CROWDING THE OLD FELLOWS Out 
First Assistant Postmaster General 
Roper, in his report welcomes the 
elimination of superannuated em- 
ployees without regard to length or 
value of service. The Postmaster of 
Washington has pursued a policy of 
suspending former soldiers of the 
Union army, and the Civil Service 
Commission of Washington is also 
endeavoring to force from the public 
service the men and women who have 
been giving the best years of their 
life to their country.

The canny Scotch Laird of Skibo 
Castle declares that the European 
war must be fought to a finish. This 
same Andy, former master of Amer-

for libraries and public buildings, is 
the main support of a great peace 
proposition in the United States, and

gant thing for some people, but there 
is a growing suspicion that it is 
“blowing its money” and getting 
nothing in the way of results in re- 
turn. But all may be an erroneous 
notion, for possible the Carnegie So- 
ciety may be doing some real good 
for world-wide peace that the people 
of the United States have not yet 
heard about. 
There were 400 fires this year on 
the national forests of Utah, southern 
Idaho, western Wyoming, and Ne- 
vada, or I5 more than in the most 
disastrous season of 1910. Yet the 
cost of extinguishing them was only 
one-third and the damage only one- 
thirtieth of that of the earlier year. 
The difference is due to better organ- 
ization now, and to more roads, trails, 
and telephones.

The severe wind and rain storm of 
Tuesday and Tuesday night devel- 
oped into a blizzard Wednesday—the 
most severe of the winter. Fortun- 
ately, however, traffic was not inter- 
fered with materially and the storm 
cleared Wednesday noon, leaving the

Damage to the extent of $1000, it is 
estimated was done at the residence 
of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph H. Barbour, 
during the severe weather of Christ- 
thas week. The heater was allowed 
to go out and the zero weather caused 
the radiators to freeze and _ break. 
The heater was also cracked. Mr. 
and Mrs. Barbour are spending the 
winter in Cambridge.
