StenOgraphers and
Typewriters May Take
Examination Thursday

For the first time and perhaps the
last time, the Civil service commission
will send a man to Salem to hold ex-
aminations for stcnographers and type
writers and for each one seraparte, ac-
cording to Miss Zadee Palmer, the To-
cal secretary at the postoffiee.
If any young lady or man has am
lbition in this line. the first thing is
to talk with Miss Palmer and get an
application blank. She says the exam
ination is not 50 awfully difficult and
/ then besides, it will cost nothing to try
The examination is to be held in Salem
next Saturday and as the government
is so anxious for stenographers and
typewriters, all that is necessary is an
average percentage of 70.
In the examination in stenography,
speed in writing stenographic notes is
rated equally with the ability to accu-
rately read them. Any young lady who
can write so words minute will have
fair chance of passing, provided 9th
er things average up well. The ability
to take 80 words minute will give the
writer 70 per cent and 100 words a
minute will give rating of 80 per
CtHt. IHtH sum illilt us
rect spelling, erasures and words repeat
ed cause slight deductions.
In the application blank, the appli
cant will answer questions as follows:
Name, address, relationship, with
whom are you making your home and
what is your bona fide residence, Are.
you under 81 years of agel Are you
now married and were you ever mar
ried. If you are married woman,
what is your husband S residence
Then the applicant is required to give
a complete history of the occupations
followed since beginning to work and
to give the names and addresses of
five persons as reference.
It's quite easy and Miss Palmer
thinks this is a fine chance for Salem
young folks to take the examination.
If they lose, they have learned some
thing and if they win, there is a posi- /
tion of $1,000 to $1,000 year ready .
within short time. Ask Miss Palmer
at the post office.

1t is reported that Edward Congdor
who recently enlisted in the U. S
Army, was found at Fort Ethan Al'er
to be an expert shot and was sent with
the Goth division without camp train
ing. Geo. E. Kendall, son of Anne
Torrey Kendall, who enlisted in April
is now in the End officers training
camp at Plattsburg. Edward Potter
has sailed for France as gunner on a
ship to convoy munition cargoes, while
John Potter and Geo. Congdon are
still at Fort Ethan Allen.
We noticed that an apple orchard OF
young trees was looking sickly few
days ago and upon investigation found
congregations of recently Matched
worms were denuding them of leaves.
A spraying Of pure kerosene killed the
worms and did not harm the trees. A
good many fields of potatoes have
been blighted about here and farmers
are beginning to dig to save the crop.
A field planted and cared for by Will
liam Herrick, 10 years old, were full
grown and ripe, and consequently not
effected. Women who have not regu-
lar canning utensils will find they can
do the same work equally well with
the stove reservoirs and can use the
same fire that cooks the meals. A
piece of an over CRATE or a rack OF
lath will need to be placed in the bot
tom Of the reservoir that the water
may circulate freely about the cans.
String beans can be sailed whole like
pork, and sweet corn dried if jars are
short. Cucumbers for pickles will al
ways be ready to use if packed in a
brine of one cup each of salt and mus
lard TO gallon Of vinegar. We find |
tomatoes are ripening late and have |
the vines to give them more
sun. Blackbcrries also are late.
