The bill providing for the desired addition to the local post office is Lemng watched with keen interest by those having charge of mail matters here. Postmaster Delaney has had no notice of any hearing on the bill as yet. This being the situation, facts which would aid in its passage are worthy of emphasis. g A man is much more inclined to give good quarters to one in his em- pioy wherein the employe may do bus- mess when he knows that employe is deserving, efficient and economical. So the government. ‘“political ex- igencies” being eliminated, is more in- clined to add to the facilities of a post office where it may be shown that such office is efffficient and econom- ical. All this may be said of the locai post office. Up to quite recently it has been with great difficulty that it has continued its efficiency owing to the fact that it was hard to receive authority from the department to em- pioy sufficient men. By dint of much planning; by using the greatest number of its employes in the busiest hours and having few men idle in the “slow” time of the lay, that efficiency has been continued. % Onmly recently have there been ‘enough men employed at the post " office to do the necessary work with- ' out that rush which would tend to the ‘making of mistakes were not the most " pirict watch kept. And this result “hls come not because of the obtain- ing of more men, but because the ‘business of the office has become such that the number of men employed could handle it. ; ‘Postmaster Delaney’s remark 'this morning, therefore, that there is no intention to lay off any employes, by ‘o means signifies a failure to recog- . ‘mize the wisdom of the order for - — “JEST RUMINATIN'.” (Robert Russell.) There’s nothin’ like the sun t> cure tobacco—make it ripe To start asain a-dreamin’ thac ol ruminatin’ pipe: There’s nothin’ like the shads o great, green trees to make it feel That lots o' visions born ia driftin’ clouds o' smoke, was real. So, set afire by those rays o' burnin’, glowin’ sun, An’ soothed by coolin’ shade that dreamin’ pipe has jes: begun To sehd aloft its driftin’ smoke in which. perhaps, we see In lots o’ routine things o’ life a pictured melody. Bfit when we leave a garden fair where sentiment is king. We've got to face realities—a diff'rent sort o’ thing. Perhaps we’ll find new joy in life—with smiles our burdens bear If we'll bring jest a flower from that glowin’ garden, fair. N Try This On Your Wise Friend There is a number’of six digits' of such a nature that if you trans- fer the two left-hand digits (28) to the oprosite end, the new num- ber thus formed is exactly double the original number. What is the original number? Answer to Saturday’s: feet. e > ment, would make the best post- economy. It means that the force, never adequate in the rush periods, bad it not been for skilful manage- ment and cooperation, has more near- Jy approached such adequacy at last. Saving in paper and string and al- lotment of hours to employes so that their greatest efficiency might be ob- tained may seem small matters. but if such economies observed throughout the country there would be less necessity for the curtailing of forces at a time when employment 1s not easily obtainable. Perhaps it would not be priding ourselves too much to say that the order reminds one of a Captain’s re- mark in a training camp while the war was in progress. He had just criticized in the severest manner the men in his company for their failure 1o do their work well. Some hours later, approaching a group of men off the drill fleld, he unbent for a mo- ment and committed the remarkable act of becoming quite human, “I wasn't talking to you men,” h2 said. “You're all right. It was the majority of the company that I was ‘bawling out’.” Perhaps the fact that the New Brit- sin post office is one of the small number which does practice the strict- est economy will help just. a little ‘when the bill for that addition comes wp for passage. were ECONOMY? The national administration is preaching economy; economy in gov- crment affairs is particularly popular just now. Economy just now! In other words the administration does not want to spend more money right at this moment than is necessary, according to the pronouncements. Perhaps the Républican, in a far off small town, was not thinking of this propaganda for economy when he yeferred to the manner in which Pres- ident Harding was investigating mat- ters in regard to the appointment of postmasters. In this town one of the three who passed the necessary examination with the highest grade might be appointed to the postmastership. The gentle man versed In political affairs em phasized the alleged fact that at President Harding’s instigation two imen were being sent into every such town to look into, the situation and see which of the persons who had won or ‘naster. The investigators mentioned were to cover the ground thoroughly. They were to look up the standing of the contestants in the community; thes were to make all sorts of inquiries concerning them. It would be quite natural. perhaps. for these investigators to inquire into the party regularity of the candidates. It would be quite natural if these in- vestigators should make a point ot finding this out the first thing thes did. And President Harding, being ' = “regular” would be inclined, sub-con sciously perhaps—and perhaps not sub-consciously—to favor the ‘“regu- ar.” Taking the hint it would be rath- er politic for the investigators to niake a most favorable report, back at ‘Washington, on the most regula~ party person of the contestants. It would be a splendid thing ' 1t eyerv candidate for appointive office, small or large, could be thus investi- guted in the community where ‘he lived- But it would be rather ex- peunsive business for the government, ard would not-relieve the burden o: tae taxpayer. Incidentally it will help the admin- istration to have “regular” post- masters in these small towns But this plan of investigation quite in keeping with the cry of ecomony ? EMIL MALMGREN. There is something particularly pathetic in the death of a young man of the type and personality of Emil Malmgren, to whom the end came early yesterday morning. Yet there is comfort for those to whom he was dear in the pride that they may feel in his achievements during the com- paratively short period of manhood which was allotted to him. At an age when many boys are still at play, he was at work winning the confidence of his employers which resulted in his recognition as one capable of aiding in the direction of business affairs usually handled by men many years his seniors. At an age when many young men are just leaving college and trying to settle down to facing the realities of life, he had gained a place in his community which carried him into the counsels of the city where his attractive personality made his a welcome presence. The brave fight he made for was but another example of the strength that often lies beneath the friendly smile of a man who believes in and practices strict performance of duty without undue parade of prin- ciple. Emil Malmgren, probably the youngest member of the Common Council of the city, leaves vacant a chair pregnant of promise. Just a bit of brightness will be taken from the council chamber; a touch of cheer will be missiag from the at- mosphere of the portion of the city in which he lived; in business circles the absence of his young face will be quietly 'noted, and in the home there is sadness upon which it would be presumptuous to touch other than to express the deepest sympathy for those who knew far better than might friend or acquaintance the full value of close association with the fine, strong man in the first great promise of a splendid life. life OTHER COMPLICATIONS.

Daly THE PATHWAY OF CONTENTME. So many songs the minstrels sing, so many lilting tunes, Of shady lanes and how they go by sandy hills and dunes, That I have planned to take a trip, and soon I hope to start On the pathway of contentment that will lead me to your heart. Some sunny morn I want to walk along the favored way Before the stealthy shadows come at closing of the day, Before some wealthy merchant-man from out the money mart Finds the pathway of contentment that might take him to your heart. If fortune smiles on me at all, as some believe it will, It could not please me more than this; to let me stroll at will In the garden spots along the way, with fragrance set apart, On the pathway of contentment that goes straight into your heart. Oh, I could ask for other things and wish for gifts galore; But, having found this highway, then, I could not hope for more To me, 'tis greater than all else in nature’s realm of art— Just the pathway of contentment that is stretching toward your heart: P | FACTS AND FANCIES | ' — BY ROBERT QUILLEN R Whatever the under dog may be under, it isn’t control at present. In the matter of wages, manufac- turers seem determined to cut before they deal. If we don’t take an interest in Eur- ope, we can't hope to get interest out of Europe. About the only boast Heinie made good was that one about making America pay for the war. You can say one thing for our for- eign policy. We are not doing anything rash and hasty. \ Uncontrollable temper: One that runs amuck when the owner is dealing with somebody he can lick. A girl can cover her ears, but if a man is an ass the ears will show in spite of all he can do. About the only difference is that the radical hates authority while the conservative h?tea taxes. Yeast will cure a number of things, perhaps,; but it won’t cure the foolish notion that one can acquire health without rational living. Once in a while you get a pound of butter that causes you to wonder why Noah didn’t feed it to the animals if the family didn’t want it. In war time, Government publishes a list of heroic dead. If only, in times of peace, it would publish a list of the dead beats. that the city may not know what to do in regard to paving its streets. Formerly the Connecticut company was required to pave nine feet in the center of the street where its tracks ran. It is now found that the com- rany only eight inches each side of its rails. This leaves a space between eight inches each side of each rail that the The city may very well go ahead and pave that space without co-operation from the Connecticut company. Moreover the ties belonging to the company extend more than eight in- ches outside of the rails. In other words the ties extend underneath tha surface of that portion of the street wLich the city must pave. Were the city to go ahead and pave the street outside the eight inches, ard were the Connecticut company then to decide to lay new tracks, the copany would be obliged to rip up is obliged to pave city must pave. not some of the pavement put down by the city. South Main street needs repaving. This would be some of the work which would give something to do to more inen, as well as benefiting the city. The trolley tracks there are in bad condition. The Mayor communicated with the company some time ago. stating ths situation and calling attention to ‘the condition of the tracks and street. The Conecticut company’s agent replied that the company was in no condition {0 take the matter up at this time, and that it could not be placed before the toard of directors immediately. If the line is to be discontinued, as ‘n the case of Arch street, the ci'y would gladly pave the whole street. This, however, it would not be able t do with the possibility of having rauch of its work wasted.
