' There are now a few more than 1200 Americans in the service whereas, just before the arrival of the new l)em ocratic aaminisiruuun, mtic wcic more than 2600. Meanwhile there has been a steady increase naturally in Filipino employes of the government, the list showing 1000. The law which permits Americans of long service with the government to retire with a three-year pension ranging from 66 per cent of a year's salary to the full amount, is largely responsible for the number af American retirements which have increased very largely since the law was passed. The past year has seen 400 retirements and the previous year saw almost as many more. The policy of the Harrison administration in training Filipinos as rapidly a# possible for responsible posts in tha government service has- made the successors of these retired Americans almost entirely Filipinos. The fact, together with the increasing activities of the government, due to increased prosperity in the islands, is responsible for the big increase of Filipinos in the government service.

In one New York county 11 pot try-culling demonstration were atien ed by 225 persons who agre^'l to ci the slacker hens fro mtheir flocl which contained a total of 17,7 fowls.

( Webster's definition of the word efficient is producing results. I have ] inown my father to have his binder Dr hay rake repaired in mid winter, possibly six months before he would have any use for it. I thought this odd when a boy. I have since found it was one of his many forms of farm efficiency. When harvest time came my father produced results. He was just as careful about his harness, plows, harrows, wagons,, drills, etc., Thpv wprn watched and either repair ed before breaking or immediately afterwards. Horses and stock, too, were of pood breeding, carefully fed, watered and attended to, so that when occasion demanded it they could produce results. Competent labor was employed at a good price, treated as human beings, given a good bed and victuals, and kindly urged to produce results, which they did nine times out of ten. Manure, lime, clover and cowpeas produced results and gave my father soil efficiency. Neighbors sometimes Laughed at him for plowing down large fields of rank clover; they said it should be made into hay. When he called upon his soil for a crop, provided the season was favorable, it was efficient. In short, my father was an efficient farmer. He took time by the forelock and did things before he was driven to do them. My father is now too old to farm, and we boys are each trying to be "a chip from the old block," for he built up a farm of 240 acres from soil poverty to one of wonderful productiveness by efficiency.?C. C. Conger, Jr., in The Progressive Farmer. Chinese Republic Must Have New Constitution Polrin/? Mau 90 /PAfrPcnnnHpnpP x vnui6r *w?. -v. ? of the Associated Press.)?The Chir nese republic must have a new cont stitution, a new election law and parliament must be reorganized, in ihc , opinion of President Fong Kuo-Chung, , and Premier Tuan Chi-jui. I An effort to achieve these object: is in progress in the sessions of tK , new National Council, called by th< premier and president for that pin pose. Most of China's governmental dif i ficulties during the last six years wer. attributed by Premier Tuan in hi address to the National Council t , imperfections in the constitution. I 3 is the desire of the president an the premier that a new constitvtio . shall be adopte (land that it shall cor, tain provisions for satisfactory cc e ordination of the executive, leg'sln tive and judicial branches of the go\ ernment. Poth officials pointed o'j in addresses to the Council that it wa absence of such provisions in th present constitution that led to th I- outbreak of numerous disorders an I- revolts which have transpired in th s, country since the beginning of th 10 attempt to organize a republic fori >n of government. n- The President and the Premier a] in parently have divergent views as 1 n- whether the new constitution shou lfi Kn Tsrftmuliraihv the Nation Coun, '? or by a new parliament to be sji he moned after the work of tn.? C >un< uh is finished. President Feng told tl Council that he sincerely hoped th >1- after it had revised the Chinese ele d- tion laws, parliament would be call nil to draft and promulgate Ine const it is, tion; but Premier Tuan urged t 85 Council itself to amend the funduiret ho al law of the Chinese state a "Unless we have a strong and sou it- government, we never wid be able In survive the struggle of the nation: 1.- declared the President. '"To form id. nation and to establish it on a fii ia- basis is a colossal task. Six years m- too short a time to prove whether g< the ernment by the people is suitable ; rth China. Therefore, I enttercain gr< of expectations for the success of y< taak."

They each gave a dollar for membership. In addition to that the people of the United States pave a cool $100,000,000. What has become of that money? H. P. Davison, head of the Red Cross work, says that only $1,500,000 of that great sum poes to payinp for the expense of administerinp the Red Cross work. The other $101,500,000 "poes to the spot." Nifty work, I should say, and few corporations in the world have so preat a net surplus to distribute in a year. Well, what does the Red Cross do with its money? It has giveh $1,000,000 for sick afld wounded French soldiers. Established twenty dispensaries in the American army zone. Distributed supplies to 3,423 French military hospitals. Gives surgical supplies to 2,000 French hospitals. Operates ten army canteens at the front. Accommodates 30,000 French soldiers daily at six other railway canteens. Creating an artificial arm and leg . factory. Building a movable hospital with , 1,000 beds. Established camps for thousands of French refugee children. ; Caring for 500 French children . daily, v/ho are sent back to France > by the Gefrman army. Built a hospital for such reparties. who are coming in f,000 a day. _ Arranging for another 1,000 hos! pital beds at Paris for victims of tu. ! berculosis.
