banks explain this expansion by
calling attention to the large
volume of paper secured by gov
ernment war issues that they are
obliged to carry. That is recog-
nized. There was no other way to
win the war.
"On several occasions there have
been increases in discount rates
made by all the Federal reserve
banks almost simultaneously, be-
cause of the fact that the same con-
'dition existed in all twelve banks,
as the reasons for expansion were
general in their nature and not
confined to any one locality or dis
trict.
These increases in rates had the
effect Of halting expansion for a
time, but 1t is recognized that still
further checks may be needed to
exercise a needed restraint upon
those banks which neither do not
recognize the danger of continuing
to expand their credit. or, recognize
ing ii, feel the pressure to grant
additional credit. in order to in
crease production, which is the fore
most need of the country and the
world"

1T is a recognized function of the

THE GOOD SAMARITAN.

The Salvation Army campaign is
making splendid progress, but it can
not attain to that success which is
hoped for it, unless we all do our
part to make that success possible.
The Salvation Army fills it's own
place in the community, and fills it
Samaritan. never too occupied nor too
hurried to stop on the journey to give
aid and succor to one fallen by the
wayside.
But it's province is not only to aid
those who are far on the downward
way. but to lend helping hand 10
the man or the woman who is
stranded temporarily; to give COM
fort to the comfortless and pity to
the broken, in many paths which 9TH
ers miss.
The Salvation Army is indeed the
army Of the Lord" fighting evil un-
der the banner Of righteousness. 1t
reaches where other organizations do
not reach; it has its own unique
methods which have proven so success
full, that today the Saliva ton Army
encircles the globe.
While the Salvation Army originated
in England, the American branch has
become perhaps the strongest of all
its forces. It has done, and will con-
tinue to do, a splendid work for hu-
mainly. and is worthy of the help of
every man and woman and child in
this country, who hold to the creed
of love to God and faith in humanity.

ALWAYS FASHIONABLE,

She wears a simple bonnet,
To frame a tender face
A simple kind of bonnet,
But it has a certain grace;
Just as the face she turns to you,
So gentle and so kind,
Speaks a heart that's filled with pity,
And an understanding mind.
It has gone with her down many paths
Where Mercy led the way;
1t has stood for benediction
To those who could not pray:
It has come to mean the emblem
OF a type that shall endure;
The Salvation Army Lassie;
Was ever maiden truer?
Let us give to aid her freely,
Let us help to keep her there,
Standing like guardian angel,
Tending off the hosts of Care
Keeping back the hordes of misery,
Pointing to the realms above
Working in the name of Christus,-
Whose other name is Love.

POSITIONS FOR
MANY WOUNDED
WAR DEPARTMENT MAKES Ar
RANGEMENTS TO PROVIDE FOX
Ex-SERvlcE MEN WHO ARE IN
JURED..

through the Service and 1nformatioh
Branch Of the General Staff, it is an
nounced that there are several tnou-
sand civil positions under the war
department now open for discharged
soldiers partially disabled from wounds
or diseases incurred in the war.
For some months past Secretary OF
War Baker, acting in conjunction with
the Federal Board for Vocational
Training and the Civil Service Com
mission, has been working on a plan
whereby the War Department might
provide for the partially disabled SOL
diers under its own jurisdiction. This
plan has now been worked out, and is
fully described in Bulletin No. IL, just
published.
Congress has already provided that
in making appointments to clerical ana
other positions in the executive branch
OF the government preference shall be
given to honorably discharged veter-
ans and their widows or wives. This
statue does not exempt applicants from
the usual examinations under the Civil
Service, but they will be required to
attain an average percentage of only
65 in order to become eligible for APP
pointment, while others must make at
least 70.
Age limitations are also waived for
veterans; they will be released from
all height and weight requirements, ex-
cept for the positions of guard and
Waterman; they will be certified for
appointment in the War Department at
Washington without regard to the APP
portionment of appointments among
the states and territories; and after
passing the necessary examination, they
will have their names placed on a reg
lister ahead of those not entitled to
preference.
Quoting from the new bulletin: "The
War Department, the Federal Board
for Vocational Education, and the Civil
Service Commission will cooperate to
facilitate in every way possible the
employment under the War Department
in the District of Columbia and else
where, of partially disabled soldiers on
an equal basis with those who have
not sustained physical injury.
ITO become eligible for permanent
appointment the partially disabled SOL
der must qualify through the usual ex-
animation in the same manner that is
required of other persons seeking en-
ployment in the classified Civil Ser
vice. Having SO qualified, he is entitled
to the preference in appointment"
The following defects will not bar
veterans from examination, but may
prevent appointment to particular
position: Paralysis or epilepsy, not Sc
rious in degree; loss of both arms or
legs; loss of arm and leg; badly Grip

Press Comment
No Reason For Change.

Ernest Amos, our efficient comp
troller. picked up running mate at the
last moment. Just rounding out his
first term of splendid service, we were
in hopes that he would be returned
without opposition, according to Gus
tom in regards to this important office.
Mr.. Amos is being opposed by Cap
tain Angle. @. M. c., who served over
seas and will probably stress this
point, while Amos is in the same boat
with many others of us who stayed at
home and helped out in the many
drives put over to win the war.
Full credit should be given to all for
doing their Bit, and this paper surely
wants them to have it. The Captain
saw active service with the quarter
master corps, and no doubt supplied the
troops efficiently.
It would be poor business policy for
the people to turn out faithful, trust
ed, experienced employee just to give
another fellow with no experience the
job. One doesn't do it in his private
