America Is Best Land
Today for Everybody
Secretary Lane Says Coun-
try Cannot Stand Still
Because There's Too
Much That Must Be
Done Good Times Ger
tain to Come.
BY FRANKLIN X. LANE,
Secretary Of the Iuferior

Sttrethry OF inc Interior.
This country cannot stand still. We
have too much to do-too much that
must be done. The urge of the Amer
ican nature for progress does not per-
init us to be idle.
We have been thinking so much in
terms of Europe. Asia and Africa that
We have got to take a little time to
bring our minds back to America.
Can Produce Surplus.
This is SO great a country and we
nave so much to do; there is so i'm
perlous a demand for buildings and
bridges and machines and roads an,
cloth and shoes and food right within
our own country that we do not need
to think of the world demand so far
as keeping out own people busy is
concerned.
Just as soon as We get this into our
heads we will start again on the old
job. and when we have supplied what
America needs we will be able to pro-
duce a surplus that Europe can have,
and Europe will want it for a long
time.
This is today the best land under
the sun for the workingman and the

prints for cesspool construction will
be issued. together with information
regarding the main points of the pro-
posed regulations. No new houses are
to be built without approved sewage
disposal. This is a step in the direc-
ton of improvements advocated by the
Clarendon Citizens Association and
endorsed by all other county civic
bodies. The gathering and disposal
OF night soil will continue for the
present by private contractors, but ad-
ditional sanitary precautions are to be
taken at the final point OF disposition.
II Is the expectation OF the board
that in the near future the county will
undertake this work with its own
teams and make a profit out OF the
service.
