I Gumption is Alleged to Have Misrepresented the South ern States GOVERNMENT WANTS Washington, D. C, Jan. 23. There oday in the city of Washington in I0it5 attract little notice, out wnose ,nhPrs are doing a very large Dit t()Ward winning the war for America .m array of stenograpners ana typ- is 12.000 strong, recruited from rerv State in trie union. A majority ths soldiers of the notebook and toewriter are girls. Day in and day H their mrnDie nngers iaitnmny ii nut the tremendous volume of hsrrespondence and records required a great nation at war. They wear badge nor uniform, their work is Trork and lias no "thrill nor ro- feance, but the United States could siay in the war a month without mem. Tie rapidly expanding departments : the government in Washington sploy stenographers and typists with ereed that seems insatiable. The tinted States Civil Service Commis sion estimates that there will' be government employes of this lass in Washington at the end of lot this year. Owing1 to the general de mand the commission is finding it a difficult task to meet the calls of the departments. Examinations are held every Tuesday in 450 cities and the commission states that an examina tion will be held in any city at any time, day or night, when there is a prospect of assembling a class of three or four competitors. Eligibil ity may be obtained through passing an examination in practical tests in shorthand and typewriting. It is practicable to complete such an ex amination in one hour. Representa tives, of the Civil Service Commission at the postoffices in all cities are fur nishing definite information to per sons interested. One thousand two hundred miles by water were covered during the sum mer by the first river postwoman in England in delivering letters end packages to the bungalow and house boat dwellers along the Staines reach. One of the nighest salaried women holding public office in New York city is Miss Mary Catherine Tinney, who receives $3,500 a year as general in spector of the Department of Public Charities. hy YouVe Not Hoarse Any MoreP ?leasant to have your friends give you this greeting isn 7t it ? But pleasanter still to KNOW for yourself; that you're free from Catarrh and to "feel like a sew man.' 7 Catarrh is an insidious trouble, gener ally more dangerous than is realized ; frequently re garded as merely "a bad cold" that you haven't teen able to get rid of in the usual way. Look out 1 (Special to The Dispatch). Raleigh, Jan. 23. Clarence Poe, amiable citizen aDd judgmatical man, literally takes the hide off "Gumption" and its daddy, The Farm Journal, of Philadelphia. Gumption has been making faces at the South again and Poe's characteri-l zation of the publication and its "vari eties of mendacity makes Heinz's 57 kinds loom up as a personified mono. ony. Gumption's offense is" its publi cation anew of a map of agricultural resources in. which the Southern! States are blacklisted with the arid lands ofthe West, Texas and Oklaho ma. Poe's first shot in "your infamously misleading map," just 17 words, from the superscription which is "gentle men." . It's the only place time the farm journal editor of Raleigh so far forgets himself as to be polite. He is good and mad about it. The map is such a palpable piece of meanness that one of the most even-tempered men in the country pipes with anger. The issue of Gumption explains that no matter what the producer makes, this map', will show where it will sell," and again "the country's spend ing power is concentrated in the 29 States where The Farm Journal dom inates where there are most people, most wealth, most crops, most buy ers and most stores." And with this statement," contin ues Poe, "you flash before the public your viciously conceived and manipu lated two-toolor map." In art, Nofrth Carolina is blacklisted with Delaware, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louis iana and Arkansas of the Southern States, and North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mex ico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada," as States to be shunned by the adver tiser seeking prosperous and progres sive farmers. Tny TnJ Y - n . n . J ,1 i x uo uttu jjiovnjucsijr looucu a. map aa unbiased as the North Pole. It took the United States government statis tics and printed the crop values of iai7. North Carolina with its S68.- 000,000 crop in 1900. its $142,000,000 in 1910 and sings a song of prosperity that amazes. In 1917 the arieftiltural production of the State amounted to $417,000,000, going a few hundred tnousands beyond New York, which also raised $417,000,000 and J 5.000.000 ahead of Pennsylvania. And North Carolina produced this five million excess on 8,813,000 acres of improved lands against Pennsylvania's 12,673,- 519 acres. Mf,4 Poe-exnlains whvlie writes wiia bucu eac. ne aoes not ten tne Pennsylvania paper that he has done so personally, but somebody has di rected the attention of the Philadel phia farm journal to its misrepresen tation and it persists. That's what gets Poe s dander up. He desDises impertinence on" top of stupidity or ingenuity and he is sure that this is not a genuine mistake. Maude Balllnaton Booth Comina. Maude Ballington Booth will be the big attraction of the North Carolina Conference for Social Service which meets m Raleigh February 14-16. Mrs. Booth is written up in Who's Who as a professional reformer and the wife of another reformer, but the English woman will be "reported without prejudice" as the legislative term goes. She is one of the fore most women, of the world and has been an international figure more than 25 years at the age of 53. She is the daughter-in-law of the exeat Sal vation Army General Booth and sis ter-in-law of the exceedingly dramatic preacher who was -in North Carolina last year. The conference of 1917 had Kate Barnard, of Oklahoma, who sDent sev eral days in Raleigh and made several addresses, one before the General As sembly. Rev. M. L. Kesler. suMrin- tendent of the Thomasville orphan age, is president of the conference this year. -FOR THE SOLDIERS wFQ m&k ill m twrTVO Ira For-the "safe and sane," scientific treatment of this all-prevalent malady.
