LABOR BUREAU TO AID (From a Staff Corresponde Lincoln, Dec. 13.—~(Special)- Fri nloyment for members of the Ne braska National Guard now on the border is a problem to be met by the people of the state soon. Speaking of the matter today, Labor Commis sioner Frank M. Coffey said: “Adjutant General Hall is engaged in a most laudable effort to find e¢m ployment Yor the members of the Ne braska National Guard, who are soon to return from the border. General Hall is seeking the co-operation of commercial clubs, business men, con- tractors, merchants and farmers in arranging for employment for these men. The free employment feature of the state department of labor might be put to good use in this instance, Employers of Nebraska who are in need of an employe may list their wants in the department, and the de partment will in turn undertake to place the employer in communication with some one in need of employment The members of the National Guard gave up their employment in answer to a call to meet conditions not of their own making, but their sacrifice | was made for the general good.” | Crete Will Have Christmas Tree Crete, Neb.,, Dec. 15 —(Special.)— Crete is to have a wunicipal Christ- mas tree this year under the auspices | of the Commercial club.
