No. 3 DEAR FOLKS.

Il ployment Bureau whei all of the men laborers in tl Wilson & Company plant, Ch cago, are employed, invited n to sit in his office all of or morning and look over the me who applied for jobs. l a. cepted his invitation and 1 ha a most interesting experienc| I will tell you about 1t.
 In the first place 1 heard pra1 tically every man may" 1 wal to work here, boss, becaua Wilson < Company treat me right and you give them chance to get higher up in th ranks when they make good! In the second place I noticed with great personal satisfad tion, that the manager treate every applicant for a job wit as much courtesy as if he weI receiving him in his ow home.
 In the third place, l got tn surprise of my life when l sal men, who had been told by tn manager that he could not giv them anything to do just then leave the office with a smil| and a thank you. 1 I wondered why men could smile an| say thank you after being told tha| there was nothing for them to dd So I asked one of them what ther| was to smile about and why he sai| thank you, and he said, in effect, this|| !"Oh, the boss, there, is always kin| to everybody and I like kindness. know he would give mo . job if h| could. I am coming back again untl I get job with this company. l van Ito work here because I am sure q getting square deal"

 CTS who will keep up the good fellow
 ship and the loyal spirit that exist |so markedly in all departments c

 He made no mistake in choosing tn
 manager of the Mems Employment Bu

 The manager told him that hs guesse
 he had made a mistake in applying him for a joh--thAt evidently ! |; wanted an office position. or. perhap wanted to go on the road as . eale' man-that he employed msa oa who were willing to work with the hands. Mark what this soldier eAsd:
 "No, I don't want an easy job. wal to work with my hands. I found ms self overseas Living in trenches as going over the top made . aaf1erei , man of me. That hard work gave health and strength.
