publications to file Semi-annually a

of the number of daily copies sold or

WANTS WOMEN
To REPAIR FLAGS
Civil Service Department Is
sues Order For Several
Examinations.

The office of the needle woman is
one Of the positions which may be Sc
cured through a satisfactory examina-
lion of qualifications passed upon in
coming civil service examination. This
announcement was sent out to the To-
cal post office by the civil service de-
partment of the United States.
The duties of the expert needlewom-
EN- who will be given positions, will
be to repair rare historical flags OF
the revolutionary period, the Mexican
and the Civil Wars.
Through deterioration of the ma
terials, the flags OF the museum at
West Point, New York, have become
torn and shredded until they are in a
precarious condition. The length OF
their existence depends on the skill OF
the needlewoman who repair them.
Among the qualifications, the appli-
cant must state her experience in
handling delicate materials, fine lace
and cloth which is in a condition SINH
lar to that of the flags. This examina-
ton will be held January 26. The po-
sition pays So a day.
Other civil service examinations,
which will be held in some OF the civil
service stations in the large cities,
have been announced for the next two
months.

FILE REMONSTRANCE
AGAINST EXCAVATION

The Nettle creek drainage ditch pc
tition, filed several months ago in the
Wayne circuit court IS stirring up d
contention in the northwest part OF
Wayne county and part of Randolph
county through the differences in the
petitioning parties. A strong remon-
STRANGE against the excavation of the
Nettle creek ditch was filed in cir
cult court today and many petitioners
and several demonstrators nave al
ready withdrawn their names from the
papers to which they were affixed. A
paragraph asking for the extention
of the ditch into Randolph county,
near Losantsville. was stricken out
recently. This was done at the re-
quest of the petitioners, as many of
the demonstrators reside along that
part of the proposed ditch.
