Easier Than Vacationing

It is much easier to die than Co take vacation. A man who is summoned to his last long voyage may set his house in order In an hour; a few words, written or dic- tatcd. will dispose Of his possessions, and his heirs will gladly attend to details. This done, he may fold his hands on his chest and depart this voxatlous life in peace. It is quite another matter to prepare for a few weeks away from town. There are bills to bo paid; the icoman, and the mllkman. and the laundryman must be choked on. and the daily paper restrained from littorlng the door step. There is hair Co bo cut, teeth to be tinkered, and SO on. In short, lt takes days to stop tho machinery Of living for a fortnight, and days to start lt going again. But. my dear, ono must have changc.-Chlcago Tribune.

GOVERNMENT SALARIES
FOR STENOGRAPHERS.

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces that through
some misunderstanding an impression
seems TO prevail that the government
has raised the usual entrance salary
for stenographers and typists in the
departments at Washington TO S1.4OO
a year. The Commission states that
there has been no change in initial
salaries for positions of this kind; the
usual salaries at the beginning range
from $1,000 to $1,000 a year, appoint
ments at $1,000 being in the minority.
The War Department makes all ap-
pointments to such positions at not
less than 81 100 a year, and agrees TO
promote to $1,000 a year after three
months satisfactory service. Appoint
ments at salaries higher than $1,000 a
year are rare, and the appointees must
possess exceptional qualifications.
There is still great need for steno-
graphers and typists in the govern
ment offices at Washington. Those
who have had considerable office ex-
perience are most desired The Civil
Service Commission urges qualified
persons to offer their services to the
government. Full information may be
obtained from the representative OF
the Civil Service Commission at the
post Office in any city.

Edna Hurlock Promoted.

Edna Hurlock, of Grade VIII-C, An
napolis Grammar School, was among
the ninety-one children promoted to
the High School.
Her name was inadvertently omit
ted from the list given this paper for
publication.
II appears that other inaccuracies
have occurred because of two teach
ers having been granted leave of alb
sence by the Board of Education be-
fore the close of school. One teacher
was married, the other accepted a
Government position in Washington.
The marks of the children taught by
these two teachers granted leave has
caused the other teachers much trou-

lock child's name.

hoy, who had been running great
risks all afternoon.

To The Women Of America.

An authoritative statement from
official Washington again impresses
upon the women of America the fact
that they have never been called
upon before to bear so great burden
as the coming months win impose
upon their courage and their con-
stancy"
It IS interesting to note that though
women's part in all the war activities
is emphasized. first place is given to
the matter of food production and
food conservation and women's share
in it. The message reads in part:
1.-The women of America must see to
it that the nations producing power
is not .enfeebled by the draft made
upon it to strengthen the fighting
power
"They must produce food by work
ing gardens, by raising chickens, by
doing farm service where they can or
by helping and encouraging those
who do it. They must aid in the kitch-
en-, conserving food by wise econo-
mics, canning. drying, preserving
picking an preparing food in accord
nee with the Food Administration
program They must purchase where
they see the Food Administrations
emblem, watch their local dealers,
buy local produce in preference. TO
shipped goods and resist the tempta-
ton TO hoard.
America is to-day rationing the
world without our food supplies the
Allies could not fight for us. They
are suffering privations. The food
that we save for them is not saving
of money 1t is a saving of life. It
is worth more than its weight in
gold"
