STENOGRAPHERS

Men and Women

The United States Government is in
urgent need Of thousands of typewriter
operators and stenographers and type
writer's. All who pass examinations
for the departments and offices at
Washington, D. c., are assured of GER
LITIGATION for appointment. 1t is the
manifest duty of citizens with this
special knowledge to use it at this
time where it will be of most value
to the Government. Women especial
ly are urged to undertake this Office
work. Those who have not the re-
qulred training are encouraged to- un-
dergo instruction at once.
Examinations for the Departmental
Service, for both men and women, are
held every Tuesday, in $50 of the prin-
cipal cities of the United States, and
applications may be filed with the
Commission at Washington, D. c. at
any time.
The entrance salary ranges from
$1,000 to $1,000 year. Advancement
of capable employees to higher sal
aries is reasonably rapid.
Applicants must have reached their

CAN'T BEAT NELSON.

The Presidents counsel to Mime
sofa Democrats to join with the Re-
publicans in re-electing Senator Knute
Nelson is virtue born of necessity.
The Senator had expressed a desire
to retire to private life. No Democrat
stands a ghost of a show to succeed
him. II he runs again and is elected
by both parties, the Democrats have
lost nothing. A real display of non
partisanship by Democrats would be
to abstain from contests in States
which are normally Republican, but
where there now happen to be Demo-
cratic Senators by reason of the d.
vided Republican strength in 1912,
which enabled Democrats to slip into
Office. When Mr. Wilson counsels the
Democrats of his own State of New

CENSUS PLUM CAKE.

The 1920 Census Bill provides for
a staff of $4,000 employees to take
the census. Conforming to the
policy of the administration with re-
spect to partisan appointments they
will all be Democrats. This is added
evidence that the army will be re-

spurned by the President is the party
which has made possible this draft

These things are done systematic

here If the kaiser's armies could cross

allies require our financial and mill

the government must have money.
1t is expensive to win a war against
Prussianism, but it is utterly ruinous
to lose one.
A year ago the junkers laughed when
America entered the war, and said it

the only country where a huge indem-

laughing any longer, but their need
of indemnity has grown greater than
ever.
We can loan for victory or pay for
defeat.
We can buy insurance for our homes,

THE GREENLAW RECiTALS.
The Twin Cities Do Themselves Proud
in Their Reception of the
GrAaf Ar$ie$

~ 'uS" nSSSptIOU OF the
Great Artist.
The citizens of the Twin Cities have
had two musical treats Tuesday and
Thursday evenings Of this week that
will long linger in the memories of
those who had the privilege Of attend
ing the Greenlaw recitals, which from
artistic excellence Of the performance,
class and magnitude of the audiences
have seldom if ever been surpassed.
Mr.. Albert E. Greenlaw, the Cana
dian basso- cantante, is we'll and fav-
orably known by many of our citizens
who heard him when travelling with
the Fisk Jubilee Singers fifteen years;
and in personal recital seven years
ago: and, it was especially pleasing
to these to hear him again and note
that. like good wine, the timbre Of
his magnificent voice had only i'm
proved by the passage of the years.
Time, too, has treated him royalty from
a physical standpoint and his fingers
touched so lightly that Mr.. Greenlaw
has lost none of his pulchritude and
his stage appearance is very pleasing.
Mr.. Greenlaw's selections of eleven
numbers were identifcally the same in
both cities but he was very generous
in responding to encores and the high
est mead of praise is on the lips Of
every one who heard him. He was
delighted with the appearance of the
audiences and their unstinted apprecia-
ton and applause. He was much
pleased with the ability and efficiency
of his accompanist Miss Albreta Bell,
st. Paul, and Miss Mariennie Jeffer-
son, Minneapolis and paid them the
compliment of saying they were as
good as the best he has had in his
travels. One remarkable thing about
the recitals was that every number
was filled according to the program,
even Mrs. May Black-Mason graciously
determined to not disappoint the peo-
pie although she had lost her brother
by death after the program was
printed and she sang just as delight
fully as ever before.
The readings by Mrs Bertha Hale
Sullwold, in st. Paul, and Miss Eva
Walker in Minneapolis were par ex-
cellent
Miss Fife Barnett's mandolin and
guitar club, of ten members, in st,
Paul, and the solo of Mrs. VIM. NJ.
Smith and the quartette, Mesdames
NAdooll' Arthur, Glenn ana Sexton in
Minneapolis were very pleasing.
The local branch of the N. A. A.
c. P. of St. Paul and Sunday Forum of
Minneapolis are entitled to much
praise for having given the people
these musical treats.
DR.. Val Do Turner of the N. A. A.
c. P. and DR.. w. E. Burton of the Sun
day Forum desire to tender thanks
to the performers and the ladies and
gentlemen in both cities who helped to
make the affairs the unqualified sue
cesses that they were, and especially
do they desire to thank the public for
its patronage and appreciation.
Mr.. Greenlaw left for the east after
the recital in Minneapolis delighted
with his reception in the Twin Cities.
