TERRELL HAS BOUGHT
$4,000 WAR STAMPS
STANDS HIGH IN COMPARISON
WITH OTHER COUNTIES, BUT
is FAR BEHIND QUOTA.

The News has received from Hugh
Richardson, state director for the
sale Of war savings stamps, a report
showing that Terrell county ranks
nineteenth in the 1852 counties.
With that the county makes a very
poor showing, only $25,433 of the
$685. $50 allotted quota having been
taken. The per capita sales amounts
to only LII, and the sales in April
amounted to $5,081.
For some reason Terrells quota is
much larger than nearly all neigh
boring counties, in fact more than
all except Sumter, whose allotment
is $623,840 and per capita sales to
May LIST was $1.18. Randolph's quo
ia is $405,960, with per capita sales
of .88; Dougherty's $355,1OO with
per capita sales of so; Calhoun's
$256,740 with per capita sales of
.76; Stewards $268,740 with sales of
$50 per capita; Baker $177,98O, with
sales of AZ per capita; Lee $263,060,
with sales of .28 per capita; Webster
$123,020, sales .32 per capita.
Georgia's quota is 100000,
with sales to April 80 of $2,196,097.

A TALK WITH A DAWSON MAN
H. L. Britt, Dist. Agent Federal Cas-
ualty Co., of 423 Sixth Avenue,
Tells His Experience.

There is nothing like a talk with
one of our own citizens fer giving
hope and encouragement to the anx-
ious sufferer from the dread kidney
disease. We, therefore, give here an
interview with a Dawson man:
1.-TWO years ago | suffered from
kidney trouble and had constant,
sharp pains in the small of my back, "
says Mr.. Britt. 81 couldn't bend over
to put on my shoes and the least
move l made almost drove me frantic
with pain. Dizzy spells came over
me suddenly and l became so weak
| couldn't stand. My kidney didn't
act right and the secretions contain
ed sediment. Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me and l got
some at Lees drug store. They help
ed me from the start and four boxes
freed me from the terrible pain in
my back, regulated my kidneys and
all the other troubles were remov-
ed"

simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
WORKERS ARE WANTED
GOVERNMENT NEEDS THEM FOR
AT LEAST SIXTY DIFFERENT
KINDS OF EMPLOYMENT.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-More and
more, as the war program progress
es, is the government depending up
on women to perform the tremend-
ously increased volume of work in
the civil branches. The force of civ
lllan employees in Washington. D.
e., increased from 10000 to ap-
proXimately 10000 during the first
year of our participation in the war
VI this increase of 10000 more than
10000 are women. Women make
up the increase in government of
noes and establishments outside of
washington in less proportion, for
the reason that the greatest expan-
sion in the field has been in the large
manufacturing plants of the war and
navy departments, where thousands
OF mechanics and laborers are en-
ployed in shipbuilding and in manu-
featuring ordnance and other war
material. Women are not available
for employment in trades positions
to any great extent, but their ser
wees are being utilized in every way
that is practicable.
The United States civil service
commission is calling for women for
government work of not less than
90 different kinds. The list includes
stenographers, typists, bookkeepers,
other clerks of a score or more of
cClassifications which require training
IN some special or technical line, sta
tlstlcians, operators of various kinds
OF calculating, addressing and dupli-
eating machines; proof readers, law
clerks, welfare executive secretaries.
craftsmen of a dozen kinds, tele-
graph and telephone operators, train
ted--f4drses, chemists, physicists, IL
brary assistants, inspectors of un-
dergarments, fnger-print classifers.
and many others.
The commission urges women to
offer their services to the government
at this time of great need. AS men
are called to the colors women must
take their places and keep the ma
chlnery behind the armed forces
moving at the maximum of efficien-
cy. Representatives of the civil ser
wee commission at the post offices in
all important cities are prepared to
furnish definite information and an
pllcatiOn blanks.
