EHsIER 10 PLEASE

Several months ago when the demand
for help OF all kinds was for greater
than the available supply there was a
tendency on the part OF many appll-
cants for work at the United State En-
ployment Service to be little hard to
please. Conditions are now somewhat
different. Many men now out OF EN-
ployment are beginning TO realize that
jobs are harder TO get and keep and
when offered work, are more eager In
accepting It than they have heretofore
been.
While there has been a decided letup
in demands for laborers OF all kinds In
this section OF the country. there Is
still fair amount OF work yet TO be
finished on war work and the service
Is still placing many men.
