 The rest of their time can be spent in raising garden truck, not to sell, but as food for themselves and families for the winter. SEES CONGESTION RELIEF
 Thus even a shutdown of the plant would notl cave them help less subjects for relief.
 President H. I. Hartman of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce thinks this is "the most funda. mental and far-reaching move ment under way today. It will show us the way to necessary de- centralization of industry and the relief of mass congestion in cit- ies."
 'I want to look at that map, too, after supper" said John, Jr. "I think it's great, the way they're changing old washed = out farms into grass and woodlands.
 There's no reason why we can't make more out of the coun- try by thinking about it than we did when nobody figured it was anybody's business
 Well, of course, son, there's no reason why you can't build pretty nice little communities if you've got unlimited money, and the government foots the bill. Don't forget that it's you and I who have to dig up the taxes to make it go."
 MONEY ONLY LOANED
 "But the moneys only an ad- vance, dad" reminded John, Jr. Seed, stock, house, and land are all an advance loan by the gov- erment. The people who live there are supposed to pay 1t all back in 10 or 20 years.
 "If the people have to buy 'em now?" queried Pa Jones, a little sourly.

Pa Jones folded the evening paper carefully. Don't throw that one away" he said. There's a big map in there want to look at a little later.
 Why what is it, Par" asked Ma Jones.
 Its a map of the country. showing the way it's going to be when they get all these power dams, and forest reservations, afi tree belts, and irrigation projects, and national parks, and irrigation reservoirs, and subsistence home- stead towns, and I don't know what-all," returned Pa.
 "T'll give 'em credit for nerve, anyway, trying to actually change the face of half the continent"
 This phase of the Roosevelt pro- gram is, in way, the most "radi- cal part of it - radical in the sense that it goes to the root of a difficult problem and aims to cure rather than merely relieve it. FARM EXODUS JAMS CITY
 A hundred years ago, 75 per cent of Americans lived on farms, and only 25 per cent in cities. Today it is just the other way. There is good reason to believe that we have gone too far in this mad rush to the cities; good req son to question whether, even with shorter hours, these cities will ever have jobs for all their people.
 Back to the farm" movements are always flop in this or any other free country. City people just won't go.
 President Roosevelt's answer is: We must create a new type of living, that will be neither city nor country, but something new and between the two a rural industrial life."
 By that he meant a new kind of neighborhood that will come out of experiments like that Reedsville, w. Va. (there are AS such farm cities" planned, and Is of them are under way).
 Perhaps 50 or 100 or more families will cluster around these centers, each with several acres of land. Each neighborhood will

O.. Will I get a job?

A. You should have a quiet per- sistence and a logical mind, but even so. you are inclined to pro- crastination. You also must learn to thoroughly believe in yourself. Avoid looking at the dark side of life. and allowing others to make your decisions. Take up something that strongly appeals to you, and go into 1t for all 1t is worth. In the meantime turn to any work that can be obtained. Do not be afraid to give a good accounting of your self. over and over offer your serv- ices and do not be sent for. Do not mind No-BUT GO RIGHT ON TO THE NEXT. and eventually go back to the first no. Keep this up and you are bound to find Q job. One employer laughed and told q girl I directed Gle gave her job to get rid of her)-but never mind as long as you get one.
 c. Will I be Q success in my undertakings in life. l would like to know as much as ] could?
 A. With your push. energy. de. termination and eaFnestness, you can accomplish much, and rise to most any emergency. You always go in to win and never acknowledge defeat. Hence are some Of the faults that should be gone over to help eliminate failure. Bear in mind you must be patient, your type love arguments, and are often seareastie and critical and because of these faults, could make many

enemies. Do not become irritable for little or no reason. Countless numbers under your sign have made failures of their life's work because the value of patience was unknown to them. You are a great friend, and will stick. even if the whole world was against your con- victions. So watch out-do let your faults over-reach your fine good points.
 Q. Would it be advisable to go west to live at this time? Would we be able to make living as we ali know the times aren't any too good, etc.?
 A. I believe when one lives in the place they like best, they get so much happiness and comfort out of it, that 1t sometimes compensates for many deficiencies. No doubt you like the west. but throughout this depression the New England states have stood the battle better than any other part of the counry, because hey manufacture such a variety of commodities. l will give you a few figures given out by the Federal Housing Administration These figures are based on build ing permits issued in 4e8 leading cities, and reported to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Depart all type of modernization work dur ment of Labor.

ST JOHNS CHURCH
 SPONSORS SUPPER
Bishop Dallas to Give Prin= cipal Address To-
 night

Bishop John Dallas, a native of this city but now head of the Epis- copal church in New Hampshire, will be among the speakers to- night at a supper sponsored by the men of St. Johns Episcopal church in the parish hall. Bishop Dallas was at one time assistant to Rev. Dr. John N. Lewis, rector of St. Johns. Among the other promin- ent guests invited to the supper, which will begin at 2 o'clock, are Horact Taft, Dr. N. A. Pomeroy, Edwin s. Hunt, Dr. Carl Munger, John P. Elton, Isaac B. Kellogg, David Griggs, John NJ. Burrall, F. S. Chase, William NJ. Harris and Nicholas Combellack.
 Second Church
 The life of the Hopi Indians was described last night at the Second Church forum by former Judge Harry J. Beardsley, an hon. orary chief of the tribe. Attorney Beardsley took a trip west last year and visited the Hopis. Last night he exhibited moving pictures he took, showing the ceremonies in connection with the dedication of the new Kiva, or temple. Two phonograph records were played reproducing the chants of two cer- emonial dances. During the snake dance the Hopis carry live rattle . snakes in their teeth and are fre- quently bitten but without i'll ef- fleets, according to Attorney Beardsley.
 Authorities on snakes have been unable to learn from the Indians how they make themselves immune from serious effects. The country where the Hopis live is hard and barren with about only one rain a year. The rain Is saved in under ground pits and the Hopis ar. able to grow corn, their principal food. The Hopis are direct des- cendants of the ancient Cliff Dwell lers and probably came to this country 30,000 years ago from a now submerged continent in the Pacific.
 Cantata Given
 Members of the choir of St. Johns Episcopal church last eye- ming rendered part of Mendelf- sohn's eantata, "Elijah". Miles "A Martin, organist of the church, di- rected. Many Watefburians were present to hear the rendition of the cantata and were highly pleased with the presentation.

EXPERT SHOULD KNOW 'I guess the foresters who are running 15O,OOO;OO0 acres of public lands and supervising the l numbering (under the code of $50, 100000 acres of private lands ought to know that much" ''Well, we'll hope so," allowed Pa Jones.
 States are helping, too, in this readjustment of the map. Michi- gan is surveying 2,500,00O acres of public domain (mostly acc quired through non-payment of taxes) to see whether it can bet ter be farmed or forested. South
 Dakota buys 10000 acres of irri- gated land north of the Black
 Hills, and plans to help 500 fam- l flies move there on 10-acre tracts,
 into houses built by unemployed
 carpenters.

Good Evening.

 The holiday passed happily though damp, soggy and wet Weatherwise about the worst that's happened yet. Though outside dark and murky, inside the family ate Turkeys whose poundage varied from ten to twenty-eight Kids waved the nut-cracker and celery began to crunch, Mother stuffed the turkey, while father mixed the punch The company arrived quite early to see if they could help, The dog got underfoot and did he give yelp! Despite occasional accidents such as great big cranberry stain, The diners made right merry, what cared they for rain So now Thanksgiving is over might as we'll fall in line For the big event of December, the happy Christmas time.
