WAR INCREASES Jobs
Uncle Sam Creates Great Mum.
Der of New Offices.
Civil Service Commission, Which Must
Supply Men for Places, One Of
Busiest Government Bodies.

A tremendous amount of work has
fallen upon Uncle Sans civil service
commission since the beginning Of the
war. The commission is designed to
fill vacancies in governmental offices
by a process of competitive examine
tons and selection on the baSis OF
merit. The civil service conn Gission
is an employment agency in that 1t
tests the fitness of every person 1t
certifies as eligible. Equipped, fas 1t
is, with some 5000 representative
agencies-that is, local boards Of ex-
aminers-situated in every part Of the
country it Is eminently qualified to
perform the important service OF
bringing the man and the job togeth-
er, so far as the needs Of the govern
ment are concerned.
In addition to supplying immediate
needs, the commission through its 5000
local representatives, has canvassed
the country and enrolled for future
use about $4,000 mechanics Of all
kinds who have expressed their will
ingness to accept employment In a
navy yard or arsenal If called upon.
Other mobilization" efforts Of the
commission consist of lists Of the
members Of this springs graduating
classes of the universities and col
leges, the name, character and number
of employees Of every manufacturing
plant in cities having post office OF
the first or second class, and the name,
address and specially Of practically
every economic expert in the United
states. These lists will be used as
occasion arises in making direct and
personal announcement Of the govern
ment's requirements in civil branches.
The unusual burden which the war
has imposed upon the civil service
commission is easily realized when the
tremendous number Of offices created
by our present situation is taken into
consideration. Manual labOrers, work
ers in industry, technical, skilled and
even unskilled workmen of every sort
are required by the government III
connection with the huge undertakings
which the war has made necessary.
There was a tendency to abrogate
civil service rules and open positions
to noncompetitive appointment. How
ever, this tendency was checked, and
the carefully established system OF
past years will not give way, 1t Is be-
lieved, under the difficulties Of war.
Examinations are being given con-
stantly at all the civil service offices
in the greatest variety Of subjects.
The commission is authorized to ex-
clude from any examination aliens and
those who do not show the necessary
physical and moral qualities.
officials of the commission state
that large number Of communion
lions are received in which the writer's
fail to give their full post office ad-
dresses, and in many cases the letters
are not signed.

DOUBLE POTASH PRODUCTION
Nebraska AIkaIi Lakes Still Lead, Ac-
ceading to Reports Submitted to
Uncle Sam.

More potash vas produced during
the first six month of 1917 than was
made during the fntire year 1915. The
reports received/b Uncle Sans geo.
logical Survey nave been reduced to
terms Of the commercial unit common
ly used tQfmeasure the available or
water soluble (KsO) in the product,
and QAfy material actually sold by the
pr6ducer during this period is in
Scluded.
The Nebraska alkali lakes still lead,
having yielded about one-third the en-
tire production. There are now at
least four important operators in this
field.
No production is reported from field
spar or other sllicate rocks, but con-
siderable quantities Of potash salts
and potash-bearing fertilizers were OBJ
tanned from the dusts in cement mills
and blast furnaces.
The production from kelp was about
10 per cent of the total, as it was in
1915.
Potash from distilled slop and other
organic sources made Is per cent or
more of the total.
The figures seem to indicate that
the production for 1917 will exceed
5000 tons of potash KaO) or two
and one-half times that in 1916. This
is about ten per cent Of the average
normal yearly consumption OF the
country before the war, showing the
need of further stimulating domestic
production of potash.
