Uncle Sam Needs 10000 StenOg
raphers and Typewriters at Once

Now that Uncle Sam has the Young
men of the country in training for
military service, he finds that he needs
10000 typewriter operators and stenog-
raphers and typewrlters, both men and
women, for the Departments at Wash
ington. The Civil Service Commission
has notified all of its 5000 boards of ex-
aminers that they should put forth
their best efforts to secure these urgent
ly needed workers. While examinaf
tons are now held weekly in 450 cities,
the Commission states that arrange
ments will be made to have an examina-
ton held at any accessible place where
a small class of applicants can be secur-
ed. The entrance salaries range from
$1,000 to 81 200 year. Promotion is
reasonably rapid to those whose serv-
ices prove satisfactory. No appoint
ments can be made to these or other
positions in the Federal classified civil
service unless authorized by the Civil
Service Commission under the civil
service law. ANY information to the
contrary is unauthorized. This is
splendid opportunity to serve your
country. Full information may be
secured from the secretary of the board
of civil service examiners at the post
office in Oakland.

week of October. Every woman who
will volunteer her services is urgently
requested to send her name and adj
dress to the MARYLAND Food Conserva-
ton Campaign Headquarters, Sis North
Charles Street, Baltimore, Md She
will then be assigned a definite terri
tory to cover in her own neighborhood,
and will be issued the proper creden-
tails and the proper badge for her work.
The situation is serious. Unless this
plan of conservation is carried out by
the women and men of the United
States. both our soldiers abroad and
our families at home will find them
selves without an adequate supply of
these important articles of diet before
the next twelve months have elapsed.
The Government has chosen this method
OF securing food conservation, and calls
upon every loyal woman to join in the
work just as 1T has called upon every
man of proper age for service IN the
field. The war cannot be won without
the soldiers. and the soldier cannot " n
without food.
The woman who enrolls in this work
is doing it as a recognized representa-
tive of the National Government at the
demand of the National Government,
and is rendering important service as
avidanca of hor loua Ifu opJ bor Jon;.o
to cooperate in the war for democracy.
Forward your name and address at once

authority of Herbert C. Hoover, Ma
