hard in the afternoon-a cold, steady
autumn downpour-and there was

EMPLOYMENT OF MINERS.

Little Rock, Oct. 1S.-The state la- bor employment bureau is now co. operating with the federal labor bu. reau in the enforcement of the laws against the employment of minors. It was found that the regulations Of the Arkansas statutes followed close ly those of the federal law, and it was not necessary to make any changes. Arkansas laws are accept ed as being practically standard.
 But the mere assertion of parent or guardian, or a boy himself, that ho is above the minimum age will not suffice. There must be certified ev- idence submitted before an employ ment certificate can be issued. This may consist either of transcript of birth certificate, transcript of the baptismal certificate, the Bible rec ord, or the physician's certificate of age. any one of which is sufficient. Other alternative evidence is the par ents', guardians, or custodiar's statement, and the school record of age,

MEN WANTED

Al result of the war there h an enormous demand in all lines of busi- ness. both public and private. for trained men and women. Leading men of the nation arc unanimous in the opinion that it is . patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue bus1ness or techni. cal training and 1t themselves for ser. vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se- lective draft, are wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help: they need men-xreat numbers of them-and must have them. It is splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves in bookkeeping. shorthauA, and ether branches of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock. Ark. advises that the demand for office help has trebled in volume during the last three or four months, and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school. A very large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available. MT. Mclean strong ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are loo1ing for an op. portuntty and believe in the "Do il now" spirit, should. by all means, communicate with MT. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting young peo.. pic to prepare for business life.
