beautiful little home in town, where
they have since resided, he having
been an employee Of the Rudd Lumber
Co. Mr.. Wright was fine example
of true rnanliness. Being honest in
his dealings everywhere he won the
respect and esteem Of his fellowmen.
He was for many years affiliated with
the I. o. o. F. lodge, and deeply ap-
preciated the kindness shown him dur
ing his illness by the members and all
others who helped to while away so
many hours. No word of complaint
ever escaped him. With great for

He was a kind, thoughtful husband
and a true friend and neighbor. He
will be greatly missed in his home and
the surrounding community. Those
left to mourn his demise are his wife,
one brother, w. N. Lowell, and one
sister, Mrs. Staples, of Libby, Mont,
besides numerous other relatives and
friends, who express their profound
sympathy to the bereaved wife.
The funeral was conducted by Rev.
Clark at the home on Monday after
noon and was largely attended. In
terment was in Oak Knoll cemetery.
"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in the home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven"
Mrs. J. E. Wright wishes to express
her deep appreciation to all who so
kindly assisted during the illness and
death of her husband. She wishes
also to extend thanks for the beauti-
full floral offerings and for the sing
ing.

New Civil Service Order.

President Harding's executive order
governing the appointment of post
masters of the first, second and third
classes is entirely consistent and will
assure the selection of competent men
for these places. 1t permits in most
cases the appointment of members of
the dominant political party, but not
at the expense of public service.
The order provides that where va
cancies occur i'm postmasterships of
these three classes, of which there are
total of about $4,000, they shall be
filled by one of the three candidates
making thte highest grades in COM
petitive examination to be conducted
under the supervision of the civil SER
vice commission. This gives the presi-
dent the right of selection, and yet
his choice is confined to one of the
three competitors making the best
showing.
This order differs from the one is
sued by President Wilson on October
8, 1920, throwing the cloak of civil
service protection about postmasters,
in that it permits the president to
choose from the three highest, while
the Wilson order required that in the
event Of a vacancy the candidate who
made the highest mark in the COM
petitive examination must be ap-
pointed. The Wilson order was not
made until the democratic party had
been in power nearly eight years and
was firmly cntrenched in the post
offices. The loaves and fishes of poll
tics were in full possession of the dem
ocrats. A few republicans held office
just enough to give verisimilitude to
the claim of Postmaster General
Burleson that the dominant party had
virtuously disregarded partisan con.
siderations. Then the lid was clamped
on so tightly that it was anticipated
that democratic incumbents would be
impossible of dislodgmcnt.
1t is no secret that great pressure
has been brought to bear on President
Harding since March 4 to influence
him to rescind the Wilson order and
leave the postoffices as fair fruits Of
political victory, as they had been pre-
viously, especially those offices of the
first and second classes, carrying sal.
laries Of $4,000 to $4,000. The meth
DDS pursued by the previous admins
tration in gobbling the offices before
applying the civil service rule gave a
material basis for this argument, but
President Harding has pcrsistently and
sincerely endeavored in the distribu-
ton Of Offices to secure the best men
available, and he declined to make an
exception in this case. Consequently
with the assistance of his Postmaster
General, he evolved the fair and just
rule which he has promulgated as an
executive order governing the ap-
pointment of postmasters. ashing-
ton Post.

Clubs Elucidated.
Chas. c. Hickman, county agent Of
Sherburne county, sends the Union
the following articles for publication:
What Cow Testing Association Is.
A county cow-testing association is
an organization of farmers who have
associated themselves together for the
following purposes:
To hire a man known as a cow tes-
ter who will visit the farm of each
member Of the association once each
month.
This cow tester is to test the milk
from each of the cows when he visits
the herd. Testing will be done both
morning and night at the regular milk
ing time.
The tester will also weigh the feed
of each cow and calculate the cost
Of feeding her per month. He
will also calculate the gross, returns
made by each cow during this period.
This will be done for each month of
the year so the farmer will have a
complete record of every COW in his
herd and will know definitely the fol-
lowing information:
What it costs to keep each cow for
one year.
The value of the returns from each
COW.
The net profit or loss on each COW.
> The amount of milk and butterfat
each cow has given during the year.
Whether each COW is profit max
er or a profit consumer.
Those wishing to enter the Sher-
burne County Contrasting association
for the coming year should notify the
Sherburne County Farm Bureau office.
Members are now being signed up for
the coming year, which will start July
l. The cost will be 81 per cow per
year on basis of not less than ten
cows each or not more than 20 cows
together.

FOUR WORLD POWERS IN
A NEW PEACE ENTENTE
QuadrupIe Entente May Take Place
Of the Anglo-Jap ALI.
ance.

Washington. d. C.-The draft OF a
q%uadruple entente which would serve
as a substitute for the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, it was learned from authori-
tative sources, is now under consider.
alton by the governments Of the Unit.
ed States, Great Britain, Japan and
France.
This is said to explain the delay OF
the Japanese government in announc-
ing it's decision concerning the ques.
ton Of the ratio of naval tonnage be-
cause it appears that as the problem
of warship tonnage is connected with
national policy, the two matters are
being discussed together. There was
a growing impression that if the en-.
tente can be worked out satisfactorily
Japan would not insist upon her re.
quest for a 70 per cent ratio of capi'
tai ships as against the 60 per cent
suggested in the American proposals.
The inclusion Of France in the pre-
liminary negotiations for the entente
has attracted special interest. 1t has
not been disclosed whether the terms
of the proposed agreement would be
of the nature to satisfy France with
reference to her situation in Europe,
or whether the entente would merely
be a regional accord affecting the far
east.

End OF Sensational Case.

Richmond, Va.-Dr. Wilmer Amos
Hadley, former army surgeon and
ranchman, was put to death in the
electric chair In the state penitenti-
airy for the murder Of his wife, Mrs.
Sue Tinsiey Hadley. In November.
1918. Prison attendants declared Had.
ley went to his death calmly and
stoically.
DR.. Hadley made no statement be-
fore his death further than to say The
had made peace with God" and was
prepared for the end.
The execution closed On of the most
sensational murder cases In the his.
tory of Richmond.
Mrs. Hadley's body was found IN
the James river, near Richmond, on
December 80, 1918, by a negro trap
per, and was identified by the wo
mans sister several weeks later. A
search for DIR. Hadley was begun by
local authorities, which carried them
through many states and parts of Can
ada and he finally was apprehended
on a ranch in New Mexico. At the
time of his arrest he was in disguise
and under an assumed name. He wac
taken to Denver, Colo, where, ac'
cording to the Henrico county author
tiles, he made a written confession
that he had killed his wife.
This confession was used against
him in his trial. In the confession he
declared he also shot a mysterious
DIR. Griffin a fellow surgeon in the
army, but an investigation proved this
to be unfounded, which Hadley fin.
ally admitted.
From the time Of his arrest last
August until his death DR.. Hadley
maintained a taciturn calmness and
indifference.
