chester Raises $500 ON Palm
Sunday

Several weeks ago Rev. c. G. Leth-
erman, of Manchester, through his
church officers distributed to the men,
bers and friends of his parish a lental
folder and denial envelope with the
view of raising $1,000 on Palm Sunday
for the church debt.
Unlocked for success crowned this
effort After the offering for the even
ing had been counted, the pastor said
he had only one regret, in that he had
underestimated the liberality OF his
people. Then in a few we'll chosen
remarks announced to the large and
anxious congregation the cash collec-
ton for the day $500.
Rev. I4etherman has served this
parish for less than year but in that
time he has earnestly and faithfully
been trying to do the Masters work.
How we'll he succeeded can best be
judged by the loyalty and generosity
of his people in their Palm Sunday
offering.
We give Thee but Thine own,
What'er that gift may be,
All that we have is Thine alone
A trust, o Lord, from Thee"

Des Moines, June S.-The report of
the state free employment bureau for
the month Of May, which is now COM
plete, shows that total of 37S persons
applied for work thru the bureau this
past month. OF this number 2S9 were
referred to positions and $50 of these
applicants were successful in securing
employment.
There were 10 employers who asked
for help, the total number of persons
asked for by employers being sol.
About 80 per cent of those applying
for work wanted farm jobs The eff
forts made in all parts of the state to
secure farm help were largely respon-
sible for the big per cent of applica-
tons for farm work.
In every county where there is a
county crop agent a thorough canvass
was made of the farmers who were
wanting farm help and the total num-
Der of employees asked for was sent
in to the free employment bureau. In
other counties where no farm agents
were employed, other agents were
used to find out the amount Of help
needed. The newspapers co-operated
in securing the applications for farm
work as did commercial bodies and
other organizations so that more than
enough applications were secured for
the positions listed. The farmers. how
ever, have refused to consider the ap-
plication of any but experienced men
and inexperienced men were discour-
aged from applying for farm work.
The bureau Is still receiving some
applications from farmers wanting
farm help and for the most part has
been able to supply the demand.
The bureau, which has been making
a similar effort to secure applications
from manufacturers and others want
ing help by asking the commercial
clubs to send in list of men wanted,
is now listing factory help wanted.
Only a few Of the commercial clubs
have reported as yet, however.

Council Bluffs, June S.-The annual

Emerson, of Creston, was the author
oe resolution which was adopted and

asking the United States war depart
meat to create an embalmers' depart
nent in their health unit and to place
at its head a qualified embalmer as a
comm issioned officer whereby the
bodies of the soldier dead might be
properly EN- balmed and returned to
the mothers Of the United States. The
association took the position that it
would be g. lesson in humanity for the
United States to do this and it was
argued that the efficiency of the army
and navy would be increased by the
addition to the health unit of embalm-
ers. The complete dissection of hu-
