Even an Indifferent "fan" could not
but notice the coincidence that on
one and the same day there were
two events both of the utmost i'm
portance to the communal life. OF
local Jewry,-a dedication and
graduation. In the afternoon, the
dedication exercises of the shelter
ing Home for Jewish Children
took place in the presence of an
audience that was notable both for
it's size and its generosity. In the
evening the fifth annual graduation
exercises of the Talmud Torah
were held and thirty children were
graduated, the largest class ever
turned out by the school, bringing
the number of the Alumni up to sew
enty-five.
1t is interesting to note that both
of the occasions dealt with the chill
dren, the "Tinokoth Shelbeth Rab-
ban," our coming successors, and
therefore were both constructive.
Naturally each institution has it's
own partizans, who will argue their
institution is most useful AS a
matter of fact both are needed. Per-
sonally we feel that the sooner
we provide for and dispose of pure
ly charitable institutions, the bet
ter. Then we shall be able to de-
vote Our attention to the most
urgent as we'll as to the most last
ing of all Jewish problems Jew
ish Education For that reason we
are pleased to see the Sheltering
Home placed upon a firm founda-
ton.
AS it is, the Sheltering Home
was organized to save children in
need from having to be exposed to
non-Jewish influences. Why should
such provisions be limited only to
the un fortunat parent-less
child? Why should there not be
chain of Talmud Torahs or at least
branches of the Talmud Torah at
Fremont avenue north. Probably
the time will come when the educa-
tional needs of the whole Jewish
school population of the city will
be provided for. Until then, we can
be happy in the thought that gradu-
ally the men and women of the city
are realizing their duty and re-
sponsibility. Let us continue to
aim high, cherishing big ideals. But
meanwhile let us be thankful that
the responses are becoming more

The demonstration OF tractor plow.

Lconardtown, on Wednesday after.
noon, March 5tb, drew an unusually
large crowd, among whom were nos
only the great majority Of representa-

professional and business men.
The affair was arranged by the
Steuart's Motor Co., Of Washington,
distributing agents OF the "Fordson"

time. An invitation was then extend
ed TO the Leonardtown Implement Co,
handling the international, 70 en-
ter their tractor In what promised TO
develop into something OF q contest.
The tractors plowed or lands sepsrat-
ed by only few yards, allowing am
pie opportunity for O comparison Of
the work. Each of them displayed It's
own narticular point of merit, but ell
did excellent work udder conditions
that were far from normal, the ground
being wet and affording poor trac-
tive power.
No better opportunity could have
been offered TO see the tractor at work
under the worst conditions and the
demonstration undoubtedly proves
that Il can do more and better work at
less cost than teams, and will 20 q
long ways towards solving the labor
problem that Is yearly assuming o
more serious aspect. The interest dis
played by the farmers is good evidences
that they appreciate the situation and
are looking about for the best means
TO maintain production regardless oil
