DIES MONIES, July s1.-AocordfnA
to estimates Just completed by A. Il.
Urick, state labor commissioner, 1,s5S
men for unski1led labor WIFI be need
ed in Iowa during the period of two
months beginning August l.
The commissioner bases this esd
mate on responses to inquiries sent
by him few days ago to 120 firms
in the state asking as to their labor
needs for the period indicated.
Only twenty-nine replies were recefv-
ed in time to prepare the data rela-
tive to Iowa's labor needs for trans
mission to the labor department at
Washington.
To Make Allotment.
The firms making the replies
stated that they needed 3sT white and
so colored laborers immediately and
would need 446 white and 81 colored
men in addition for the rest of the pc
Rod. From these figures Mr.. Urick es-
tfmated the needs OF those not re-
spending at 27s laborers needed imme-
diately and TBS during the balance OF
the two months.
The purpose OF these estimates is
to furnish the federal government
with information as to Iowas labor
needs to be used in connection with
laborers to be supplied by this state
for war work This allotment will be-
based on the number of unskilled lab
orers needed in Iowa taken in connec-
ton with the total number of such
laborers on the census report of 1915,
estimated at 1885 meB in all ages.
Estimate May Be Low.
'T am inclined to think that my es-
innate as to our labor needs NAV have
been placed a little low" said Mr..
Urick. Il doubt if the companies re-
porting to me put their estimates high
enough. In that case, the government
allotment of labor to be furnished by
Iowa viii probably be fixed at a figure
that will take away more of our men
than We can well spare. l am under
the impression, however, that We will
be able to meet the situation all
right

thing like it, There never was anything like il in this

You can't become a good citizen by just living your
own life. You should help others-not necessarily with
money, but with a helping hand and a cheerful word
Of announcement. Your contribution to the general

fore. There is suffering around YOU if YOU can only oe
large-hearted enough TO recognize it.
Don't forget the fine biblical admonition that starts
