] UNCLE SAM CALLS FOR EX- Geo. G. Shaw, Grand Chancellor day from a business trip to cities
FERIENCED MEN. I of the K. of P. Lodge of. Texas,
I hi the call for volunteers op-'spent Sunday here the guest of
members of the local lodge. Mr.
Shaw makes his home in Kauf-
man, but spends most of the time
visiting the K. of P. Lodges
Texas.
I port unities are offered to men of
|experience to serve thir country
at a salary that is in many in-
stancs above what the men are
<-i.ruing today. The government
needs men of experience to help
carry on the work of maintaining
his big army, and putting through
plans for winning the war. There
is a cry for engineers, plumbers,
stenographers, bookkeepers cooks,
bakers telegraph operators car-
penters painters, printers, electri-
cians and a seore of other lines of
work in which men are wanted.
-Men who volunteer and accept
places in the various departments
will bo exempt from draft and
will probably never see the line of
battle. While they are in the ser-
vice of the government they get
all living expenses paid, and the
salary which in many cases ranges
from fifty to one hundred dollars
per month, is clear profit, or can
be made so by the man who will
save his money. Volunteers who
are not experienced in any trade
will of course have to accept ser-
vice in the regular army, and will
be the men on thl firing line in
the battle. Men who wait to be
drafted will have no choice in
selecting a place, but will be as-
signed to any duty the army offi-
cials see fit to give them. But it
ia expected that the men will be
put on the work fur which they
are best fit Jed.
