and successfully harvested by persons
who would otherwise have been depend

from about %27,7 to $50, 900, or "a

been observed, the financial aspect Is in
reality the least important.
The committee in their report OBJ

it was even necessary for want Of suf1-

1t is an error to suppose that because
people are poor and needy they refuse

offers. From the experience Of the com

Another favorable result is found IN
tbs fact that several Of those who have
successfully titled the various lots have
now secured small farms for market

OLD LOVE LETTERS.

In lonely room, in foreign town.
I've been reading the letters she
wrote TO me;
And my eyes are wet as / lay them
down,
And my thoughts run back to the
days when we
Dreamed our dream in Already.
Well | remember the story old
In the Light of the wise old stars
above.
And the strange new JOY as the sweet
lips told
was the lord of her maiden love.
Low her voice, like gentle dove.
Her morning of life was as pure and
bland
As the good Christ taught in the old
EN- day;
l used to think that her little hand
Would lead me ON where the sunny
land lay:
Over my soul was her sanity sway.
My heart was bold and my purpose
I vowed to win riches to lay at her
feet.
70 win her name that would never
All this to win for my princess
sweet
Dust and ashes, glitter and heat.
Fond letters came to me over the land
For a word of love, just q little word;
Then another came, ia another hand
With a message, beneath the writing
blurred.
