FREE EMPLOYMENT
Law IN EFFECT
Bureau Now in Operation in Des
Moines-List Posted in the
City hall.

A new law enacted by the Thirty
sixth General Assembly went into
effect on July 4th and will be of i'm
mense benefit to the unemployed
who really desire employment. This
is regarding the state free employ
ment bureau which has already
been established at Des Moines and
is now in force.
In the city clerks and auditors
offices in this city is now displayed
a list Of applicants who desire work
and the kind of work desired is also
stated. Upon the same bulletin is
list of those who desire help and
the kind of positions to be filled
These bulletins are required by law
to be changed monthly If not week
ly, with revised lists kept up to date
and the very fine thing about this
service is that it is absolutely free
to the users.
Employment bureaus flourish in
every Stable city in the state, but
they require a fee from the appli'
cant or the employer. In some cir
cumstances, such as were experience
ed in this and other states during
the past winter, the payment of a
fee would be an impossibility. Ev'
cry kind of a request for work is
given proper attention, from clerk
ships to nursemaids, cooks, etc.
The list received by City Clerk
Crittenden has already been posted
in the lower hall directly in front
of the main entrance where it may
easily be seen.
Barber shops, restaurants, etc.
have for years been in a manner op'
Grating employment bureaus, the ap
plications being posted upon black
board or in like conspicuous manner
and many farmers have obtained
help for the farm or renters in this
manner.
Newspapers furnish an avenue fol
those who can pay to advertise, but
there is a class who are without
means for advertising and this i!
the class it is desired to reach BY
this law.
It has even been considered ad
visable by city officials to place
permanent bulletin board in the cit!
clerks Office upon which may b.
displayed free of cost, requests TO
positions here in the city. This mat
ter will be taken up in the near fut
ure by the city council.
Any information which may b
desired at any time regarding thi
bureau will be cheerfully given an
assistance rendered by City Clerl

The Most
Unique HeiiTess
BY Marie Ollie

Hetty Green, the worlds most uni.
que heiress is undoubtedly the most
shrewd business woman living today.
Although she is not self made, as
her mode OF living has led many to
believe, she has succeeded in in
oreasing her original fortune of SO.
oOO,OOO to ten times its size in fifty
years of her business career.
Despite her mammoth fortune Het.
ty Green lives almost as frugally as
q shop girl. For more than a half
century she has not been establish,
ed in real home but has drifted
about in cheap hotels or lodging
houses. sometimes registering under
the name of her pet dog and putting
MS name on the door plate. Occas-
ionally she takes fiat in some OBJ.
scure corner of New York.
In her garb she is as unpretentious
as in her abode She invariably
wears black-a worn rusty black.
Her costume consists of a black
dress of an obsolete cut, a short
black cape and little bonnet Of a
design calculated to give the great
est amount of service. The face Of
the heiress Of millions Is so unfa.
miliar to the public that she is sci.
dom recognized on the street.
Hetty Green infrequently rides any
where. She never appears in a car
riage or automobile and she will not
ride in a street car when she can
walk. Her whereabouts is a constant
problem to the tax collector, whom
she freely admits that she lodges
whenever possible. Her assessed
property however Is generally limit.
ed. She maintains very little real
estate. The property of stocks that
she acquires she sells quickly. Her
simple formula for business success
is to buy when cheap and sell when
high. She will sell at a small profit
rather than run the slightest risk for
higher one.
Much of her fortune she has made
by the lending Of money and the sale
of the properties secured through
foreclosures. She has never lost
money in lending. She invariably
investigates mortgages in person and
will accept only unquestionable Sc
curity. One of the most successful
foreclosures in which Hetty Green
figured was that of Chicago proper.
ty. She sold for millions of dollars
hundreds of acres OF land in the
heart of the city that she had OBJ

money to wealthy New Workers.. It'd

Press correspondent who has visited
recently a dozen or more French
villas and chateaux which now serve
as staff headquarters for various
corps or divisions of the German
forces found that reports of theft and
destruction of property in these
French homes were not true. In all
of these places, without an exception,

LEASES A PART OF
THE GRIZZLY BEAR
ATLANTA TO OPERATE SOUTH
HALF BELOW t40o-
FOOT LEVEL

The Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company, it was officially announced
yesterday afternoon, has given lease
to the Atlanta Mines company on the
south half of the Grizzly Bear claim
from the 14OO level down, says the
Tribune. This will enable the At
lanta Mines company. if necessary,
to follow the vein, which it is now
developing into the Grizzly Bear
claim. The Consolidated company
some time ago discontinued work on
the l400 level, 1t is believed that
the development of that ground below
that level can be more economically
and advantageously accomplished
through the Atlanta workings upward
than from the Consolidated workings
downward.
The Atlanta is now running a
raise to connect with a crosscut
which extends from the Grizzly Beat
workings on the 400 level to point
vertically over the present Atlanta
raise The work will be expedited
by Wine which has already beer
started from the crosscut above tt
connect with the raise below. This
will greatly improve the ventilation
of the Atlanta workings.
At the present time and for somt
time past the raise 1010-A in the At
lanta has been breaking approximate
ly six feet of 500 ore, and with thu
increased efficiency that will be gain
ed by the improved ventilation, thu
management believes that the Atlant.
can be put on a paying basis.
