BIG JOB TO
FIND JOBS
'KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS GET
THOUSANDS.
iEven Badly Disabled Men Are
Quickly Placed by Earnest
Workers Veterans Paid
to Find Work.
When Jnnios White, U. S. Marine,
-was operating a machine gun nt Cha
teau Thierry, lie did It with vigor ami
vim, as every good Marine always does
everything with vljror and vltn. Now.
.Jimmy White, instead of blazing away
with n nmehlne trim of war, is Mazing
away with n machine gun of peace
operating a high-speed mimeograph
machine In a high speed way, and with
one arm,
Jimmy got his at Chateau Thierry
'three pieces of shrapnel In his arm.
It had to come off to save Jimmy's
lllfe. Nothing daunted, he Jet It part
company with him. And he was blue,
very blue, for a long time. Until, in
the hospital, looking dolefully at the
place where his arm used to be, Jimmy
was accosted by a Knights of Colum
bus secretary, who told him to cheer
tip and figure on getting a nice, snappy
.Job when he returned home.
Jimmy White was a cynic. lie didn't
believe nice, snappy Jobs came to one-armed
men. lie thought he was
through as a useful citizen. He was
disillusioned once he struck home. The
K. of C. lined him up with 09 other
veterans, put them In automobiles and
ruId them $4 per day to scout for Jobs
for their comrudes and themselves.
Jimmy found a Job the second day
out In a big advertising plant, operat
ing the mimeograph the busiest
:mimeograph In the world, Jimmy
thinks.
This Idea of the K. of C. of paid
veteran Job finders Is resulting in six
hundred jobs each day for demobilized
soldiers and sailors, and the same fig
ures. In proportion, holds good in hun
dreds of other cities. The Knights
conduct more than 1,700 employment
bureaus throughout the country, lte
.milts on a proportionate scale are be
ing obtained throughout the country.
It was rather a lold idea which the
Knights of Columbus put ''in, effect
-when they recruited hundreds of ouij
-veterans of the war soldiers, sailors
and marines and put them on the
Knights of Columbus pay roll at the
rate of $4 per day to find jobs for their
comrades uud Incidentally for them
selves. While the Knights, through their
secretaries uml individual members of
their organization, had already found
hundreds of jobs for ex-service men,
the same story of doing'the right thing
liy the returned men was beginning to
lose something of Its punch. So Jos
eph C. I'elletier, K. of C. supreme ad
vocate and a member of the K. of C.
eommlttee on war activities, hit upon
the Idea of letting the returned men
present their own arguments to em
ployers. The scheme was Instantly
adopted, and within a week Peter W.
V)lllns, late government Industrial ex
pert, who Is director of the K.-C. em
ployment and reconstruction bureau,
liad enlisted the one hundred men he
needed, and the drive was started
Against the,) out-of-work line by the
arae men who had helped smash the
Hlndenburg line.
Dividing the city Into cones of man
vfecturlng and commercial centers and
splitting up the small, compact army
of 100 Into squads of ten, each squad
beaded by an experienced K.-C, work
er, who coached the veterans In their
manner of approach, the attack was
made.
The men presented themselves fn
talking teams of two and three before
mployment managers In large offices
and factory superintendents In large
plants. In as few words as possible
they presented the reasons why the
men they represented should be given
Immediate employment. On the first
day, with a record of 300 plates vis
ited, a total of 5S7 Jobs were captured.
All told, the Knights have placed over
35,000 veterans In good Jobs all over
the country. There are 37,200 Knights

HOLDING BONDS IS THRIFT.
Sailing Liberty Issues for Lets Than
They Are Worth Is the Heicht
of Tolly.
Two things are true when a Liberty
Bond changes hands for lens than th..
highest market price. One person is
selling something for less than its
value; another person Is lucky In strik
ing a bargain; one Is a chump, the
other is fortunate.
You may argue the one Is forced to
sell, rnssibly true, but his banker will
lend him nearly the amount of hii in
ves'ed capital on his bond, or will show
htm a way to get the highest possible
value.
The record of the s;ile and purchase,
of Liberty Honds shows one thing
plainly, that virtually all the Liberty
Bonds that are sold are finding their
way Into the hands of thrifty persons
who realize that the bonds are selling
for less than their real value. These
purchasers will hold the bonds until
maturity when they will be at par, and
undoubtedly at ronsiderabl.v above par
In narly every case.
If there Is a more decided example
of tfirift than this, the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington would like to
know of It.
Harb nger of War Fable.
Since ancient dny the locust has
been the flying wing of superstition.
People forget from 1012 till 1910 that
the locust has markings on his wines
which carry n distinct letter W, which,
when itoced, usually results In many
s.orles that war Is at hand, the letter
W being supposed to stand for the
word, war. Hut the fallacy of such
a supposition Is In Itself evident from
the fact that the word for war In
French does not begin with W, nor
docs It In Italian or Spanish.

It stiffens the will, also brightens the I

you are beginning right, begin to

Work for Explorers. '
Vast expanses of grazing land and
Immense forests await exploration In
tho northwestern part ot Paraguay,
known as the Gran Chaco. which' is
Inhabited mostly by nomadic tribes of
Indians. It is estimated that Para

Delicate Mechanism
Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precisiont A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
maflcet in the face of acute competi
tion from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements of intelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon? .
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?
Let us tend you a Swift "Dollar".

Said the facetious feller: "In the

designated as 'one lunger I suppose
the eimp who owned one had a Rood

Ms chief complaint Is either gas-trltls

To Carry Heavy Loads.
One way of carrying two buckets of
water with the least possible expend
iture of energy Is the hoop-carrying
method of Macedonia. There a small
ooy will carry a man's load by walking
inside a hoop which keeps the weight
ree from the body and distributes
pressure.

OnilQCnCG The very nature of the government and of business practices tends to teach
confidence. Taken Into daily practices It makes for better society, strong friendships and
consequent prosperity.
Resultant upon the war there has grown up a feeling ef economic unrest In Russia the

Socialism, I. V. W.'lsm or Anarchy. Hut It differs In degree; some are disciples of Karl Marx,
while some are the willing followers of A. C Townlcy, Non partisan league dictator.
A prominent physician told a patient that being sorry for one's self Is the most difficult
disease to cure The preaching of the Socialist agitator tends to make the prospective victim
sorry for himself, breeds discontent and promises a paradise of chaos Instead of organized

A Constitutional Convention will be held In Nebraska In December. Nominating petitions
must be tiled for delegates by August 0 election In November. Who will represent you at that
convention? Who would ynu hire to manage your business If you were sick? Better apply the
same reasoning to tho election of a delegate to the convention that you would to the man who
handles your money or your horses!
There is danger that a dominant minority may control the convention and dictate
policies to a subservient majority.
The New Nebraska Federation urges the election of delegates who are broad enough to legislate la
the Interests of all the citizens of the state; men who are actuated by patriotic Intelligence rather than
class prejudices.
If you are interested in the purposes of our
Federation we solicit your membership in any
of the three classes $1, $5 or $25.
