LEXINGTON OBSERVES
WHEATLESS WEEK
People of Wheat Center Are I'm Hear.
ty Accord With Food Administra-

Resident Returns for
First Visit in Twenty.
Five Years.

Lexington people are in hearty ac-
cord with the ideas of the Foor Ad-

days and the conservation of wheat
and -four for our soldiers and allies
across the water. Last week was
"wheatless week" here and it was
thoroughly observed by all. 1t was
not possible to buy any wheat -four
in any of the Lexington stores last
week, because they were not selling
it. But according to the merchants,
"wheatles week" was so well lived up
to that there was very little call for
white -four. In fact large number
have expressed their willingness to go
on a wheatless diet from now on until
the end of Kaiserism.

ASKS EMPLOYERS
TO LIST NEEDS

Richmond manufacturers and en-
ployers are asked by L. c. Handley OF
the labor board, to list their labor
needs with him. Many applications
have been received from out of town
but Handley wished to keep the men
in Richmond if possible. He stated
Saturday that the reason wants were
not listed was that the employers
think that only unskilled labor is
handled by the board, and although
that is the primary purpose, skilled
labor is being handled also. Persons
wishing employment make applica-
tions and the bureau has no place to
put them in Richmond because en-
ployers have not made known their
needs.
II persons wish domestic servants
or if man wishes a stenographer
they are asked to call 1477 or come to
the labor board in the Comstock build
ing or send in written applica tons.
Also persons who wish these places
are asked to make their applications.
Every kind of labor is being handled
now. Miss Fisher takes care of the
women's department.
Applications for wood workers, ma
chinists. carpenters, painters, mach
inc workers, bookkeepers, truck driv-
ers, cooks and accountants have been
made.
