A FREE EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

Has Been Inaugurated by Neighboring Telephone Exchanges. At a recent meeting of the telephone association of this district it was the unanimous decision among the members present to inaugurate a free employment service for farmers and farm hands, aud others similarly concerned. The idea, as explained by Mr. Bott of the local telephone exchange. is for all farmers who want help and all laborers who want jobs to go to their respective exchange headquarters and register. In this way employer and laborer will be quickly brought in touch with each other, to their mutual benefit. Regular communication will be maintained between the various exchanges and in the event that more employers are registered at any one place than laborers, some other exchange haying a surplus of laborers registered will convey the information to them and thus enable them to find work and the employers to find help. Therefore, it is urged that all persons desiring help and all others desiring work lose no time in registering at the central office. The service is free and cannot help but operate for the good of all.
