GREAT DEMAND FOR
 STENOGRAPHERS


 Stenographers and Bookkeepers are badly needed in the Government of fees at Washington according to let ter received by Draughon's Practical Business College, Little Rock, from the Honorable Martin A. Morrison, Presi- dent of the United States Civil Ser vice Commission He says that the shortage of stenographers and book keepers in Washington is so great that the situation has become acute and seems to grow worse instead of bet ter.
 Some branches of the government service are calling for stenographers in great numbers. The Bureau of War Risk Insurance recently asking for one thousand stenographers and typists at one time. In addition to the entrance salary of S1200 year bonus of from $10 to $20 a month is given by the government MT. Morrison says that the average stenographer who enters the government service at $1200 a year will receive after one months satis- factory service, pay at the rate of $14OO a year. Promotion to higher salaried places is reasonably rapid, and de pends on the ability of the stenogra- pher. The demand for bookkeepers in government service is equally great. A shortage of trained office help also exists in Little Rock and throughout the state of Arkansas. Last month Draughon's Little Rock College had 104 calls for stenographers and book keepers. They were able to fill only g of these positions and after making every effort to secure young men and women with the required training had to leave 47 of the places unified
 The need of trained office help is so great that every one who starts bus mess training may rest assured of a position just as soon as he is able to meet the demands of the business world
 Preparation for the Civil Service examinations is q part of the regular course of study at Draughon's College and any young man or woman with common school education can expect to qualify and secure one of these po- Sitions by devoting a few months to business training
 Catalog of the school and descrp- tive literature will be sent to anyone interested.

 URGES SUCCESS
 IN THRIFT DRIVE
RECONSTRUCTION CAN ONLY BE FASTENED BY THE SPIRIT
 OF NATIONAL SAVING.
WORK WELL AND SAVE WELL
Experiences Gained by America and Britain in Great War to Be of
 Lasting Benefit.

It is good thing for those Amerf- cans who think their country Is hard taskmaster In requesting economy, saving and adherence to the many rules and regulations made necessary to any nation that has been at war, to note that the government of the United States Is not the only govern men which is advising its people to live well. work we'll and save well.
 Our ally across the sea-England- is uring the unit. of her people in thrift and saving. to keep the industry of that country from declining, which would mean disaster and longer period of reconstruction.
 In a memorable speech made by King George, not long since, in Lon don, he said:
 With the end of the war great chapter in the history of our country Is closed. A new era which is open Ing before up brings It's own tasks. and the same qualities which have carried as to victory will be needed in full measure for the work of re- construction. The spirit of union, self sacrificing and patience which our peo- pie displayed during years of fighting. will still be required if we are to reap the full benefit of the peace which we have won. And those great qualities must be reinforced by the homlier vir- tues of industry and thrift.
 "As was inevitable in the prosecu- tion of the war. we have been losing largely on our capital Now that we are at peace again our country urgent ly demands from every citizen the ut most economy in order to make the best use of the resources which our nation possesses, and strenuous and unremitting industry in order to in- sure the greatest possible production of tfe necessary commodities. Without these We cannot hope to maintain the high position in the industrial and commercial world, which we held be- fore the war. I am confident that the ancient and sterling virtues of the British people will not fail us in our hour of need"
 The confidence expressed that the English people would bend every ef- fort in the interest of their country's veal is splandid. and we of America should give the same assurance to the world that We Will not allow our com merciAl intsrss4s to faltsr
