When I moved to the place where I am now living it was very much dilapidated, and my friends wondered what I was expecting to do on each a place. . There were 140 acres in the lot, 40 of which were in Bermuda grass and most of the balance in woods. My farm today consists of 270'acres, with three tenant houses, over five miles of wire fence, 15 separate inclosures good orchard and meadow that supply this farm with all the frnit and hay that we ; want, and some to sell. I have long since learned that the farmer who makes money most raise something besides cotton and com, and he mast practice diversified farming at all times. I have two plots from which I get two or three crops eaoh year. In fact, we have something on them to eat and sell each month in \ j tiie year. j Letters Uncalled For. 1 List of letters remaining milled for in this office for the weekending April, 14, 1913.

UNION NATI Columbh ^ = SHAKE UP IS COMING. Reorganization of the Custom Service Has Begun; A dispatch from Washington -says that a reorganization of the personnel of the Democratic administration was begun last Wednesday when Secretary McAdoo of the .Treasury Department, took steps to displace all the high customs officials at the port of Philadelphia. In announcing the action the Secretary said: 4'It is considered vital in the interest of the public that new blood shall.be brought into the service." Mr. McAdoo asked for the resignation of Chester Hill, Collector; Perry M. Little, Surveyor: Fred H.Vincent, Appraiser, and Walter T. Men ick, Naval Officer, all of Philadelphia. He officially announced that the resignations were requested "not because charges have, been preferred against them, but because it is deemed essential that these places shall be filled bf persons who are in sympathy with the uurnnse and DOlicies of the Adminis ? . JT ? " tration and also because it is considered vital iD the interest of the public that new blood shall be brought into the service." Treasury officials contented themselves with the brief statement, which was the first indication that a sweeping reorganization of the customs service was about to begin. Officials were reticent as to possible future moves in this direction bnt it is known that the Secretary has his eyes on the Boston office, where an alleged custom scandal is being unearthed. Close attention is being given to the general question of reorganization in connection with the radical redisricting of the service on July 1. 4 , TVin Inllnarinff nam oH rmnflAtnAn compose the County Board of Education: R.
