self respect."
It reads—" The whip of hunger,
poverty, and fear are Mr. Roosevelt’s
gifts to the workers of the WPA.
You are being bought, body and soul
for a slave's wage and deliberately
kept down by the men who pull the
strings. Because yor are on the
WPA roll, they have a chance to use
you.”
The circular, which Is unsigned,
W'arns workers that to be caught with

SAVANNAH MERCHANT
% HAS INTERESTING LIFE
A lifetime packed with exciting
happenings, meetings with famous
personages, and of growing with Sa
vannah has been the experience of
M. Wilensky, now celebrating his
thirtieth year in business at Brough
ton and Lincoln streets.
Coming to the United States in
1882, he obtained a land grant from
the government in what is now South
Dakota. This he farmed for three
years, before the urge to return to
the metropolis of New York overcame
him. From there, he came to Savan
nah in June, 1886, frc . then on, his
climb to his present prominent local
position was rapid.
Many important local improvements
have the result of Mr. Wilensky's
efforts, including the paving of Lin
coln street, the closing of several ob
jectionable dance halls, the lighting
of Broughton street, the construction
of theaters, and others.
M. Wilensky and Son, which is the
name of the partnership since his
son, Moses, was admitted into the
firm in 1914, is today a successful re
tail establishment dealin in electric
refrigerators in a large and modem
store at Broughton and Lincoln
streets.

UNUSUAL SIGN AT COL
LEGE FINALLY EX
PLAINED
WELLESLEY, Mass., June 23 (TP)
Summer visitors at Wellesley college
no longer are puzzled today over the
meaning of a four-word sign in the
college alumnae office. The sign
reads—"Yenching Pillows for Sale.”
No one seemed to know just what
"Yenching” was. Gueses ranged from
a new sport to a possible cure for
hay fever. Finally some one asked
college authorities what it meant.
The answer was that "Yenching”
is the name of a college in China.
The authorities explained that the
pillows or cusl/ons are made in
China and sold by Weilesley students
for the benefit of the Chinese insti
tution.

As in INDUSTRIAL CITY GARDENS, “The
Salaried Man’s Paradise,” where you may .ac
quire not a city lot but a little country estate of
one to twenty acres, or more, of fertile, well
drained land, on which we will build, and sell
to you on terms like rent, a lovely frame or brick
bungalow, with modern hath, running water,
electric lights, telephone and street car facilities.
On this property, you may not only enjoy city
conveniences but all country advantages, in that
you may have a profusion of flowers, an abun
dance of vegetables, fruits, poultry, a pony for
your boy, your shooting dogs, etc., with the city
only five minutes away.
Go out and see for yourself that it is not only
a pleasant place to Kve, but a safe, sound and
profitable place in which to invest, as the three
hundred odd happy, thrifty, prosperous resi
dents in INDUSTRIAL CITY GARDENS will
testify.
Also, in SILK HOPE FARMS (shortly to be

fine land as is to be found in the entire country;
yet, only three miles from the city limits of Sa

galow, with city conveniences, where all the joyg
of country life and pleasures of home ownership
may be had, and where you may have the satis
faction of knowing that you can make a good
living at home on your own land should you ever
quit or lose your job.
When you will have acquired and paid for such
a lovely place, you may justly swell up with
pride in that you invested your savings and the
money you were paying for rent iu such a place
instead of squandering it c y
