Large Sum Available
To Afford Employment
WASHINGTON, April 29—(LP)
—the federal government has
made available more than $100,-
000,009 to be used In affording
employment throughout the coun-
try. It was made known today
In an administration review of
the unemployment situation.
The sum may go as high as
$125,000,000 If pending plans are
carried through. The admini-
stration looks upon increases In
public roads, public buildings and
public works construction appro-
priations as being a constructive
program’in the face of the period
of business depression.
and Tulsa for numerical and indus-
trial strength stands this western
population movement It has re-
sulted in depletion of southeastern
Oklahoma towns and the hamlets
ol the eastern and northeastern
sections of the state.
Great Increases Predicted
Oklahoma, the new state which
stood out as a prosperous spot on
the nation’s business maps during
thejrecent depression will show
great population increases, figures
indicate Coincident with its in-
dustrial expansion and utilization
of natural resources, thousands
have drifted into tlie state, tried
their hands at this and that pur-
wit and still are in the transitory
stage. Newcomen of the past 10
years have found employment In
the oil pools and then shifted with
gricultural experiments in new
land.
Diversification in crops and dis-
covery of fertility of what once
3oemed arid sagebrush prairies of
western Oklahoma has brought life
io I hose plains. Almost without
exception western communities
have shown large population in-
creases.
Outstanding in the decline are
the cotton communities of the
soutlu/ist. Ten years ago. this
crop was a standby of that region.
Included in the returns showing by
sections some populations trends

cording to Fred Percy, county
agent, ia surprisingly large.

Affair at Capital
With an assigned quota of 300
members, the American Legion is
intensely striving to reach this
figure, although the present mem-
bership is listed at about. 258.
According to those in charge of
the soliciting of members, there
are more than 60 members who
have not paid their dues.
Only 42 of these are necessary
to bring the membership of the
local post to its full quota, ana
If more pay they would be over
their quota.
A committee is to be appointed
to call on every one of these six-
ty some members, and urge them
to pay their dues of only $3.35
for the entire year. This amount
is less than a cent a day. The
American Legion is doing a great
work and is recognized as a grent
organized group. They are doing
work of national scope.
At the present time, them is a
bill before congress asking that
there be an extension of time
allowed for the filling for compen-
sation by the members of I lie or-
ganization. This bill according
to local members is expected to go
through. This will menu a great
deal to some American Legion
members.
