servation services of the department of agriculture estimates that the present flood waters have washed 300000000 tons of rich top soil out of the ohio valley alone in other words tho arable land there has lost 000000000000 pounds of fertility a part of this soil will settle in lfell i 1 f nr tirs the perfect chewing tobacco areas along the mississippi to in crease crop raising power but a very large part will sweep down the river between the embankments some of it eventually finding its way to the bottom of the stream raising the bed and creating new engineer ing problems and part settling along the delta all of it will be lost forever to the thickly inhabited and highly agricultural area that has been de nuded and this in years to come will be the real permanent tragedy left

been put to use by the government the sums wasted in boondoggling if properly utilized might have saved the ohio valley from much of the present devastation money not churchs biggest problem many willing to contribute funds but not their personal services writes the port arthur news chron icle not long ago a casual group of our port arthur men were engaged in a discussion of the things men talk all about when they get together it was a saturday one of the group men tioned that he was currently convert ing some of his securities into cash just enough to get a little church collection for tomorrow ventured one of the small gathering no it is not that exactly said the other man but i will say this that i do give regularly to the church it is the most valuable institution we have i think it does more for preser vation of social security and good or der than our laws and our police for ces that probably represents the at titude of a large number of men there is giving to the church the fact is proved by a reference to the reports which have been appearing lately from the several annual meet ings of the different congregations in port arthur almost invariably these reports have shown balanced budgets and generally increased receipts to judge from them alone here is pros perity in the churches of all denomin ations as one minister has already been quoted in this paper he has never know a community where tho money necessary to conduct the ac tivities of the church was so easy to obtain as in port arthur it remains a fact however that ministers are not making boasts about the size of the port arthur congregations it appears that many of those who are willing to give of their money as here referred to are not so willing to contribute their jor- sonal services the difficulty which the ministers and others active in the church work find is not to pro cure the funds but to build up the congregations and to procure tho ac tive interest of the men and the wo men who are necessary to the con duct of the various branches of ac tivity in no respect is this more true than in respect to young peoples work the complaint here is that the people are not merely willing but are anxious that their children go to the sunday schools to tho regular ser vices and to join the groups organiz ed for the various age and sexes but stopped in a minute are you tormented with the
