The United States employment office is being kept busy placing labor that Is coming in from the farming districts Ito work at various plants during the winter months. great many of the laborers that were shipped north by labor agents during the summer are drifting back home. The wages here are as good as anywhere in the country and the mild winters enable them to make full time.

Anyone seeking employment Is requested to call at the ioffice of the United States employment service, second floor of the Bessemer National Bank building, and they will 1 be satisfactorily located. This serv- ice Is absolutely free and Is one of the strong arms of the government in win ming the war.
