CIVIL SERVICE
ISSUES WARNING
Public Warned Against "COaching
Schools" Claiming Influence in
Securing Positions

Washington, d. c., May II, 1923
William G. Deming, newly installed
president Of the United Civil Service
Commission, scarcely became comfort
ably seated in his official chair before
he found occasion to give warning
against the activities of certain in
dividuals and so-called schools making
e-xtravagant claims as to their ability
to further the interests of candidates
for government employment.
In a statement issued today, Mr..
Deming said hat there has come to
his attention a blank form of contract
distributed by one of these concerns
which provides that the signer shall
pay to the other party to the contract
to assist the signer in securing ap-
pointment as postmaster. There is a
further stipulation that twenty dol
lars more is to be paid when the
signer is confirmed as postmaster. The
recipient agrees to represent the sig
ner before the Post Office Department
and the Civil Service Commission.
The impression is given, although not
expressly stated, that the person to
whom the money is paid can in some
way help the signer to an appoint
ment. There is a "joker" in it in these
words of the contract: "If within your
power to do So" That is, if the ap-
plicant fails and complains the coach"
can say that he did his darndest.
Mr.. Deming points out that all need
ed information concerning examina-
lions for and appointments 10 post
master positions, and positions in the
classified civil service, may be secured
from the Civil Service Commission or
any of it's duly authorized represent
atives, and without cost. He says
further that the examinations held un-
der the Commission are open and
competitive and that the order of rat
ing and certification can not be at
fected by any consideration other than
the evidence of qualifications gathered
by the Commission through it's exam
nations.
The Civil Service Commission does
not disapprove or desire to discredit
legitimate schools which give actual,
bona fide instruction. Such training
has a general as well as a special
value, but the intention is to warn
the public against misleading claims
made by many so-called civil service
coaching schools and by individuals
who by inference lead applicants to
believe there is need or opportunity
for outside influence or assistance.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Ocean City High School baseball
team cancelled the game with Wild
wood at Ocean City on Saturday, for
feiting the game. Ocean City had not
won a game in the League up to this
time and seemed doomed to go through
the season without a defeat. Wildwood
has as yet a possibility of finishing
the season in a three cornered tie
with Middle and Woodbine for second
place.
The game with Wilmington High
School which was scheduled for June
2 was cancelled by Wildwood last
week. There is a feeling on the part
of the baseball authorities that the
team from the Delaware metropolis
is too strong to make a game with the
local lads a good attraction this year.

| The home of Mrs. Fred Il. Dubois
was the setting for a most interest
ing gathering of about sixty of the
young business women of Blackfoot
recently.
The attractive invitations for a Hal
lowe'en frolic issued by Mrs. Dubois
and her daughter, Miss Toussiant,
held no indication of what great mo-
ment this occasion was and the girls
in all kinds of weird costumes as
sembled to observe Halloween in the
usual manner Of fortune telling and
other witChcraft About one hun
dred and seventy invitations were is
sued, but due to a number of unfor-
tunate circumstances, such as wea-
ther, invitations lost, etc., many girls
did not attend, but an invitation was
sent to every business and professioal
woman in Blackfoot.
The Dubois home was all that could
be desired for a Halloween frolic:
Jack-o-Lanterns and corn shocks
were profusely used. Weird ghosts
fitted about in the half light Of can
dies. Miss Perle Quantrell proved
her ability as reader Of palms, while
Miss Grace Peck surprised her
friends by her great knowledge Of
their fortunes as found in the cards.
Dancing was another attractive fea-
ture of the evening. About ten
o'clock the guests were all summoned
to the Green Room, where Mr.. e. Q.
Rowdon led them in community sing
ing and Mrs. Dan P. Brill gave three
readings. After this Mrs. Dubois ex-
planned to the guests the real pur-
pose of the occasion, namely to form
Business and Professional Woman's
Club for Blackfoot. The girls, she
said, had proven that such meetings
in which they had entered into the
frolic. She sketched briefly the pur-
pose and possibilities of such cluD
in Blackfoot, after which she turned
the meeting over to Miss Peck, wno
told the girls what she had seen aC-
Canal women's clubs in different sec
tions of the country. Miss Scully, a
former member of the Viscolia Cali
fornia Business and Professional Wo
mems Club and Miss Kirkham, a
of the Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
club, told of their individual club ac-
tivities and what the club had meant
to them. Miss Baldwin, Mrs Forter,
Miss Bentley and Miss Vaughn spoke
Of what could be accomplished In
The girls then decided
they would elect officers and the fol-
lowing were elected: Miss Vera Benz
ey, president: Mrs. Dan p Brill, vice |
Miss Irene Briggs, treas
lrer, and Miss Grace Peck, secretary. |
It was decided that the first meeting |
should be held Thursday evening,
November first, in the Commercial
Club rooms, at which time every bust
less woman is urged to be present.
At this meeting the plans will be
for the organization, COM
nittees will be appointed, and gen.

SchOnburg Plan

SCnOhUu1S Ahh
81 was much interested in the plan
of organization for improving condi-
tions as outlined by Fred Schonburg,
If this plan could be brought into
successful operation, Idaho's dairy in
dustry would be greatly benefited.
But in my experience, 1 have never
known of an instance where institu-
tions with interests so dlvergant and
conflicting as those of the cooperative
creameries and cheese factories here,
and the centralized creameries, con-
densories and privately owned cheese
factories could be so conciliated as to
all work together, even for the COM
mon good.
"The remedy for existing evils and
low prices lies in the dairymen's own
hands, and that through cooperative
effort. Dairymen must organize and
support cooperative creameries and
cheese factories more loyalty than
they have been doing. They must
employ the most ecicient managers,
and who must insist upon only fresh,
sweet milk and cream. Also they
must market cooperative if they are
to realize the highest returns But
the most important of all is higher
quality of milk and cream."-Evening
