BENEFIT IN CHICKEN RAISING. Leads to Development of BrotherIy
 Love, According to Writer.

If you want to give me real pleas urc." said the genial man, just set mo down among a group of amateur chicken raisers. Their conversation is a study in brotherly love. More than any other set of people they are willing, even anxious, to help each other. Professional men and men en- gagged in the trades do not, when talk ing together, sound the note of mutual helpfuness. Each man keeps his secrets of success to himself. Now and then one may drop hint that may by chance prove valuable to his hearers, but he doesn't mean to do even that, because the rule is for each to work out his own salvation.
 Amateur chicken raisers, on the other hand, are inspiring examples of altruism. When one discovers a new cure for the pip he hastens to spread the information among his friends and neighbors who are also wrestling with the pip proposition. If another man hits upon a new idea in feeding or matching he never rests till he gives his brother chicken raisers chance to profit by his discovery. Commu- ters who live in a chicken raising com munity exhibit a friendliness of spirit that is foreign to commuters from chickenless neighborhoods. They have their incubators, the relative value of different breeds of fowls, and the possibility of premiums at the next county fair to talk about, and so cultivate a spirit of kindly courtesy unknown to persons engaged in other pursuits"

PRESIDENT ISSUES ORDER
Not Yet Applied to All States of the
Union.
YER $4,000 ARE AFFECTED
Means Life Job for Those Who Be-
have-Congressmen Objected to
Loss of Patronage

From the White House have been ISSUED
executive orders putting into effect the
long-contempated plan of classifyins
fourth-class postmasters through the
country.
The order at first is applied only to
it was explained by Postmaster General
Meyer. and that is why it does not include
every state.
The order. though promulgated today.
was signed yesterday. Over 5000 fourth
class postmasters are affected
Tried in Some States.
The first order of the President amends
schedule A. subdivision v. paragraph T.
of the civil service. so as to put under the
classified service the fourth-class post
masters in the states of Maine New
Hampshire. Vermont Massachusetts,
Rhode Island. Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana.
Illinois. Wisconsin and Michigan
This includes all the states from Maine
to the Mississippi river north of the
Ohio. None of the western or southern
or Pacific coast states is included
If the experiment proves satisfactory
1t is presumed President-elect Taft. some
time in his administration, will classify
the postn:asters in the other states.
The second executive order of the
President provides that vacancies in
post offices in the states named may be
filled by the Post Office Department in
the usual way. pending the preparation
of civil service rolls. which Is expected
to become a tremendous work in the
civil service commission
Order Of the President.
The order of the President is as fol-
lows:
"Fourth-class .postmasters having been
classified in certain states and time being
necessarily required before any positions
in such offices can be filled by examina-
tfon and certification from the civil serv-
Ice commission. any vacancy in such post
ohices occurring prior to the time at
which the civil Aervice commission shall
certify to the Post ONCE Department
that 1t Is able to hold examinations and
make certificates to such positions may
be filled by the Post Office Department
without examination
1TdCC1cdlly Lie JoOS.
If the scheme now undertaken becomes
permanent it tmeans that fourth-clas SIS
postmasters now in office. especially in the
states named. will become holders of life
jobs so long as their behavior is up to the
civil service standard and they do not
get to monkeying too openly in politics
When the question of classifying these
officials was under consideration by the
President. year or so ago, there was
much resentment from congressman who
build up their machines by post office
patronage. Congress must pass upon the
granting of appropriations to the civil serv-
ice commission to carry out the plans of
the President
The securing of civil service eligible
lists in the states named will be a big
and somewhat costly job, and will require
larger appropriations than ever from Con-
gress.
