He has been active In the New England young rec publican movement since It's start. ramesceontra Y. etaoishrdlumfwp
 Other speakers on the banquet program who have attracted more than sectional interest included Gov- ernor Francis P. Murphy of New Hampshire and Governor Lewis o. Barrows of Maine. Governor Mur- phy was 0 speaker at the September 1885,, conference ct the Wentworth and really gave the first talk of his campaign for Governor on that oc- casion, while Governor Barrows has commanded a large following among the young men and women of Maine since he became secretary of State a few years ago, ,..

He will give greeting for the city of Ports- mouth and for his local organization who are hosts for the weekend.
 Two of the leading national young republican figures will complete the speaking program. They are 1a- tional chairman of the young rec publican national federation, J. Kenneth Bradley of Bridgeport Conn, and New England President and Eastern Director Wallace Stearns of Boston. Their talks are expected to reflect the, point of view of the national leaders of the young republican movement. Both have been active for many years in the movement and are founders of the New England Young Republican Council and originators of the New England conferences.

30 States Already Equipped toTake
 Federal Loans

BY WILLIS THORNTON (NEA Service stafF COrrespOndentl THE coming year will see | a determined assault on the problem of the "one-third of our people" who are "ill- housed"
 Passage of the Wagner Steagall housing bill and the Bankhead-Jones farm home bill launches the government on it's first long-term pro- gram to help provide the million and a half new homes that the United States needs to achieve minimum standard of housing. A recent PWA survey indicates that 1t would take that many new homes every year for four years to supply the need.
 Thirty states are now equipped with laws providing for the crea. ton of housing authorities for cities, towns, and counties that will enable them to take advantage of the $500,000,00 in loans which the fed- eral government will offer them in the next three years.
 More Money In Wages
 Since the borrowing community must clear away each year as many family units as 1t builds with federal government help, standards will not only be raised throughout, but there will be $i30,000,000 in direct and $240, 100000 in indirect wages for building trades workers. Exceptions to the "clear away" rule may be made where actual physical short- age of housing exists,
 The Bankhead-Jo act further provides '$l0,0oo,0o0 the first year, $25, 100000 the second, and $50, ,000,- co the third year in long-term loans to help to ownership of land the two out of Ave American farmers now working others land.
 Not less than l4,000 American families will be re-houSed by the plan during the next three years.
 Under the Wagner -Steagill act the federal government will lend % per cent of the cost of housing prof. ects to communities which will put up the other 10 per cent. The loans are to be amortised over 60 years. Mangled In Conference
 The government may not lend money to any project-in cities of less than 50000-which costs more than 5000 for each family unit, 50 with each $i,l00000 1t lays out, the communit ycan build 272 units, flg- uring In the interest and operat- ing expenses. Cities of more than 60,00o can spend up to $6000 6 fam fly unit, Provisions are made for federal subsidy of projects which can not otherwise bring rents down to rates which ordinary wage-earn. CTS can pay.

SPIRIT or SPRING

The peoples whisper to the trees,
 And wrap their golden flame Around the secret haunt of bees
 Like fairies in 6 game At dusk they climb the western sky,
 And peep between the clouds; They see the sunsets colorS die
 And put on silken shrouds. The evening star on silver strings
 Plays them lullaby, And niockingbirdS on Slumber'G wings
 Drop love-rotes from the sky. They dwell where fancy lullS to sleep
 Above the winds of morn. And romance hides in forests deep
 The flowers Spring has borne T% GEORGE L. 1
