 Jane proved an apt secretary. Not in vain had she toiled nightly over her cor respondence school lessons in stem ography; and her laborious practice work. during the year of her studies back in quiet Fernbank, when she had taken down lectures and even the sermons of the clergyman, stood her in good stand There were few phrases with which she was less familar-and which were difficult in the swift curlycues and dashes of the short hand.
 Yet she went valiently on with the dic- tation work, and when she had finished. received a quiet nod from her employer

 ''Yes, sir
 She did not intentionally hurry her work, for Jane Brown had learned the first great lesson of successful secre- tarial work in the days in the country town; haste makes waste of time. Still, the keys of the spck and span l new machine tinllled merrily, and Morti-
 mer, with a quick glance of surprise, looked down at the end of his fresh cigar as he struck light. Now I'm sure I have a jewel of a | stenographer," he muttered to himself, if only that fool of Pedro does not spoil things"
 When Jane came over to his desk three minutes later, with the letter and its envelope neatly and correctly typed, with out a necessity of single correction, his smile expanded.

 Jane was pleased, but could not help wondering at the subtle meaning of the phrase. ito my employees, at least" She thought it unusual for & business man to cast even so vaguely expressed a doubt upon his own integrity. But Morti- mer was beaming at her so magnetically that she took it, as she did many other

 That's a good letter. and it will bring

U. s. EMPLOYMENT OFFICE TO CLOSE
Failure of Congress to Make Appropriation Ends
 Local Activities

Publicity for the United States em- ployment service, prepared probably for the last time by Richard F. Lussier, a publicity man now out on the cold, cold world"
 | Thus Richard F. Lussier, publicity rep resentative of the local office of the United States employment service, em- phasized the discontinuance of that serv- ice last night.
 Its all over," he said. "We have been waiting expectantly all day for the word from Washington that would extend -our jobs at least another month, but sad to relate, that word never came.'
 State Director George B. Tarrant ana his force kept the office open until late in the afternoon listing applicants for jobs and finding jobs for them wherever possible. During the entire day there was a stream of men, soldiers and civil ians, filing in and out of the office and the records show that it was one of the busiest days they have had in some time
 Failure of Congress to make an appro- priation for the continuance of the em-  fiscal year which closed last night, made the closing the local office necessary.
 The commissions of State Director Geo. B. Tarrant, Publicity Agent Richard r. Lussier, Mrs l.. W. Pittman, in charge of the women's department, and Mrs w. A. Austin, stenographer, expired last night.
 Dalton Swann, assistant to MT. Tarrant, is connected with the Red Cross and was ,iza n tba ployment service. He returns to the Red Cross for duty.
 Sam Becker and R. B. Barner who have been assisting the local office for some time, were loaned by the war community service and go back to that organization for duty today.
 The furniture and supplies of the local office were moved to room Ill, Jefferson county courthouse, basement floor, yes terday afternoon to be stored penoihs or ders from Washington.
 MT. Tarrant and his staff will hold conference in room Ill, courthouse, tnls morning to talk over matters Uniess instructions come before that time to con- tinue the work here the office force VIII be dispersed and the activities of the em- ployment service in Birmingham ana Alabama cease.
 eve waited until the last minute" said Director GeOTBe D. Aoiioii- from Washington that would assure us of continuing the service. However, none has come and the future is very uncer- tain. We will move to the Jefferson county courthouse for the next few days and will probably reach decision as 10 what will be done with the service wltnln few days Should we be able to secure local financial support to maintain our present personnel we can still perform good work, as the United States employ ment service is so well aover'ised nov and doing such a splendid work that pra racticallv all who seek jobs come to our offices at once to state their needs. NOW they will have to go the fee-chargins agencies.

Never was the farm field such a
big field for the men engaged in the
automotive industries as today.
The farm market has been sadly
neglected in this locality. 1t
would be well to give serious
thought to the possibilities of the
farm market. and for the coming
year this market should be devel-
oped to the maximum.
The farmer is financially better
of today than ever before. He Is,
therefore. a .Sood logical prospect
for a new or a used automobile.
We would advise the automobile
dealers to plan intensive selling
campaigns to be conducted in the
farm field
+. The farmer now appreciates the
value of motor trucks. The sur
rounding country is honeycombed
with good roads, and with the
farmers realizing the extent 20
which they can use trucks on their
farms and between their farms and
the cities and towns. the motor
truck dealers should likewise plan
an active selling campaign for the
farm field.
The tractor industry Is in its in
fancy. 1t is not even yet out OF
"swaddling clothes" The farmer
with his customary vision foresees
the possibilities for the tractor.
Line up the farmer and get in on
the ground floor of this business
which holds such a brilliant fu-
ture.
There is an enormous field for the
tire and accessory dealer among
the farmers, as there is also for
the dealer selling automotive
equipment. The reason for this ad-
vice about the possibilities in the
farm field is summed up well by
Motor World as follows:
As compared with the rest of the
country the farms are the most pros
porous today and will be so in the
immediate future. A third of the
workers in the United States are on
the farms. Also. farm prices are high
and the price of wheat is guaranteed.
This means that a third of the work.
ers in the United States are today en-
gagged in an enterprise which has an
assured prosperity.
On the other hand. some of our
other industries and activities are not
as active as farming. OF course, in
dustries are moving well, but they

That the growing use of the auto
mobile as a means Of highway trans
portation has made necessary a ma
tional highway system In addition to
State and county systems, was the
statement made recently by Roy d.
Chaplin, former chairman of the high
ways and transport committee of the
Council Of National Defense.
Ten years ago." said Mr.. Chaplin,
our road needs were purely local in
character. The cruising radius of the
horse-drawn wagon was definitely de-
hned and road makers were able to
gauge their budgets In accordance
with local conditions. Such a proceed
ure Is no longer possible IL we are
to facilitate economical transported ton
through adequate highways.
There still remains with US the
need OF county highways as well as
OF State systems. but in addition to
those needs we have that of a rapidly
growing interstate business. When II

IS States as separate units can be
deemed SUFFICIENT.
Under the provisions OF the fed

their respective States first.
How this has worked out in actual
practice may be readily seen by an
analysis of the federal aid projects to
date which shows that federal aid has
been scattered over a number OF d.
verse units of roads not connected
with any main system in most cases,
seldom connecting at State boundaries
and showing a remarkable lack OF
uniformity in the types of surfacing
employed.
