DO YOU NEED FARM HELP? 
The Jewish Agricultural and Industrial Aid 
Society has on its lists men wishing to obtain em¬ 
ployment upon farms. Most of them are witl out 
experience, but they are able-bodied and willing 
to work. They speak little or no English, although 
many of them speak German. If you can make 
use of such help, please communicate with ns, 
stating what you will pay, whether the woik is 
permanent, and whether you prefer a single or a 
married man. We are a philanthropic organiza¬ 
tion, whose object it is to assist and encourage 
Jews to become farmers. We charge no commis¬ 
sion to employer or employee. Address
