Male stenographers In Demand

The United States Civil Service Com
mission announces that while 1t has no
difficulty in securing sufficient female
stenographers and typewriters to meet
the needs of the departments at Washing
ton, the supply of male elig ibles has not
been equal to the demand. Young men
who are at least 70 years of age and
who are willing to accept the usual en-
trance salaries, which are SS4o and
$500 a year, have excellent opportunities
for appointment. While the entrance
salaries are low, advancement is reason
ably rapid to those meriting it. The ex-
aminations. which any competent steno-
grapher should be able to pass, are held
each month in the year, except December
at the principal cities of the United
States.

PREVENTING TOMATO LOSSES
p. X. BIinn of the Experiment Station
Furnishes Valuable Information

Every season many tomatoes are lost
or injured where they rest on wet soil
from the irrigation burrows; great part
OF this loss can be easily prevented by
more careful cultural methods.
When the plants have made start
that will insure their growth. the irri-
gaton burrows should be cultivated in,"
the plants hoed. and the soil hilled up to
the plants; and when irrigation is again
required the furrows should again be laid
off little further from the row than the
first time, and wien the soil has dried
sufficiently to pulverize well the burrows
should again be cultivated in" and the
soil worked toward the plants.
At each subsequent irrigation the fur
rows should be laid off further from the
plants than before, until at last when the
crop is Laid by" the irrigation furrows
will be in the center OF the four or five
foot space between the rows, and at the
last time the burrows should be laid off
with large winged shovel plow so as to
ridge up the rows so that the plants will
virtually be growing on VIDE drY rioge,
which will protect the fruit from tine wet
irrigation furrow or excessive rains.
The roots Of the tomatoes will have
penetrated the whole space between the
rows, and the plants W i'll shade the ridges
so that moisture from the irrigation fur
rows will be sufficient for the crop.
During the picking season it is sdvs-
able to irrigate only in every other fur
row leaving the alternate dry furrow to
walk in while picking the fruit. and at the
next irrigation run the water in the dry
rows and use the first irrigated rows for
the picking paths. thus providing moisture
on one side Of each row all the time, and
a dry path to pick from without packing
the soil to in iure the crop; the plants are
thus kept green and growing and maxi
mum yields can be secured with little
injury from wet soil under the vines.

Large and enthusiastic delega-

At the morning session in First

The afternoon meeting was
mainly devoted to the business

adopted for the complete organi-

GOVERNOR SUSTAINED
Law and Order Legislators In Control
of Extra Session and State r1iiitia
will be Paid for Services

The law and order Democrats, with the
combined forces of Republicans and Pro-
gressives of both houses. were in complete
accord when the state legislature con-
vened in extraordinary session at the
state capitol on Monday, and as result
the proposed impeachment of Governor
Ammons was not voiced nor was any at
tempt made to refuse payment of the
state militia for their work in the strike
zone.
A particularly pleasing feature of the
day was the action of the Republicans
and Progressives in the house. who. under
the leadership of Horace Mann. announc-
ed that they were there not as Republi-
cans but as Coloradoans, to do whatever
was best for the maintenance of law and
order in Colorado and they therefore ask
ed for an unanimous vote for Jack Slat :
terry for speak er, after they had cast a
complimentary vote for DR.. Hasty, who is
the floor leader of the Republican and
Progressives- during this extra session.
The support to the law and order plan of
the Republicans in the senate was just as
strong as the support in the house.
Aside from the organization Of the two
houses and the joint session at which the
governor told in few words of his con-
nection with the strike. the day was given
over to joint executive conference Of
the members of both houses.
After the conference it was decided to
continue in session and complete the work
as rapidly as possible.
The only objection that has thus far
developed against the governors program
is upon the establishment of state con-
stabulary. and the opposition to this pro-
posal is not believed to be strong enough
to make any vital changes in the plan.
