They do not know where to look for
work, but are anxious to go anywhere
where there is an opportunity to have
a home and small wages, so they can
keep themselves supplied with neces'
sary articles.
During the past few weeks the So
ciety for the F'riendless has sent out
large number of such men to farms.
They keep on coming and more farm.
ers can be supplied. Any farmer in
terested may not only do a favor to
a needy man, but secure the help he
needs by writing letter to the So
ciety for the Friendless, at 206 4th
st. S., Minneapolis. If the work to
be done, wages that can be paid and
such other information as is neces-
sary is stated, man can often be sent
at once, and any farmer who really
needs help will not have to wait long
for it.

Farm Hands May Be Had.

It may not be generally known to
farmers that good farm hands are
plentiful in the cities of Minneapolis
and st. Paul at the present time.
These men are not idle because they
want to be. They have been working
in the harvest fields of the Dakotas
and Canada. They have been work
ing on farms where the farmer need
ed help only for the summer months,
and their engagements have ended.
They have sought work in the vicin-
ity where they lived, and could not
find it, and have eventually drifted in
to the city. Many of them have trav-
elled from place to place looking for
work, and 50 have spent their money
without finding work.
The result is that many of them
are in the cities without money, with
out work, without food or place to
sleep. ..
The Society for the Friendless has
many calls from such men as this.
