Hired Help Secured Free!

Des Moines, March %, 19l2.-Last
year, this office added department
known as the Farm-help employment
bureau We had at that time many
inquiries for work from the young men
of our state, who we're just out of
school for their summer vacation and
wanted, a place to work. This, with
my own experience, having been born
in a log cabin in Iowa and lived on the
farm for about thirty years, caused me
to take up this line of work, knowing
how hard it has been the past few
years to procure farm help.
To day we have quite number of
men on the list who are looking for
places to work. If you or your neigh
bors need farm hands, feel free to
write me, and can then place you in
communication with a good man, the
kind you need for the spring work.
This is done for the Farmers of Iowa,
FREE, so do not fail to answer this
letter if in need of help, and if not,
telephone any friend you may have
concerning this work l am doing, and
oblige Yonrs very truly,
E. w. VAN DUYN,
Commissioner of Labor.
