Free State Employment Bureau.

The State Free Employment Bur-
eau at Des MOines is unable to sup
ply the demand for single farm hands
just at this time, owing to the lack
of applications from single men
These calls Tor help come from all
parts of the state. Wages offered
range from $50 to $40 per month,
board, room, and in some cases wash
ing and mending.
AS the season for farm work is
near at hand, all wishing farm work,
single men especially, are urged 10
file applications at once. All that is
necessary to file an application is to
simply state name and address, age,
nationality, experience and whether
married or single.
Farmers who will be in need Of
help for the coming season are re-
quested to file their applications as
soon as possible so they may be pla:-
ed in touch with applicants seeking
that class of labor. The bureau now
has upon it's lists a large number Of
married men well experienced in
farm work who are seeking positions.

Gasoline.

Gasoline is a thin, Watery fluid
which is drank as beverage by mo-
tor cars. Some cars are heavier drink
ers than others and are unable to
get zen miles from filling station
without developing a raging thirst,
after which they are traded off to
somebody who has never owned an
automobile in any form.
Gasoline comes in several grades,
any one of which will run an auto
mobile down hill in very satisfac-
tory manner. Low test gasoline is
the most popular, as it costs less and
can be told from kerosene at once
by setting a match to it. Every few
days some fearless hired girl tries to
start the kitchen fire with gasoline
and discovers that it will burn with
great rapidly. Nobody has never set
fire to five gallon can of low test
gasoline without regretting the act
and retiring from the scene by piece
meal.
. Gasoline is also used for cooking
purposes, being inserted by hand in a
stove. Many people prefer the cleo
trio heater to the gasoline stove,
which has to be taken to the plumber
every once in while and be fitted
with bright new stomach.
Gasoline is composed of Pennsyl-
vania crude oil and plain, unferment-
ed river water at the ratio of 10 to l..
The free coinage of gasoline in this
country has become so prevalent that
this ratio varies from 16 to 1 to to
16, with the result that thousands Of
automobile owners have to stop on
the public highway and swab out the
carburetor with sponge. It is ex-
tremely annoying to a conscientious
tourist to stop at a wayside garage
and pay 20 cents gallon for gasoline
and discover little later that he
might just as we'll have turned in at
the town pump.
The price of gasoline is controlled
by board of directors who do not
ride in anything but steam yachts,
and is sold in large quantities to peo-
pie who have not paid their grocery
bill since the Spanish-American war.
This price varies from week to week.
And for some time it has been vary
ing upward in series of heart-rend-
ing leaps. But we are SO continued
as people that we can get along
meat and flour and under
wear easier than gasoline, which en-
ables us to visit relatives who do not
own a car and trade joy rides for
room and board.-Howard Ram.

A South American Hobo.

Of hoboes. The name is byword In
South America, and as far as THAT con-
tinent is concerned he is unique type.
We find rich people everywhere and
poor people everywhere, but in no 9th

do we find this good natured, service
able, deceitful, ragged, drunken. crimi-
nal species of tramp. He earns live
lihood by begging, doing odd jobs and
thieving. The last is his mainstay. In
his hands stealing has become a fine
art. The Chileans have Il saying that
he will steal your socks without touch,
ing your boots. A long, jointed wire
with hook at the end is his favorite
tool If window on the street Is left
unguarded he will with this simple
contrivance successfully remove from
the interior everything but the heavy

Our Navy a Century Ago.

One hundred years ago the naval
force of the United States on the At
lantic coast consisted Of thirty-three
vessels, twenty-seven Of which were
in commission Among them were
dozen great ships. first class frigates
and soops of war, some Of them car
rying as many as seventy-four guns
each. They were all sailing vessels.
The era of the steam warship, how,
ever, was close at hand. With the aid
Of an appropriation from congress
there was now nearing completion a
floating steam battery" designed by
Robert Fulton. This ship. which was
launched few months later, was the
first steam war vessel ever built and
was destined to revoutionize the meth
DDS of naval warfare throughout the

India'e Hoarded Gold.

For many years London has been
steadily drained Of her gold by India.
In ten years India has absorbed from
circulation 15O.OOOOOO gold sovereigns
and boarded them away The coolie
has learned that silver rupees are
poor investment, especially If he melts
them into anklets or nose ring for
his wife. as over 80 per cent Of the
silver is lost in the melting pot, while
the gold sovereign preserves its value
whether he keeps it as coin or melts
it. When a coolie collects Is ru-
pees which he finds to be temporarily
surplus he buys a sovereign with 1t.
He has come to understand the wis
dom Of boarding away only the gold
coin, which be knows he can always
realize on at its original value.
