FIRE DEPARTMENT
inducements Held and to Patriotic
Volunteers.

George Stewart has been quite ac-
tive in organizing a company of fire
fighters for this district. This has been
but small need for such in the past,
but since the Legislature has exempted
active firemen from poll tax and jury
duty George has brought it to the at
tention of his neighbors with results.
A small chemical has been installed
on the Stewart grounds and last night
the new company was called out for
practice.
Chief Stewart set a gallon of Stand
ard on fire and turned in the alarm.
The boys quickly located the fire and
after getting on the ground, Chief
Stewart took charge of the chemical.
For some reason the mixture. due t.
inexperienced handling did not put out
the fire.
Chief Stewart claims it was not due
to his inexperienced but to the strength
of the Standard.
When the company returned to
headquarters they were served with an
abundance of short cake and cream
prepared by the ladies of the district.
Each company is allowed twenty five
members and there are yet a few va
cancies. Any person over the age of
twenty one, who desires to become ex-
empt from poll tax jury duty and elg-
| ible to short cake, should make appli-
| ca ton at once by addressing or calling
on Chief Stewart at headquarters.
The next practice will be held upon

BUREAU
 FOR YOUNG MEN
SECT. EHRENSBERGER PLANS TO ESTABLISH ONE AT THE
 LOCAL Y. M. (. X.
Will Ask Merchants to Cooperate and Hopes to Aid Many Desir-
 ing Work.

An employment bureau for young undertaken by officials of the local Young Mems Christian Association and should this important movement materialize many of the local young men would be greatly benefited.
 Secretary k. A. Ehrensberger is to be commended for the number of inn portant ideas he has introduced in this city since taking charge of the local institution and he is working hard to perfect good employment bureau and is endeavoring to secure the cooperation of the local business men in this matter.
 He will visit the local business men this week and will endeavor to get promises from them to support and patrOnize the bureau should one be formed The only support that will be necessary will be for the business men to patronize the bureau and in this manner both the young men and the local firms will be helped. In many instances the local buisness men have been unable to secure the labor needed merely because of the fact that they did not know where this labor could be secured and where to apply. Also many of the local young men are out of employment simply because they do consequently they have never ap- piled to the right parties.
 Secretary Ehrensberger plans to establish an employment bureau in the local Y. M. (. A. which will be open to both members of the Associat- ion and outsiders and will charge, if the plan is landed, 9 cents for an aplication. In this maner he will be able to support the bureau from a financial standpoint. He only asks the local merchants and bushes men to inform him of the nature of labor wanted, how many persons are neeo' ed and when the yare wanted. He then sends the applicants for such a position to the business man and he selects the applicant which he thinks will suit him best.
 Mr. Ehrensberger stated yesterday that he intends to devote much time to the bureau and he said that he be- lieyed it would be established within the very near future.
