Harding Indicates
 Patronage Policy
Libsralizes Wilson's Rule For Select ing Postmasters By Exami-
 nation.-

Washington, May 10.-Civil Ser vice restrictions governing the choice of postmasters were modified by President Harding today to give the administration a freer hand in ex- ercising it's judgment in regard to the qualifications of applicants.
 In an executive order affecting approximately 13,000 postoffices of the first. second and third classes, the president authorized the selec- tion of any one of the first three of the eligible list as determined by open competitive examinations. Un- der an order of President Wilson the executive could exercise no such choice, but was required to appoint the applicant standing at the head of the list.
 President Harding issued state- ment saying that the new arrange ment had been decided upon be- cause it would permit such elements as business training and experience 70 rigure in the selection of post masters and would not stake the choice merely on "a cloistered, scholastic examination which might result in a high grade in the ordi- nary, but not guaranty in eff ciency in fact"
 The president also said that a choice among the first three al- ready is permitted for fourth class postmasterships. under permanent civil service regulations as fixed by law. He expressed the hope that Congress would extend these per manent regulations to all post masterships by bringing them under the classified civil service. E
 Today's action was the first inn portant step taken by the new ad- ministration in regard to the gen eral problem of patronage.

Stock LalU Repent
 Died On Calendag

The special act introduced in the house by Col. J. E. Wood, providing for the repeal of the stock law so far as it affected Oak Forest and Spring Creek townships failed to pass, it has. just been discovered. Col. Wood introduced the repeal bill in accordance with a referendum vote he took in these two town ships. The measure went through the house and was sent to the sen ate and read twice. Senator Deitch assured Col. Wood, the latter says, that the bill passed the senate, but recently it has been found this was a mistake. Senator Deitch proba- bly, got this repeal bill confused with another repeal bill applying to Bear Creek and Hardy townships which did pass the senate and is now a law, effective January 1, 1922.

To Probe Needs
 Of Er-SOldiers

Washington, May 8.--A Congres- sional investigation into conditions respecting the health, hospitaliza- tion, compensation and employment and legislation advisable to promote the welfare of former soldiers, sail ors and marines is provided in a resolution introduced in the Senate today by Senator Robinson of Ar kansas.
 In offering the resolution he said:
 "The failure of Congress to deal comprehensively and systematically with just and necessary legislation respecting former service men IS not due to indifference or opposi- ton to the accomplishment of those purposes. It may be truthfully said that the sentiment in favor of such action is universal in both houses. Widespread complaint and criticism is heard, particularly as to hospital ization and compensation. Delay and confusion will continue until the subject is dealt with compre- hensively and scientifically. Hun dreds of bills have been introduced and referred to various committees contemplating more or less whole some action in piecemeal. The wise and sensible course is to study the subject as a whole and thus deal with it promptly and intelligently.
 This commission quickly can fa- miliarize itself with the information available in the Bureau of War Risk insurance, the Public Health Service and in the possession of the representatives of the American Legion, and devise a well considered plan which ought to meet with gen eral approval"

Mothers Day'' Fittingly
 ObserUed In Mariar1na

Sunday" Mothers Day" - was an occasion in Marianna to stir to the depths the hearts of those who are striving to instll into the lives of men and women and boys and girls the high principles of Christ ianity and correct living. No such outpouring of the Spirit of the Master was ever witnessed here. The tender sentiments that cluster around the name of 'Mother" seem- ed to pervade all the people, and white and red roses and carnations were profusely in evidence, attest ing the fact that it was the day of all days when Mother was enshrined in the hearts of the people.
 Record breaking crowds gathered at the churches and participated in the Sunday School and church ser vices. The total attendance at the white Sunday Schools was 932- the largest in the history of Mari anna. The Baptist church led with 373. The Methodist had 26s. the Presbyterian 129, the Christian LII, and the Episcopalians 51. Contri- buttons were more liberal than usual, all the superintedents re- porting big increases. At the Bap- tist church the offering amounted to S81-a special collection for the pipe organ fund. The pastors de- livered sermons appropriate to the spirit of the day, emphasizing the wonderful influence the Mothers of the world have had upon the race. At the close of the services at he Baptist church there were 38 addi- tions to the membership roll IT by letter and 21 by profession.
 Rev. Saylor of the Christian church, Rev. Johnston of the Pres byterian church, Rev. Burke of St. Andrews church, and Rev. House of the Methodist church all report morning.
 At the evening hour W. L.. Brown, Marianna boy who is now studying for the ministry in the theological seminary in Louisville, Ky, delivered a most excellent ser mon.
 The big feature of the day, how ever, was the masterful address de- livered at the Methodist church on Sunday evening by Bishop F. D. Mouzon. A man of most command ing appearance, pulpit orator with few equals, theologian of national renown, a minister filled with the Spirit of God and with the gift of wonderful expression-he captivat- ed the great audience that filled every available nook and corner of the church. He spoke in the inter- est of the Methodist campaign for Christian education, directing his discourse along the lines that there must be morality in the individual and in the nation if the individual is to be happy and if the nation is to live and prosper. It was a pow erful plea for the recognition and practice of the fundamental prin- ciples of life laid down in the Bible the only true and correct guide for the conduct of the human race. He called attention to the deplora- ble tendencies of the times to get away from God and forsake the teachings of Jesus Christ, and sound ed a clarion call to all true men and women to save the family life and save the nation from the fate that has befallen all people who have forsaken God.
 Bishop Mouzon and his wife came to Marianna Sunday afternoon from Helena. They remained here until Monday morning when they left for Pine Bluff.

Gasoline Dealers
 To File Reports

County Clerk E. W. King calls at tention to the fact that all retail dealers in gasoline in Lee county are required under the new law to pay a tax of one cent a gallon on all gasoline sold for use in motor vehicles and that it is necessary that dealers file q report with the coun- ty clerk giving the total sales for each month. This report must be filed not later than the tenth of the month following. For example, the report of the April sales should have been filed not later than May 10. Only a few dealers have com piled with the law, doubtless through ignorance. It is imperative that in future these reports be filed by the tenth, otherwise the penalty will be automatically att tached to all deiinquents.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT

The committee that has been out for several days last week and this week enlisting business firms in the Dollar Day organization failed to see the heads of three or four firms. The committee wishes to announce that this does not mean these firms are not wanted. Their full CO., operation is desired and if those who are not now signed up will call upon c. F. Gambrell and make the payment of the amount assessed their names will be added to the list.
 It is highly important that all firms who are to participate in the Dollar Day festival turn in their advertising copy to Mir. Gambrell not later than Tuesday of next week. The space allotted to each firm IS necessarily limited. There is only sufficient room for the firm name and one or two Dollar Day Specials.

West Point is still actually a class
