MAY BROTHERS co.
GOES OVER THE TOP

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
We will thank you to insert the follow
ing in your next issue Of The Age-Her-
aid, as we consider it very patriotic
and feel that things OF this nature should
be known.
May Bros. Graphite company. located
in Clay county, Ashland. went "over the
top. the first day subscribing to the
third Liberty Loan, making a subscrip-
ton of $780, Each man connected with
the plant, both white and colored. bought
a bond. Most of these men are simple
day laborers and are scarcely making
enough to meet expenses of daily living.
We deem it a noble feature for these
men to do all in their power to help their
government in the noble cause We are
fighting. 1t Is something to be proud OF
and up TO the present it is the only plant
in this territory that has shown this
loyalty. The manager. Mr.. John May.
is to great extent to be given the credit
of the above mentioned due to the fact
that he boosted the Liberty Loan TO
them, explaining every feature of same
and made them see that it was the thing
to do. BY SO doing he secured a sub
scription from every employee. Yours
very truly,

MANY WHITE WOMEN
SEEK EMPLOYMENT
Women Whose Men Folks Are in
Government Service Request
Work

The United States Employment bureau.
26 North Nineteenth street, is having
many calls from white women and girls
for clerical and industrial work, and Mrs
Louise Pittman, who has charge of the
employment of women for the bureau
requests any owner of plants where
women can be employed to confer with
the bureau to fill vacancies.
In many instances these women have
had no experience whatever, states Mrs
Pittman, and many of them want to go
to work during the absence of men in
the family who have gone in the various
branches of the service of the governs
ment. 1t is necessary to find work for
them, as many of them have little chill
dren and must return to their homes at
night, and for this reason they cannot
take domestic work.
Many women are at present working In
the candy, cracker, wool and hose mills.
and the bureau is calling on the public
to give the bureau calls for such work as
q woman can do.
