The bill provides that the duties
~ every position In the govern.
mcnt service shall be specified and
classified according 60 service, rang
ing from the professional and scien-
tlflc 10 unskillcd labor. with grades
defined according 20 requirements
and qualifications, and with rates
Of pay and rules for promotion ac-
cordng 20 proved ability, irrcsnec-
tive OF sex.
The legislation Is designed 20
correct conditions disclosed by the
Congressional Joint Reconsideration
Commission, which found that patch
work legislation dealing with gov
eminent machinery and personnel
had brought about condition
where as many as n dozen different
rates Of pay exist for the same
work, promotions on merit are
blocked, professional workers are
paid less than common labor, wo-
men are paid less than men for the
same work or work Of comparable
skill, and wholesale lack Of stand
ards and uniformity in employment
policy is increasing the operating
costs Of the government, as well A.
destroying its efficiency.
The Senate Committee proposes
some amendments 20 the reclassifi-
cation bill as passed by the House.
Most important Of these are the
substitution Of the T. s. Civil Serv-
ice Commission for the Bureau OF
the Budget as the classifying ad-
illustrative agency, and the re-
storation Of the higher rates OF pay
originally proposed in the House
bill for the professional and scicn-
tific services, but not adopted by
the House. To the list Of pro-
fessional occupations are added edi-
tors, illustrators, nurses and trans
pOrtation experts.
For the field services, such as
customs, immigration, lighthouse,
steamboat inspection, coast guard,
internal revenue, army and navy
stations, government locks and dams
Beterans' Bureau, reclamation, for
est, fisheries, penitentiaries, courts,
Indian schools, custodian forces In
public buildings, etc, the bill pro
vides that insofar as the classifi-
cation and compensation schedules
in the bill are not applicable 10 field
positions, the latter shall be at once
surveyed by the classifying agency.

due consultation and study as %
duties, responsibilities and qualifi-
cations, the classification thus ar
rived at 10 be reported TO Congress
as soon as possible for action.
Other important features of the
bill are provision for transfer Of

LETTERS FROM A MISSIONARY

In China there Is shrine on
every hill and I'm every valley 10

to keep the spirits out And I see
little children toddling along the
street with bells tied around their
ankles and charms about their necks
to keep away the spirits II a 700
ther wishes 70 say that her baby is
sweet and pretty she says It in a
whisper so the spirit won't hear
and take the baby away.
Most Of the teachers I'm the Lam

school to which all are required to
come. SO whether they are Chris
tian or not. they are learning some
thing about the Bible.
will tell you about the rag
Industry as / see q every morning
There Is a section about three quar-
ters OF a mile long that | walk
through on my way to school, where
I'm every little shop there are bales
OF rags. These bales are opened
with much dust and smell and are
sorted. the largest are sold for
patches, and | wish you could see
the patched clothes that we see on
the streets here. They look like
crazy quilts only are not bright
and pretty and lack the feather
stitching. They are thicker than
regular quilts for the Chinese wear
very thick, padded garments in
cold weather. The next best rags
are cut into strings and made into
mops. We can see them tied at
the end of a stick and hanging up
for sale
The smaller rags are used to
make shoe soles and the stiffenings
I'm the sides of the shoes and also
the stiffening in hats. 1t is quite
a complicated process that they go
through. They have lot OF
squares of very thir paper about
sixteen inches square and big
bucket of paste. They put down q
square of paper on a table and
smear It with paste then spread
the rags on very smooth. rags OF
all sizes, even as small as my thumb
nail, then spread more paste on,
then press the paste all out until
the square Is not wet at all and
there Is Just the rags and paper
then the squares are spread up or
the wall outside the houses asI
high as they can reach. In the eve
ming the squares are dry and very
hard, so they peel them downward
and pile them up. These squares
are cut up and sewed many layers
together into shoe soles right IN
the same shop, men, women and
children all working.
The whole front of the shop Is
doors. which are taken down in the
day time. At meal time each mem
ber of the family gets a bowl of
rice from the cooking shop near by
and squats on the door sill and eats
It,
In the evening the doors are put
up and the comforts are brought
out and spread on the tables and
there the family sleep. Their emo
and aim i'm life is to pay rent on the
little shop and buy the bowls of
rice each day. Their lives are so
poor and narrow-how l desire to
help them-with Jesus help ! vii

and secure favorable legislation de-
spite the attacks and the opposition
Of the powerful interests that are
sure 10 be there This country Is
so large and its industries are so
varied that what the cattle raiser
and wheat farmer needs would
probably be a detriment to great
many people living In other sections
of the United States.
Therefore when farm legislation
is up for consideration the manu-
featuring interests and the mining
inerests, etc, will be there to
fight Il and nothing short of great
ability and fearlessness in fighting
for these laws will do any good

CARRIER Is THE MAN

1t is generally conceded by those
who are in touch with political con-
ditlons in the various parts of
Grant county that Judge NJ c. Gar
Der will be the Republican nomi-
noe for congress after August 1st
In a pretty thorough survey OF the
different localities we hear that
CARRIER Is the man whom the Re
publicans believe can look after the
districts interests in the most eff
lent and satisfactory manner, and
although there Is no doubt but that
the republicans can elect any man
hey nominate yet there Is no ques-
tion on the part of the rank and file
of the party TO allow another mis-
take like that of 1920 to occur.
II was conceded from the first
that CARRIER would be a strong can
dilate, but few believed that his
popularity would Increase so steadi-
ly and strong as It has in the last
siN weeks, Chas Swindall, his
strongest . opponent, has many
friends in the district and from the
first the opinion was freely eX-
pressed that he would be a hard
man to beat but as conditions are
shaping up II appears that Swindall
has no chance Followers of Judge
England, especially In Kay county,
are rather bitter over the tactics
used In forcing ENGLAND out of the
race and most OF them are lining
|up with CARRIER This condition Is
/ also true OF the many friends OF
Judge England In Grant county,
But most of the republicans and
| especially the farmers are going tC
( be with CARRIER because they believe
ia him. lie has proved himself or

BOXING
BIG LEAGUE DOPE

New York, April 26-The Yankees
and Giants continued their mad dash
in the lead in the big leagues at the
expense Of their Philadelphia oppo-
nents. Bob Shawkey pitched his sec
ond straight shut out 6 to 0, holding
the Athletics to four scattered bingles
while Frank Bakers home run with
two on in the seventh clinched the ar
gument. 1t looked like a real battle
until the seventh when Naylor went
to pieces. The Giants found George
Smith and Meadows to their liking,
and laced out II hits. including a
home run by Kelly while Jonnard who
relieved Pat Shea held the Phillies
safe.
Dutch Ruethers pitching and hitting
proved too much for Boston, Brooklyn
earning a five-two decision. Ruether
included home run in his afternoons
work, and would have scored shut
out but for Olson's wild throw.
Phillips, Washington's recruit hurl-
er held the Boston Red Sox to four
hits while his teammates pounded out
100 verdict.
New York. April 26.-Hooch owls
shall not boot their boots at the MEM
bers of the manufacturing perfumers'
association nor try to hide the radiant
odor of the synthetic or of the orange
blossoms of the hooch, behind the per-
fumes properly belonging in milady's
boudoir. The boot-legger isNsr be
driven out of the toilet wat susi-
ness. This is the decision of e per-
fume manufacturers meeting here in
their 2Sth annual convention.
Spokesman declare that hundreds of
cases of lovely orders rapidly change
hands among certain wholesale drug
jobbers who use such transactions to
boost their average business figures
and thus increase the amount of
liquors they can handle under the pro-
hibition act.
AS for the perfumer who makes gal
Ions of palatable liquors against
ounces of toilet water the association
has hung the black flag on such evil
doors. All in all the hooch owls can
get little comfort from the perfume
! manufacturers attitude on the liquor
question. What alcohol they get will
perfume a handkerchief but never the
breath of a rum hound.
