FOR OUR SOLDIERS
The United States Civil Ser
vice in Washington, has called;
our attention to the Civil Ser-;
vice opportunities for ex-ser-;
vice men, and has asked oui
co-operation in bringing this j
matter to their attention.
Thinking this may be of inter- j
est to you, we are publishing!
the following information forj
such use as you may desire to j
make of it:
“Nearly ninety thousand j
persons will be engaged in the
work of collecting the facts;
and figures about Uncle Sam’s
gigantic family after January
2, 1920, as that is the date for
beginning the enumeration of
the population of the United;
States. In this project nearly,
eighty thousand workers will i
be engaged in field work,;
while a balance will comprise
the Washington office force,
where the tabulation, classifi
cation and statistical work will
be done from the information
secured from representatives
of the Census Bureal in the
field.
In this, as in every other
Gvernmtnt activity, Soldiers, |
Sailors and Marines will be1
given preference in appoint
ments. This is accomplished i
by giving all service men pref
erence on the eligible list of
the Civil Service register. The 1
majority of the appointments

of the Census Bureau are gov
erned by the C’vil Service rules
and regulations and the Civil
Service Commissioner announ
ces an examination for Census
Bureau clerks on October 18th
and November 15th.”
There are about 3000 local
Boards of Examiners of the
Civil Service in as many cities
in the United States. These
Boards have a complete list of
all Civil Service positions, and
are posted up to date on all
changes.
It is thought our soldiers
might be interested to know
that a Veteran Preferance bill
h.as recently passed Congress,
giving preference in original
appointments in clerical and
other positiops in the Execu
tive branch of the government
in the District of Columbia or
elsewhere to honorably dis
charged soldiers, sailors and
marines, and widows of such*
and to the wives of injured sol
diers, sailors and marines who
themselves are not qualified,
but whose wives are qualified
to hold such positions. De
tails of this bill can be obtain
ed through the Tocal board of
Examiners of the Civil Service
Commission.
EASIER NOW THAN LATER
It is easier to break up a
cold or check a cough now
than later. ' Persistent bron
chial coughs that hang on all
winter pave the way for seri
ous throat and lung trouble.

STATEMENT FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF THE
FARMERS’ UNION
As president of the State |
Farmers’ Unoin and a former
member of the “Information
Committee on Cotton Seed and
Seed Products,” I feel that I
should make a public state-)
ment for the benefit of the
farmers of the state and the I
public. I contended from the
very beginning, and Mr. Jim
G. Ferguson, Commissioner ofj
Agriculture, agreed with me!
that the committee could not
and would not consent to be
ing used to bear down the pric'' -
of cotton seed. I believe there
is some force holding down the
price of cotton seed against
the law of ’supply and de
mand. Acting upon this as
my preipises I firmly believe
today the producer should be
getting $80.00 per ton for his
seed, and Mr. Ferguson agrees
with me.
I believe it is wrong to figure
from the top down, and when
the producer is reached leave
him out of the consideration..
If everything above must have
a big and fixed profit, I believe
the producer should have first
consideration and first profit.
I am going to contend for this
all the way through.

Pres. State Farmers’ Union.

in the year meets the demand of the physician

top, its broad seat and deep upholstering, its
slidingplate glass windows*by whichinaminute
the car is changed from a closed car to an open
car. Equipped with an electric starting and
lighting system, demountable rims with
inch tires all around and embodying all the
established merits and economies of the Ford
