The Patriotic Conservation
Lea-rue, at its headipiarlers in
I'oitland. will receive shipments

League at Portland. Individual'
shipment s may be made, howev
er. In any case the name of the
sender, with complete address,
should appear on every paek.ig. .
in order that proper payment
may be made.
The materials that the Oregon

Twenly-tive per cent of the
value of waste received by the
Patriotic Conservation League
will be retained as a commission
lo establish a budget for the en
tertainment of Oregon soldiers
and men of the selective draft
who are leaving for the training
camps and the front. It is esti
mated that from .:t()00 to $5000
w ill be needed for this purpose,
and every young patriot who
sends in a pound of metal or rub
ber, will know that he has borne
his share in the farewell tender
ed to Oregon men who -are to
serve in France. Should a sur
plus exist it will be devoted to
the Reed College fund for the
reeonsl ruction work for wound
ed soldiers.
l'very boy and girl in Oregon,
as well as their .seniors, is urged
to begin nt once the collection of
valuable waste materials, ami to
attend to their shipment to the
League after the date of June
2Slh. In all caves the prices are
I', t). I!. Portland, and represent
the best price obtainable.
Shipments should be sent 'by
freight where possible, owing to
the prohibitive cost of express
shipments for material of this
character, and should be plainly
addressed to the Patriotic (on
serration League, Portland, Ore.,
and should bear the name nnd
address of the sender. Payment
in war savings stamps w ill follow
promptly.

STENOGRAPHERS
Washington. 1). C, June 21,
I!) IS. The United States Civil
.service ( omnussion announces
that through some misunder
standing an impression seems to
prevail thai the Government has
raised the usual entrance salary
for stenographers and typists in
the departments at Washington,
1). C to $1,100 a year. The
Commission states that there has
been no change in initial salaries
for positions of this kind; the
usual salaries at the beginning
range from 1.000 to $1,200 a
year, appointments at $1,200 be
ing in the minority. The War
Departments makes all appoint
ments to such positions at not
less than $1,100 a year, nnd
agrees to promote to $1,200 a
year after three months' satis
factory service. Appointments at
salaries higher than $1,200 a
year are rare, and the appointees
must possess exceptional qualifi
cations.
There is still great need for
.stenographers and typists in the
Government offices at Washing
ton. Those who have had con
siderable office experience are
most desired. The. Civil Service
Coiumission urges qualified per
sons to offer their services to the
Government. Full information
may be obtained from the repre
sentative of the Civil Service
Commission at the post office in
any city.

MAYOR'S NOTICE
To The Merchants of the Citv of
Hillshoro ;
I have rytieived a commitniea-'
lion front the State Fire Marshal
in which it appears he asks the
co-operation of the mayors of
the cities of the state urging mer
chants to refrain from selling
fireworks during the period of
the war.
Therefore, I feel it is incum
bent on tne to ask the merchants
of this city lo refuse to sell to
anyone during the period of the
war any fireworks of any kind
or character; I am sure this is in
accord with the government de
sire as well as of the state gov
ernment. I realize that the mayor has no
legal authority to prohibit the
sale of these fireworks, but I
know I am within my rights
when I call attention to the pres
ent condition, and ask the mer
chants to co-operate with me in
this regard.
Dated at Hillsboro, Oregon,
