The mu¬ sic in tho morning was especially good and great credit is due the organist and choirmaster and the large volun¬ teer choir.

Nassau To Have
a Farm Bureau
Mineola, L. I., April 7—Nassau County will have a farm bureau es¬ tablished at Mineola within a very short time as a result of the action of the Board of Supervisors Monday in voting to appropriate $1600 for the use of the bureau for the ensuing year.
The bureau was secured through the efforts of the Farm Committee of the Nassau County Aasociation, the mem¬ bers of which appeared at the meeting of the Board Mthough the expense of establishing thin bureau will amount to approximately $4000 this year, the State of New York will contribute $600 and the remainder of the amount will be secured by private subscrip tions.
Two v/eeks ngo Henry Underbill and former Congressman William W. Cocka, representing tbe farm commit¬ tee, appeared before the Supervisors and urged that an appropriation be made by that body. The members of the county board made a careful inves¬ tigation of conditions in the counties in the State where similar bureaus were established, and in every instance they received glowing accounts of the success ot the work.
Monday the two members who ap¬ peared before the supervisors previous¬ ly were accompanied by Eliwood V.Ti¬ tus, president of the Long Island Far¬ mers' Club, and again made their re¬ quest for an appropriation. It was stated by the committee tbat next year it will not be necessary for the county to contribute so much, as the United States Government will make a contri¬ bution of $1200 annually.
The movement was started too late this year, and the money provided by tbe National Government for this pur- paose has been exhausted. Witb the bureau properly established tbis year proper representations will be made to tbe Government sufficiently early for tbe bureau to secure a share of the money given by tbe National Govern¬ ment.
It is proposed to establish an office at Mineola and one of tbe best experts will be secured. The committee made the statement that a man experienced not only in agricultare, but alao in horticulture and the dairy business, will be secured. Tbere were a namber of taxpayers present wbo indorsed tbe movement, notably Fred H. Maidmcnt, wbo urged the Supervisors to appro¬ priate all the money required so that it will not be necesaary for tbe farm committee to solicit private contribu¬ tions.
Tbe board announced finally that, as the bureau was in a sense an experi¬ ment, it would paaa a reaolotion au¬ thorizing the expenditure of |1600, and the members voted unanimously to make this appropriation.
Tbe bureau will be for the benefit of all the residents of the coanty, and the expert will toar the county and give practical demonstrations in all tbe de¬ partments of agriculture and horticul¬ ture. He will be in consultation with State Agriculture Department of Cor¬ nell Univeraity, tbe State Department at Albany and the Geneva Experiment¬ al sution.

Examination
for Postmaster
Under the executive order isoued by President Wilson on May 7, 1913,   re-; quiring competitive   examinations   by \ the United States Civil  Service   Com¬ mission for the position of postmaster at all fourth-class postcffices, at which the annual   compensation   is   $180   or more, and at which the present incum¬ bent   was   not   appointed   under   civil : service regulations,   dates   bave   been ' set for the examinations in New   York ' State. ' On May 16   the  examinaitons ! will be held in   Brooklyn,   Manhattan, '¦ towns and villages on Long Island and ; elsewhere throughout the State.
On Long   Island   tbe   examinations \ will be held at   Babylon,   Bay   Shore, Greenport,    Huntington,     Riverhead, Sayville, Southampton,  Northport and Patchogue. ,
Postmasters for tbe following Long Island towna will be chosen from tbose who pass the examination: Amagan¬ sett, Bellmore, Blue Point, Brookhav¬ en, Gatchogue, East Moriches, East Northport, East Patchogue, Eaat Rock¬ away, Great River, Qreen Lawn, Hampton, Moriches, Old Westbury, Plandome, Port Jefferson, Station, Quogue, Smithtown, Steny Point, Sy- osaet. Wading River, Water Mill, West Hampton, Weat Sayville,  Wyandanch.
The United SUtes Civil Service Commission annooocea that while it has no difficalty in securing soflicient female atenograpbers and typewriters to meet the needs of the departments at Washington, the supply of male eligibles bas not been equal to the de¬ mand. Yoong men wbo are at leaat 18 years of age and wbo are willhig to accept tbe usual entrance salaries, whieb are $840 and $900 a year, have excellent opportunities for appoint¬ ment. Wbile the entrance salaries are low, advancement is reasonably rapid to those meriting it. Tbe examina¬ tions wbich any competent atenogra¬ pher aboald be able to pass, are h<>ld each month in the year, except Decem¬ ber, at the principal cities of tbe Uu- ited^tatea. ^
Penna. Station
Alterations to coat $800,000 are be¬ ing made iv. the part of the Pennsyl¬ vania Station, Seventh Avenue and Thirty third Street, Manhattan, devot¬ ed to the Long Island passenger traffic, which is said to have doubled in the last year.
There is being built over the raiU used by the Long Island trains an ad¬ dition to the loading concourse which will increase the area forty-seven feet in length and 125 feet in width. Tbis is the second addition which has been made tbere since the station was opened.
The improvement must be completed by Decoration <Day. An estimate ia being made of the average number of passengers who go through the gates Jaetween 4 and 7 in the afternoon. The indications are that nearly 20,000 reg¬ ularly leave the city for Long Island points in those hours.
It is expected   that on  busy   days, when Long Beach, Far Rockaway  and such resorts hold  forth   their charms 5000 persons can be assembled   in   tha { new concourse |
W. H. Egan, station  master,   said:! "This increase is noticeable especially in the electrified zone.    It is po<>sible, for instance, for a commuter to go to Jamaica from this  station in eighteen minutes.    A passenger   can  go  from Seventh    Avenue     and     Thirty third Street, Manhattan, to   Port   Washing-1 ton in thirty-five minutes.    When one compares such schedules as  this   with '• the length of time required to   get   to i parts of the City of   New   York   it  is not hard to see why we are   in   danger | of being overwhelmed by business  on; the Long Island Railroad." '
Probation
Officer Urged!
¦¦<- CharlesF. Schutes. representing the; State Probation Commission, appeared! before the Board of Supervisors of| NasHsii County Monday and urged that; body to create the office of county pro-! bation officer. There bas been consid- j erable talk that the board intended to' create this office, and many of the as- j sociatinns for the betterment of civic i conditions in the county have at differ-i ent times urged the appointment ofaj probation officer. j
Mr. Schutes   in   urging   the   county! board to create   this   oiifice   admitted that not all the counties in   the   State had taken this action, but he laid stress on the importance of a salaried official, particularly   in   a   rural   county.    He pointed out that   Nassau   County   was the ninth county in size that did   have i this official.    He emphasized   the   im- j portance of this   office   and   made   thei statement that of   the  cases   reported j by tho probation officers in   the   State ¦ 70 per cent, ot those who   were  given I in charge of  the   officials  made  good citizens.    From   an   economic   stand¬ point, he urged that the county   would j make a saving by the  appointment  of this official, as the first offenders would not be a charge   upon   the   taxpayers. The State Commission  was   moved  to make the request for  the   cmatioH  of this office because of the many   letters it has received from   the  residents  of the county.
Chairman Phillip J. Chriat, speak¬ ing for the Board of Supervisors, said that while be recognized the import¬ ance of having a salaried probation ofl!icer, tl^e Board did not think it ahould take the initiative in the mat¬ ter. The chairman requested the rep¬ iesentative of the State Commission to secure a recommendation from County Judge James P. Niemann and tbe jadiciary, and if this recommenda¬ tion were made tbe Board will then take some definite action on the mat¬ ter.
