Since returning from his trip to the

where he was rain-bound IN "dry"
farming section for several days he
"a better booster than ever for red
rock. Between Agate and Limon
he struck stretch Of road that had
been given layer Of red rock. On
each side of this improved road
there were all kinds of ruts and the
road was fierce. When he got on
the red rock it WAS like travelling on

TRADE at honle''
Works Two WAYS

We hear lot Of talk about trad
ing at home. Country papers all
over the United States keep hammer
ing away at the mail order houses,
seeking to turn the trade to home
concerns In doing this the papers
usually act upon the suggestion or
the desire Of the home town business
man. Trading at home is a mighty
good policy. It builds up home
concerns. Prosperity to local bust
ness institutions means prosperity
for the town-for every property
owner and resident Of the town.
Some folks expect newspaper t,
boost for home trade-then insist
in undermining the newspaper by
getting their job printing done out
of town. In nearly every town the
banks will tell you to trade at home.
keep the money among your neigh
bors and add to the per capita
wealth Of the community. Then
The banks and SOME business people
kiss their dollars goodbye and send
them out Of town to cut rate print
ers. Here in Arvada we are just
finishing two nice sized jobs for the
First National Bank, turned out at
a live and let live price. II you are
for Arvada trade at home-and
in trading at home don't overlook
your home town printer.

Law Enforcement
About Waste Water

County Commissioner O. N. Evans
has asked US to call the attention of
farmers to the fact that there is a
penalty against running ditch water
in the roads. Many people run
water in the road and think it is the
duty of the county to take care J.
this water. This is not so. The
only way to keep taxes down is to
cooperate with the county commits
sieners and conserve county funds.
Persons who run water in the road
are violating section 1926 Chapter
l23 Of the revised statutes Of Colo
RADIO which reads AZ follows:

Here's Some Straight Dope About
Making Postoffice Appointments

There has been considerable spec
ulation in Arvada in regard TO the
postoffice situation. It 10 rumored
there are some aspirants for the
position, and some people have the
idea that change may be made
soon. Postmaster Newton's term
does not expire for more than year
yet, as we understand It, and since
the office il under civil service the
appointment Of his successor will
have to be made from the three per.
sons having the highest grades, re-
gardless Of politics. The following
from President Harding explains the
matter Of selection Of postmasters:
White House, May 10, 1921
When vacancy exists or here
after occurs in the position Of post
master at an office Of the first,
second, or third class, Il, such vac
ancy is not filled by noniaAt'on Of
some person within the competitive
classified civil service who has the
required qualifications, then the
Postmaster General shall certify the
fact to the Civil Service Comm 'ssion
which shall forthwith hold an open
competitive examinstion to test the
fitness of applicants to fill such
vacancy, and when such examina-
ton has been held and the papers
In connection Herewith hase been
rated, the said commission shsf
certify the results thereof to the
Postmaster General, who shall sub
NIT to the President the name Of
one of the highest three quaifisd
elisibles for appointment to III such
vacancy, unless It ID established that
the character or rssidence Of any
such applicant disqualifies him for
appointment: Provided, That At the
expiration Of ~ Ae1nz 81. snY, ~,
son appointed to such position thru
examination before the Civil Service
C Commission, the Postmaster General
may, in his discretion, submit the
name Of such person to the Presi'
dent for denomination without fur

The successful operation Of the prin-
ciplss Of civil service law has de-
nsonstratsd the wisdom of this pro-
vlsion. This leaves In the appoint
ing power, who has the ultimate re-
sponsibility for efficient administra-
aon. the necessary constitutional
right Of choice. This right Of .selec-
ton Ia the kind Of responsibility
which cannot legally be and is not
abridged by act Of Congress, and is
in exact harmony with the spirit Of
the civil service principle.
!, There are 52,S32 postmasters
OF these, S9,433 are in the fourth
class, and are now under such civil
service laws and regulations and
condition Of the classified service.
OF the remaining 1880 pest Of
fees, 700 are first class, 2,6l7 are
second class, and 9,ES2 ara th'r'
class. Obviously these offices are
business agencies Of ire Govern
ment in legal purpose and shsu|' be-
come 10 in fact. The only "ert'i'
ultimate way to bring this about il
to classify first, second and third
class postmasters. This will require
an act Of Congress. It is step
forward measured by the require
ments Of progress. and is one which
I hope will be made. Under exist
Ing laws the Executice has no power
to require that these offices he
placed In the classified service.
