VALUES OF LIFE
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md.

GFduSOlASL JOuu MUSES. bah0T
Baltimore, Md.
Keep forever and ever before you
The momentous values OF life.
Trusting our God and His promise,
In every conflict and strife.
The mystery of it all is HIS,
Ours the faith to show
The light of heaven will reveal,
Some day we'll understand and
know
And then to praise Him for it all,
, In that land of endless day,
Where sorrows heart aches are un-
known,
All tears be wiped away.
Our christian life, burning torch,
In the gathering gloom of night,
To light some weary travellers way,
In the warfare for the right.

The construction industry has
been virtually at the zero point
even below the general industrial
level. Its most important branch,
home building, practically disap-
peared. Last year it shared but
little in the business pickup,
But now the construction index is
rising. 1t isn't going forward at a
boom rate, but sound, well-establish-
ed acceleration is occurring. Much
of this is due to governmental! build
ing. But private construction is
likewise showing a substantial up
ward trend. Many men have found
jobs at good wages-and they are
spending an apreciable part of their
earnings in improving homes.
So far as the home-owner is con-
cerned, building and repairing now
is good business-it saves him mon
ey, and gives him something essen
tial at bargain prices. And. when
he builds, he is contributing sub
stantially toward speeding recovery.
He is giving jobs-he is sending
needed dollars through a thousand
industries-he is stimulating COM
merce.

THE MASTER LEADING
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md

The Master leading His children,
Will keep them in perfect peace,
His promises never failing,
And our love for Him increase
When satan would harm ard annoy,
God is our refuge and stay
We are safe in His blessed keeping,
He will lead terry step of the way.
Storms may sweep down upon us,
Angry pillows around us may roll;
Pilot and guide keeping close by our
side,
We have quiet and peace in the
soul.
He will lead till life's journey is
We have come to the end of the
way,
And then through the valley of
shadows,
To the land of eternal day

SILVER PRECEDED GOLD

Silver was the standard unit of
value in America before gold. The
Continental Congress adopted as a
monetary unit dollar containing
1854 grains of pure silver.
Consequently, the present move to
remonetize silver can't be called an
untried experiment. 1t is simply
designed to put an old economic in
strument, which did necessary work
well, back on the job again. In do
ing that, it would bring new life
into an industry which has been one
of our greatest employers, taxpayers
ad contributors to prosperity

NATIONAL DEMAND BEING DE-
VELOPED FOR TRUCK CROPS

That vegetables produced on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, comprising
the Eastern Shores of Maryland and
Virginia and the entire state of Del
aware, eventually will command
premium price in the markets of the
world, with resultant financial bene-
fits to thousands of farmers and
truck-land operators, was the opin-
ion expressed this week by Ben
jamin F. Shawn, New York market
ing expert.
Just as Virginia potatoes, Mary.
land turkeys, Delaware teaches,
Chesapeake Bay shellfish and other
delicacies produced by certain areas
command top prices in the &C mmodi-
ty marts, Del-Mar-Va vegetables are
destined to reach the top rung in the
ladder of food market values. Com
menting on this new and interesting
development in the vegetable mark
ct field, Mr.. Shawn said:
/ O0l-MdI-Fd FSSOldUlSS dI0 dCLu-
ally the only garden and truck-land
commodities being advertised by any
of the nations great packing houses.
In recent releases of tho Phillips
Packing Company, Inc, Cam bridge,
Maryland, these Gamers OF more
than thrifty Phillips Delicious soups
and vegetables, have inaugurated
the interesting innovation of not
only pointing with pride to the ex
cellence of their pack, but are stress
sing the fact that their ingredients
are produced in vast and fertile
farming area, distinctive for fresh
vegetables of superior flavor and
quality"
Continuing, Mr.. Shawn said:
"Since this is virtually a nation
wide campaign of publicity, the OBJ
vious effect must be to create a
steadily. increasing demand for Del
Mar-Va products, with the resultant
development of greater demands for
the many varieties of delicious,
healthful and appetizing vegetables
grown in this great food-basket area
between the Chesapeake and Della
ware bays"

THE WHITE HOUSE

tional Association of Life Under
writer's, and other organizations in

ness, are TO sponsor the celebration

factor in the economic life of this
Nation. 1t is a source of gratifica-
ton to me that the people of the
United States have availed them
selves of life insurance, with its at
tending widespread benefits, to a
larger degree than have the people
of any other country. Our advance
in this direction has done much to
bring increasing solidity to the

send greetings to the life insurance
men and women of the United States
and to wish them success in their

NEW YORK, June 16.-For the
first time in history, the presi

ences with financial writer's.
The first regular press meeting
will be held Thursday, when
Richard Whitney, president of
the exchange, will meet reporters
for a half hour from IL noon to

which Administration leaders
hold with the press.

united in repeating their old re-
quest that a time be set aside

ADULT EDUCATION AND THE
DEPRESSION

The lean years that followed the crash
OF 1929 created new and grave problems.
AS 1880 became 1891 mere and more
business firms closed down and more and
more concerns reduced their STATE. Few
er and fewer young people were able to
secure positions after graduation. A
large percentage of American people
were not only jobIess: they were afraid
that by the time prosperity returned
they would have forgotten how to prac-
tise their trade or profession. Others
realized that they would never be able to
return to their old jobs and clamcyed for
an opportunity to learn new trade. Still
others longed for something to do 20 keen
their minds occupied while waiting for
the job that was just around the corner.
There was only one possible solution to
all these wants: Adult Education.
A few states organized adult programs
