14 16 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK. SATURDAY. APRIL 17, 1920 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL, 17, 1920 CHURCHES MAINTAIN TENT CLUB CENTERS Iaterchurch World Movement to Co- cperate With Communities In Work Among Middle West Harvest Hands LCSTABLISH "TENT RELAYS" W'Il Move With Men Through Har- worked in relays. That is, after a concentration of all four in Kansas, two of the tents will move tc lowa and two to Nebraska. As the army moves on two of the tents will go to North Dakota and two to South Dakota. This project is an experiment hy the Interchurch World Movement to reach a quarter of a million men en- gaged in a seasonal occupation and is in direct line with the efforts of its thirty cooperating Protestant denom- inations to minister to the physical, moral and spiritual welfare of all vest Section North From Texas To Canada By the establishment of a chain of tent communities in the wheat belt of the middle west, the Inter- church World Movement of North America expects to put into opera- tion from June to September, this summer, a practical social service agency which, it is believed, will go far toward solving labor and econo- mic troubles in that part of the coun- try. Move With Harvest The project, it was announced this week by R. D. Jenkins, Chicago Di- rector of the Interchurch, consists of establishing four "tent relays," under the direction of secretaries with like abilities to those of the men who handled war camp commun- ity work. Two will be located in Texas where the harvest army begins to mobilize early in June, and two more will be set up in Oklalioma to handle the early harvest army there. The tents will be erected in commun- ities where a thousand or more har- ~~st hands are known to concentrate tor periods averaging three weeks. Work In Relays When the harvest is under way a which reaches on the vast army, 8C 0 in Kansas at the peak period, on its course fram be ins to move Texas up through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Towa, Minnesora and the Dakotas to Canada, the tents will be classes at home and abroad. For this purpose the 30 denominations, throwgh individual "forward move- ments" will raise $337,777,572 during the united simultaneous finanical campaign extending from April 25 to May 2. Club Centers The tents for the migrant harvester of the middle west will be used first of all as homes for farm hands while waiting work. They will serye also as club centers with reading and! writing materials, games, music, an | open forum for ciscussion and religi- ous services. It is an amplification of the plan used successfully hy May- or Gregory of Pratt, Kansas. The tents will be controlled and financed by local joint committees in the communities where they are set up. These committzes will con- sist of church representatives, re- rresentatives of the local commercial club or other business organizations, and the Farm Bureau. The state Interchurch office and the extension department of state colleges will be invited to have cooperative and ad- visory relations' with the work in each state. Churches from Texas {o Canada in the path of the harvest army will be asked to contribute volunteers to assist in the program of furnishing home centers and de- cent living conditions for the men who gather three-fifths of the total grain supply of the worid. Territory Surveyed Surveyors have been at work for months on this problem of reaching the harvest army, and from their findings they have indicated that the greatest concentration of harvesters is found in Kansas, Southeastern Nebraska, the eastern part of South Dakota, Southwestern Minnesota and North Dakota. The Interchurch survey has reveal- ed also that the migrant follows de- finite paths annually across the coun- try. So far no attempt has been made to better the conditions in this seasonal labor. The harvest migra- tion gathers its greatest numbers when the Kansas crop is ripe. After the wheat harvest, the demand for migratory workers is greatly de- creased. A small number of the workers stay for the threshing. The others scatter to new jobs. SELLS THREE VELIES D. R.

In the ten years since then the book value has increased 851,180,000, or 167%, and the number of tele- phones has increased 394,733, or 150%. Vastly more was accomplished in the past ten years in the development of the telephon- service in the ter- ritory of the Chicago Telephone Company than in the thirty-two years preceding. The aevelopment of the telephone business must not be allowed to stop; it must keep step with the industrial growth of the country. The next ten years will require for new buildings, switchboards, poles, wires, cables, instruments, etc., at least twice the amount of the new capital expended during the last ten years, and this large sum of money can be secured from the people who buy bonds,stocks and notes only after they have been convinced that they can safely invest in the Company 's secu.ities. We must pay the wages of labor, and we must pay the wages of capital. If we pay the wages of labor and fail to pay the wages of capital, we can go on for a time with what we have, but we cannot grow, and the industry will come to a standstill, Telephone Rates is the answer! They must be sufficient to pay the wages of competent people to do the work; provide materials for repairs and mainte- nance; replace worn-out property; pay taxes and other expenses and pay the wages of capital--the in- terest and dividends on the bonds, stocks and notes of the Company issued for money to pay for the plant employed in the service of the public CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY Phone Evanston 5995 --a few short weeks. g0 unmentioned here. our attractive collection the home. tery, glassware, elties in bronze and The Season of Weddings Is just in the Offing In fact, the time when June brides will be smiling is close-coming.
