All of our young girls who are just
about ready to get out of high school,
| wish to tell you, that many lucrative
positions await you just now and stllI
more await you after a while. In
nearly every line OF business in this
country, intelligent girls are needed
TO take the places Of many young men
who have joined The military or naval
forces of this country. There is GER
tain tC be a shortage of men in the
civil service OF this country, and right
now the great trunk lines of America
arc in search OF intelligent and bus
jQess-like girls to take the places of
men who have volunteered for the
army or navy. Yoa viii of necessity
have to stand a civil service eXamira-
ton to see what you know. But think
most young girls, Just out Of school,
especially if they have ever completed
the seventh grade, and are Of an age
sufficient 10 look out for themselves,
and il they can stand creditable eA-
animation, viii be in great demand
after a while, much after the manner
that now prevails in Europe.
From now on many lucrative posi-
tons of honor and trust win be filed

wen get ready girls and unmarried

Women and Girls to Take Mems Place

/ our own country
Ii is a little surprising at the apti
/ tude women display in filling positions
once held by men. We use to enter
tain the opinion that girls, by nature
we're not built to do mems work, that
their places were in school or college
I'D TO II or IS years, and thence to
remain at home, living 4 quiet seden-
tarv and social life, but that has
changed to a great extent within the
last few wears. OF course, you will nat
urally say that a change in the times,
or some impending crisis, will pro-
duce a corresponding change among
the people. SO it will. Likewise, |
might say that necessity is the mother
Of invention. 4 man or woman can
Go almost anything if the will power
is behind their efforts. Why, girls,
Miss Ranken, now sits in the United
States senate as a representative from
her own state, a living monument 0!
what woman of this day can accom-
plish. Her feminine nature forbids her
from casting her vote for war, but she
was not by herself.
Now, when it comes to standing
your civil service examination, girls,
YOU viii not be asked anything i'll re
gard to your style of dress, hats or
shoes, but ability on your part to do
the work assigned TO you, is what will
count. Here are the requisites nee
cssary to carry you through if you
wish TO join the army OF workers I'M
der Uncle Sam, or III the civil pursuits
Of life. Here they are: Legible writ

calculation, a good reader pretty

Bay Shore Line Near HoughtOn Laid
Out by Architect
Local People Interested in Proposition
to Open Cottage Colony
Near Here.

If present plans materialize,
and there is every indication
that they will, the shore line in
the vicinity of Houghton will
before many years, be dotted
with summer cottages and this
region will become an important
one as an outing place for
prominent people throughout
the Northwest.
Local people are interested in
the project, not to the extent to
making money out of the enter
prise but to establish a summer
colony here and to improve the
grounds. The land in this
vicinity, to a large extent, is
controlled by local people and
Bayfield, people are also in
terested. Up to the present
time they have expended con-
siderable money in having the
grounds surveyed and laid out
by landscape architect. Gulf
links have been laid out, boule-
ward drives have been arranged
and plans for the improvement
of the docks and bathing beach
have been made.
The spot is one of the most
beautiful in Northern Wisconsin.
The land lies between Houghton
and Houghton Falls, south of
the right of way of the Omaha
and the shore line is most beati-
full for a summer colony.
1t is the intention of the own
ers to interest prominent people
throughout the Northwest in
the project and to make it one of
the most beautiful spots in the
Northwest. Several people al
reads own lots in this territory
and plan to build beautiful sum-
mer homes.

that if things could be made

and Ogren could prove that he

they might give him another

They were "betwixt the devil

both. So they went ahead with

and Mertz signed the contract
and it was forwarded to the

equipment on the job.
But Macleod, attorney for
Ogren, believing that the COM

when they intimated that they
might extend Ogren's contract,
