We have an idea that wheat can be

fact that our canals can water the

I Mr. John W. Horn of Dallas was a
business visitor to Bay City yester-
' day.
Milam Watkins, after a visit '
with her mother. Mrs. George
Kelly, returned yesterday to
home at ClemVilie
Tlie civil service commission is
now planning a drive to make up for
tlie great lack of stenographers in
government departments. They will
have examiners in all States, and
have asked the United States employ-
ment service to co-operate with them
in getting male stenographers.
Tho civil service commission is now ;
trying out an experiment in two or
three places whidi, if successful, will
enable them, they hope, to get the
papers through in forty-eight hours
after the examination This will do ;
away with one of the greatest defects r
of the system—the delay in putting ,
through the papers of applicants.
There is practically no limit to the
number of stenographer that will be '
required and there is no danger of
going beyond the number wanted.
A campaign for women stenograph-
ers is going to be launched that will
be launched through the council of
national deefnse, but any young wom-
en who apply now will be most ac-
ceptable.
Examinations for stenographer-
typist or typist only, will be held ev-
ery Tuesday, at the following Texas
