SENATE'S
ACTION
Postmaster Barefoot Shows How Il Would
Improve Service to Place POstmasters
Under Civil Service

The announcement from Washing
ton that President Wilson had given
his approval to the senate's amend
ment to the legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive appropriation bill which will
put every postmaster in the country
under civil service, was received with
considerable interest by postoffice Of
ficials and employees.
Disregarding his personal interest
in the matter Postmaster G. w. Bare
foot strongly endorses the bill He
thinks it is a step in the right direc-
tion, one which is calculated to inn
prove the service in a great degree.
"This measure is going to work
good in this way he said this morn
ing. "The very moment it passes it
will make it possible for any clerk in
tbs effsce to become postmaster. Then
would it not make every clerk in there
strive to reach that grade of efficien-
cy where he will have a chance TO get
it? When the clerk is striving to
reach this goal he certainly is going
to render good service. AS it is now
the clerk has no show at all, for this
reason-he is under the civil service,
he can take no stock in politics and
as long as it is a political office he
can help nobody be elected, so where
does his chance come in?"

otic women. And ii you think the men
at Camp Dodge do not appreciate the

And not single sweater or knitted
piece was sold to the soldiers. That's
a pure bunk story started by Kaiser
lovers. there is one gossip who will
soon find out. to her sorrow:
She wrote a letter to a woman i'll
Des Moines staying that another wo'
man had told her she had knitted a
sweater for a certain soldier at Camp
Dodge, that he failed to receive it and
that when she went to the camp she
found an officer wearing it. She knew
it was the sweater she knit because
she pulled a secret string in the col.
lar and ten dollar bill she had sent
to the soldier fell out.
The federal grand jury in session
here has summoned that woman to ap'
pear before it to show cause. II any,
why she should not be adjudged gull
ty of aiding the enemy and be made
to pay penalty according, heavy fine.
