WORLD WAR VETS.
It has been stated that the offi

the city of idlers, have embarrass
ed one or more returned soldiers,
by advising them to secure jobs at
once. This is a mistake. The re

all the consideration possible by
me.
Neither has the Mayor or Chair
man of the police department di
rected any action against unem
ployed veterans. We all stand
ready at all times to help the hoys
secure employment. We hope that
it will never fall our lot in dis
charging our duty to make a case
