year By mall, months By AROUND TOWN WMb OoetM What Other Editors ONE WAY TO SATISFY THE OLD HOME URGE from emotions at this year. It is not Most of us who came amall towns and rural most of us can bark back to such a beginning-find ourselves struggling with some pretty fine season of the homesickness, but'something closely related to that feeling, that stirs within us a desire to visit former acenes and meet old friends. Possibly as good a definition as any would be to call the feeling th old home urge. Not long ago, Mclntyre had an attack of the ailment, when he revealed his heart through his mind's longing mood. Of course, he made a good job of the revelation.

Here we sit in an apathy of wonder. How is the old village faring? And the people. th people we knew? What a long row of interrogations we could make, all carrying an honest interest in the people and things back yonder. It has been a hard winter. Did the smoke curl regularly, every morning from all the housetops? Bet the little stream that rambles quietly near the town in summer time is a surging threat now, this being the freshet season.

And the pasture where we went to milk the cow--that probably is a lake. There is only one cure for the home town Go back for a day or two, and come away feeling clean, sort o' purified for having let a sentimental urge take possession of what is best in Blade. IF THINGS like this continue, Jonah with his "whale yarn" will definitely have to take a back seat. This Dept. is threatened with being swamped with fish stories --each one bigger and better than the one before.

There's no telling where the cycle will end. TAKE this one. frinstance: Sunday Mr. and Mrs. W.

E. (Red) Hampton and Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Wright drove to the C. and A.

lake at Higbee. The outing was for the benefit of the husbands alone. When the wives asked to be taken in the boat, they were told they'd have to wait on the bank. That they would just be nuisances. So while the hubbies, with all their tackle and equipment, chartered a boat and rowed up and down the lake, the wives sought out Caretaker Farris.

Farris was sympathetic. Rigging up a couple of bamboo poles with cork floats and plain hooks, he told Mrs. Hampton and Mrs. Wright to enjoy themselves. And they did.

When it was time to go home the husbands and wives counted up to see who were the bigger anglers. The final score was: Husbands 2 Wives 20 AND early IE the week the Rev. J. E. Hampton set a record mark for other fishers to cast at.

Also fishing in the Higbe.e lake he pulled in two fish caught on one plug with a single cast. Both fish struck at the plug simultaneously and were promptly snagged. One weighed 3 pounds and the other 2 pounds. The incident is attested by Delmer (Dude) Durham, who was there when it happened. SUCH FICKLENESS! FURTHERMORE--though their names were not learned--a Monroe county couple boating at Elk Fork, south of Paris, caug-ht a fish without using poles, lines, hooks 'or bait.

The fact is, they weren't even fishing.

4 goes: Yesterday morning two little boys, barefooted and in overalls, were trudging across Reed street carrying poles and a bucket filled with water. They had just come from the Tank Pond. A genial old gentleman on the street corner grew curious. Hello, boys," he called. "What have you got in your bucket? "Fish," announced the spokes-, man for the pair.

"That's good," said the man. "Did you have much luck?" "Did we?" ejaculated the spokesman. "We got one 4-incher and a whole bunch of little ones! OUR QUERULOUS QUOTATIONS DEPT: Will H.

THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER, FORD SAYS DETROIT, June 20 JB--Henry Ford, in an interview today, expressed the conviction that "the ndustrial picture looks better all the time," and that "things are getting better in spite of everybody grabbing up all they can "Things are very much on the up grade," the automobile manufacturer said, "and have been since people made up their minds to get out and work." Ford said that although he had not given much attention to the activities of the session of Congress just closed, he thought it "quite natural-that people should breathe a sigh of relief when Congress goes home and that business should 'stretch' and start out anew.

Another big auto tour by members of the Moberly Auto Club for the purpose of advertising the Magic Cty for the Commercal Club is now being' planned ana arranged by the special touring committee of the Auto Club.

committee's declaration of principles is cast in elastic language; yet a second or third reading scarcely can fail to disclose a clearly-dominant note. It is an outpouring of indignation against the professors-against that "small group vested with temporary authority," trying "covertly" to accomplish un- American -things. President Roosevelt is not mentioned; the document can be read as even indicating a belief that the President is the victim of this "covert" brain-trust scheming. NRA is not mentioned, nor is A A A. or any other official agency.

The "small group" of planners stands out. There is where the committee seeks to turn on the heat. Insofar as. it can, the governing body of the party Has marked out the brain trust' as Issue No. 1 for the coming congressional campaign.

Indicted Professors Directly or by implication, the professors are indicted on several counts: 1. Radicalism, destructive of American institutions. 2. Ignorance, leading to experiments which experience has shown worthless. 3.

Extravagance, involving "reckless" spending of public funds. 4. Tyranny, directed at. curtailment of individual liberty, private initiative, freedom of speech. In spite of the dulcit phrases in which some of these accusations are wrapped, they strike deeply at what many believed, even before the committee met in Chicago, would be certain to form the central theme of the campaign.

Conceding his popularity, the Republicans mostly are reluctant to attack the President; but they g.re not pulling their punches at his professorial entourage. The Democrats will offer the voters Mr. Roosevelt. The Republicans will counter by saying that however right he may be, he is in bad company. That seems to be than 200 persons, many of them from out-of-town, attended opening of the Sho-Boat rool 1 garden last night.

The lower deck has been arranged for dancing: and the upper deck for spectators. Among the out-of-town persons attending were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lawson of Glendale, Mrs. P.

Martin of Lincoln a few minutes after a $278 safe robbery here ana announced he had confessed the theft. An Ambassador The decision to put the Republican official stamp of approval on the brain-trust attack was by far the most interesting development at Chicago. No similar declaration ever had been made a national committee. Compared to this, election of a new national chairman was large- lv routine. The expected happened.

There was a false note about the surprise expressed by inliu- ential westerners at the selection of Henry P. Fletcher. These politicians knew all along that the chances of any radically different outcome were very slim. A month ago it was pointed out in these columns that, being constituted as it was, the committee could do nothing but compromise on someone diplomatic enough to offend no one, and enough to raise a campaign fund, that what the committee would do would be to choose "not a general, but an ambassador." This the committee did bothligr- uratively and liceraily when it -reed on Ambassador Fletcher. Still in the iong run, lack of experience in organization politics may ba an asset.

political generals of first rank have been developed once or twice out of just such a disrupted situa- WASHINGTON, June 20 73rd Congress found the battle against the depression expensive, though cheaper than the war against Germany 16 years ago. While it established a peacetime record for appropriations ana obligations, experts said the total fell far short of the $36,000,000,000 outlay authorized by the wartime Congress. A striking feature is the lack of unanimity about the statistics. Some mentioned $6,800,000,000, others as high as for the regular session just closed. The bigger figures were obtained by reckoning potential expenditures and all the money the government would be liable to pay years, 1934 and 1935, will run ap- worth of home and farm loan for instance.

There was every indication the figures would be an issue in the coming campaign. Representative Taber of New York, ranking Republican on the appropriations committee, set appropriations ana obligations incurred during tae special and regular sessions ai $21,864,242,726. "It is a record of extravagance and disregard of any sense of responsibility to the taxpayers ot the United States- beyond the wildest dreams," he said. "The federal deficit for those two fiscal years, 1934 4and 1935, will run approximately 516,000,000,000." During the 1918-19 Congress, $12,800,000,000 was appropriatea for the army and many other billions were loaned to foreign governments. Bishop Cantweli Congress Will Act Unless Cleaner Films Are Made KANSAS CITY, June 20 JP-Bishop John J.

Cantweli, Los Angeles official observer of the League of Decency, Catholic organization seeking a reform in motion pictures, predicted here today that the next Congress will enact rigid legislation to control the movie industry if cleaner pictures are not produced. "The condition of the screen," said, "has become so filthy that it must be corrected both for children and adults. The producers are sensitive only at one place --the box office. Therefore, a boycott is the weapon to be used against them." He asserted, however, if a boycott which many Catholic and Protestant churchmen have urged fails to produce reform, federal legislation will be" necessary. Bishop Cantweli stopped here on his way to Washington to attend a meeting of the league, of which Archbishop John T.

Mc-, Nicholas, of Cincinnati, is chair- man. Conditions as league members now find them trill be dis-. cussed, the league observer said, but final policies and recommendations will not be made until a meeting hi November. "Not only must there be reform," he said, "but there must be some machinery the public is assured that this reform will be permanent. The Will Hays organization has not succeeded in carrying out its code because it has been given no power.

I believe the motion picture industry can solve its problems by handing over strong powers to a board composed of three outstanding citizens." Catholics, he said, would expect one member on such a board. The other two places might be assigned to a Protestant and a Jew, he said. The Catholic member, he believes, 'should not be a clergyman but a layman because the latter "would be less apt to spoil the fun." Such a board, he said, should come to an agreement relative to certain general terms of morality. Concerning these it should have full powers. Violators of its orders would be in danger of boycott or other penalties which a perfection of the system might devise.
