One of the biggest problems faced
by American farmers today is that
of obtaining capable and dependable
farm help.
Many of the best farm workers in
this country today are married men,
and will not hire out" in permanent
positions unless they can have their
families with them. These men for
the most part would be contented and
thoroughly dependable If they were
given the opportunity to enjoy home
life of their own.
Solve the farm labor problem by
providing tenent homes at modest
cost.

DEAR ELIZABETH LATTTMER:

different letters published every even

night you were asking for another use
for fathers old shirts. My sister has a
boy and girl, aged four and two, re-
spectively, and out Of their fathers old
shirts she makes very nice little aprons
or dresses for the little girl She
makes them perfectly plain, with lit
tie round collar edged with some OF
tho numerous braids or edges made for
that purpose. BY leaving them open In
tho back they can easily be slipped on
over q good dress to protect II, or by
sewing them up they make very nice
little dresses to play around In the
morning, and as children at that age
require so many changes. she saves
many a dollar that way.
For the boy they make very nice lit
tie blouses, and by buying some plain
material to harmonize with the pre-
dominant color in the old shirt he can
have many attractive little suits at
