LEARN A TRADE.-An acquaint-
ance, who has large family depend
ing upon him for support. was yester-
day regreting in our presence that he
had not, when the opportunity Of
fered, learned good trade. He now
is compelled to depend upon occa-
sional jobs and at the end of the
year finds that he has earned less by
half than he could with trade and
regular employment. The States
Prison statistics, of thirty States of
the Union, for 1867 show that out of
l3, 900 inmates less than one eighth
were men who had learned a trade.
Is this the ratio oftradesman through
out our country or does the neglect
of learning trades fill our Penten-
tiaries. A few weeks since one of
the best hearted and most industrious
men that ever walked our streets was
anxiously expressing to us his re-
greet that he had not a good trade to
fall back upon. Instances of this
kind are frequent. Yes, learn a
trade even though you may be al
most certain that you will not need
it. Learn 1t for the dicipline it will
give you aud the manhood and self
reliance it will impart. But learn If
more especially for the practical bene-
fit 1t may be to you, for nine chances
out of ten sometime i'm your life you
will need ii, and your family will suf-
fire for the want of it,
Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1869-10-01

MORE HOUSES NEEDED.-For sew.
eral months the demand for houses
to rent has exceeded the supply, and
to our certain knowledge a number
of families have been compelled to
abandon the idea of settling among
US, for the reason that they could not
rent houses.
While i'm Independence few days
since we were told by a citizen there
that he was Informed there were at
least fifty empty houses in our place.
This is only one of the many stories
of a similar nature, which are in
dustriously circulated from time to
time by some parties who steadily
keep some object i'm view.
But we commenced to speak Of the
need of more houses i'm our city, and
to urge that something be done to sup
ply the need, and are quite confident
that no better plan could be adopted
than to organize one or more Build
ing Associations, such as we spoke OF
last winter. These associations are
quite common i'm eastern towns and
are working successfully, and un-
doubtedly they would be still more
useful in the west where there is O
much greater demand for houses
than is generally found In the east.
United action in this matter would
certainly add to the wealth and
growth of our town.
