MANY FOLK SEEK
PLOYMENT
Promotion Committee Receives
Applications by Every
Mail.

Should Secretary H. P. Wood con-
clude to open an employment bureau
in connection with the Promotion Com
mittee work, he would have little diff
Guilty in supplying the demand for help.
Every mail brings numerous requests
for information regarding jobs and ev
cry walk in life is represented. Clerks
and others leading sedentary lives are
rather in the majority, but there are
plenty of applications from other folk.
To each and all Secretary Wood sends
the same answer. Men who have suf
fcient money to wait until they have
a chance to look around and become
conversant with local conditions, are
told that they stand a good chance of
getting into something lucrative. Men
who can not afford to play waiting
game are advised to stay away.
Many of the letters received are evil
IDENTIFY from men who have made more
or less of failure of life, and hope
to start anew in Hawaii, but a great
many letters are also received from
men and women evidently occupying
lucrative positions. The general rea-
son given for wanting to come to Ha-
/ waii is a desire to lead an open air
life.

arrived by the last mail:
