N WINNETKA TALK January 29, 1927 i | Li The Georgian--Davis at Hinman, Evanston Unrivalled Location The Georgian is in the very heart of Evanston surrounded by fine homes, yet just across from shops and large stores. But three blocks from high speed trans- portations. Near excelling schools, prom- inent clubs, churches, bathing beaches, bridle path, golf clubs and amusements. To a woman this means much--living at The Georgian she is in the center of residential and social Evanston and but a few steps from the North Shore's choic- est of exclusive shops. To a man, weary from a long day in the city, The Georgian is near the railroad station--and on reaching The Georgian he finds refinement, peace and quiet. Visit The Georgian today. Take the con- ducted tour of inspection. See how much more is included in the rates, suites $165 to $550; hotel rooms $80 to $125.

But as a contrast to | this there are thousands of acres in | our neighborhood that is waste land | still. "We have been working along much the same line as last vear. You may recall that we have a land settlement for poor Christians called Vaunpuram. The area of this project is 84 acres and 33 families have built their homes. There is also a waiting list of families who want to come. This year due to the help of a friend, a weaving school was started and other community en- terprises. Cloth weaving and mat making are taught to the adults as a subsidiary trade and there is a day school for the children. The people paid the rent promptly and have made small savings deposits besides. The goal for this year was for every family to purchase one pair of oxen. Tree planting and road repairing are in progress. Rev. George said one day "This congregation is the best in my pastorate." The advantage of such a settlement is that whereas these Chris- tians were formerly scattered in five or six different villages, they can now be together. It was difficult to have schools and church services for them before, but now that is a regular part of their village life. Through the Economic Improvement association, work has been pushed over the whole Mission area for better Agriculture and uplift of the village life in general. Place was given for this subject in.the program of the Teachers' Institutes which were held in three different centers. About 200 teachers were pres- ent at each institute, so this gave an The Mcllvaine Oil Burner According to Experience A steady flame burning contin- uously,* not intermittently, in your heating plant will supply sufficient even heat with the smallest amount of fuel. *The Mecllvaine is a Continuous Burner.

No other food will keep the body so well armed against the attacks of disease. excellent opportunity. By lectures and lantern slides the advantages of modern methods were shown. "On one afternoon there was a dem- onstraton of plowing with iron ploughs and the use of other implements was shown. Even the harrow is a new idea to many of them. Emphasis this year has been placed on the need for sowing fodder crops in rows, so a cultivator could be used. The seed drill only sows two rows at a time and the cultivator is a simple device but it does the work. The custom of the past has been to sow broadcast and then trust to luck. You can imagine the kind of corn crop that would grow in America by that method. A dem- onstration was also held at the big Workers' conference in September. We have been helping in the Hook-Worm campaign also. The Rockefeller Foun- dation has established work out here in connection with local Medical de- partment and on four different occa- sions sent their man to help us. As a result of this some of our villages were chosen as centers for the campaign and for demonstration in Madura Dt. Battle Hook-Worm "After seeing the stereopticon pic- tures and also the moving picture ex- hibited by this campaign leader there is no doubt our people know what the hook-worm pest is and how to get rid of it. We have distributed hundreds of parmphlets also, so I believe that the news was carried back to every village where these 900 and more pas- tors are at work. You will be amazed to know that in some sections of South India 90 and even 95% of the people have hook-worm. Surely here is a field for some good work, for the treatment is simple and inexpensive. In our boarding school and wherever we have any influence, this is a matter for attention. Although I feel our as- sociation is doing good work yet we are only at the beginning of what ought to be done. We have ploughs and other implements at one center besides Manamadura for purpose of demons- tration." (to be continued) Mrs. Clifford P. Jaedecke of 518 Rosewood avenue, entertained twelve guests, members of a card club, at luncheon and bridge, Wednesday, Jan- uary 26.
