You often wonder why your elders are ever lastingly saying, "Don't do this and don't, don't, don't." As a physical trainer, I am advising you never to use tobacco or drink. These are mighty critical times for youth, because in youth, a secure foundation must be laid for life's effort. Of course, you should know that your life is easier than our life, and our life is easier than that of our parents, but history shows that the boys and girls who had to start early to make their way, amounted to a heap, in most cases. You are largely just what is built into you and when my children introduce us to their friends, we thrill when they proudly say, "This is MY dad and MY Mother." I have found thab the verse in the Bible that says, "Honor your father and Mother that their days may be long," does not mean hours in a day, as is many times the case. * Enid, Okla., Dec. 20, 1936.

WASHINGTON. -- To Prof. Rexford Guy Tugwell goes the palm for speed in organizing a new governmental unit. It Is common knowledge that government bureaus and agencies can spring up like Jack-in-the-box. No private business organization ever has been put together with the speed-- and waste--that characterizes creation of a government agency once its birthright is established by congress or by executlv# order of the President. . Tugwell's 12,069 Employees. Professor Tugwell, who is paid $10,- 000 a year as under-secretary of agriculture, is the rural resettlement administrator. When he was "relieved, of Agricultural department duties by" President Roosevelt and told to carry otit the resettlement plah, he developed an organization in a manner that left other officials gasping. Starting with only himself and his secretary, he built a staff embracing 12,089 In slightly less than five months, all on the government pay roll. As resettlement administrator, It Is Professor Tugwell's Job to transfer farm families from rundown land to other parts of the country where they can make a living. Destitute and unemployed families In cities who are willing to become farmers also will be moved by Professor TugwelJ. He will build farm homes, barns and outbnlldlngs and equip them. Distribution of Funds. President Roosevelt gave Professor Tugwell -$240,000,000 to use In this way, the conviction being that a vast amount of employment would be created In the building and equipping of these new farms. 1 To date, according to the latest figures made public by the President, the resettlement administration has been able to give work to Its own staff of 12,089 and 5,012 unemployed who are working directly on the relief project. So, Professor Tugwell has a staff for management that Is more than, twice the number of unemployed who have been given Jobs. His s|aff draws a total of $1,750,000 a month In salaries while the relief workers on the resettlement projects are being, paid a total of $300,000 a month. srtgla <f cfcaaa is lost la * •eaitty. says a writer la the PfcllaMphla iBfalror.

United States Treasury depsrtment, reveal. "It appears thst the first year's op. •ration of the Potato Act will entail a cost of not less than $12,000,000," lays Mr. Tugwell's letter, addressed to the house committee on agriculture. "This minimum estimate for effective operation covers merely the expenses of the Agricultural Adjustment administration during the first year of the act. The cost of prifrffng and distributing stamps, as <£tt as the enforcement and other activities of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, have not been Included In the $12,000,000." Twelve million dollars, according to the hqreau of Industrial control. Is njore than the cost of enforcing prohibition In any year before 1930.
