My dear friends:
Only people full of hope, fired by

live could have done in Palestine what
the Jews have done. They are turn
ing the gray mountainsides into green
velvet carpets. upon which are woven
beautiful designs in the form of gardens
and orchards, raising the things so es-
sential to human existence.
The land is full of promise. If You
plant. you are sure it will grow.
We must help in ever-increasing
measure to develop Palestine to its full
est capacity, so that those who have
come and those who wish to come may
realize how we here are working with
them TO restore people-less land TO n
land-less people. The gray rocks in
Palestine were to me the dropping
heads Of generations gone, crying out
to lls to come back to our Mother Land
and through service and sacrifice re
store it TO its ancient beauty

ANOTHER FORD CAR STOLEN
This Time it Was Prof. Henry c.
Webbs Car But Was Returned

Professor Henry c. Webb's Ford
sedan was stolen from his garage and
returned before he missed it. He
used it last on Wednesday and on
Friday it was found on the road near
Kenton. The storage battery and
some tooks had been stolen and the
car was very dirty and filled with
empty boxes. There was a robbery
at Blackstone Cross Roads at the
same time and it is supposed that the
car was used for the robbery. The
thieves evidently had tried to get in
the garage where Mr.. Robert Hill
keeps his car next door to Mr.. Webb
and failing to get in, they pried off
the lock Of the other door. This is
the third theft of Ford cars recently,
the others being the sedan Of Ralph
BOyles and Clarence BOyles. Detec-
tives are at work trying to bring the
thieves to justice.
