temple has been practically liquida-
ted and in September of this year
the last dollar owed will be paid.

World War was held at the Scott
County Fair Grounds, one of the
most beautiful spots in the famous

will fight for the rights of the peo-
pie and the good of the nation. Too
often the voters through lack OF
interest or what not place men OF
mediocre ability in positions Of
power. Such must not be the case
this year. We must nominate and

than 1000 licenses We're issueo
for new trades and industries in
Palestine. The extent of this de-
velopment can be judged from the
fact that prior to 1921 only
$500 licenses were registered by
the government. This means
that nearly two-thirds of the en-
terprises in Palestine were started
within the last year.
The capital invested in each of
these new ventures ranges from
$4,000 to $4,000, but with
such notable exceptions as the
Silicate company OF Jafa, with a
capital of 100000, and the
Standard Oil Co., now exploiting
the Dead Sea Basin
a tract of 500 acres of land
has been bought by British Jew
ish interests and will be devoted
to home and factory building,
while American interests are
starting a building and loan as
sociation and savings bank: a
casino, two bathing establish
nlents and electric lights are
a,nong the attractions OF an
seaside resort which
has sprung up on the sands
stretching to The North of Jaffa.
In reality this is a Jewish town
ship and it's local name is Tel
Ayiv, but to a visitor it appears a
go ahead American town with a
spirit that overcones all OBJ
stables. It has more than 1000
and an immense
factory working night and day.

Mr.. ogden's speech here was a.
great Success The courtroom was
crowded to capacity. Many people
failed to gain Ambulance and Were
turned away at the doors. The
audience was very responsive and
showed its. friendly feeling by the
freouent bursts of applause. Mr..

the principles of his Parkersburs
