HEAVY LOSS is SEEN ON
WEST VIRGINIA PROJECT
Homestead Deficit Assigned To
Errors In Judgment

An Associated Press dispatch from
Washington under recent date gives
information that may be of interest
to many who have watched develop
ments surrounding the Reedsville CIV.
Va.) Homestead project, few miles
west of Oakland. The dispatch reads
as follows:
Officials of the Subsistence Home
stead Corporation said today that the
Government stands to lose over a half
million dollars on the Homestead pro-
ject at Reedsville, W. Va, in which
Mrs. Roosevelt has been interested.
The First Lady has aided in its de-
velopment and has visited it several
times.
Charles E. Pynchon, general mana
ger Of the corporation, said part of the
loss could be assigned to "experimen-
tation" and part was due to "errors in
judgment"
Figures Not Available
He said he was unable to give fig
ures as to what proportion could be
assigned to each of the two factors.
Pynchon said the Government, on
the basis of present figures, will lose
about $4,000 on each of the 100 Gotta
ges in the project.
A total of $1,5O0,0OO has been al
lotted for the project. The Government
is receiving an average of $4,000 from
the homesteaders for the dwellings, to
be paid over thirty-year period with
three per cent interest on the amount
outstanding each year.
One of the errors of judgment, Pyn-
chon said, was the purchase of ready
cut houses in the first group of struc-
lures erected. These were found I'M
suitable and had to be reinforced and
supplied with Easements.
Officials said the purchase of these
structures was the plan of Louis M.
Howe, secretary to the President, who
worked with Mrs. Roosevelt on the de-
velopment.
100000 More Allotted Project
Expansion of the program for the
Reedsville project is to be carried on
with an additional allotment of $780,
900 was recently announced by Secre-
tary Ickes.
Secretary Ickes said the extra allot-
ment, which brings the total assigned
to the Reedsville project to $1,500,000
would permit the immediate construc-
ton of rs additional houses.
244 Acres Added
He also disclosed that a contract
had been closed for the purchase of
244 acres of additional land at Reeds
lille at cost of $4,000.
This purchase will bring the total
acreage to 1,400 acres and total land
cost to $4,000. upon a portion of
this land some of the additional home
steads will be established" Ickes said
in statement. Because of the low
cost at which this cleared land could
be acquired, it was adopted rather
than to incur the expense of clearing
heavily wooded portions of the present
project tract.
"The wooded acres will be held as a
community reserve from which lumber
and fuel may be obtained. The remain
ing portion of the land being acquired
will be for community pasturage and
may eventually be developed into a
cooperative dairy farm"
Construction Changes
The rs new homesteads will bring
the total homes in the project to 125.
The eventual development calls for
100 homesteads.
The houses will be built on slopes
and will have an English-type base
ment housing the rooms normally be-
low ground level.

The Last Day of
January, But 80.

G1H HE calendar, through its natural
course of procedure, brings to close
today our January Thrift Sale, and SO
this evening, when we close our stores for
the days work, we finish the largest jan
uary's business in the history of our organi-
cation.
Heretofore, we accepted what was sup
posed to be an established fact that jan
uary was an "off-business" month But this
year we disproved this theory, and by offer
ing merchandise at price where it could be
bought and at price where it really should
be sold, we did normal October or Novem-
Der business during the month of January.
We saved our customers thousands of
dollars and we, too, made little money.
We satisfied every customer who came to
our stores and we ourselves were gratihed
with the results. So, while we worked hard
to prove that January could be made good
business month, we also served the COM
munities in which we labor.
Now, even though January passes into
history tonight, Thrift Sale will con-
tinue all this week, with prices in some
instances even lower than they were during
January. So if you have consumed what you
have already bought and need more of the
same items, need any other item in our
stores, you still purchase them at Way
Down Prices.

LOOKING FOR THE BODY.

The tone of that Republican Grass Roots con- vention down in Springfield Ill, would indicate that what the Grand Old Party is not to be party of constructive thinking in 1886 but one of destructive propaganda The widely heraded affair opens with an 18-point attack President Roosevelt and then sinners down to who will be the frightening rod" to carry the harangue. The main declaration of principle to be pledge to the constitution which, of course. is just other way of attempting to imply the Democrats are no longer for it. The only conclusions that be drawn then is that the Grass Rooters want to swing back to policies that sent us crashing into economic chaos during the Hoover regime.
 There is a lot of difference between constructive criticism and just plain fault-finding, and it appears that the Grass Rooters going to adopt the latter course Not one thought emanates from the Spring field convention that might be interpreted a progressive intended to better the welfare of the people of the nation Rather the Republican carnival turns out to be Democratic fault-findng field day, and effort to determine which of many possible 1886 candidates make the most noise in carrying out the scheme. That will be the hardest problem the G. O. P. will have to solve because in its reactionary ranks it has mighty noisy and adept fault-nders and it will be hard to figure out who shout the loudest in behalf of a lost cause
 Until the minority party leaders figure cut some thing other than the revolting thought of returning to Hoover policy the potentcy of the party is going to stay about par with what it has been in the last two years Young James Roosevelt, of the President probably had the Grass Hooters tabled about right when he said the Re- publican Party is dead and the Springfield con- vention is looking for the body.

ALASKANS STILL AVAILABLE.

Over in Matanuska group of the California transient workers tired Of their duties of helping the settlers get started on their colonization project and moved in the city of Anchorage broke, but of them desiring to stay in the country and seek work elsewhere. Anchorage proper ly vetoed the idea and said they would be dis patched to the States via the North Star just as they came The Anchorage authorities announced there many residents of their city idle and there no room for further unemployed In the meantime, until they be placed aboard ship. the city is providing food and lodging.
 It is only fair to explain that it is some of the transient workers who were to be returned to the States in the fall when preliminary work pleted that walked off their jobs and not the actual colonists. They contingent of the men that California EZRA authorities dispatched to the project with great blare of trumpets few weeks ago, implying to the entire world that Cali fornia establishing the Matanuska project. It is further only fair to mention that at the time Alaska officials pointed the Territory, too, had an unemployed problem and that there Alaskan residents who could be obtained although it was explained that it would not be possible to get in the Territory an adequate supply of skilled men at the wages which were being paid the transient workers. So the California transents moved into the North with the accompanying echo of press statements from California EZRA chiefs that every thing just bowl of cherries
 Since that time authority has been delegated to a greater degree to the Alaska Rural Rehabili- tation Corporation.
 Just why the California boys decided to quit hasn't to date been revealed and it probably makes no great amount of difference, so long as they are returned to California from whence they came as quickly as possible so that Anchorage will not be unduly burdened There are plenty of men ir Alaska looking for work, and undoubtedly it will require TO great effort to get them if needed fol Matanuska

An Olympian Farmer.
CNew York Times. )

John Henry House who born ninety years ago today, is celebrating his birthday at the Amer ican Farm School which he founded thirty years ago just outside of Salonika. He went to the Bal kans as a young man, learned to speak Bulgarian and Turkish and the first educator to attack the Macedonian problem from the point of view of the subsistence farmer If the gods still occu- culture carried on with modern machinery and Greek peasant who with his offering to De- meter, saying.
 Not many furrows on my scanty land
 Nor is my spring of water grand;
 Little for little counts, but give more,
 Good spirit, and promise you great store.
 The Farm School has demonstrated that crops can be increased by 25 per cent land different from that of surrounding farms. This should mean much to Greece, two-thirds of whose six and one half millions live small tracts of land which must be farmed intensively to yield living. Espec ialy in these years when Greece has been giving shelter to more than a million refugees has this agricultural training been godsend And it is not alone better methods of industry and farming that the Farm School graduates carry back to the of communities from which they come, but changed point of view about the dignity of these occupa- tions and an acquaintance with ways in which they "eat their own bread in health
 The Greek Government, recognizing the value lof the school, sends each year selected boys to be trained at it's expense So does Ceres keep again lher ancient promise in giving to Greece another lTrptolemus who brings the rewards which labor can win from the soil" Only few miles away is the site of the home of Philip of Macedon, where Aristotle was teacher of Alexander the Great. He could have had better instruction than the Macedonian boys receive in the American Farm School within sight of Olympus
