THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

Letters OF recommendation should
be- brief and definite, one positive
statement of what YOU have done be-
ing worth a dozen glitterins gener-
alities. one of the best testimonials
/ ever saw read like this;
"Mr.-- has been In our em-
ploy for five years, lie is leaving
because we cannot afford to pay him
more than $500. and he is easily
worth a higher salary. We are sor-
ry to see him go as he is a competent
civil engineer, and we shall have diff
ficulty in filling his place
Former employers are the strong
est references you can give; teach
ers are the next best; friends, rela-
tlyes and acquaintance carry tho
least weight.
I know OF one candidate for po-
sition who prepared typewriter
blanks, similar to the printed ones
used by bonding companies and high
grade employment agencies, for the
convenience of the men whose recon-
mendations he sought On these
sneets he tabulated series Of defi-
mite questions regarding his charac-
ter, qualifications and experience.
Three or four blanks, like these filled
out and signed by reputable business
men, carry more weight than a dozen
letters of the usual type.
In preparing such an outline it is
we'll to use such pointed questions as:
Why did he leave? Have you ever
known him to be suspected Of (a)
intemperance, % gambling, (c) 'exj
travagance, Cd dishonesty? Has the
applicant ever been discharged?
would you yourself employ him?
In addition to a number of such
definite questions, give the man
whose recommendation Is asked an
opportunity to write additional in
formation and remarks that may he

Chadron, Nebo June William
J. Bryan opened the second week of
his Nebraska tour at Chadron, where
he addressed an early morning
crowd, which met the train. In an
interview he said he was glad the
Democrats opposed the emergency
currency measure and sorry they did
not succeed in defeating the bill.
The currency bill, though called
an emergency measure, said Bryan,
has been pushed through as part of

secure change in the basis of bank
notes, he indicated he would more
fully express his objections to the
measure at later date.

CFrom Mondays DailyD

ChildrcBs took an easy one yesier-
day afternoon at Glonwood park
from team which Manager Robbins
had been able TO pick mp in the scant
two hours notice given after the
game was finally arranged. The lo-
cal bunch dld the best they could
under the circumstance bat the yis-
itors had no difficulty in stacking
up eleven runs to the locals ono,
Winfield Jumped the Schedule.
The games saturday and Sunday
had been scheduled with Winfield,

accordingly The Kansas team has
been on q trip down TO towns In the
Southwest and played Friday at Ca

to have como to Amarillo but the
Jayhawkcrs seem to have been over
come at Canadian with homcsick-
ness or buck aguc or some such NAL
ady for they jumped their schedule
without so much ms writing, wiring
or asking anybody else TO write or
wire the management Of the Amarillo
team. As a result the Amarillo man
agcment had to announce Saturday
afternoon after a considerable crowd
had gone out to the park that there
would be no game.
Communications were at once be-
gun TO get another team to fiji the
date but It was not until late yes
terday that Il was certain another
team would be here. As result sew
oral of tho strongest Amarillo men
went with tho excursion party to Clio
Wis to SEQ the r. V-Cloyis game.
with team hurricdly picked from
what was left, Manager Robbins went
into the game yesterday and although
the performance was in something
like & class, the big crowd of fans
that saw It appreciated the situation
and enjoyed the game
Yesterday was the first time that
the new park had been used for a
game and the experience makes the
mark look Ike a good proposition
The street car company had some
difficulty in handling the crowds but
managed to haul about all who wish
ed TO travel that way. When the
new open cars which arc expected TO
arrive in a few days, are put into
service, the company will be able to
handle big crowds for the park.

Next Sunday, Clovis, with the big
gest crowd of out Of town rootcrs
that ever attended game in ANA
rillo, will he on hand for a match
with the p. V. team. The Clovis
bunch has already chartered a train
for the event and according to all re
ports is going to be here with a
large noise. SO far Clovis has been
victorious in every game played with
the railroadcrs, but the office boys
believe that on the home ground and
with tho improvement they can make
TINS week, they can pull out vic
tory At any rate the teams arc
evenly enough matched to lend OK
citcment to the game and as the
players understand each other per-
fcctly the game will be fast and
clean.

EXCHANGE COMMENT.
Let's Forget En-.

By all means let us all hope that
when Count Boni and Prince Helie
meet tho count will give the prince
that much promised thrashing and
have 1t over with.
After that may we not hope, even
pray, that the cables and telegraph
wires shall cease TO vibrate with the
nauseous slush about what either
the coun or be prince may do to each
other, or 10 themselves hereafter. II
ever the people OF the United States
we're SUBJECTED with dispatches about
the insignificant dongs of insignif-
cant creatures OF the Boni and Helie
type 1t has beenaduring the past four
months and especially since Madam
Gould and her children came over to
see her brother and sister in New
York.
What we want now is relief from
all such tommyrot. We don't care
whether Boni slaps Hello on the
wrists or whether Helie swats Boni
in the snoot What we desire more
than anything else is to forget all
about them, to let them so their in
consequential ways without even so
much as reminder that such crea-
lures exist anywhere on earth
The newspapers in the United
States could soon put an end to all
such slush by refusing to publish it,
and would earn the gratitude of 99.9
per cent OF the reading public by so
doing. Readers Of newspapers in the
United States are saying everywhere,
give us a rest on this silly stuff
about the so-called nobility" to
which we say amen!

Whereas, a baseball game is ad-
vertised to be played in Merkel by
women, we the ladies of the Woman's
Home Mission society Of Methodist
Episcopal church, South, deeply re-
greet that such a thing should have
ever been thought of in our town,
and most respectfully beg of all the
citizens OF Merkel not to attend this
game, but to discourage 1t in every
way possible.--Merkel Mail.
The ladies of Merkel are right In
their protest against that proposed
ball game, but IL 1t is pulled off it is
