ST. PATRICK AND SWEET PEAS.

In many an almanac will be found opposite the dito. Much 17. tins: "St. Patrick's Day tim to .-ow .sweet peas.'' The beeret successfully prowin ovcet p-:i.s is tlivnlir'! by an t xpert lb- says: "Seet peas want root rooni. rich oil tpudcl liep. viih a co"l. moist comlition about the ro"t.. a trench U to IS inches deep and till to witlüti si inehes of the top with a good miturt" of soil ami manure and plenty of ratted lojf m!tl or stable bedding.

WHAT EFFICIENCY MEANS. Wo are to have a very eüicient national government for the next four years so saith the partit-ans behind it. It will not be h nd to convince them that it lias made good. It may be rotten, and etlicicni to the core, but they will scarcely admit it publicly. But let U?i sc., what rthciency means; more than promising it in t;.ttoring generalities; more than dreaming things, wishing you could do them, and then inviEinirg you huvo done them. Etlicicney 16 doing the right thing, at the right time, hi the rieht place, even as emergencies arise, and the unCNcctcd Iiis to bo coped with. it Jj knowing how to apply theory to practice, turning defeat into experience ami using it to achlftvo uccrss. It is the ability to maid one's per.-onality at any time or place and the elimination of woakiict?, rcgret, "worry and fear. It irf S' I'-reliance, clothed with modesty, persistrnco' j.'.Ui rolitt n'-s and the hand of steel in the velvet glove. I3f!lclcncy is alertnfs., presence if mind, reading ?s to adjust one's eeif to the unexpected, impignirg the ego against tho combination of events Itv'k fate, custom and prejudice until they give v a y. It id lurpos -, practice patience, the meadJie of a mm, the real iize of Iks soul, the ability to Uoo ore's pist-ions, I:k-, dislikes, habits, experience, education, mind, body antl licart and not to be used by tluse tilings. It is seif-mastery, concentration, vifion and com-ii'--n sene. and tho turn total cf all that is in man. Ir.defd, it is the r'oxai clement in man. di. tim tly at its b-sl, not a matWr of form, nor a regime; net a modus operandi, r.o not at all. It U not a diicuit matter to scheme ab.cad and follow a, -t of wfll-la'.d pli;F, when the machinery works ve!l. and things como to pars- exactly rs contemplated. It ii when something or eomebody kicks over th traces, throws a monkt y-wrench into tho machinery, and things start going wrong, that efficiency's hand I needed. Partisan indorsement of the next administration is undertaking a big contract, wh n it springs a Kuaranti-e of c-mciency. (lovcrnnient is still a mat

ter of men; Jut men and the opportunity. lifaciency as a relative term is one thlnff, but an an unqualified "perfection" u?I for lack of a better term, it is quite another thing. In other words, it doea not mean "infallibility;" this regardless of the eqotL-m with which certain of i'os advocates would have it taken to.

OUR HANDICAPS. Handicap ars true rcvealern of character. Ther la no eurer way to Judae a man than by the way h aceepts a handicap, and the s-jcccm he attains la t-plte of it. Take an empty sleeve. This is looked upon a a severe, handicap, yet it was an empty aleeve that opened tho door of opportunity 'to Robert II. Allleon, the young chap who plays ball with one arm tetter than most men with two. In three yearn after the accident which deprived him of hU arm he had not only worked his way through two years of college but by hla own effort had saved $2.200 toward educating himself for law. So resolutely has he overcome his handicap that he has almost ceased to look upon it as euch und tfeclaxc that it haa forced him to Invent eo many ways to get around it that it has made him moro efficient than ho otherwise would have been. He eays: "The truth, is I didn't wake ur to what I really could accomplish until J, was forced to by the loss of my arm." To the strong man a handicap la a challenge. Ho marshals all his forces to overcome It and thus develops a ftrcngth of character that makes him a winner. The way w? accept our handicaps will determine largely the place we are to occupy in lifo. THOSE "GOOD OLD TIMES" AGAIN. A writer in on eaatern majazlno wants us to turn back agnin to "the good old times," but after a survey of hin offerings, and much as ono may long for the "simple life," who would welcome those times, even were they to come back? Subtract from modern lifo the mov'e; porcelain bath-tubs; vacuum sweepers; electric lighti; Instantaneous hot water; and telephones. Take out phonographs; automobiles; electric irons and washmachines; and sanitary plumbing. Banish these things and you have again what people like to call "good old times." Occasionally a cynic declaims against the modern improvements, but he never means it. The modest home of the average middle-cla.srt American is int nitely mor comfortable than the mansion of tho3 other day called "tho good old tim." The average housewife, relieved of much of the old drudgery of handwork, has more time for leisure and recreation. Her family haa more recreational opportunities. The new timc have their faults, but hey aro the, golden ago when contrasted with the "good old times." They cost us more, than the "good old days' of yore, but aren't they worth the price? . DEFLATING THE FARM. Beef cattle prices have fallen to cb3 than what they were beforo this country entered the war. Hog prices aro but a trille higher than in 1917. Tho averago acre corn crop is worth less than in February, 1917. About the same low level has been reached by every farm product. Thero is no doubting tho statement that the farmer is on a pre-war price batds as far as selling goes. He still la buying fertilizer, machinery, gasoline, and other necessities at pricea considerable higher than he paid in tho early months of 1917. The American farmer cannot long continue selling on a deflated, and buying on an inflated market. Hirt selling r rices must Hse,' or his buying prlce must drop. He. isn't a philanthropic institution; ha isn't even in the privileged creditor class. But ho does stand between the city worker and starvation o The aerial mail carriers haul letters acro the. continent in lean time, than tho post office assorts and delivers them after their arrival. O ' Disappointed ciUee seekers arc sure the firt haif of the new president's name is pronounced tho way it is spelled. o 11 iram Johnson will help fight New York traction bills. Golly, isn't there trouble enough at the other end of the continent to keep him busy. o

Other Editors Than Ours

1-OSTJIASTFJtS. (Indianapolis News.) In his dispatch of yesterday Mr. Small raid that ono of tho first acts of Sen. Harding, aatcr he became president, will be to rescind the order of 1'refl't Wilson including all first elaes postmasters within the classified service. "Mr. Harding," eo it is said, "will insist that merit should control in tho appointment of postmasters, but he does not,beliec that the democrats who have been placed in postmasterships in the. k'tjt eight years should be perpetuated in otlico." On this theory it would never bo I ossibb- to bring thte places within the classified service. A democratic successor of Mr. Harding would insist on a clean sweep of republicans, and eo the til practice, would continue. Some one will have to make a beginning, and it had been hoped thut the incoming" president would embrace the opportunity offered to him to savehimself from trouble, and the country from inefficiency. There are many postmasters, no doubt, who ( tight to be. removed for the good of the ncrvice, but that is a very different matter from removing them as democrats. By this time we ought to be able to think of the post office department as a great busiiut institution, without any relation whatever to rarti.san politics. Till we are prepared to do thai we need not hope for great improvement in the postal service. The fourth class postmasters are, it is assumed, safely within tho classified service, as of course they ought to bo. But all the othera, it i sviid. will be removed, though it is insisted that th.j new appointments will be made on the basle of fitness. When Tres't Wilson extended the rules to cover the first class officets, it was thought that a gfeat gain had been made. That there has been fairness in making appointments undor the new system is proved by the fact that many republicans have been chosen, among them the postmaster at Boston. Thus the reform is fairly under way, and it i one of the greatest reforms that the government has known. It would be too bad to have it upset. Under the obi system, which it is proposed to revive, it 1 impossible for a man to look for a career in th9 postal service, since promotion to the headship of the office is denied him. There le. in truth, no incentive for him to seek such promotion, since in the lower grades he is sure of his tenure under the civil service rules, while as the had of the office he would b the victim of jui such a sweep af It 1 now proposec. to make. The American people arc interested ole!y ip having good service. The business men of the country do not care whether the postmasters are democrats or republicans, but they do care greatly whether they know their business, and tend to it. The Wilson order is right and it is a pity that it is not to stand. Even as things now are, the new president will have 2,000 of the? appointments to mvike, and that should be enough. We can never get this great reforru established If !t is to be overthrown for such reasons as are now crsigned for there will always be such reasons. It Ls not a question of keeping democrats in office, but of keeping the offices out of politics.

Ignorant Essays BY J. P. McEVOY

MAKCH. By J.. P. McKYOY. March is like a relative on a visit: it comes in like a lamb and goes out like a lion. It aho resembles said relative inasmuch as your pleasure on greeting Itn coming i.- exceeded only by tho rapture with which you speed it on its way. March has let mo see, 30 days hath September, April. June and yes, that's righ CI days, includirr st. Patrick's day. ThL is tbc occasion for celcl rating the banishment by the. Saint of all tho snakes from Irelu-.l That is, he. thought i;e got th3n ail. but he overlooked two: one b!aM: and-one tan colored. One of th most eurous phenomena conri3'ed with f.Iaich ts windlnesj. Mot of this is a result of traejo winds from salesmen on their spring trips. Another cause is the fact ihat the air is n a hurry. Whenever thia Js the cas, tho result is a wind, and winds arc what makes it windy. Wind.o-Io gists may tell you differently but that's my story and I'm going to stick to it. Our forefathers knew March as a harbinger (whatever that may be) of spring, spring beautiful spring. But with us, it is not ro. Ala., no. For us it Is the pad nes It is the month in which wo must filo our Income tax returns and pay at least 2i percent to the democrats or republicans, as tho case may be. Notwithstanding the indubitable and incontrovertible! fact that I, my

self, have paid for tho last war at least twice, you will still havo to Pay income tax this year and next and next et nunc, et semper, et in sa'ecula, snculrom, amen Which moans exactly what Sam, the colored prisoner said when arked how long hft was in for: "From now on," said Sam. March is tho month in which Julius Caesar was bumped off. He was warned to "Beware cf the Ides of March" but he thought they were kidding. Yes they were. They showed him! What did they do? I'll tell you what they did. They backed him up behind the public garage ami they said: "You thought we were kidding you when we told you to beware of the Ides cf March, didn't you? Take that" and they gave him "that", which was the Re man equivalent for a howio knife. "Take this." said another, "this" being another knife, only bigger. Caesar took both of them and a lot morfl and thn tipped over. Just as lie fell he said to Brutus: "Et tu Brute," which means "You big brute" and then he said: "This will certainly iach me to bewaro of the Ids of March." It sure did. That'.? all thero is there isn't any more. (Copyright, FOL) GRUITTTNC. CARDS. The art of sending greeting cards in the old days and now. (Tomorrow -'ii Ignorant Lssuy.) Don't mirs it.
