BUILDING
UP WINNEMUCCA

The first step in building up any
community should be to study it's life
and find out what it seems to lack
most of all. Study the reasons why
people have left it or have become
dissatisfied with it in the past.
The complaints most frequently
heard against country towns are
these: Lack of social entertainment,

md educational advantages. Lack of
business opportunity. Let US take
these in order.
The town needs pleasant social life,
wholesome and interesting entertain
ments, instructive lectures opening
The mind to broader knowledge of the
world and human progress, and good
music. All these things are perfectly
in reach for a town like Winnemucca
and are realized to a considerable ex-
tent already.
Every town should have its orches-
ira, which can give outlet for the
unsteady inclined. 1t should have it's
dances, supervised by mothers of the
young people. In these days when
musical education is common, it does
not cost much to secure excellent vo-
cal and instrumental music for a
course of concerts.
There are plenty of competent
speakers within reach of Winnemucca
who would gladly come here for lee
lures.
In ways like these town life car be
made so pleasant that people will
leave it with great regret, and only if
they find better opportunities else
where. But this motive for change is
commonly elusive.

Chicago, April 1e-This city is at tempting to prevent rent profffeering by regulating increases in rates and by organizing 0,eo9,o00 corpora ton to build homes and sell them on easy pawn ents. Meanwhile ChicaSUs s fiat dwellers have been forming unions to wage war on alleged profteering landlords and committees in the city council have been Investigating in creases in rents ranging up to 100 and even 200 per cent.
 Several hundred families have solv- ed their individual housing problems by making their homes in houseboats moored in the branches of the Chi cage river, the Calumet and lakes in South Chicago. Once in possession of heuseboat the owner only has to pay $1 a month for the privilege of moor ing his craft. If he does not like his location he can move his home boat elsewhere Many of these beats cost $1,o00 each and have five rooms, par Tor, dining room, kitchen and two bed rooms.
 In some eases groups of tenants have solved the rent problem by forming cooperative companies and buying the apartment houses in which they live.

KOREANS HAVE
 CHANGE COMING

The Korean refuses to be disturbed by the upset state of economic condt- tionS in his country. He stolidly paffs away at his leng-stenmed pipe and watches the automobiles passing by in the Wejumbo Road.
 He is typical of the vast number of his compatriots in that he elings te the ancient costume of his people, even as he prefers old time customs to more comfortable and more mod eFn clothing. Perhaps he knows, or perhaps he does not know. Of the in dustrial situation as it affects Korea If he does know, he does not care, and if he were told he ought to find out about it, he would remain indifferent just the same.
 Korea is undergoing many interest ing and important changes in it's in dustria1 and financial life The changes sooner or layer will affect di- rectly every inhabitant of the country. The status of political as we'll as trade life in Korea has been given thorough study by the surveyors Of the Inter church World Movement
 Aneriea's evangelical group of Protestant churches which are back of this movement are going to help Korea. establish better means of edu- cation, hospitals and like adJuncts of civilization.

 Attempts have been made to check rent prohteering by cooperation of the city council and the Cook County Real Estate Board which investigated complaints and, when increases were found to be excessive, advised the landlord to withdraw his demands. In general the investigators have allow ed an increase of about go per cent over last years rentals.
