Father Flanagan Favors Old Time 'Whipping Post' OMAHA, Jan. -The whipping post is the only punishment fit for fathers, habitually guilty of delinquency in the care of their children, according to E. J. Flanagan, head of Father Flanagan's Boys' Home here. While the director of the nonsectarian institution does not propose to take the law into his own hands and administer the, floggings, he nevertheless recommends welfare agencies consider it as a means of eliminating one of their most pressing problems, says a despatch from Omaha, Dec.

29. With many small boys under his care, Father Flanagan has often pointed out a father's first duty is the care of his children. Juvenile court records show, he said, that a large proportion of juvenile delinquency is due to lack of paternal interest in the youngsters. "Since our legislative bodies are now SO solicitous in passing laws to protect society against kidnapers and other extreme criminals, why shouldn't they go a little farther and pass some laws which might in some measure punish bad fathers who are contributing toward juvenile delinquency?" Father Flanagan declared. An eight-month cruise of the vessel, Sir James Clark Ross, netted 1444 whales, which yielded oil to an estimated value of over $1,250,000.00.

Second May Be Even Better Business has been slowly creeping upward since September and is today nine per cent above last December's level. This rising trend should carry into early 1935.

1934 GOOD YEAR; NO BETTER INDEX FOR CORPORATION Confidence in the Future of Mississippi Shown by State and Foreign Corporations "The year of 1934 has been quite active one, especially as compared with recent previous years, in the organization and incorporation of state capital, and the, qualification of foreign capital to do business within the state, by filing a copy of their respective charters with and paying the prescribed charter fees to the Secretary of State, as provided by law," said Walker Wood, Secretary of State, in summing up corporate activities in his -department. "Up to the close of business on Monday, there had been 445 domestic charters recorded in the office of Secretary of State, during the present year, and eighty-eight foreign charters filed, making a total of 533 charters for the year, or an average of nearly two each business day. The total authorized capital of the state charters amounted to approximately six million dollars, which is not considered as an unusual amount for Mississippi charters, due fact that many of the state's corporations organized recently have not carried the large authorized amounts of capital that was true back in the years prior to the depression. "The total capitalization of the foreign corporations qualifying within the state, has been unusually large," sathe Mr. Wood," and amounts enormous figures of $819,923,300.00, or approximately twice the total of foreign capital entering the state for any previous year.

"Among the foreign charters filed for qualification during 1934, there were thirty-two corporations, whose authorized capital stock ran from $50,000 up to as high as $600,000,000.00, and several of these ran far into the Millions. There were twentyfive domestic corporations filed for record throughout the year, that carried an authorized capital of $50,000.00 or more. "The increase in the number of domestic corporations over other recent years, and the entry of largely capitalized foreign corporations to the State of Mississippi bespeaks the continued and renewed confidence of not only our own people, but on the part of those from various other states of the Union, who. recognized and appreciate the advantages and opportunities offered by the Magnolia State," concluded Mr. Wood.

Jan Approximately 25,000 federal census employees Wednesday begun huge task of enumerating the more than six million farms and ranches of the United States in what is probably the most important agricultural census in the nation's history, according to a statement released by Director William L.

"The Fifteenth Decennial Census Act, approved June 18, 1929, directed that a mid-decennial Census of Agriculture be taken January 1, 1935, for the calendar year 1934," Director Austin said. "Because of the tremendous upheaval, in the agriculture, great due basic to the indepression, drought and other factors new farm statistics are urgently needed in connection with the Government's vast recovery program. "The earnest cooperation of the farmer is necessary to the success of this census, for it is one of the federal activities designed primarily for his benefit. However, the welfare of agriculture affects all other industries, directly or indirectly, and the public generally. The statistics are necessary not only for the ordinary transaction of governmental business, but also for allotment programs.

These programs range from the allocations of the Agricultural Adjustment Emergency Relief and Farm Administration to, the Federal Credit Administrations.

R. McKee. A dog and a radio, which the plaintiff seeks to have enjoined, and $2,000 worth of alleged damto Mrs. Antoinette Centini's nerves, prime factors in a Superior Court action at Oakland, are causing considerable discussion these days in the neighborhood of 1812 67th Ave. There are the dog lovers and the radio fans who found it difficult to reconcile Mrs.

Hundreds of Englishmen Claim They See Angels Nationwide interest is aroused by the declarations of hundreds of people that they have seen angels, says a dispatch from London, dated Dec.

29. Here is the testimony of a Northampton mother: "Only a month ago I was sitting at the bedside of my dying child, hoping against hope. "Then I saw the forms of two angels. "When I looked at the child I found she had gone home with them." experience of manifest kind: Lilcoln has, had an "Twice in she says, "I have seen angels. In both instances I was near death.

"There was no mistaking the forms that hovered round my bed. On each occasion I was afraid to die, but the sight of the angels removed all my fear." Even the Bishop of London believes that children can see angels. "It is quite possible for minded children to see angels," he told a London congregation. Maurice Barbanelli, the famous psychist, was even more emphatic when asked his views: "Children are psychic, and see and commune with angels in the spirit world until the psychic powers are killed by ignorant and foolish parents, "In adults the power is nullified by materialism, but even in their case great mental and physical disturbance restores them. "In times of stress," continued Mr.

Barbanelli, "it is easily possible for grown-ups to see visions, so that there is every likelihood that the stories of the Angels of Mons, which thrilled the world in the war years, may have been perfectly true.".
