Washington, D. C., Oct. 14.—Now
that Uncle Sam has the young men of
tlie country in training for military
service, he finds that he needs 10,000
typewriter operators and stenograph-
ers and typewriters, both men and
women, for the Departments at Wash-
ington. The Civil Service Commission
has notified all of its 3,000 boards of
examiners that they should put forth
their best efforts to secure these ur-
gently needed workers. While exami-
nations are now held weekly in 450
cities, the Commission states that ar-
rangements will be mado to have an
examination held at any accessible
place where a small class of appli-
cants can b^ secured. The entrance
salaries range froita $1,000 to $1,200
a year. Promotion is reasonably rapid
to those whose services prove satis-
factory. No appointments can be made
to these or other positions in the Fed-
eral classified civil service unless au-
thorized by the Civil Service Commis-
sion under the civil service law. Any
information to the contrary is unau-
thorized. This is a splendid opportuni-
ty to serve your country. Full infor-
mation may be secured from the secre-
tary of the board of civil service ex-

Bob Fowler's, in northest corner of
7-1 east, 18 miles southeast of Nor-
man, committed suicide about 12
o'clock on Sunday by placing the muz-
zle of a shotgun to her left side and
pulling the trigger with her foot. She
was some 33 years, of age and leaves
husband and five or six children. No
cause for her act is given, but ill
health and hard work had made her
despondent. An investigation was
made by the officers but no inquest
held, as it was a clear case of suicide.

Mrs. L. J. Edwards, an old resident

man, died Sunday evening at her home
in Norman, and the funeral will be
held from the residence on the Boule-

houses to cjose their doors between
those hours on said date.
In witness whereof I hereunto set

Liberty Bonds
Prayer Meetings
The Oklahoma Qity Liberty Bond
campaign committee gives it out good
and strong that if the campaign is to
be a successful one, men of wealth
must subscribe the greater bulk of it,
and point out that in the campaign
for the sale of the first Liberty Bonds
many men of wealth subscribed for
a measley $50 or $100 bond, while
many of the middle class and wage
earners took $200 to $500. These latter
cannot take the second issue. The very
great majority "went their limit" in
subscribing for the first isste. Make
these men of wealth who are endeav-
oring to shirk their duty, come to the
! front and do their part. God knows
