The States of the Union have been divided into groups of four each, and it is proposed to hold the examina- tions in each group each month, so that it will take exactly @ year to complete the work. At the end of that time all fourth class postmast- ers, who ‘draw a compensation above $180 per year, will be in a bona fide civil service, having won their places by competitive examination. This is a big news to thousands of country store keepers.who find the adjunct of the post office in their stores not only.a profitable depart- ment in dtself but one which brings much trade for the general mercan- dise end of the emporiums, Thus there will be a keen competition for the jobs, the Civil Service Commis- sion estimating that there will be three applicants for every place, or 65;.0' ‘eandidates- who - will Htake thie examinations. As a rule a single examination will be held in each county for all the fourth class offices in that county. . The examination is not hard, In fact, it is one that could be easily passed by almost any grammar school boy, yet the Civil Service Commission expects many of the present incum- bents of fourth class post offices to stumble over it. It will comprise four questions having the following weight: Arithmetic, 50 points; pen- manship, 15 points; letter writing, 20 points; copying addresses, 15 points The arithmetic test will have four questions. In question 1 the contes- tant will be required. to add eight whole numbers and from their sum subtract another whole mnumber. Question 2 is bookkeeping. The ex- amfination paper will give the value of stamps cancelled at a certain post office, the amount of money received from newspaper postage, from the sale of waste paper and from box rents. The candidate will be given a blank form on which he must set down these figures in their proper places, and then he must compute the salary of the postmaster for the quarter in accordance with directions given on the form. Question 3 deals with multiplication and division of de- cimal fractions and also the reduction of simple fractions to decimals. Question 4 is practical arithmetic, calculating the number of post of- fice boxes that can be put into a cer- tain space, or the number of yards of linoleum required to cover a given floor space. Question 5 is a blank money order report to be properly filled out from figures given in the ex- amination paper. NEBRASKA MAN NOW HERE Is Visiting Son Near Nebish And Will Buy Large Tract. L. D. Maris who came here from Straton, Nebraska, was convinced of the possibilities of our soil after reading the Pioneer containing an account of the fair exhibits and as & result will buy a‘large tract of land north of the city. James - Maris, his son already owns land in that section of the county and stated that his father would ship a big herd of cattle here and start farming in old Nebraskan - style. “Yes, we own a fine farm-in Nebraska, but the' land fs so high there and- will produce no more than land-in this section. which costs so very much less,” said James Maris, “that_a man is foolish to stick in older communities.
