Unemployed Get Jobs in
Municipal Lemon Grove

Upland, Calif.-Unemployed men
have been put to work developing
a municipality owned lemon grove
here.
City officials saw little possibility
of securing revenue from a ten-acre
tract covered with rocks until the
idea of the lemon grove presented
itself.
Once the tract was cleared Of
rocks men were given additional
work leveling the ground and set
ting it out to trees.
Now the men are busy removing
the rocks of Cucamonga Wash for
use In the flood control project, and
the city hopes to reduce taxes
through possible revenues derived
from the grove.

UNEMPLOYED TO
 GET EDUCATION
J0bless Schools to Afford Opportunities to More
 Than 10000

Columbus, O., (UP)-Approved by both federal and state relief authorities, a system of unem- ployed schools. designed to afford educational opportunities to more than 10000 jobless, will soon be in active operation in Ohio.
 The plan was developed follow ing study of unemployed schools established in New York state. It calls for employment of idle school teachers and trade experts to teach both unemployed adults and children. Professor Edwin S. Burdell Of Ohio State university, will administer the system. Last year, he directed a school for un- employed at Ohio State univer- sity.
 State Director of Education Dr B. O. Skinner was told, in Wash ington, by United States Commis- sioner of Schools George F. Zook, that the government would urge development of similar systems throughout the country, hoping to enroll 100000 unemployed and to employ from 10000 to 50,000 persons on relief lists to teach courses offered.
 Some 1,500 persons may be em- ployed to teach in Ohio's tlnem- ployed schools at salaries of from $10 to $15. All applicants must be on relief lists. They do not neces- sarily have to be certiflcated school teachers. Director Skinner ob- served. ttt
 The Ohio relief commission, &C., cording to Major D. o. Braught, will ask for additional federal funds to administer the program.

RADIO OCAMPAICN
 FOR METHODETS
Drive of Religious Revival
 Will Start Shortly in Britain

London, (UP)-Modern meth- ,ods, including the use of radio and the talkies, are to be used by Methodists In a campaign of re- ligious revival to start shortly all lover Britain.
 The movement of the popula- ton, together with the slowing
 down of the increase in the popu-
 lation, necessarily have had their reaction upon the churches in the older centers," according to official Methodist spokesmen.
 It is these changed conditions
 and the fact that changed cir
 cumstances of time are also cre- ating special demands in seaside places and in industrial areas"
 that are responsible for the drive
 for a fund of $2,500,000, which has
 just been opened by Methodist headquarters here.
 A statement issued by the or- ganizers giving details of the cam-
 paign announces the holding of 8
 series of porty conventions in va- rious parts of the country. In ad- dition, meetings are being organ ized in every circuit and 1,45O cir
 cult committees have been ap-
 pointed.
 Considerable attention will be
 paid to Methodism in the villages:
 There is a profound psychological
 change in the villages. Their popu-
 lations now have the city outlook
 by reason of the wireless and the
 fact that motor buses and cars are
 linking up the whole land" con. cludes the statement.

Zinc Mining Boom
 Helps Wisconsin
Prosperity Smiles on Villages in Southwestern Part
 of the State

opening of several zinc mines. Chicken coops were rented as lodging houses. Crowds of miners walked in the streets because side- walks were not large enough.
 Other towns experienced "booms," although of less intens- ity. Prospectors sought new fields in the vicinity of Belmont, Wis consin's first capital. Timbers in old mines were replaced and oper- ations resumed.
 The "boom'' has been gradual in most cases, but its effects are noticeable, and inhabitants of this region between the Wisconsin and Mississippi river valleys see pros- poets of industrial activity that will bring back the prosperity of "old days"

Cleveland Company to Try Conquering Transpor-

Cleveland, o. (UP)-The task of conquering one of mans great est transportation obstacles-tho Syrian desert--has been. placed on the shoulders of a local company. which is building what is reputed to be the worlds largest motor bus body.
 The Bender Body company re- gently announced 1t had received a contract for building the huge vehicle for the Nairn Transporta- ton company of Iraq. The bus is to be used in desert travel between Bagdad and Damascus. The bus will be 69 feet long and mounted on IS wheels. It will be powered with Q 385 horsepower Diesel motor.
 The body will accommodate 35 passengers, and will be insulated against desert heat. First and sec- ond class compartments will be provided.
 The bus will carry provisions for five days in event of forced halts. and will have to ford the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Tires would be changed every 24 hours, and a 10-inch clearance will be provided between tire and fender to take care of the wet sand which packs on the wheels.
 The journey from Bagdad to Damascus, requiring about 24 days by the present roundabout water route, can be made in 24 hours driving time on the desert.

Platteyille, Wis-(UP)-"Boom" times have returned to southwest ern Wisconsin, bringing new hopes for prosperity in lead and zinc mining industries which lay idle more than decade.
 Recent discovery of new use for. zlnc, in an alloy known as "whito metal" revived a market from which the Wisconsin miners were forced a dozen years ago by competition from Missouri and Rocky Mountain fields.
 Grant, Iowa and Lafayette counties, among the oldest in the state, are leading centers in re- vival of the romantic industry from which Wisconsin got it's nickname, the Badger" state. This mining industry was one of the first in the state. Its pioneers dug holes in the ground, to spend their winters in semi-hibernatlon, like badgers.
 The mining industry reached its peak during the World War, when it supplied intuition materials. as it had done in the Civil War. It died out in 1921.
 The village of Linden became . boisterous, typical mining boom town . year ago, following re-
