OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
Urged to Study Stenography and Type
writing.

The chairman OF the civil service
] form committee Of the Vermont FEEDER
alton Of Women's. clubs desires to
announce that the committee is in receipt
OF communication from the chairman OF
the United States civil service commission,
at Washington, ID. c., urging more women
to study stenography and typewnting.
The women of Europe are helping in
every possible avenue Of service during
the war. The women OF the United States
should understand the necessity wherein
and how best they may aid the civil serv-
ice and the government
From the time that it became evident
that the civil service must be expanded to
meet war conditions, one OF the most diff
cult problems the commission has had to
solve has been that of supplying a
sufficient number Of stenographers and
typewriters. to meet the tremendously
increased demands of the departments
Literally, thousands Of stenographers anG
typewriters have been appointed IN the
government service in the past few months
but belief is that the time Will soon be al
hand, if in fact it has not already come
when the number Of trained stenographer,
and typewliters in the country is less thar
the number Of positions calling Tor suci

BANGOR. MAINE. Oct. , Hundreds
OF hunters are arriving in northern Maine
for the 1917 hunting season, which opened
yesterday The sporting camps in the
game regions have guests booked for nearly
their entire quota and it is not expected
that the war Will have an adverse effect

A large proportion Of the sportsmen who
come into the woods each autumn are
above the draft age and it Is believed that
the number OF those kept away by the
entrance Of the United States into the

negligible
Reports brought in by the veteran guides
indicate that the hunters are assured Of
good sport unless nfavorable weather
should prevent food or drought. With
the exception of partridge. game appears
TO be as plentiful as in the past seasons
Comparatively few tiocks Of partridges
have been reported, however, and the birds
are much scareer than is usually the case.

which there is abundance The foods
that must be saved are wheat, beef
pork, dairy products, and sugar. Those
that should be used generously are fish
