POSTAL EMPLOYEES
MAY Be EXEMPTED

Employees in the postal service OF
the government will not be expected
to enlist in the army during the war
with Germany. II. In the opinion of
the department officials they can be
OF more use TO the country in their
present positions than they would be
in military ranks. Postmaster Coo
per OF the local office received a de-
partmentai notice from Washington.
4 day or two ago which read:
III the service in your office will
be seriously embarrassed by the alb
senee % employees on military duty
the department will upon proper certi-
fcation from you to that effect. re-
quest the secretary OF war to excuse
such employees from military duty"
This is construed to mean that IL
employees OF tho postoftice should be
drafted they may later be excused up
ON the request OF the postmaster un-
der whom they had worked. provid-
ed he was able to show that their
services were needed to maintain the
efficiency of the office.
The authorities at Washington have
also issued orders that all leaves OF
absence. except for sickness. will be
withdrawn and that no post office
empioye win be excused from duty
without urgent reasons. owing to the
heavy increase in business and the
necessity for experienced help TO han
die the conditions brought about by
the war.
II is suggested by the department
that where men desire TO leave the
service to look after personal busI-
ness Affairs. that they tender their
resignation with the understanding
that they may be reinstated within
the year.

MINERAL NEEDED BY
THE U. S. GOVERNMENT

The Colorado Geological survey is
cooperating with the United States
government in an attempt to nnd
workable deposits OF certain minerals
for which the war has caused an in
creased demand. Among these min
erals are: Ores Of nolybdenum tfree
from copper. ores OF vanadiun- ura-
hum. nickel. manganese and plati-
mum. Transparent. unfractured flour
spur In fairly large pieces. and as
nearly coloriess rs possible Is also
aaeedad. Pale green and very pale
purple coiors may not prevent lis use

stated that the general make up Of
