloomy admini.stration. We are Charmed to note in a recent advertisement of the telephone company that the company now has 15,509 operators. But we wonder why, when we want a number, they have all gone to lunch at the same time.
