JOB SEEKER
TELLS THINGS

An official of one of the territorial
departments is in receipt of a letter
from an applicant for a position, who
has previously been employed in some
Of the city and county departments.
The postscript gives much food for
reflection as to how some government
work is conducted. After stating his
qualifications and making application
for position, the ingenious writer
adds:
'P. S. / am willing to donate three
dollars in advance and two dollars
every month for job as an Overseer,
if there is any vacancies. have my
continuous service certificate with
me"
When the applicant was asked what
he meant by this, he stated that 1t
was the custom in the departments in
which he had been employed to make
donations for appointments.

BONA FIDE HOMESTEADERS
ARE WANTED, SAYS GOVERNOR

I'VE want to get good bona fide
homesteaders," declared Governor
Frear this morning. we do not know,
at present, who is to act in good faith
and who will not We have to open
up the Haiku lands, and the aftermath
will determine everything. We sup
pose, however, that the Haiku lots are
all taken by good homesteaders.
In answer to a question as to wheth-
er government officials could take up
land and still remain in the employ
of the government, the governor spoke
as follows:
I'VE don't think that, because a
man is a good government official, he
should be disqualified as a homestead
er. 1t is certainly no disqualification
to be a professor in an agricultural
college. 1t would be an advantage as
homesteader, one would think.
