first place, to locate
the man and the jobs. 1t laid down a
very comprehensive scheme which call
ed for the cooperation of the Post
Office Department and the Department
of Agriculture. The government has
the machinery for carrying out a plan
of this sort at very little expense. Its
first act was to prepare cards that
might be nailed up on the bulletin
boards of post offices. These cards
called the attention of the public to
the fact that any man who wanted
employment might get a blank from
the postmaster, might fill out that
mail it free of charge, it being al
ready addressed The poster also ask
ed the attention of employers of Dor.
Any employer. needing men, might get
a different sort of card for his pur-
pose. This he filled out. stating the
sort of man he wanted. the nature
of the work that would be required of
him, the wages that would be paid
This card might also be mailed with
out postage.
When the Labor Department had
these placards ready it turned them
over to the Post Office Department
There are $4,000 post offices in the
United States. The Postmaster Cen
eral issued instructions to each post
master, directing him to post in d
conspicuous place the placardS sent.
At the same time he sent the blanks
that were to be given out upon applica-
ton.

War Affects
Bureaus Work

Bureaus Workout i in EUROPE war '7 This
war affected the employment plans Of
the government In various ways. In
the first place, it left more people out
Of work than in normal times. In the
second place, 1t caused a shifting and
readjustment Of labor to meet new con-
ditions, for some industries were in
jured while others were stimulated.
Finally. it had the effect of leaving
one large bureau of the department
with practically nothing to do and
made it possible that the machinery of
that bureau might be devoted to
large extent to the task of finding en-
ployment for those people who were
out of work.
This was the bureau of immigration.
Since the war began aliens have practi-
cally stopped coming to America.
Therefore. this branch of the govern
ment's activities has had less to do
than formerly. The United States is
divided into eighteen immigration dis
tricts, in each of which is maintained
an office headquarters for the gov
eminent agents who look after the dis
tribution and we'll being of foreigners.
The men in charge of these immigra-
ton districts are today busily at work
operating their offices as employment
agencies. They are the active points
in great scheme in job finding that
the Department of Labor has just in
augurated.

to explain them wherever they might
They were told, for instance, to advise
the farmers that whenever they were
in need Of laborer it would be adj

wanted through this government

letter carrier to bring out the slips
and to fill in the blank spaces to be-
come a part of this new method of get
ting farm help.
The placards and the blanks were
sent out two months ago. They are
now to be found in practically every
post office in the United States. Already
workmen and employers from coast to
coast are making use of them. 1t is
not to be expected that a general APP

Immediately grasped nor that the re-

But gradually interested parties will
place themselves in touch with the
federal clearing house for labor
Every effort will be made to prevent
this system of distributing labor from
causing a congestion of men at any one

from a place where there is a strike
or a lockout, applicants for work will
be informed that such is the case.

RIVAL JEHUS SETTLE

GRAND CANYON BRINK
Combat Between Competing LiV-
erymen Staged at Rim OF
Road Where Fall Would Have
Meant Death.

PHOENIX, Aug 3.-The largest
crowds i'm the history of the Grand
Canyon are causing trouble among
persons operating livery vehicles in
the vicinity of the rim of the canyon
and through the national forests.
Deputy United States Marshal
Charles S. Price is just back from the
canyon and Flagstaff, having been
called to the north to take into Gus
tody Al Gartin, an old time Flagstaff
citizen charged with running a livery
business I'm a national forest without
a permit.
Gartin was taken to Flagstaff and
given a hearing before United States
Commissioner George A. Fleming. He
was turned loose on account of insu-
ficient evidence The plaintiffs failed
to shew where Gartin intended to
commit a crime, as he thought it was
all right to run the business until the
permit arrived
The Gartin affair, it is alleged.
came about through trouble between
Gartin and W. w. Bass, rival heads
of livery companies Bass has been
in the business for many years and
since the great crowds of tourists
have been swarming to the canyon
this summer on their way to and from
the California eXpositions several new
livery companies have appeared on
the scene
This has caused great rivalry be-
tween the heads OF the livery con-
Germs and brought about trouble, es-
pecially between Gartin and Bass.
Some time ago Gartin drove his
livery vehicles up toa spot close to
the FL Tovar hotel on the rim of the
canyon, and Bass objected on the
grounds that it was where he stood
his vehicles while waiting for the
tourists
Beat it," said Bass to Gartin.
You make me tired" replied Gartiu.
Words became warmer and finally a
hstic encounter ensued, during which
spectacular fall of a mile of two
straight down was narrowly ayerted.

A Socialist As Defined By Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.

Wheeler wilcox.
Who is a Socialist? 1t is a man
Who tries to formulate or aid plan
To better earth's condition. 1t is he
Who, having ears to hear and eyes
to see,
Is neither deaf nor blind when might,
rough shod.
Treads down the privileges and the
rights which God
Means for all men; the privilege to
toll.
To breathe purelair, to till the fertile
soil
The right to live, to love, to WOO, to
wed
And earn for hungry mouths their
bread.
The Socialist is he who claims no
more
Than his own share from generous
Natures store;
But that he asks, and asks. too, that
no other
Shall claim the share of any weaker
brother,
And brand him begear in his own
domain.
The Socialist is the one who holds
the best
Of all Gods gifts is toll; the second,
rest.
He asks that all men learn the sweets
of labor,
And that no idler fatten of his
neighbor;
That all men allowed their share Of
leisure,
Nor thousands slave that one may
seek his pleasure.
Who on the Golden Rule shall dare
insist.
Behold in him the modern Socialist

$3.963 and making the gross earn

Four Thousand Year Oldest Tablet
Unearthed.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. "a
Babylonian tablet, believed to have
been buried in the earth more than
four thousand years and containing
the earliest law code. recently has
been unearthed and is now in DOS
session of Yale university. 1t be-
cah,e known today. The tablet is
heavily crusted but part of it has
been cleaned and deciphered.
The laws are written in the Su-
merriam language. the language Of
southern Babylonia, prior to its
conquest by the Semites of accar-
dams in the time of Hammarabi.
Owing to the imperfect knowledge
of the language the work of deci-
phering is extremely difficult but
university expects to have complete
translations made and published.
The laws that have been trans.
lated refer to legislation concerning
injury to women; the reputation OF
children who have perhaps been
adopted; elopement; the hire Of
boats and cattle; and provisions fol
the killing of a hired OK by a lion
These laws are believed to have
been written $500 B. C.
