At Columbia, Mo-, there is an EN-
ployment bureau in the State Univer
sity that aids girls who are working
their way through college. The de
mand for nurses for the babies is
greater than anything else in the
way of employment Formerly the
girl students did work in stenography
but this year house work seems to be
more in favor. The students do piece
work; that is. they take a contract
to go at certain times and wash the
dishes or do other work, and it seems
to be most satisfactory, both to the
students and to the Columbia house
keepers.

By marking a cross

If you mark cross in the square
opposite the name of more candidates
than can be elected to any office
your vote as to that office will not be
counted.

In marking the cross, the lines
should be made to cross each other

and square on the ballot, you can in
terline the name OF the candidate OF
your choice in the proper place and
make a square opposite and to the
left of his name, and mark a cross
therein.
The writing of the name of can
didate upon the ticket without max
ing a cross opposite thereto, or the
making a cross opposite a blank
space on the ticket without writing
name therein, will not affect the val
idity of your vote.
If you cannot read the English Ian

no assistance in marking
your ballot will be given.
Any erasures or Identification
marks, or otherwise spelling or defac-
ing a ballot. will render it invalid.
Hence, If you have marked cross
in square. which you did not intend
to mark, or have by accident or mis-
take made any mark, blot, or in any
way defaced, soiled or torn the bal
lot, return it to the judges and OBJ
tain another, as above directed.
DO not write your name on the bal
lot, or put any mark or sign upon it
by which it can be identified as the
ballot which you have voted.
Any person entitled to vote at
general election, who is employed by
any person or corporation, shall be

service of such employer for two
hours between the opening and clos
ing of the polls on election day,

Core. chief irrigation engineer of the
Indian service, some important works
are being projected in Arizona. Cali

The problems met by the irrigation
engineers in building projects In the
north are less difficult than those met
in the south and this in view OF the
fact that the works in the northern
states are much larger than those in
the south. The reason for this. 1T Is
explained. is that there is more abund-
ant supply of water In the north re-
quiring in many instances but simple
gravity canals to divert the supply on

Several large drainage systems are
