POSTMASTERS TO UNDERGO
TEST

Washington. March 7-Postmaster
General Burleson announced today
that after April the appointments OF
all postmasters of the first, second
and third class will be subject to COM
petitive examinations. Nominations
will. be sent to the Senate as in the
past, but in making selections the
President will be guided by the resul,
Of examinations and will send in the
names at the head of the list.
Whether the civil service commits
sion, under which fourth class post
masters are now named, will conduct
the examination, has not been deter
mined.
The Presidents forthcoming order
will provide for a form of modified
civil service classification under which
all vacancies, whether caused by re.
signation, removal or death, will be
filled by competitive examination.
Those already In the service will
continue without examination until
the expiration of four year terms be-
ginning with their last appointment
and will then, 1t is understood, have
to undergo the competitive tests.
A hornets nest was stirred up by
the announcement at the capito
where scores of members were in
their offices preparing to leave fol
home. The order was roundly de-
nounced because some of the Demo
cratic and Republican support in 6

from time lmmemorial, the spot
where the thriving City of Hick-
man now stands has been look
ed upon as one of nature forti-
flcations-both by primitive and
modern military engineers and
the most logical spot in the ad-
Jacent five states TO locate an
al'inor plant. Since Hickman has
entered the race, it stands to
reason that many of the towns
less favored by nature, will drop
out of the contest to save them
selves embarrassment and useless
expense; more especially those
towns who are forced to tolerate
saloons to keep from going
broke. 1t goes without saying
that committee, competent to
locate such an important institu-
ton as this armor plant, would
not be willing to turn loose
5000 to $4,000 employees in a
wet" town, primarily because
the government is not inclined to
engage in the erection and main
tenance of coolers" Never

his work will put him directly IN

tion, giving them the advantage
of the broad knowledge of the
science of agriculture acquired by
him in the work at the Kentucky
College of Agriculture and the
United States department of agri-
culture, together with his practi-
cal experience. OF course, once
employed, his services are free TO
every farmer who asks for them.
In some instances, his services
are not necessary, as a few farm

who still desire TO learn more a
bout the scientific methods of
agriculture, viii gain much by
having him analyse their soil,
teach them how to grow clover
in contrary fields-and in a gen
eral way, to make two ears of
corn grow where only one grew
before.
