According to the annual report of the postmastsr genera! for the year ending with last June an audited sur- pius i8 claimed for the vear of mearly ten mMllion dollars. This of course is shown as the résult of the book- keeping methods which are used by the department and which ‘vary ma terially from thos* used by large cor- rorations- in getting . at -the actual Lrofits. In expianation of the good showing which is set forth the report -says: “In consérving the revenues of the vernment it has been the aim cf the department to not only take into account the natural growth- of the es- iablishment and normal needs, but at the same time tc meet the present emergency and -provide for the con- stant enlargement of the service and 2 greater ificrease in postal efficiency so vital to the successful prosecutlo: of the war.” That the department has Shown a greater efficiency may be the view taken by the postmaster general but such can hardly be endorsed by the people of the country who would nat- urally be expeeted to experience it. Instead of improving the postal ser- vice there appears to be a decided slump_in the other direction. Postal servicd has gone backward instegd of forward through the curtailments which have been made and it is un- questionably through this reduction in dérvice, the service which the peo- ple demand and pay for, that it has been possible to show the surplus®an- nounced. Such it is impossible-to re- gard as efficient postal service to say . nothing about increased efficiency. ——— SHIPPING MEN’'S PROTEST. ‘There are a great many lines of busipess which have protested against the drafting of thelr-men for milifary service. In some instances these pro- tests appear to be justified. In oth- ers they can hardly be viewed in such. 2 manner. Just at the present time shipping men are opposing ‘the Inclusion of of- ficers and engineers in the draft for the army. “They poiht'to the import- anee of the merchant marine, the'need of meeting the transportation require- ments- and the difficuity which is al- ready being experienced in getting qualified men to operate the ships in support of ‘their position. This - country is bislly engazed in rushing its: shipbuilding programme. As fast as the ships are complcted and commissioned the necessary offi- cers. and engineers to operate. them Rre going to be réquired amd these men should be of the highest degree of efficiency.

INSPIRING EXAMPLES. The town of Woodstock, in north- eastern Connecticut, is furnishing the rest of the state some excetient exam- bles of what can be dome in the way of agricuitural activities if there is the will. It was not long ago that the son of Leonard Healey, secrétary of the state board of asriculture, demonstrated the possibilities of corn. raising in Con- neeticut gnd at the same time showed what chances there are for keeping e boys interested on the farm. Not only did he get the second largest amount of corn to the aare in the country but he was the leader in the puofit realized from the acreage un- der oultivation. It was a maguificent showing and one of which the whole state as well as the town of Wood- stock has-reason to be But right on his heels appears to be Harry H. Clark, a 16 vear old boy of the same. town, ®he has gone. in for pig raising. That he is the cham- pion pig raiser of the state amonz beys seems likely but whether, he is or not it is certainly an ex- ellent record which he has made in raisinz nearly $300 worth of pigs this car and when he declares that he is ing to raise more next year with Liopes of making ‘the amount” $1,000! clearly demonstrates the pessibili- es in this line. These two examples not only show what can be done on ' Conmecticut farms if the proper attention is given zetting the boys interested in such ctivities. The corn growing and pis raising clubs must get credit for the stimulation which they have . given but the inspiration from thess demon- strations ought not to be lost upon the farmers and other boy .farmers throughout the state. ‘Fhey show conelusively that Connecticut's acri- cultural production can be many times creased. < . SEEING AMERICA FIRST. Tourist travel in forelsn countries shows a big falling off since the outbreak of the war. Those Who wére formerly making visits to the Euro- pean nations are either .staying at homeé or heading in other direetlons. Eut thebq is an occasional bit of evi- dence that a large number of the pea- ple of this country who like to travel and have the micans are Tesponding to the Invitation which was so sen- erally extended to see America first. This is pretty conclusively shown in the report which is made by the department of the interior to the ef= fect:'that during the season of 1917 there was an increase of more than er cent. in the patronagé of,the national parks, the _sreat natural gropnds of this country of i too, little is knqwn by the Amefican peopie. During the past season there were nearly a half mil- on people who visited these deltght- ful spots where in the previous year the number was only a little over a third of a million. . Even the year 1915 when so many were. attracted to the Pacific, coast expositions and thus | were near to these nature gardens did not show as many visitors.as the past two seasons. Some of the inereased attention which s being devoted to these parks must be attributed to the improve- ment in facilities and the opening of the parks in some instances to, aute- ists, but there can be little question but what the falling off in the tour- ing of _Furope has been responsible for a large part of this jncrease. But whether there is war or peace it is time that Americans were showing a greater interest in the attractive sec- tions of their own country. EDITORIAL NOTES.

As he sald these destroyers pheld the highest traditions of the Navy by attacking ships of far great- er strength, and fighting to the last. Sir Brie “On October 16 the two destrovers Strongbow and Mary Rose, with three small but armed vessels, orly oné of which was fitted with a wireless. es- corted a _convoy of 12 ships bound for the Shetland Islands from Norway.
