The young man with limited means
who has but a few hundred dollars
to begin life with, or perhaps has
nothing but a pair of strong and
willing hands, we would say to all
such young men that the farm is
the best place in the world. Do not
be afraid of toll; but set an example
to the weak and lazy loiterers about
town by putting your hand to the
blow.

The Washing conference was
called to discuss ways and means of
stimulating business and providing
better employment for labor during
the period necessary for industrial
read ustment. It was submitted that
building and construction work
served these two purposes more
completely. and directly than any
other industry. It was brought out
that the country is short beween
100000 and a million homes. There
fore, while public officials are going
in for~ public improvements, many
communities are organizing "Own
Your Home campaigns: These serve
several important and desirable ends.
Home owning means home building,
home building means labor and slim
ulated business in every locality
where a dwelling is built, the home
owner is a better citizen because his
very ownership makes him RESPONSE
BILE and Immediately interested in
the social and political welfare of
his community. Further, the home
owner does not take up quickly with
radical movements such as now are
threatening the security of govern
ments in Europe.

the Division of Public Works and
Construction Development, is coop
Grating with many communities in

to administer relief work on a
far greater scale in Palestine
than heretofore in order that thou
sands Of men, women and children in

Palestine and former Commissioner Of
Education for the State Of New York,
has cabled that this additional work is
Immediately necessary.
At least one-third Of the population
of Lebanon has died Of starvation and
disease, due to lack Of nourishment.
Many villages are virtually depopulat-
ed, and thousands Of people are In
need. owing to epidemics, lack Of en-
ployment and the prohibitiye prices Of
food.
Families formerly in the best Of cir
cumstances have been reduced to des-
t1tution. Every one is clamoring for
an opportunity to, rehabilitate himself.
Owing to a lack Of physicians the con-
ditions in many hospitals are deplora-
