Dates Will be given •u£ for these meetings later by the home agents. The fine work done by these emergency assistants is most grat ifying to their supervisors and to the people of the counties. The home agents are concen trating their time on presenting to every family in her county, both landlord and tenant, the minimum planting plan, worked out by the extension service for'a* family of five. This plan contains specific Instructions as to acreage, amounts of seed per acre, amount of poul try, fruit, milk and amount of all other food and feed supplies nec essary to be raised to properly nourish a family of five. By following this plan, every planter is urged to use approxi mately 18 acres of land taken out of cotton to provide the necessary food and feed for a year. The plan Includes the right amount of fresh as well as canned fruits and veg etables needed. In carrying on this work the agents have visited 847 homes, written 120 news articles, held 265 meetings v/ith adults attending with 2,412 and 365 meetings of 4-H Clubs v/ith attendance of 4,805.

Gladys Thomas Alma days of the month the company completed the assembly of 33,545 new units which have already, been, shipped to dealers. This is within 12,000 units of production for the full month of February last year, Mr. Coyle stated. Plants are now headed toward capacity, with dealers making de livery of new 1934 models to con sumers, and the rate at which orders are being received indicates capacity operations for some months to come, the , Chevrolet head declared. Detroit shows the largest gain on the company’s employment map. The payroll here includes the cen tral office staff, and the workers at the Chevrolet plant centering nt St. Aubin, Euclid and Holbrook Avenues, where the new “knee- action” wheel sets are being built. Detroit payrolls as of February 10 stood at 16,809 people as compared with a previous all-time high here of 12,720 in June, 1929, and less than 8,000 one year ago. Much of the increase is due to the large number of men engaged solely in the building of the “knee-action” devices, w’hich are coming off their own assembly line with increasing frequency from day to day. “This one invention,” said Mr Coyle, has added several thousand men to our payrolls—men who could not have been given work had v/e not incorporated the new device in our 1934 cars.” At Flint, where four plants are maintained, payrolls were 15,725 men as compared with 11,100 a year ago. Bay City, where small parts are manufactured, 1,782 were on the payrolls as against 1,081 last year. At Saginaw, where Chevrolet operates the largest grey iron foundry in the world, two daily shifts consisting of 4,660 men are pouring castings for the new mod els, as against 3.443 in February of j 1933. the glorious invitation at the end of chapter 11. What comfort thi$ brings to a distracted, disheart ened world! There is no music like the gospel, and nowhere does that the traces walking along with us. What a beautiful privllego! The third key word is “Learn!” Jesus is the world’s greatest Teacher.

NEW THEY LEARN GEOGRAPHY, TOO Geography isn’t scheduled as one of the studies in 4-H club work, but enrolled boys and girls learn a lot about it. First lessons come "in the trips they win to State camps, fairs and other events. Many members win trips to places outside their States. In such ad ventures they get to see different parts of the country and big cities; they visit museums, trading cen ters and markets. Large cities and the way people live and do business in them are a never ending wonder to these youngsters. “1 was spellbound while riding in a taxicab to my hotel,” writes. Garnet Green, an Idaho girl who made the trip to Chicago last year to attend the National Club Congress. “I never imagined so many people, so many vehicles • of one kind or another and so many tall buildings could be crowded together in so small a space,” she continues. “The ele- Msolated vated street cars, the elevators in the building that shot you sky ward at dizzy speed,, and the strange sights at every turn made one think they were in anoihe.* world.” This same girl had read of shaiks and strange animals with keen interest, but to see them alive or stuffed in the great museums were thrills she will never forget.

Jesus is the world’s greatest Friend. Here is the note of a wooer, a lover who under stands. What we all want today is security, and we get it when we come close to Jesus. He extends His arms of invitation to us, who are burdened and broken-hearted, and we find rest in Him. The second key word is “Take!” Jesus is the world’s greatest Giver. magnificent experience, rich in heavenly beauty and joy.

The final key word is “Find!” Jesus is the world’s greatest Treasure-House. And what do We> find? We discover the rest that comes through intimate association with the world’s supreme charac ter, a rest identical with peace. Come! Take! Learn! Find!

Thus you can always get a ma jority vote to do nothing to take no chances. But there was a mi nority report. Joshua and Caleb, without • minimizing the difficul ties, protested stoutly that the land was fertile and worth fighting for. They brought back samples of fruit to prove their contention, but it club members always look forward Toledo, where transmissions are *° a glimpse of the gieat riveis, manufactured, had 2,571 men at especially the Missouri and Missis- work. within one man of the 1929 high.
