nounced and much interest in the
coming Of the evangelist was

make the meetings interesting ano
successful. Items Of information
about Mr.. Sundays wCbk in gem
eral and the progress OF prepare
lions in the tri-cities naturally de-
termine the trend of thought at the
meetings. But of course the most
important feature of the meeting
is prayer for the success of the To-

who are willing to open their
homes for one or more meetings,
or who are willing to serve as lead
ers. should make this known
through their own church or pastor
to the central committee, or call
up Rev. ]. L. Vance. Davenport

HOW INCOME OF
HOME is SPENT
The Lower the Salary the Greater
the Percentage OF 1t Goes
For Food.

The lower your salary, the
greater percentage of it you spend
for food and shelter. according to
the latest government cost of 1iv-
ing investigation.
Tables compiled by labor depart
ment experts after study of hun
dreds of family budgets show the
actual cash outlay for food and
rent is greater in families with the
higher incomes, but in the average
family the expenditures for these
necessities does not increase as
fast as the income.
In Baltimore. for instance, II
families with incomes under $500
averaged expenditures Of SSS2.95
for food and $i2O.44 for rent. The
average was 46.5 per cent of the
total income Tor food and 14.6 for
rent. The families whose incomes
were $500 or more, however, av-
eraged 1875 per cent less for food
in comparison with total income
and lis less for rent.
Comparison of Expenses.
Showing how much more cheap
~ the higher salaried families get
off in other cities are these differ
ences:
Pittsburgh, food 10 per cent. rent
rs per cent; New York, food 81
per cent, rert IL per cent: Boston,
food 40 per cent, rent 81 per cent;
Syracuse, food 43 per cent, rent 10
cent. rent GA per cent.
How families of varying incomes
spend them is indicated by tables
showing average expenditures of
different groups for Philadelphia
and Camden. N J. The table deals
with expenditures of 301 families
Of seven different income groups.
Four families whose incomes
were under 5000 a year averaged
per year for food $365.40: cloth
ing. $100.S7; rent, S176.25; fuel and
light, S63.01; furniture. $15.22:
miscellaneous. $100.52. The aver
age total expenditure per family
was s82126 and the average num-
Der of persons per family 4.3
Three families in this group re-
ported surpluses which averaged
S24.33 per family, while one had a
deficit of $157.35.
Eleven families with an income
of $500 or over averaged Ia their
expenditures for food S91442;
clothing. $476.39; rent, S25O.36;

AS an example Of the practical
constructive agencies which are

urgent need today. Charles T.
Clayton, director of the United
States training service of the de-
partment of labor. cices the indus
trial training now being given in
$50 plants in this country. Work
ers of all nationalities and grades
of skill are profiting by this sys-
tematic method of economic re
adjustment, says Mr.. Clayton, and
their disCoura cement, discomfort,
etc. are being dispelled because OF
greater efficiency, better wages and
larger opportunities. A concern
cited in this connection makes
large quantities of electrical ap-
paratus and supplies. Through its
training department many workers
have been upgraded and today are
earning better money than here

jobs better. The training increases
their independence, but at the same

 Where city water at a considerable pressure is available, frequent spraying or swinging of the plants with clear water will be very helpful in keeping them free Of insects.
 The necessity for an abundance of moisture in the soil has been pointed out. To maintain this. cultiva ton should he frequent during the early spring and as dry weather approaches. The rose bushes should be thoroughly mulched. preferably with light dry manure, although lawn clippings or cheap hay will answer the purpose. Hoe thoroughly -o destroy all weeds before applying the mulch.
 To get the biggest blooms only one should be left to a stem. For ordi- nary purposes, however, disbudding will not be necessary.
