of Desertion.

Ira Burger, who was born in Wells,
Mimi. and registered here for mill
tary service, had been ordered to en-
train for Camp Dodge on September
%. but did not appear in response to
the order of the local board. Yester-
day he was arrested by. federal agents
at st. Paul, Mimi, on charge Of de-
sertion.
1t appears that Burger had told
some of his friends just before the
day on which he was to leave for the
mobilization camp. that he did not In
tend to go, and shortly afterward
he appeared at Wells Mimi where
inquiries were sent from here.
The authorities at that town In
formed the local board that Burger
was wanted. in Minnesota for automp-
bile stealing.
Burger registered in Hagan pre-
cinct Lartmore township:lthis county,
and his serial number was $40, while

The state board of regents of North

It was rumored today that Freder-

not be confirmed.

FREE SCHOOL FOR
STENOCRAp HERS
Former Shorthand Writer Eli
gibIe to Speeding Up Work.

WASHINGTON The government
IS going to start a speed class in type
writing and shorthand to reclaim the
work Of former Stenographers who can
not afford to pay for this brushing
up" process
Through this speed class the De
partmcnt on Labor and the Civil Scr
vice Commission hope TO utilize the
'tenographlc resources OF hundreds OF
men, women and girls who were once
expert stcnogrIphcrS, but who for
ono reason or another are expert no
longer. Many of these former stem
oRrapherS are seeking work, and many
OF them cannot wait ior employment or
afford the money TO make themselves
expert nographers before they take
positions.
SO the employment division of the
Department OF Labor, under Anthony
Caminetti, Commissioner General Of
immigration, will furnish INSTRUCTION
free in shorthand and typewriting
speed work, and within two months, II
is believed, the government school will
be aiding materially in cutting down
the shortage of pot hook" artists.
Open to All Comefa
Caminetti, through corps OF as
SiStantS, will turn out stenographers
both for the government and for pti-
vate employers in Washington and
elsewhere. In spite of the fact that
the executive departments are in
fierce competition with private EN-
pIoyers bcrc to corner the available
supply OF Stenographers and other Of
flee help, the Department of Labor'S
employment division will give lnstruc-
ton to all former stenographers who
apply for the course, regardless OF
whether these potential employees care
TO work for Uncle Sam or not
The employment division, begun
prior to Americas entrance into the
war, designed to bring together the
worker and the job, but il was no, then
expected TO have the scope and lnilu-
