the TACT that God, the creator of the
spiritual universe. including man, is
the divine Priaciple of existence. On
page 468 Of Science and Health with

gives the fundamental teaching of

causation, and the experience of each
generation adds weight to the Bibli-
cal saying regarding a man, Gas he
thinketh in his heart, so is he."
Spiritual thinking is constructive,
but material thinking, so called, is
destructive. To illustrate, one SEEM

a position through various channels
may become imbued with the appar-
ent futility of it all. He is depressed

right thinking and thereby proper

abandon negative thinking and take
hold of the fact that as child of
God he is under the divine govern
ment and all that pertains thereto.
1t is for him to reflect God through
His ideas, to keep himself actively
employed in entertaining them. Fear,
depression, and hopelessness will
soon give place to love for God and

NEED PRODUCTION CON-
troll DESPITE PRICE
ADVANCES

Farmers are asking, what
about the present price level of
farm products? Is production
control necessary now that
farm prices are advancing?
Officials of the United States
Department of Agriculture an
swer those questions this way:
Imitation alone will not re-
store the pre-war purchasing
power of the over-produced
commodities - cotton, wheat,
corn. hogs, rice and tobacco.
The increases Tin prices since
the first part of March) were
due in part to anticipation of
the probable effect of general
inflationary measures, and in
part to anticipation of the eff
feet of production adjustments
possible under the new Farm
Act"
The Department officials say
further, Higher prices caused
by imitation alone may tend to
increase production and to in
tensify the actual maladjust-
ment between production and
effective demand for farm pro-
ducts. Desirable as a rise in
the general price level is, under
existing conditions it must be
accompanied by production
control unless and until our
normal markets are restored"
And Secretary Wallace adds
this final word, Without con-
trolled production, no price
lifting effort can possibly
work; because if there is no
control of production, the bet
ter price increases the next
years planting, and the great
err harvest wrecks the price"

PAY ROLL

Scores of brakemen and fire
men have been called back to
their jobs on the Pennsylvania
Railroad and many tiremen
have been promoted to engine
'ers during the past couple of
weeks. In other branches of
the service the Company con-
tinues to lay off employees
wherever the work does not

Employment for about 1000
men has been virtually assured
by the issuance of orders for
the resumption of the eiectrifi-

The modern prototype of the
little red school-house" must
be an up-to-date educational
center which will meet both
the cultural and Institutional
needs of alert rural communi-
ties, according to Mr.. Owen D.
Young, chairman of the board
of General Electric.
The schools are the key
which will unlock the country
for modern living and without
which all other attractions and
facilities will fail.
"The motorcar, good roads,
the telephone, the radio and
motion pictures have broken
down earlier barriers, both
physical and intellectual.
But we will not gCI this
change in country life without
good schools. People will not
move there, or even stay there,
if the educational facilities for
their children be inadequate. ="

| good. Radiating these thoughts and
the good which he realizes and claims
from his heavenly Father will open
to him the proper channels, where
his own need will be met.
Another may have m1sgivings as to
his business prospects. His thought
may dwell upon trade depression and
closed avenues of activity until he be-
comes befogged with the clouds of
apparently overwhelming difficulties.
Turning resolutely from that unin-
viting contemplation, let him look up
to the all-power and ever present
goodness of God. In the divine econ
omy there is enough and to spare;
prosperity is undiminished therein,
and never for moment inactive or
suspended. There fluctuation is un-
known. AS one depends upon that
sheet-anchor and exchanges his ma
terial thinking for spiritual ideas and
qualities, such as intelligence, wis
dom, justice, honesty, and goodness,
the outward manifestation of Gods
good will to man will be expressed in
his human experience. God is ben
eficent, bountiful rewarder of all
who diligently seek Him and do His
will. To be under Cod protection Is
to be allied to the one never failing
spiritual source of good.
Through the study and application
of Christian Science it has been
proved that there is no condition or
circumstance that cannot be brought
under the protection of God. the all
embracing and imperishable Love
which fills all space. This vertically
is the gospel of Christ Jesus, and as
demonstrate today as it was of yore
on the shores of Galilee.
The Bible abounds in helpful, COM
forting narratives and practical adj
monitions for everyday present use.
One such assurance is, "The eternal
God is thy refuge, and underneath
are the everlasting arms: and he
shall thrust out the enemy from be-
fore thee; and shall say, Destroy
them" Good thoughts are shield
and refuge; they individualize divine
power and dispel evil suggestions
which are the enemy of mankind.
Thus right thinking and right doing
carry with them the fruition of good
ness, power, protection, and peace.
Mrs. Eddy wrote to her students in
a letter published in Miscellaneous
Writings" (p. 263): "How blessed it
is to think of you as beneath the
shadow of a great rock in a weary
land safe in His strength, building
on His foundation, and covered from
the devourer by divine protection and
affection. Always bear in mind that
His presence, power, and peace meet
all human needs and reflect all bliss"

SECURITIES ACT PROTECTS
AGAINST FRAUD

To the investing public, that
portion of the population
which lost some $25,00O,000 in
the last decade, July Z is the
most important day of the
new deal" The Securities
Control Act went into effect
carrying with it the assurance
of protection against fraud in
the future sale of all securities
within the United States.
Beginning July Z, no issue of
securities can be offered for
sale to the public until a COM
plete statement of all particu-
lars concerning both the issuer
and the issue has been file i
with the Federal Trade Com
mission and permission given
to proceed with the sale.
Such permission does not
mean approval of the issue,
nor verification of the state
ments of particulars. 1t does
not mean that the issuer has
filed a complete report. If lat
er it develops this report con-
tains falsehoods, all purchasers
have full recourse in the courts
and the issuers are criminally
liable.
Rules and regulations estab-
fish the procedure under the
act. According to such rules
no issue of securities can be Of
fered to the public from now OH
without registration with the
commission. Since all state
ments must lie over for at least
20 days, July q will be the first
day on which any new issue
may be offered for sale.

RELIEF GARDENING AIDS
UNEMPLOYED
Produce Raised BY JObless
Workers Will Reduce Needs
For Food Grants

Workers Will Reduce Needs
For Food Grants
Garden produce raised by the
unemployed will constitute a
sizeable contribution to relief
food needs this summer and
next winter, Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal Administrator OF
Emergency Relief has predict
ed.
Practically every State relief
administration in the country,
Mr.. Hopkins said, is carrying
out an extensive program OF
subsistence gardening for the
people on their relief rolls
One State, he said, has adopted
the slogan, 'No garden, no re-
lief" decreeing that every fam
lily receiving relief, that can,
must grow a vegetable garden
He would not identify the
State.
The garden programs, Mr.
Hopkins said, are being follow
ed by MISREPRESENTATION sched-
ules. These are being carried
out by cooperation between the
local relief agencies and the
agricultural and home demon
stration services. County ag-
ents provide instruction in
planting, fertflizing, insect
control, cultivation and har-
vesting. In preserving, DEM
onstrations are given in can
ming, drying, picking and 9th
err methods. Local relief agen-
cies have provided seeds and
the agricultural agents have
helped in the selection of suit
able plots.
''The benefits of this i'm
mense amount subsistence gar
dening are manifold" Mr.. Hop
kins said. Besides the actual
reduction in the cost of caring
for these gardening families
that have made themselves at
least partly self-sustaining,
there are health benefits.
''The work of gardening is
healthful, and the fruits OF
their labor give them a better
balanced diet. That cuts out a
lot of medical bills. This as
pect is especially important in
areas where pellagra has re-
quired the giving of yeast and
cod liver oil. Thousands OF
families that never knew how
to get their own food out OF
the soil have been shown the
way. This knowledge not only
builds morale, but is a tangible
asset that can be measured by
meals and shelves of home
made canned food.
Besides the gardens raised
by persons on relief rolls, many
families that might otherwise
be dependent are. getting q
large part of their emergency
living out of the soil. Com
munities have provided fol-
acreages divided into individu-
al plots, industries have plowe(
up idle land around the fac.
tories and helped their part
time or laid-off employees with
seeds and instruction. The
whole movement is resulting in
real benefits on a large Scale
In cities, Mr.. Hopkins point
ed out, the relief agencies il
many instances have arranged
for large plots in the suburb:
and under work-relief pro
grams require that the able
bodied unemployed men do {
certain amount of work on the
plots for their relief allowance
The produce will be taken tt
canning kitchens where unem
ployed women will preserve tn,
food. In the fall and winter i
will be given to destitute fam
lilies.

U. s. RELIEF FUNDS
State Hopes To Draw $4,000,
900 From August
To April

To April
Maryland has hopes of draw
ing on the Federal Govern
ment, out of it's $500,000,00O
fund for direct relief grants to
the States, to the extent of
about 100000 during the
nine-month period from Au-
gust 1 until next April.
Governor Richie states Har-
ry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief
Administrator, invited the
state to draw up an estimate OF
it's anticipated relief expendi-
lures during the nine-month
period-this estimate to in
clude that of cities, towns and
counties and include funds
from private sources-snd
place it before him with a
statement of what is available
for that period in public and
private funds.
"Mr. Hopkins assured u.s.
said the Governor, that the
Federal relief administration
would make up the balance,
which would mean approx
mately $4,000,000."
The money would not be paid
out to the State in one lump
sum, but would be earmarked
and made available from time
to time in installments.
No distinction will be drawn
between the two divisions of
the $5OO,OOO,OOO fund provided
by Congress for direct grants
$3.50, 100000 to be given out
right and $250,000,000 to be
used matching 81 to every So
spent in the States out of pub
lie or private funds.
If the program goes through
as laid down by Mr.. Hopkins,
not only Baltimore and couh-
ties which have been spending
public funds for relief or have
private relief agencies will par
licipste in $S,000,O0O to be on
hand for the nine-month per-
iod, but also those counties in
which nothing has been appro-
priated for relief to date.
The whole $S,000,000 pro-
gram, as far as local contribu-
ton would be concerned, would
be financed by the State, the
Governor asserted. Az esti-
mate of the needs of the State
as g, understanding what
will be needed in Baltimore for
the period-will be drawn up
and, roughly will be about $8,-
100000, he said.
Toward this the State can
put the proceeds of $4,000,00O
of the $12,000,00O in bonds the
State was authorized by the
Legislature to issue to finance
Baltimore's unemployment re-
lief expenditures for three
years. The $4,000,000 will be
all of the issue which is unen-
numbered by the time this nine
month program would go into
effect, the Governor said.
1t would be proper for the
State to use the $4,000,000 for a
Statewide relief program, ac-
cording to the Governor, be-
cause they are primarily State
obligations. They are issued
on State credit and for two
years, 1884 and 1885, will be
carried by State revenues. At
er that, unless the city makes
some move to take over financ-
ing the issue by putting the
carrying and amortization
charges on it's tax rate, the
Governor pointed out, these
charges must be levied on the
State tax rate and woulG
amount to about 5 cents. On
the city tax rate the cost would
amount to about Is cents.
Out of the $S,000,000 in COM
bined Federal and State funds
the Governor said, Baltimore
relief would continue to be fl
nanced on the same basis as il
now is enjoying, and the prob
lem facing the counties would
be met. The Federal Govern
ment, however, demands that
the relief needs be met on a

"The new law is the handiwork Of
the voters and not the reluctant gift
of the politicians and their back-stage

came over the failure Of the legisla-

gious enthusiasm which piled up $780,
600 signatures on petitions to place
the pension bill on the ballot for Nov.
z, SO that voters could show their
alleged representatives what to do
about insecurity in old age. These
100000 demands for a popular refer

the initiative bill placed before the
Legislature in the spring and defeated
by the politicians.
"The result Of the referendum, a
heartening victory for the neglected
aged citizenry, constitutes a singing
rebuke to the reactionary groups and
their legislative office boys. A sol

to turn Ohio, once foremost among
