State Officials Are to Lend Assis-
tance in This Matter.

lance III tllS WdltCis
ST. Paul, January 24.-Informal
proposals by state officials and
members Of the legislature today to
provide employment for Minnesota
guardsmen who return from the Dor
der were. expected to be taken up
by Minneapolis and st. Paul civic
organizations.
Colonel Erie D. Luce, of the First
infantry said the move was laudable,
and that persons who employ
guardsmen will not regret it from
business standpoint.
"The, men have learned true dis
cipline and they are in excellent
physical condition" said the colonel,
who is home on furlough. They
will do what they are told and are
alert. Many of the men will return
to find their old jobs taken. Some
have. families to support and any
help they can get will be patri-
otto service"
While the boys of the Second in
fsntry, who will J e mustered out to-
morrow, have been well provided for,
Adjutant F. B. Wood said the per-
certage of men without jobs await
ing them on their return is greater
in the two Minnesota regiments still
on the border.
He declared many of these men
will return without assurance of
employment unless plans are de-
yeloped to care for them.

The Benson signal., 1917-01-20

In the days of every man for
himself, man dreamed. He knew
the futility of single-handed effort.
From this vision a scheme evolved.
Many men must unite to do what
one could not accomplish alone.
Their efforts must be fixed on a
single object, the energizing of
their community. Hence came a
commercial club. It appeared as a
result, not as creation. It's task
was laid out and it was born to
meet it. If man believes in his
community, he should share in the
shaping of its future, If he is not
doing his part, some one else is do
ing it for him. There is plenty of
work for all, and a man owes it to
himself to see that the work is done
right.
