Early preparations to assist the farmers in this icinity in securing sufficient and compotf-nt farm help ate ho ins made and John S. I'ordnet local c ounty aent with ottic in the court house has application forms-, both for the employer and the employe. Kvery younpr man, before beins directed to employment v. ill be carefully investigated by the employment service ottice to make reasonably certain that he i3 of the rieht sort. The United States Employment Service at Chicago, oporating with the Immigration sirvice of the United Xtates department, of Labor are c operating with all county agricultural agents in order that thi reat need may he properly tilled. Last year. this department was quite Miccessful in choosing boys :ir.d youn men fr.un this community who succeeded i:i j'iinic satisfaction with farmers wh.o were induced to vo the men a trial.

Mayor-Elect F. II. Carson authorized the following statement K.itu relay. "If what I am told is true and if what I have experienced is significant I feel certain no mayor-elect of iouth Eend has passed through what I have in nn endeavor to select boards that in my conscientious belief would lender the best character of service to the people and meet the cordial approbation of the public. That has been my aim in every individual selection I hae made. In presenting my appointments I do so with a feelins that I have performed a duty which will reflect credit upon the new administration and result in servicewhich will be to the general public benefit.

"I fully appreciate that no man about to assume the very rcrponsible duties of a city's chief executive can name to till appointive ottices men who will be satisfactory to the entire public. I realize that some one will insist that he could have done much better in every appointment. And I abso know that that criticizing person would occupy the same position in the view of some one else had it fallen to him to make the appointments. No incoming' executive can make appointments that will be unanimously satisfactory to the people. Appreciating that fact I have endeavored to please the majority but always keeping in mind honesty and rfllciency in the public service and hiih personal character as the qualities I jemand in the men to become a part of the new administration.

"If I have made a mistake in any appointments time will soon make that fact apparent and I shall not hesitate to make a change. Every man who has accepted an appointment has dne so with a clear understanding that he must r icn if he cannot measure up to the hiv:h standard that has been st for the next four years. If any, perchance, does not understand it he might as wdi realize the situation now. I know as well a any me the ureat Possibilities

of the next four years in South I'end and I also know as well as any one that we cannot make necessary progress in the people's interests unless we have high grade men in all city departments. I have endeavored to select such men but if I have not judged rightly, if any of my appointees cannot act in keeping with high ideals as announced in the platform on which I was elected, then a change will be made.

"My greatest desire for the next four years is to serve the people and not to build up a pölitical machine. That was my desire before election and it still is my desire and will continue to be. I have made appointments on that basis and I shall expect every act of the administration to have in view the one great object service for the people. And will you say for me that I shall tlepenj upon the people of South Bend to aid in every possible way in making the next four years the greatest in South Uend's history. I seek the cooperation of the people, asking them to always feel free to come to me or to any member of the administration whenever they have a complaint or whenever they have a suggestion. I want this to he a people's administration and I want the people to feel, regardless of who they are, how they voted Nov. 6. or any other time, whether they like or dislike me, whether or not they agree with my policies, that they can come to me as the mayor of all and speak freely and frankly."

Cond of $5.0 00 has been furnished by Mr.. Elizabeth Iiuday. charged with murdering Aleck Czinke about a week ago. Xo plea was entered by the defense as the case was brought up in city court Saturday, and the hearing was eet for Jan. 5. .Steve Uolizar. al.o believed to be connected with what Coroner Swantz declared was murder, is held awaiting hearing on the same date. Czinke, according to the police, was thrown out of the lluday restaurant. 1020 W. Division st.. by the pair now charged with murder. He managed to make his way to his rooming house, a short distance away, but was spitting blood upon his arrival there. Physicians were called, but were unable to f-ave him. He died within a few hours. Jt was suspected that Czinke dietl as a result cf the treatment he had received, and so a post mortem examination was held. This revealed the fact that death had been due to a fractured skull and hemorrhage of the brain injuries which, the loctors said, could not have been caused by other than intentional blows.

Dear Brother I received your letter yesterday and was sure glad to hear from you and glad to hear that everybody was O. K. I could not feel any better and am having a very good time. And it is as you said, when I received your letter, I would be in France. Very correct. And if you have to join, join the same section that I am now in, for it is the highest branch of service you can get in. Haven't llown yet. I am very sorry I did not get to see you before I left New York, but we tidn't know we were leaving until about three hours before time. We are having fair weather here, but no snow. Well, if you were in France you could get anything you wanted for a cold, for there is lots of wine here. The people here tto not drink much beer, mostly all wine, but I cannot go it, although it Is very good wine. We were quite a long time coming over. We made 20-23 knots an hour. I didn't get seasick at all, enly one Might right after supper. I ate a whole lot and I came up on !(ck and I felt kind of funny, so I sat down on leck and I came out of it fine. Didn't see any big fish on the way and didn't see any subs either. The sea was very rough. Sometimes the waves would enme over the decks. We came on the Adriatic. A big boat rides very easy. I can't tell you much more. Wha1 I am iloing and where I am at, you will have to guess at and wait until I get back so I can tell you. Guess this is all for you. Your brother.
