THE LITTLE FELLOW
]. E. Jones

Washington, d. c., June 12-
There has been long and persist
emit effort to induce people in mod
crate circumstances to buy homes,
with the payments guaranteed by
the Government.
Well, some statisticians have
figured it out that these Government
transactions turn out to be a sort
of a bonus from the Government,
which make it $3.50 to $500 year
cheaper to buy home ON the Gov
eminent plan. The same authorities
indicated that it is chaper to buy
house than pay rent. That is
wholly, or partially true. 1t is an
offer of the Government to help
families own their own homes
their own roofs over their heads.
The terms of credit run for SO
long a period that practically all
the houses being built are apt to be
streamlined, modernized, and per-
haps a little flimsy, so that they
are apt to go into the scrap heap
before the final payments are made
In congested city areas a tremend-
Gus proportion of these Government
financed houses are defaulsed, ais
the circumstances of the purchas-
|ers change, and their occupants
move to other localities.
President Roosevelt's latest sug-
gestion is for an extra acre to pro.
vide space for cow, pigs, fruit
trees and vegetable gardens. 1t is
not resisted because it is friendly
gesture and not an offer of more
of the taxpayers money.
But this is the little-fellows day
of opportunity to secure Government
help. A lot of folks are taking adj
vantage of current opportunities.

DIR. M. A. JUL, head of the Uni
sity of Maryland Poultry Depart
ment, states there has been good de-
mand for the 1889 Maryland Poul-
try Yearbook and that a number of
libraries have requested copies for
reference purposes. Increased interest
has been shown because the publica-
ton takes up many problems deal
ing with the poultry industry. Adj

Meaning of Name Sheldon

Sheldon is one of the names on
which authorities differ widely. One
says it is Teutonic and means "a
shield bearer" another that it Is
an Anglo-Saxon residence name
meaning from the hill on the
ledge" Since other Shell combina-
tions are unanimously accorded a
.1edge" meaning, it would seem
that the second meaning is probably
the more nearly accurate. How
ever, it makes better sense to turn it
around, "from the ledge on the
HILL" It would seem that the origi-
nal words were shelf and down.

Why Laundries Are Named Troy

The city of Troy, N. Y, the birth
place of the collar, cuff and shirt
industry, was practically the home
and for many years was the center
of the steam laundry interests of
the country; an interest which has
extended to every city or place of
any importance in the land. So
general is the recognition Of this
fact, that the name, Troy laundry,
is retained by hundreds of laun-
dries in various parts Of the
United States, and is even seen
abroad. It was natural that the
earliest organized movement to pro-
luce the machines demanded for
laundering purposes should have
been made in Troy.
