THIS OFFICE HAS ITS
TROUBLES ALL THE TINE

seeker for positions. Oswald Stain.
the clerk in charge of the central bu-
reau, and the deputies in charge Of
the branches at Fort Wayne, South
Bend. Terre Haute and Evansville. are
preparing lists of the chronic appli-
cants for work who will not work
when jobs are provided for them.
There are scores of this kind of worth
less leeches who hang around the en-
ployment bureaus and watch for some
soft thing to turn up that they can
hook on to.
1t is said at the employment bureau
hat this class OF loungers loaf around
the place, go out on jobs where there
is a car ride in view with transporta-
ton paid. or a meal in sight with no
expense to the eater, and then give up
the work. Others of this class will go
out on a job when they are sent olt
by the free employment bureau, and
they will quit at the end of the first
day. after they have earned a dollar or
a dollar and a half. This is all they
want. and they will not work any more
until this money is gone. Then they
show up again at the free employment
bureau ready for another job of the
same kind, with the same result. This
class operates to the detriment of the
free employment bureau. because when
they are sent out on Jobs they invaria-
bly, fail TO give satisfaction. They
take only preferred work, not intend
ing to keep 1t, and thus they stand in
the way of men who really want to be
employed. 1t is discouraging to the
employer who applies to the free enl-
ployment bureau for help and then
gets this kind of help. He soon comes
to the conclusion that If this is the
best the state free employment bureau
can dc for him he will not depend on
1t to supply him with help, and he
looks ewh This, then gives the
bureau a black eye. and prevents II
from carrying out the very purpose for
which it was intended when the law
was passed by which 1t was created.
Of course, the bureau cannot shui
out this class of men. The bureau is 8
public institution, maintained by the
state, and every person in the state
has access to if>and to its benefits
Therefore, the good and the WORTHLESS;
man alike can apply for work, whether
he wants it or not, or whether he i,
willing or not. And the bureau mus
iheIp him.
ft But the bureau head and the super
| I~intendents of the various branches ar
2 now engaged in making up lists o
these chronic job seekers who will no
work, and copies of these lists will b.
t sent to each of the offices for refer
ence. When one of the listed partie
{ applies for a job he will find that h
: will have to explain fully why he ha
4 jumped jobs and refused to work whei
e he was sent out to positions by variou
r offices of the bureau. In this way tn
bureau hopes to be able to make 1T 9
: unpleasant and so Improbable for thi
s class of loafers that they cease hang
d ing around the Offices and takin
places that ought to go to more de
d serving men.

TIMES BUREAU.
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. Aug. 1S.-Troubles
are pning up on the state free employ
ment bureau. which is operated under
the Jurisdiction of Thomas Brolley,
state statistician, with p.ancnes u.
Fort Wayne. South Bend, Terre HauuS
and Evansville. and Brolley and Os-
wald Stain, the clerk in charge of the
bureau are working out plans to meet
the troubles
In the first place it is learned
through the bureau and the branches
in these cities thai there are more I'M
employed men In Indiana right now
than there has been before in several
years. The number of applicants for
positions at the free employment SUI
reau at the state house and the branch
offices is much larger than it has been
IN a long time. The officials are not
able to account fally for his unusual
number of unemployed, and they are
trying hard to find out the reason for
1t so they can do something to bring
about a better condition. There are
fewer calls from mills and factories
over the state for help now than usual
at this time of the year. 1t is said
that many factories in the state are
running short time and with reduced
forces of men, and this Is one reason
for the falling of in the demand fol
help Another reason advanced in the
fact that during this year there has
been a much smaller demand for mer
to work in the harvest fields, both ii
this state and in other states, and tina
this has left thousands of men idle II
Indiana who would otherwise have
been able to find employment at leas'
for a part of the year in the harves'
fields of the various states.
Usually there is a heavy demand fot
harvest hands in the state of the mid
l die west. and these men move from
5 state to state as the scene Of the har
{ vest changes. until at the end of TIL,
harvest season they find themselves il
the far northwest and with a goo,
seasons work behind them.
Whether the light demand for thi
4 class of labor this year is due to shor
crops or to$some other cause is no
e known. but 1t has existed Throughout
: the harvest season and still exists
Harvest is about over throughout tn
e country. Only the extreme north par
o of the country still has any portion o
. its harvest to come, and it is reporte
that harvest hands are plentiful in tn
0 state where this is still to be don,
Therefore, there is no chance for Ind
ana laborers to find any work in tha
n direction.
The officials of the free employment
bureau are discouraged over the show
. ing, for 1t means great difficulty /
placing the thousands of men who ar
constantly besieging the bureau fd
work.

\ ployment bureau work that is causin
a lot of trouble for the officials, an

FORTY.SIX YEARS.
Pastor Sigh Closes Long Pastorate-
Presented With PurSe-IntereSt-
ing Exercises.

Sunday was a gloomy day and the
roads in the country are in terrible
condition, but these things did not
prevent large congregation assem-
bling at st. Paul's to take part in
the closing of 46 years of active pas
torate of the church by the Rev. j. A.
Sigh.
It is the purpose of The Herald and
News in a subsequent issue to print a
full and detailed account of these ex-
ercises and history of the pastorate
of DR.. Sligh, together with sketch Of
his life. ..:.,
DR.. Sigh was too feeble to under
take to preach regular sermon, but
he talked to the members for some
time, giving them good advice and ex-
pressing his appreciation Of the many
kindnesses received by him and the
loyalty in which the congregation had
stood to him during all these 46
years.
He began his pastorate in this
church and preached his first sermon
as pastor the second Sunday in No
vember, 1865. This was, therefore, an
anniversary and the conclusion of his
46 years in the ministry. This church
was his first pastorate. During that
time he has organized several congre-
cations and built handsome churches,
the membership being largely from ST..
Paul'S.
Sunday was a day of sadness and
yet one of rejoicing that the relation
between the pastor and the people
was pleasant during more than a gen.
Grafton.
In connection with the service, Mr..
J. A. C. Kibler, for many years an
officer of the church, made few re-
marks and a purse containing more
than s1O0 in money was presented by
Col. E. H. Aull in brief talk of ten
or fifteen minutes, recounting the SER
vice of Pastor Sigh and recalling some
early recollections of the congregation.
Dinner was served on the grounds
and a meeting of the Luther League
was held in the afternoon.

Store Robbery.

G.. L. Havird's store was broken into
Thursday night. Entrance was made
through the back window, the glass
being smashed. A pair of shoes was
found in the yard back of the store,
dropped from an armful of goods,
supposedly, by the thief in his hur-
ried flight Mr.. Havird doesn't know
how much his loss is, but thinks the
thief grabbed shoes, shirts, suspen-
ders, tobacco, cigars, etc, promiscu-
ously and fed.
When the store was opened Friday
morning shoes and shoe boxes were
found scattered on the counter, many
pulled half way from the shelves,
some of the boxes being open, nat
boxes being treated the same way,
with other evidences of work in the
dark, but the cash was secure.

NOW FOB A REAL Pack.
Mr. J. D. S. Livingston Donates Small
Lot-Let Others Join and Build
Park.

Mr.. J. D. Smith Livingston has deed
ed to George S. Mower, chairman;
Otto Klettner, Van Smith, John M.
Kinard, w. H. Shelley and O. B. Mayer,
a lot containing between one-half and
three-fourths of an acre, bounded by
Vincent, Main and Harrington streets,
to be used as park for the white
people.
The trustees have secured option On
another strip of 24x159 feet fronting on
Main street and joining this property,
and it is probable that they will Sc
cure other adjacent property and thus
be able to start a park for the city.
Mr.. Livingston sent for Mrs. NJ. B.
Evans several days ago to discuss this
proposition for a. park, with the result
stated.
This furnishes a nucleus for the
park along the lines which have been
advocated by The Herald and News
for several years, and is really part
of the property The Herald and News
had in mind in the advocacy of the
park, the idea being to secure land on
either side of SCOTS creek from the
railroad to Calhoun street, and to
make a wide boulevard on the town
side or south side Of Scots creek.
Probably all of this can be secured
now and no doubt a good many of
those who own it would be willing to
donate it for this purpose.
It is hoped that the trustees will be
active in taking up this matter and
extend the park as indicated.
