A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool.—Proverbs 17:10. No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes—Gladstone. WWM ) | CATTON'S COMMENT | BY BRUCE CATTQON By-product of the recent confeérence under Henry Ford’s wing at Deaborn, Michigan, betweeén farm ing and industry, comes a “Deglaration of Depend ence on the Soil and of the Right of Self-Mainten ance.” This is an illuminated scroll, elaborate in form, and paraphrased from the Declaration of Independ ence. It restates the principle that all man’s basic sustenance comes from the soil, to which he must’ return again to regain self-maintenance, or indeed, self-government. And it restates also the familiar Ford thesis that chemistry and industry must 10-I gether discover ways of using more farm psoducts (i.e., corn into motor fuel, and soy beans into steer ing wheels). i ' All agricultural experts agree that it will be a jong time before industry will be able directly to absorb enough farm products to make a dent in the surpluses that have been an increasing menace since the foreign market began to disappear, The “declaration” itself implies this when it says “it is a plan which must develop in persistent and or derly fashion over a span of years. Therein lies itsl strength.” It may be five, ten, twenty, years, before chem istry has taught industry how to use enough farm products to make up to the farmer his lost markets abroad. J Which is just why there is no real conflict be-! tween ‘the Ford “Chemurgic” movement and the government’s AAA program. The AAA recognizes that # is am emergency affair, reducing surpluses temporarily to protect the grower from a fali to starvation prices. If and when Ford’s “Chemurgists” devise means of usifg st quantities of fargi products in direct sale to industry, then AAA should, according to its} theory, be the first to cheer and remove such acre age restrictions as still remains. | A beginning already has been made, The acre age Of soy beans in Michiagn, Ohio, and Indiana, .has FroWn} amazingly during the past few 'vears. wAnd ' you c}hfi'l get ‘awdy from this: every acre de “voted to soy beans in those states is just one less ~fgq devoted to wheat, corn, and cotton, of which _-therd is too much. Well, let's not argue about that; retet's say, of which there is more than can be sold ~at a reasonable price. 4 These acreages, and the ones going into tung Ztrees in Louisiana, are smal &y yet. They make no :_fim in agricultural surpluses. But they may, some c-day. 4« dThe Dearborn Declaration of Dependence prob ::t- y never wil' rank with that other Declaration of . Independence signed so long ago at Philadelphia. Ut it may be highly important as the years pass “@nd the farmer, as well as other classes of people, faces the changes of the future: NRA officially is gone, yet business indices fail to show any boom in industrial production, or any ‘slimp. . For_months the cry against ‘“regimentation” of ) mfi-a went up, its volume increasing. 'L;?{%:nfi the Supreme court has lifted that “regimen tation:” Some. at least, of the business fears of the community have been dissipated. iy Close watch should be kept on business activity, employment, prices, for the next few months. Price cutting has not yet increased sales volume 'enough to create more jobs in manufacturing. Commodity prices failed to drop as much as was feared. But these few months are the opportunity of those who have cried for ‘“less interference.” On the business activity, pfice, wage, and employment| charts for the next few months will be written a reccr@ of what business can do unhampered by NRA. And en that record may depend much of the future policy of government in business. One of the most hopeful signs of recent months is the word that college graduates are having less trouble getting jobs this spring than for several years. s Almost every college reports more jobs available for graduates, and several have actually had more , requests than they had graduates. ~ Any man who wants work and can’t get it is a walking tragedy. But there has been an added touch of tragedy during the past five years in the ambi tious, youths who sacrificed and worked, whose par ents sacrificed and worked, to put them through college, especially preparing them to work—only to find that there was no work. The waste of this pro cedure has been too awful to contemplate. Now the reports on this June's graduates seem to indicate that at last we are coming to our senses, eliminating this waste, and offering hope to the most highly trained, mest ambitious of our young men and women. Also, somebody had the .jobs to offer. And that's hopeful. too. Attorney General Homer S. Cummings says that government may be obliged presently to prose te business concerns which continue price fixing der unofficial codes of fair competition. % This seems to bring us up againsy one of the Quecrest and dizziest headaches that has afflicted Wasbington and the business community in some time. It ilO!;‘_AV a fortl.\ibght or so_since, the attorney ~M‘“_ en were busily proceeding against men fl%’flofitefl the price fixing codes. gNow. by a ~ Simple twist of the wrist, they are to reverse tieir ~_fielé and ’iu‘rttaction against men for doing what 2. ~m was trying to compel th o E‘ wo or three weeks ago! e be hard to think of a queerer twist in oek ‘;.g’fc.'." Py T e - BUILDING ON A BOOM Building in the southern states has shown a remarkable growth during the first part of this year. During the month lof April, engineering and construction work amounted to $33,000,000, bringing Ithe total of new construction in the first | four months of 1935 to $143,000,000. The April awards showed a gain of over $4,- 000,000 compared with March. Of course some of this increase was brought about by | greater activity in private building. ’ Increase in residential building is quite noticeable. In April the aggregate amount ed to $2,882,000 compared with the March total of $2,332,000 bringing the tota]l for the four months up to $10,951,000. No new projects costing” less than SIO,OOO were included in the figurds set up in the above estimate. ' There has been more home building in the south during this year than any other section of the country. Our people appear to have awakened to the importance of owning their homes and through the vari ous agencies for building homes, the peo p]f? otf the south have shown a marked in terest. 'WASHINGTON MECCA FOR BUSINESS ‘ Never in the history of Washington has ‘there been an influx of people equal to the ‘trek experienced during the present year. 'The session of congress has had something to do with the increased number of visi tors, of course, but many other attractions have contributed largely to the prosperity of the seat of the government, The Shriners convention carried several thousand people to that city, all of whom were liberal spenders. The hotels, cases, restaurants and boarding houses have enjoyed an unusually large patron age. Last year, it is estimated there were 2,400,000 vigitors and tourists in the city. This was considered the largest number of visitors entertained in that city at any time during its history, but this year the Smith sonian Institution estimates that the num ber of visitors will easily reach 3,000,000 and possibly exceed that mark. ' , ' The bank clearings show a large in crease and the retail trade has broke all records. However, the change in condi tions are not confined to Washington, but in many other sections of the country, im provement ig noted. In fact, the period of depression has about spent its course and an early return of prosperity' may be ex pected. HANGING OR ELECTROCUTION ; FOR WOMEN Quite recently several women have paid the toll of their c¢rimes either by hinging or electrocution. In Delaware a woman was hanged last week; another women is to be electrocuted on June 27, in New York, unless the governor of that state in tervenes; in California another woman has been sentenced to death penalty, but her sentence is being held up pending an ap peal to the governor. While it is a horri ble thing for a woman to be hanged or electrocuted, yet times and customs have changed in some of the states, and the ‘death of a woman for a crime committed is not uncommon, ~ We do not recall any incident of a ‘woman having been hung in Georgia. Some have committed murder, it is true, but usu lally life sentences or lesser terms of servi tude are imposed. However, women are en tering into crime of all kinds, murder, rob ring, holding up people and even burglary. Such criminals should be suppressed and dealt with in a firm manner, but death penalties by electrocution should be avoid ed for women. . However, the day is not far distant, we believe, when women will be placed on the same footing with the men and when they commit crime, tried and convicted on the charges, the juries and the courts will deal with them on the same basis as they do in the cdses of men. ; CAMPING SEASON IS HERE : At this season of the year, the roadsides and the forests are popular resorts for campers. More so than ever since the au tomobile has come into general use. A generation ago, camping was occasional, and only in cases of necessity where sick ness or business demanded travel. But now camping is the most popular mode of entertainment for the vacation; period. People load up their ears and pre pare for eating and sleeping in the great open where fresh air and water are plen tiful. One of the great drawbacks to camp life is the destruction of the forest caused from tarelessness on the part of campers.‘ Fires are allowed to remain over day, and, too often, the fire spreads to the forest andl thousands of dollars worth of timberland are destroyed. : : | There is scarcely a week tHat passes, but that campers in some sections of the statel find themselves responsible for wild fires.l The damage in such cases usually runs into figures of large proportions, yet our people appear to forget or to care for the losses under such circumstances. If yo? expect to spend your vacation on a ¢amping tour, bear in mind the importance and the ne cessity for proteeting the forests from fires of a damaging character. The king of Normandy big-eaters, Charles Vienot, consumed 2 1-2 pounds of fish, 2 1-2 pounds of chicken, 2 1-2 pounds of mutton, white beans, a whole cheess, 29 assorted * pieces of cheese, six apple tarts, two bottles Alsatian wine, two bot tles Burgundy, and four quarts of apple cider, to win the title. Vienot weighs 326 pounds.

Katharine's father is rich and her stepmother a snob. Zoe Parker, Katharine's friend has an unhappy love affair_and is saved from suicide by young Dr. John Kaye. ] Overheafing two detectives ask for Michael's address, Kath arine rushes to warn him, al though she has not seen him since his engagement to Sally Moon, local coquette, has been announced. g Michael refuses to go away unless Katharine comes with him, They are married in an obscure little town. Then Migh ael insists on returning to face the detectives. He learns he is heir to a fortune and title in Ireland. Milchael leaves at once for New York to see the lawyer handling the case. He is in jured in'a traffic accident. Katharine, frantic when she does not hear from him next day, tells Viclst Meiser, her friend, that she thinks Michael has run away. ? NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIX Sally said furiously, “I don’t un deyrstand it. I simply don't get it at all!” She glared at the inoffen sive Tips and at Clarence, stooped and graying, in the background. “You say he said he was going to the city?” Sally demanded. Clarence nodded. They had been over the ground several times be fore, but if the young lady wanted to ask the same questions over and over he had no choice but to answer them, “He say he goin’ to the cecity,” Clarence elaborated, with a side long roll of chocolate eyes in a dark face. “He say fo' me to lock up.” “And that was day before yester day?” “Yes'm. In the evenin’ We ain’t heard nothing from him since.” Sally waved an afternooh news paper in his eyes. “Have you seen this?” “No'm. Ain't seen nothin’’ Clar ences eyes executed a sudden roll of apprehension. “They aint nothin’ in it ’bout Mist’ Michael, is they?" Sally laughed — an unpleasant laugh, drawing back the corners of her lips irom small predatory teeth. “Read it” : % i Tips bent over. "Pa can’t read,” he said. “Lessen he has & magni fying g]a% His eyes is bad.” “What it say?” Clarence wante ed to know. ; Tips-bent over the newspaper, reading slowly. “It says how Mister Michael is a lord or something,” he said slowly. “It says how his daddy was-.a son of a lord in England er Irelxa——(md now Mister Michael, seems he comes into the business.” “BExactly.” Sally Moon, with a sound that was more like a snort than the sarcastic laugh she had intended, slipped down into the shabby porch chatr. Over her link ed, gloved hands she regarded the two shabby men, : “l 1 believe you two know more about this than you pretend to,” she said on a note of angry sus picion. “T believe you perfectly well know where Michael is” “Ne'm.” Clarehce shook his head. : “Well, I'm going to. find out,” Sally’ said swiffly. Before either one of them could stop her she had flung herself inside the door of | Michael's house, ‘l'm going to search his papers,” she said, “And 7Ry /TN Y {1 » , O | 4 { AT VI don't either of you interfere!” She was ingide the room which had ' served Michael as a bedroom before either one could say a word. Tips looked at his father, and the older man looked back apprehen sively. “She aint got a bit o’ business in there,”’ the .boy said humbly. *How we goin’ to stop her?" Clarence wanted to know, Sally went through bureau draw ers like a whirlwind. The neat, plain; bare chamber did not afford many hiding places. A bed, tidily made up with a manded white spread a common oak chest of drawers, a wardrobe with one of the old-fash ioned doors swinging wide — she went through them all There was little enough. There wak pitifully little. A ‘handful of old letters with the postmark of a little town in a western state. A thick, clumsy old gold watch. A button box, Sally riffled through the letters. The stable boy came to the door to stare at her. “You go away, Tips,” she said i T - i PR BOR eO ‘ 5 ” s ""‘-"'""’_"'" : - L ' e g Gameimitamge e : . ob‘\ ko § ;i :25157'.,:151.1"";EL. o PR:: o B L S % 3 s Samecco ) N R g TR RSB SSO MM lOSleow ) Acs 4 -':::v:v:-‘-.. 3 P W ~:»::).“ oi 1 e L oo I‘%W é" 35 : - L \%; i e N ». . ius : ;_:I 3 .

But he dared not interfere. After all, she was the girl his employver had been engaged to marry, Clarence had shuffled out into the kitchen. You could hear him rat tling pots and pans and setting i down the cgups with angry gusto. | Sally paid no attention to all this. She had come with a determina tion to go through Michael’s belong ings, to see if she could find any clue to his disappearance. She Iflounced into the living room after a busy five minutes, a small bundle lin her hand. Tips watched her go, open mouthed. His father came out of the kitchen to ask him, “That her car goin’ away?”’ “That is,” Tips sniffed, going into Micheal's room and picking up a cushion Sally had dropped-*in her haste. “She sure made a mess of this here place. She sure is a big talking young lady, #iss Moon.” “Her!” Clarence uttered contem ptuously. “Ain’t mo Moons ever going’ to come high-tonin’ me. 1 know ‘'em.” “She taken away a lot of stuff of Mist’ Michael's,” Tips offered hesitantly. ‘“Letters snad such.” . Clarence grinned, an old man’s wide, sly grin, His lips were stretched incongruously wide, “She did, huh?” “Yes, suh!” The stable boy was emphatic. “Looks like Mijist Mich agl run away from her while the runnin’ was good. What you think about it?” ¢ i His father lifted his shoulders in an eloquent shrug. “Boy, I ain't mindin’ nobody’s business.” “You think we better stay on a while?' Tips said, “Where'd we go, anyways? Clarence demanded. “You talk crazy, sonny-boy. Course we'ra stayin’, And, case that girl comes back her lookin' some more, we goin’s to lock up this here place.” He turned the kéy in the lock and went back to his leisurely put tering among the Kkettles, Tips wandered out into the stableyard, fed the horses and idly swept up some scattered hay, In the Kkitch en, behind the red checked curtainsg an old man took out an official looking paper and chuckled over it. ‘“‘Here’s somethin’ that big-talk in’ young lady ain’t goin' to find,” Clarence said to himself. “Cause I got it first. An’ it's Mist’ Michael's private business.” ' It was the marriage certificate of [ Michael Heatheroe and Katharine I Strykhurst, 1 ! Sally rushed to hér room and | opened the letters she had ‘found in Michael’'s bureau. They were not very interesting letters. There were several notes from the bank about the mortgage. There was a bill of sale of a mare. There were one or two brief and badly written, | personal letters from a man in | Montana—a man who signed him- Ise]f quite simply “Bill,” Nothing incriminating, nothing to point the way Michael had gone. BSally stood staring at the letters in bafflement and anger. Her tem perament = demanded that she ex pend energy on someone. So she dressed herself in plain dark silk and boarded a train for the city. The clipping about Michael's in heritance lay in the smart dark blue handbag, She went straight to Mr. Down rigg’s hotel and that gentleman came down to the foyer to meet her. He was a lean, elderly Englishman with a stoop and a courteous, tired voice. No, he hadn’t had any com munication from Mr. Heatheroe as vet, And that was odd because Messrs. Malley and Gerhardt had assured him Michael was easily to be found. All his telephone calls on the day before had been fruit less. Mr, Heatheroe, the servants said, was away and it was not known when he ould return. “Something’s happened then,” Sally announced firmly. “Some thing happened to Michael the night he cameé” into New York.” She saw it all now. She had been stupid to be so frightened and an gry. Of course Michael had been hurt. He had no reason on earth to run away on the eve of this triumph, Her manner softened perceptib ly. She had met Mr. Downrigg with an air of challenge, thinking he knew something about the absent Michael, thinking, perhaps, he had aided and abetted him in his es cape. “You must help me,” she said, her voice taking on its ceoing note, “We must search the hostipals—the morgues—" “My dear young woman!” shud dered Mr. Downrigg. “Surely you don’t think—" She was firm, but to show him how deeply she was affected by the thought of Michael injured or dead she wept a little, quite prettily and convincingly. “We must,” she said. “We dare not do otherwise.
