PLANS LAW THAT WILL CURE
PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYED

Washington, July 6.-An inter-de-
partmental committee named by Sec
rotary of the Interior Lane and Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson is working on
a plan to relieve unemployment, IN
der which the Federal government
would finance workers desiring to take
up farm land. A complete program
with preliminary drafts of necessary
legislation is to be framed before Con-
gress meets in December, to be pro-
posed in connection with a rural cred
it's bill.
The plan contemplated a system Of
farm credits operating through the
Department of Labor. which would en-
take up agricultural land on govern
ment reclamation projects, or public
lands on easy payment loans.
"The proposed plan," said Commits
sioner General Caminetti, of the I'm
migration Bureau today, would elm
mate all overhead charges, as the Off
GERS who would be employed are al
ready in the service of one of the de-
partments cooperating. One of the
departments involved would have a
representative in most counties of the
United States. The Postoffice Depart
ment would certainly have one or more
employees in each county, particularly
at the county-seat, where records Of
real estate transactions are kept. The
departments would possess exceptional
opportunities to examine and report
on the quality of land offered as Sc
curity for loans; and attend to other
details"
Mr.. Caminetti suggested that a part
of the immigration fund, consisting of
the head tax collected from immi-
grants which now amounts to some
$40, 900 900, might be used in financ-
ing the unemployed feature of the
rural credits plan, on the ground that
~congested conditions and ~unenploy-
ment are due to the concentration of
immigrants as we'll as native citizens
in the larger cities.

THE FLIRTING 1 r

The first question a young man esks
when he sees a girl flirting is whether
h is respectable girl or not. You
see how it raises a doubt at once.
This being the case, surely no modest
girl can afford the slightest degree of
this pastime. When the down is
brushed from a peach the beauty is
marred so that it can V be replac-
ed, and when a young girl throws
lightly aside that sweet and modest
reserve, so becoming to a maiden. and
which so elevates her and enables her
to command the respect of all, she
loses her greatest charm and becomes
rather common and cheap, to use the
harsh terms. Flirting may seem to
the giddy and thoughtless girl to be
wonderfully amusing, and she may
even get an idea that she is quite fas-
c1nating, but it is a most degrading
thing and should be frowned upon by
every young girl who has an ambition
to become worthy and charming

BOYS SHOWING THEIR
FATHERS HOW TO FARM.

The boys corn club work is worth
the study of the men. We have all
heard arguments in days gone by, as
to whether or not it is possible to pro-
duce a hundred bushels of corn to the
acre. 1t has been done in most OF the
states in which corn is grown at all
not only by men, but by boys.
A statement is before us showing
the results of the work of the corn
club champions in the states of Min
nesota, Indiana, Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania and Iowa. There
are twenty-one of these acre cham
pions, whose fields are equal to one
21-acre field. On this area these boys
grew 2,238.12 bushels of corn, at a
cost of $525.58, or % IL cents a
bushel.t
The average yield is 1861 bushels
an acre, the lowest yield 62.5 bushels.
The lowest yield for champion is in
Massachusetts, and the highest in
Pennsylvania, where Frank RimeI
grew 148 bushels to an acre, at a cost
of about 26 5-8 cents a bushel.
Other Massachusetts champions
grew over a hundred bushels.
These being club champions, not
state champions, the results are re-
markable both rs to yield and c6sts.
There was a good profit on all the
plots, as labor is counted in as a part
Of the cost.-Farm and Fireside.
