bUa Labor
Situation

DES MONIES, Iowa, July 25.-In no
state in the union have the affairs of
the gathering together and the dis
tribution of labor been better cared
for than in Iowa The Office of A l..
Urick. labor commissioner, has grown
to be one of first importance and his
long experience in handling the labor
questions has enabled him to be Of in
estimable value to the people of the
state.
Mr.. Urick has been in full cooper
alton with the federal authorities, and
as a consequence, labor readjustments
have gone on without serious damage
in any direction.
Women are finding larger employ
ment and farm labor is recruited from
men in villages and towns who have
not been recently employed.
On the first of March, 1919, the only
free employment Office conducted in
the state was the bureau of labor sta
tistics at the state house with one
chief clerk for the performance of the
work.
Open Other offices.
Upon the recomm endation OF the
Iowa council OF national defense, adj
ditional employment Offices were open
ed in Davenport, Waterloo, Sioux City
and Des Moines. During the month OF
April Offices were added at Mason
City, Ottumwa and Cedar Rapids. In
May and June Offices were opened in
Creston and Council Blu1s. A pri-
vate employment Office at Sioux City
was taken over and at the present
time the state and federal govern
ments are operating in this state ten
state-federal free employment offices.
During the month of March, 934 per
sons were sent in to employment with
the record of $50 actual placements.
During the month of April, 2,116 per-
sons were sent into opportunities with
A record of 1,247 actual placements.
During the month of May, 3,215 per
sons were sent into opportunities with
I2,116 placed.
| For the month of June a total OF
I4,73S persons were sent into oppor-
tupities, with returns on 2,574 placed.
Women Employees Increase.
| The number of women sent into en-
ployment is steadily increasing, as the
| following will show: Arril, 233: May
/ 2S: June, 1904 The effectiveness OF
| the departme nt is, to certain extent
shown by the great variety of work
| in which these persons are placed, the
women running from domestic service
to school teachers and drafting; and
the men from common labor to en-.
gineers.
The farm labor situation has been
kept well in hand in Iowa. In fact,
Mr.. Urick was recently informed by
the agricultural bureau Of free en-
ployment service, that Iowa was in
better shape so far as agricultural
labor is concerned, than any other
! state in the union.
! The federal authorities have kept
hands off so far as shipbuilders and
lother industries are concerned, in
order that the farmers of Iowa might
have plenty of help. The Iowa bureau
was confronted by the harvest hand
proposition and during the first eight
working days in July, 427 men were
sent to the farms.
! There is just little difficulty in Sc
curing harvest hands for the farmers
| of Iowa Arrangements have been
made with the federal bureau es-
tablished at Kansas City, to handle
the IaruAst hand problem to hav,

sight OF German spiked helmet had
caused me in Belgium. It read as
follows:
"Lieut. P. A. O'Brien, Royal Flying
Corps, Regents Palace Hotel, Lon
don:
"The king is very glad to hear Of
your escape from Germany. If you
are to be in London on Friday next,
December 9TH, His majesty will re-
ceive you at Buckingham palace at
1920 a. m. Please acknowledge.
CORONER"
OF course, there was only one
thing to do and that was to obey ord
ers. l was an officer in the army and
the king was my commander in chief,
l had to go, and SO sat down and
sent off the following answer:
Earl Cromer, Buckingham Palace,
London:
II will attend Buckingham palace
as directed, Friday, December 7th, at
10 80.
LIEUT.. PAT O'BRIEN."
In the interval that elapsed, I must
confess. the ordeal Of calling on the
king of England loomed up more
dreadfully every day. and 1 really
believed would rather have spent an
other day in the empty house in the
big city in Belgium or. say. two more
days at Courtrai. than to 60 through
what l believed to be in store for me.
Orders were orders, however, and
there was no way of getting out of it.
As it turned out. it wasn't half as bad
as l had feared-on the contrary, 1t
was one of the most agreeable expe-
riences Of my life.

Just . Flower.

Here comes n market basket filled
with meat, potatoes, turnips, onions.
caulfhowers and radishes, a substan-
tial supply for the hungry household.
but peeping out from these varied table
needs Is flower. blooming from q
little pot down among the potatoes.
What a world OF melody its happy
presence impels! There Is soul In
that family desire sure enough. We
looked at the good woman who cnrried
the basket and saw IN her countenance
something fairer than appetite; sense
OF beauty that put l. smile on her face
and goodness In her heart. That was
sign Of the love that she had for her
FAMILY responsibility somewhat to
grace the table and lend n charm to
the family life. Amid the dull neces-
stiles of life she had planted a little
nower. What radiance II would bring
to her modest household, and how God
would thank her for itHC0lumbua
