EMPLOYMENT AGENCY WILL BE OPENED HERE BY THE, GOVERNMENT
Birmingham Will Be Center of Zone 6, C0mprs- ing States of Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South CarOlina-Will Charge No Fee to
 Either Employer or Employed

, tai and Idle hands. to the cheer and happiness of both, and the prosperity of the greatest neutral nation on the globe.
 Somewhat different from private em- ployment bureaus. Uncle Sams offices will not charge any fee to either em- ployer or employee, but will bring the two clements together as a philanthro- pic, altruistic venture. The office of the division of information of the United States immigration service in each district will have a competent man ir charge of each bureau, who will keep himself informed of agricui- tural manufacturing and commercial conditions. and will ask aid from other offices, or divert help to other bureaus, as the circumstances may de . mand.
 Shipping the Employers
 Beyond this. the governments of- ficers will receive from employers money for the transportation of em- ployees, and will check the applicants baggage and forward the check to the employer as collateral for the good faith of the man to whom the funds were advanced. Then, the seeker for work will be placed vn train fully tagged and labeled through to his des- tination.
 Finally strangers within the gates will be sheltered and guarded from the wiles of the wicked until shipped through to destination, and interpret CTS descended in direct line from the inhabitants of Babel will warn them against thrusting good money upon strangers in hope of receiving 1t again fourfold.
 In time Uncle Sam hopes to have great labor clearing house, and thus to deplete the ranks of the army or the unemployed"

Shingles Held Responsible

"Shingle roofs and negligence on the property owners part. Is what is wrons here iE my belief" said J. A. Levert ot the Levert-George Insurance agency ''The shingle roofing, no doubt, is passing and in time will be eliminated but 1T the meantime it is causing fires and lots of them. Property owners are careless accidentally or habitually. It makes nc difference, for it results in poor house, keeping conditions which upon the leasl prcvocetion brings on a. fire.
 The fire department, I agree, is toe small for the area of the city"

They are showing them in

Some Of them have the feathers

many. Others, without the feath-

just a little more closely to the
conventional.
The One Price at the store for

And if you can beat the price
