A Good Road Job Assured.

The Exposition takes pleasure this
week in announcing that II. Z. Dinner
has been appointed to supervise the
completion of the mile of road starting
two miles west of Yale, and also the
stretch of good roads to built in Lynn
township. The work will be started
as early in the spring as possible.
Henry built a mile of road just west
of Yale last summer, and we'll wager
that there isn't better piece of high
way in st, Clair county. 1t was his ex-
cellent work on this mile that won for
him the new job.
We congratulate the men in charge
of the building of roads on their fore
sight in giving this job to Henry. They
can rest assured that the road will be
completed on time and it will be built
strictly in accordance to specifications.

DO YOUR BIT GIRLS: l.. s.
 NEEDS STENOGRAPHERS

The work of the war is being ser iously hampered by the lack of sten- ographers. Both men and women are needed badly. Commissioner McIll- henney of the Government Civil Ser vice in Washington has just sent out word urging his district men to do all they could to remedy the situation.
 Girls show your patriotism-spend three and one-half months in the Ty- Ter Commercial College, Tyler, Texas, and qualify to pass the civil service examination, thereby helping to win the war. The Tyler Commercial Col lege has special class in civil service work and by the aid of the famous Byrne Shorthand which they control they can qualify you to do this pat Iriotic work, for which the Government .pays handsomely, in three months less time than anyone else. Girls, what excuse can you offer for not spending three and one half months preparing to go to our beautiful National Capi- tol at a good salary and help your brothers win the war?
 The cost of tuition, books, and board for the three and one-half months would not exceed one hundred and twenty dollars. If you haven't this .amount, borrow such part of it as is necessary from some business man who would be only too glad to make you loan since it would serve to help win the war. The College itself is ex- tnding credit to some worthy girls and boys. Write at once for their cata- log, shoulder arms and start on your march to our Nations Capitol and do your bit to defend U. S. A.
