That German soldiers are wearing gar

commissioner of live stock for Japan,
who is in this country for the purpose
OF securing ten million head of sheep
to start the wool growing industry in

entirely without wool.

Some of the Democrats in Keokuk
Are Hoping at Least to Change
Wilson's Mandate on tho
Postoffice Job.
SEVERAL CANDIDATES
There is General Belief, However,,
That Party Rule viii
Prevail as
Usual.

Local democrats, so the street. COS
sip goes, are doubling Thomasss
these DAYS. Perhaps all the douDt Is
not confined to democrats, either. 10
Judge from comments from other par
tisans. and republicans as well are
little bit interested in watching the
postofflce situation here. The demo
Gratis, gossip has it, are not quite
ready to believe that the presidential
order for an examination for the post
office job will stand. They are conn
dent that it will be revoked, and tnat
the appointment Of successor TO 4.
iP. McManus will be through str1ctly
political channels, as in the past
Some of the democrats, and not
few republicans, believe that Wilson
order will not be set aside just for q
handful of party members here, ana
that the plum will go to the applicant
with the highest grade in the civil
service examination which the presI-
Dental order provides for. Others,
however, are clamoring for party rec
ognition, and are openly declaring that
the order will never be allowed to
stand. providing. of course, the proper
pressure is brought to bear.
With all this gossip going around,
however, there are plenty OF men who
are saving wood, and saying nothing.
They are quietly watching things,
practically sure that the order will
stand, and are getting into shape so
far as they can to pass the examina-
ton. Among the men mentioned who
will take the examination are G. Wal
ter Barr, Henry Pechstein and j. A.
Hennemann. j. F. Elder has been
mentioned by friends as a candidate.
and John e. Craig and ]. W. Town
send were mentioned, although both
of these men, it is understood. will not
be candidates, both being over the
age limit prescribed in the order.
There are others who will take the ex-
animation, IL the presidents order
stands.
Before any candidate can qualify
for examination, he must file certain
application papers which will show
his qualifications. It is probable that
executive experience will be one of
the high cards demanded as qualif-
cation for the place. This preliminary
step is taken in all civil service ex-
aminations.
