AS you look at the words Jack

seems unreal. However, it is my
personal belief that with Gods
help we will succeed in bringing
them together by the establish
ment of a Nachlat Jacksonville in
Eretz Israel.
It is unbelievable at this critic
al moment that there could be
a passive Jew (no matter to what
group he belongs) who would not
want to support this project which
will enable our destitute brethren
to become self sufficient on the
soil of our ancient homeland.

the realization of the age-old Jew

Eretz Yisroel. But the first step
toward eliminating all hindrances
is taken on the soil acquired by
J. N. F.
At this very moment, diplomatic
intrigue and power politics barri-
cade the road to Zion rebuilt. We
protest, we plead, we resist. Our
ewes are turned to the United Ma

the Investigations to end all in

last review of the Jewish case.
May mercy prevail here and JUS
tice come forth from its deliber-
atoms.
We even restrain our hopes
not without good reason. Our ex-
perience with investigating COM
missions has not been confidence
inspiring. The past three decades
have shown that the mandatory

logic of their findings when Zion
ist claims were substantiated.

This family has acquired a COM
munity-wide reputation for gener-
OILS giving to traditional, national,
civic and even personal causes.
For the many years that this
cm,ple have been citizens of this
community, they have always been
receptive to the pleas of individ-
uals and institutions with almost
M limitation. So unreserved have
been their response to these calls
that some have even feared that
this virtue might be turned into a
weakness. However, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mizrahi have preferred to take
the chances of an occasional error
in giving to some who are unwor-
thv lest, by a more restrictive pol
icy, they might injure even one
righteous cause.
Mr.. Mizrahi has been for many
years, a regular attender of the
daily Minyon of the Jacksonville
Jewish Center. AS those who are
familiar with this service will tell
you, every plea made to the COM
munity is first presented here,
since it is the one gathering place
of Jewish people almost always
in session. Hence visiting clergy
men and other religious function
ers who are seeking assistance
either for themselves or for a
cause usually make their first con-
tact with the community at the
daily Minyon. And invariably their
first support comes from the gen
erous-hearted Mr.. Mizrahi. Not
only does his assistance prove

Some of our people have given

it's greatest tribute. And such was
the case in the recent passing Of
the Rev. Joseph Robin. So intim-
ate and sincere had been the at
tachments between Mr.. Robin and
the individual members of the
community that each felt as if he
had sustained personal loss, to
the same degree as if a member
of his own family circle had died.
Similarly do these engaged in
the activities of the Zionist cause
feel an irreparable loss. Although
Mr.. Robin had been inactive for
several months prior to his death,
only now are Zionists beginning
to realize the loss suffered. For it
becomes difficult to picture CAM
paigns for the Jewish National
Fund for Zionist membership
without the sincere and devoted
assistance from this revered lead
er and counsellor. For years, this
beloved communal leader almost
by himself shouldered the mante1
of leadership for the cause of the
Keren Kayemet. Many were the
years in the history of the Zionist
Organization that it's entire MEM
bership work was the singular
product of his efforts.
His work and participation will
be even more sorely felt because
of the sincerity and heart devo-
ton which accompanied it. Too
often work is performed out of OBJ
legation or pressure from without,
but in the case of Mr.. Robin it
was the result of a pressure from
whitman inner impetus from his
own personal love and attachment
to Zion. His sincerity and his en-
thusiasm cannot be soon replaced
or ever forgotten.
In evaluating the worth of any
| individual, it is not uncommon to
attempt to draw so-called "bal-
ance sheet" of the individuals mer-
it's and dement's, but in the case
of the Rev. Robin the securing OF
dement's to place on the balance
sheet becomes most difficult
task. If he were guilty of short
comings and failings, they were
only discernible to himself for his
fellowmen never knew of them.
More than the loss suffered by
the Zionist cause has been that
suffered by the Jewish Center OF
which he was an integral part
Only recently was his resignation
as Sexton accepted and then only
after considerable postponment
in the hope that his long service
might yet be continued. His SER
vice to this institution touched
every activity from the education
of the child to the direction of the
final burial rites. His friendliness,
warmth, hospitality and considera-
ton for others made him the most
beloved personality ever to serve
on the staff of the institution.
Not only has the Zionist cause
and the Jewish Center suffered a
great loss but the entire commun-
itv has as well, for there was no
Jewish cause which did not secure
his active support and assistance.
Whether it was the individual
transient in need of food and lodg-
ing or some national cause with
out local sponsorship, he was the
first to respond. He was ever IN
the vanguard of those laborlng
for every Jewish cause. Though
others may assume some of their
duties, such persons are never re-
placed.
The one consolation that a COM

which they themselves have pur-
sued. If it is true that the doing
of the good deed itself is the best
example to others, then certainly
the philanthropy of the parents in
honor of their children is the best
possible moral lesson to their sons
and daughters to do likewise.

joint resolution, 1877 follows:
A principle part of the Republican
plan to halt initiation is the provision
for voluntary agreements by industry
to effect the ALLEGATION and inventory
control of scarce materials. Ever
since the killing of OPA, CPA and
the Wyatt Veterans Housing pro-
gram, many important industries and
business concerns nave been operat-
| ing under voluntary agreements to
distribute materials. This voluntary
control method stands condemned by
two years of operation as a dismal
| failure. Legalizing these practices
by the passage of the Republican
plan to halt initiation will make no
difference in the result-for it will
still fail.
The record of voluntary control of
scarce materials by industry is a sorry
one. Business bankruptcies, because
of lack of materials, and grey mar
kets, characterize this haphazard
method of obtaining precious raw ma
terials md components. Once the
congress gives legal erect TO these
voluntary arrangements such prac-
tees will further aggravate an already
intolerable condition
A special study of the Department
of Commerce for the second half of
the year 1916 shows that about 55
per cent of all business failures was
due to scarcity of merchandise and
materials. In the retail field almost
two thirds (63 per cent? of the fail

SOIL LOSS is POWDERED
BY WINNETT TIMES

The next time you stand on the
banks of a muddy stream and watch
the silt-laden water hurry by ask your
self: Whose land is being carried
away?" And while bordering that
question consider several facts regard
ing your relationship to the land.
Farmers and ranchers may own it,
but all of us depend on it. If all the
harvested cropland in the United
States were. divided up evenly there
now would be about 2H acres of
land for each person, but only 25 years
ago there was 81 acres for each per-
son. From that 21s acres must come
practically all your food and most of
the fiber for your clothes. Some
farmer tills that 2 u acres for what
he can get from the crops and there
by frees you and many others from
the necessity of raising your own food.
Multiply that by several million and
we have millions of people free to
devote themselves to teaching, manu-
featuring, building and doing the in
Vulnerable things that make our way
of living possible. If each person had
to farm his 2 u acres all this wouldn't
be possible. But we still depend on
the land.
That's why you may well ask:
Whose 21a acres is now going down
the river ?"-Winnett Times.

deplored the practice of putting cars
out at division points for extra feed

schedule could eliminate this stop.
They also went on record to con-
tinue to expand and develop the

feeling of the patrons of the Farmers
Union Live Stock Association that
the Herald deserves the loyal support
of every member of co-operatives.
The group also warned farmers to
beware of direct buyers who are not
under government supervision as to
grades, weights and marketing prac-
tees and also warned members to
beware of sales ring where "scalpers"

Is it likely to save enough in

Nobody knows how much water

Nobody knows how much water
would be required to maintain a 9-foot
channel for the eight months of the
navigation season.
AS former Governor Sharpe of &c.

But by the best educated guess the

That's approximately the whole flow
