Resigns Position in Rank
Miss Clara Hanson, who has been
in the employment of the First Na
tional bank of this city since 1912,

ten years of efficient and faithful
sendee has given her knowledge of
every phase of the banking business.
Her ability as a stenographer and
her rapidity and accuracy in account

ity iii meeting customers not only
mark a loss to the bank but to her
many friends as well. Miss Hanson
has no plans for the future and will
be at home at Decorah. Her tnany
Waukon friends hope that something
will open up that will bring her back
to Waukon.—Waukon Standard.

MONTANA OIL
Cat Creek Field Gets Another Pro
ducer in Second Sand.
The Melstone, Montana, Messenger
tells about another bg strike of oil
in Montana. This field is only a
mile or two from E. K. Hovden’s
land and naturally it is being en
hanced in value all the time. The
Messenger has the folowing to say:
The Cat Creek field on Wednes
day of last week again determined
its productiveness of its second sand
when the Frantz Corporation brought
in the second big oil well of that
field. The new well is a gusher and
its output is 2000 bbls. daily.
Less than a month ago ithe Mid
Northern brought in a gusher pro
ducing about 3000 bbls. per day. This
makes the 85th well for this field.
The output of this field last year
was two and a half million dollars,
and the field is now shipping out
of Winner, over two train loads per
day. If taken into consideration that
it is only one year last September
since they struck the first well, the
Cat Creek oil field is fast becoming
one of rthe big oil fields |of the
United States. Montana with its
oil wells, coal and ore and its pro
ductive soil will soon be among the
leading states of the union.
At Melstone, Mont., one of the
most severe thunder storms in a
year or more was experienced here
last Monday night. A heavy rain
followed it which came in nice for
the crops, which are looking fine this
year.

RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION
Mill be Held at Deeorah, lowa, oil
August 12, 1922.
The United States' Civil Service
Commission has announced an exam
ination to be held at Deeorah, lowa,
on Aug. 12, 1922, to fill the position
of rural carrier at Locust, lowa, and
vacancies that may later occur on
rural routes from 'that post office.
The salary of a rural carrier on a
standard da ly wagon route of 24
miles i- sl,soo per annum, with an
additional S3O per mile per annum
for eacl?« mile or major fraction
thereof in exces> of 24 miles. The
salary on motor routes ranges from
$2,450 to $2,000 per annum, accord
tions for motoft ftOv and wagon
rou es are no longer held. Appoint
ments to both positions will be made
from the same register. The exam
ination will be open only to citizens
who are actually domiciled in the
terri ory of the post office where the
I vacancy exists land who meet the
other requirements set forth in form
' 1977. Both men and women, if
qualified, may enter this examina
tion, but appointing officers have the
legal right o specify the sex desir
ed in requesting certification of
elig’bles. Women will not be con
sidered for rural carrier appointment
unless they are the widows of U. S.
soldiers, sailors, or marines, or the
wives of U. S. soldiers, sailors, or
marines who are physically disquali
fied for exam nation by reason of
injuries received in the line of mili

he offices mentioned above or from
the United States Civil Service Com
mission at Washington, D. C. Ap
plications should be forwarded to the
Commission at Washington, D. C.,
at the earlie-t practicable date.
Crowd Following Officers
When a police alarm is sounded
here, it should not be the duty of a
'crowd to start out ami follow the
I officers. Last Sunday night an
1 alarm was sounded about ten o’clock
| culling the officers to a residence on
Washington street, where there was
j a suspicion that a couple of fellows
were trying to break in, the occup
ants of the resident being away at
the time. When the officers were
1 notified, a crowd started to congreg
ate and follow the officers, and this
' prevents the off.cers from catching
1 the persons who are making the at
tempt to enter a residence. A little
' judgment on the part of residents
when the police alaim is -ounded
should be u.-ed ami people should
j not rush on the trail of the officers,
but give them a free hand to ap
prehend any su-piciou> characters or
burglars.
