GOVERNMENT NEEDS STENOG.-

Women and Men Badly Needed for

Women and Men Badly Needed for
Service in the Departments and
Washington and in Federal OFFICES
Outside Washington
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The United States government
needs, and badly needs, great numbers
of stenographers and typewriters both
men and women, for service in the
departments at Washington, D.. G.,
and the situation in Federal offices
outside of Washington is scarcely less
urgent. The supply of qualified per-
sons on the Civil Service commission
lists for this class of work is not
equal to the demand and the commits
sion urges as a patriotic duty that
citizens with this special knowledge
apply for examination for government
service. At present all who pass the
examination for the departmental
service are certified for appointment.
Examination papers are rated with
out delay. Examinations for the de-
partmental service in Washington for
both men and women are held every
Tuesday in 400 of the principle cities.
Examinations for Field service (po-
sitions outside of Washington are
held frequently.
Anyone wishing to get more spe-
cific information with regard to de-
tails may apply at the local postoffice
to the secretary of the local board of
Civil Service examiners.

German Soldiers Apply That Term
TO Scotch Soldiers Because They
Fear Them So
The following, clipped from some
newspaper and sent to The Robson
ian by a friend, will be of interest to
Robesonian readers, especially TO
Scottish readers. 1t contains a let
ter written by an American soldier
now fighting with the British armies
i'm France. The terms "bosche" and
GtFritz" refer, of course, to German
soldiers:
Preferences to the 'Let1ies from
He'll and the boche's aversion to the
5are-kneed sons of Scotia is found in
a letter from Mr.. Singleton to his
aunt written after the unit was es-
tablished at the base somewhere in
France. The distaste felt by Fritz
for a soldier from the Highlands Is
well known.
"1 have seen all sorts of soldiers,
Mr.. Singleton writes, and most OF
them are friendly to US Americans
1t is hard to see which are the best
fighters. but the English Tommles
ali admire the bravery of the Austral-
ians and Canadians, and the latter
admire the spirit of the English. The
Australians and 'Scotties' are the
finest appearing l have seen. The
eScotties' wear plaid skirts and bare
knees ard either Glengarry bonnets
or tam-o'- shanters. They are a queer
looking lot. The Germans call them
the Ladies from He'll because they
fear them so.

LEMONS BRING OUT

Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself.

Vahat girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; TO bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
lalone is acid, therefore irritating,
and should be mixed with orchard
white this way. Strain through a
fine cloth the juice of two fresh lem
ons into q bottle containing about
three ounces Of orchard white, then
shake well and you have a whole
quarter pint Of skin complexion To-
ton at about the cost one usually
pays for a small jar Of ordinary cold
cream. Be sure to strain the lemon
juice SO no pulp gets into the bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
to the face, neck, arms and hands
it should help to bleach, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very lit

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT
Meeting Begins at Gilead July %
The Evolution Ct a Word-Other
Matters

Matters
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Lumberton, R. 5, July 16-1t is
Monday and we are undergoing a
rather acute reactioS as a result Oh
the high temperature and our ardu,
Gus duties of yesterday, but we feel
happy, especially because heaven was
made to rejoice over the repentance
of one sinner.
Our meeting of days with the
church at Galead, near Bladenboro,
will begin next Sunday. Rev. Fred
T. Collins, a Robson product OF no
small sort who is pastor of tho Bap--
fist church in Clinton, has promised
to come and do the preaching. On
account of the above-named meeting
we shall have to ask the brethren to
please excuse US for our absence at
the Fairmont union.
We rejoice greatly over the happy
, results that follow a glorious revival
which has for it's aim the salvation
of souls and for its end the glory OF
Christ. But when a meeting closes
and one reporter says there were
twenty additions to the church mem
bership, and before the ink is hardly
cold we hear a distinguished deacon
of that selfsame church say they had
nine additions, it makes US wonder
which report is correct.
Our hat is off to that very amiable
young correspondent for the nice bou-
uuet he tossed at US in his last write
up to The Robesonian from Smyrna,
but the fire-proof cat should be re-
tired on a handsome pension.
O pshaw! = was too good to be true.
Bill will not throw up his hands I'M
til he is forced to do so.
We were delighted to see another
nice letter from "Aunt Becky, but
that wheelbarrow ride she took may
not be wholesome precedent. How
ever, we are charitable enough to be-
lieve that anything "Aunt Becky"
does is all right.
Our sincere sympathy is extended
the Methodist brethren in the great
loss of their conference evangelist,
DIR. L. L. Nash. It was our privilege
and pleasure to know DR.. Nash very
we'll and to regard him as a very
earnest and profound preacher.
No doubt the Sixth district Con-
gresham did his best to secure the
training camp for Fayetteville, but
Fayetteville is to be congratulated
on taking the defeat SO charitably.
The evolution Of word: We spell
"four" and fourteen with "u'
but leave it out Of forty. We learn
that "forty" was first spelled feower-
tig-"feower" for four and "tig" for
ten. Thus it got down to CHANGERS
time and he changed it in his "Can-
terberry Tales" to "fourty". In
1885 it had become "fourtie" and then
Shakespeare dropped the "u" and
spelled it "fortie". Just why he drop
ped the gu" no one knows or cares.
His annotators changed it again and
it became "forty". AS people say
'forty" ard not "fourty" Mr.. Shakes
peare really, became the author Of
phonetic spelling, because he spelled
it the way people say it.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we shall not both
er you for your valuable space in a
good while to come, but please let
The Robesonian follow us up. Well
keep you advised.
