BE A STENOCRAPHIC
PATRIOT

The United States government
needs thousands of stenographers
and typists, and your Uncle Sam
pays good salaries. You can
serve your country we'll II you are
trained for this work and the ex-
aminations are not difficult for
those who complete, our courses.
The U. S. Civil Service states
that more stenographers are
urgently needed for departmental
work at Washington and in
Federal offices throughout the
country and young people are
asked to take the examinations as
Patriotic Duty"
If you prefer a position in
business office, the condition is
much the same. Never before
have there been such wond derful
opportunities for efficient Office
workers. Think of the number
of positions being vacated by those
who have gone to the front"
Someone must fill their places.
You can fill one of them. A
scarcity of help always makes
good salaries. No need to worry
about the pay.
We can help you to one of these
good positions in the only practical
way-thorough training in stenog-
raphic and typewriting efficiency.

Dear Mr.. Miller:
am writing tonight to tell you
little Of what my work here in

what you have done for me In the
Mt. Vernon Business College.
The course there has given me
the opportunity of getting into the
center Of things at this critical
time. 1t has broadened my view
point. for I meet people from every
part of our country. and best of
all, l get Ia touch with some Of the
minds that are helping 70 make

WHAT YOU GET.

You get to go to school in your
home town, and enjoy all the COM
forts of home.
You get the very finest systems
of Shorthand. Typewriting and
Bookkeeping that brains can de-
wise or money buy.
You get the same studies, the
same books, the same desks, the
same everything that the students
in larger school get. Size alone
represents the difference.
You get methods of instruction
here, that you would get in any
larger school, from teachers es-
pecially trained for this work,
skilled and competent.
You get. into a crowd of young
men and women. representatives
of the best families in the COM

Dear Mr.. Miller:
l am writing this letter to you
in the hope that it will be the
means of inspiring you and Miss
Welker to greater efforts in inter-
esting the young people of Mt.
Vernon and Knox County in book
keeping and stenographic work
this fall, for it really seems as
though everyone who can, ought to
be doing something, when the de-
mand for stenographers and book
keepers is so great.
We all like it here and will stay
until the Kaiser is beaten to q
frazzle.
Wishing you success and a
prosperous year, am

GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY

Yes! you m'am-the wife of
farmer. You face a lifetime
of satisfaction or regret for the
part you play in this great war.
You have such an influence
over what your husband does,
that the country is looking to
you, quite as much as to him
to see that the next Liberty
Loan is over-subscriEed.
You know how your husband
consuts you about everything,
and-between ourselves-how
he does pretty much as you
say.
Tell him quietly, 81 have
been thinking about our duty
to our Country and | feel we
must make great big sacri-
flee. We have never really
been called upon to do anything
for our Country until this war
came, and we must respond
now. Let's lend every cent we
can spare, and can save during
the next twelve months. Let's
buy all the Liberty Bonds we
can. INl help you do it."
Yes man, you can do a won-
derful work. and YOU will do u.
won't you?
