The Federal Government wants) an oyster culturist and will pay him $2000 a year. The line of applicants forms to the right at the office of C. P. Bernhart, U. S. Civii Service examiner at the Federal Building. One of the requirements for the job is that “ordinary conversation must be heard at a distance of at | least 15 feet, one ear.” No one | knows why, because the oysters aren't talking. During the last six months 1577 Hoosiers have taken examinations for other Civil Service jobs and be-| tween 55 and 60 per cent passed, Mr. Bernhart said. One type of examination con-| sists only of filling out an applica- | tion, listing experience and other] | qualifications. The second type requires a written examination | given by 12 Civil Service board! members. Salaries range from $720 to $10000 a year. | One of the most desirable places to work, judging from applications, | is the Postoffice, whose workers re- | |ceive automatic raises of $100 a [year until the top salary is reached. | | Examination for these jobs are held [once in five years and the last one] | was held here three and one-half years ago. Civil Service employees can retire after 30 years’ work and usually retire when they're 65, Mr. Bernhart stated.

Civil Service employees are not exempt from war duty. But their jobs are waiting for them when they return and the time they spend at war is included in their pension service. If a raise is due them while they are at war, it automatically goes into effect just as if they were still working.
Nice, huh?
very nicely.

We can get good government with good men in public office, but we can't get good government with the city manager form or any other form of government without good men. “We don't want any more cases of the chief of police going to prison or a Governor pleading the statute of limitations. That's a disgrace which this group can prevent from recurring.”

Rural Population Gaining In St. Joseph and Marshall Counties.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Sept. 8 (U. P.) —Preliminary figures released after the first experimental census
in the history of the country, ree vealed that population in St. Joseph and Marshall Counties, “guinea pigs" for the experiment, had increased slightly in rural sections but had dropped a little in cities. According to figures announced by Gerald Ryan, field supervisor of the special census, St. Joseph County population increased from 160,033 in 1930 to 163,280 as of Aug. 14 of this year, Marshall County stepped up from 25,077 to 25,864, the figures showed. Detailed census results will be an« nounced later from Washington, Mr, Ryan said. The two Indiana counties were selected for the experiment because of their composite urban and rural characteristics. Data gathered will be used to determine the na-tion-wide census schedule for next year. Figures also showed that South Bend, largest city in St. Joseph County, had decreased in population from 104,193 to 102,088 since 1930. Mishawaka dropped from 28,« 630 to 28,030 in the same period, Plymouth, largest center in Mar= shall County, showed an increase from 5390 in 1930 to 5601 as of Aug. 14,
