A FEAST FCZt THE GODS
Do ycu relish corn fritters with
ryrup on.
That jun melt in your mouth at
a bite?
That aro fried to a turn in a
rich nutty brown
Well, we'd some at our house
th'other night.
We kept the maid busy chasin
out to the cook
And bringin more "eats" to
the plate;
It sure was a sight, and what
trips it took
To keep the supply up to date.
Of course we had coffee, and
peaches and cream,
And the trimmin's that go with
a meal;
But the taste of them fritters
was a lingerin dream
Of the Paradise visions re
veal. The company, too. seemed most
awfully pleased
Never once did they "pass up
a bet";
But at last, all "fed up," the
feasting ceased
'Ccptin' Dad, who was eating
yet.
Then Ma reached around, and
she shook Dad loose.
And paid in a voice sharp and
keen:
"You stop eating right now, you
great big greedy goose
You've already swallered nine

President Acts
to Fortify His,
Recovery Plan
Extends Blanket Compact for An
other Four Months and Links
Up KRA Divisions.
Washington. President Roosevelt
sought to fortify his economic recov
ery machinery against any let downs
with two moves extension of his
blanket re-employment agreement
and concentration of the many facet
ed units of the national recovery
agencies.
The extension for another four
months of the re-employment agree
ment was designed to corer wtih the
temporary codes the estimated 30 per
cent of industries which have yet to
conic in under the NRA permanent
setup. Mr. Roosevelt said that inj
the midst of winter and with many
persons out of work it is essential
that the new year should not bring
with it any let down in the recovery
pio,7ram in tire trades and industries."
He also definitely established a
policy of tying together under the
direction of a single leader, Frank C.
Walker, the whole recovery machin
ery, including the NRA, the several
farm rehabilitation agncies and the
home loan corporations.
The NRA echoed this renewed
spirit by disciplining fcr the first
time an employer charged with vio
lating the collective bargaining guar
antee of the industrial law. The re
covery administration announced it
had withdrawn its blue eagle emblem
from the J. J. Martin company, Rox
bury, Mass., furniture movers. The
administration said the company had
publicly asserted "No union or union
men would be tolerated in the busi
ness." The blanket code or agreement
was originally drawn up by the pres
ident to serve for industries until
they had agreed on and signed with
the government permanent codes of
fair competition and labor practices.
More than 160 such codes have been
anDroved by Mr. Roosevelt to date
and he indicated he expected the re
maining codes would come into ex
istence before the four months re
newal for the blanket agreement had
expired.
The NRA instituted, shortly after
it began functioning last summer, a
national-wide census of employers
seeking information to show the in
crease directly attributable to the
national industrial recovery program
This cerisun, handled by the federal
census bureau, has not yet been com
pleted. With the totals of this count
yet to come, it was disclosed the gov
ernment had begun another tally of
business, to be completed Feb. 25.
The census director, W. L. Austin,
said the recent decision by the civil
works administration to hire 16,000
white collar workers, now out of jobs
to make the count would result in a
canvass of 2,400,000 American retail
crs. wholesalers and all others en
gaged in service, amusement and
similar businesses. Manufacturin
construction, transportation and
farming is excluded, these having
been included in the previously inau
gurated canvass. The survey will
coer the volume of business done in
19S3, the number of employed, the
payroll and operating expenses.
Meanwhile, some senators predict
ed that, unless the Roosevelt admin
istration took steps to quiet com
plaints from some representatives of
"little business" that the codes were
benefiting only big concerns, a flare
up would occur after congress con
venes. The administration has des
cribed as already cognizant of this
situation and working on a plan to
create a new NRA board to consider
such complaints. Some independent
republican senators, who have con
tended the small business man was
having difficulty in operating under
NRA, were said to have been tenta
tively invited to serve on the board.
EANNING GOES TO HOSPITAL
Denver. Philip W. Tete" Han
nir.g, held with Deli Hanloa and oth
ers, as a suspect in a Denver cafe
robbery, suffered an attack of blood
poisoning in hi3 right foot and leg
ar.d .-2 tak?n to Denver General hos
pital. The former convict was chain
ed to his cot there and two officers
v iil De on guard day and night, Chief
Clark taid.
Chief Clark said police were not
cvirlocking the .piility Hanning
by come means purposely caused the
infection in the hope either of being
taken to the hospital from which es
cape might be easier than the jail, or
to block his return to the peniten
tiary. Governoi JchnBon ordersd the
paroles of Hanning and.Hanlon re
voked and the men returned to the
prison. They -er arrested in Omaha.
SURPLUS RELIEF OUTXIKED
Washington. Any powers given
the surplus relief corporation in its
charter beyond the buying and dis
tribution of surplus farm crops to
the needy were said by the president
of the corporation to be designed only
for use in an emergency.
Harry L. Hopkins, corporation pres
ident, made the statement to news
papermen after publication of the full
text of the corporation's charter un
der the laws of Delaware. Set up
by the government, the corporation
was empowered in one paragraph of
the charter to use any of the powers
of the federal emergency relief ad
ministration, the farm administration
or the public works administration
that might be delegated to it. The
corporation was set up to "reliev the
existing national economic emer
gency" by removing surplus agricul
tural products from the markets and
distributing them to the needy.
Three Men Slain
During a Raid by
Chicago Police
Escaped Convicts Are Mistaken as
Iilembers cf John DnlengST
Gang, Shot Down.
Chicago. A picked police detail
searching for members of the John
Dillinger band of outlaws stormed
an apartment and Ehot to death three
men identified as escaped convicts,
but in nowise connected, however
with the Indiana outlaw gang. Those
identified were:
Lewis Katzewitz of Streator, 111.,
said by Police Detective Anderson to
have been an escaped convict from
the Illinois state penitentiary at
Joliet.
Sam Ginsburg, said Ly Anderson to
have escaped from the Michigan state
prison at Jackson.
Charles Tilden, alias Tattleman,
of Streator, 111., escaped inmate of
the Joliet penitentiary, according to
Anderson. The identifications were
made by means of fingerprints.
Twenty police officers under com
mand of Capt. John Stege charged
into an apartment in the Rogers
Park district on Chicago's north side
and the three men were slain in a
savage pistol and machine gun bat
tle. None of the police was injured.
The raid was made on information
that Dillinger and two of his aides,
Harry Pierpont and John Makely
were making their headquarters
there. So sure were the cCicer3 that
their Quarry wee nimbers cf the wide
ly sought Dillinger band that two of
the slain men were first identified
by police as Dillinger and Pierpont.
Two hours later, after the bodies
had been removed, and a routine Ber
tillon examination was made, the true
identities were revealed.
Tilden and Katzewitz, according
to Sheriff E. J. Welter of La Salle
county, Illinois, were wanted in con
nection with a bank robbery in Strea
tor two years ago. The pair was ar
rested once in Minneapolis and re
turned to Streator, but made an es
cape in a bold delivery.
One thousand rounds of ammuni
tion, several machine guns, shotguns
and pistols were found in the apart
ment by Stege and his raiders. The
person who supplied the information
that the Dillinger mob would te
found in the hideout also informed po
lice, Stege said, that another member
of the band with a woman compan
ion wa3 attending a nearby theater.
Special police squads were rushed to
the amusement place and scrutinized
patrons, but found no trace cf the
fugitive.
SEABURY SAYS DISGUSTING
New York Samuel Seabury, whose
prosecution of the "tin box" inquiry
illumined the closing days of the ad
ministration of Mayor Walker, re
turned from Europe and declared the
recent Paris meeting between Post
master General Farley and Walker
was "a disgusting spectacle." Sea
bury flatly refused to say anything
about the New York state republican
party troubles, whfch came to a cli
max when State Chairman Kingsland
Macy raid he would ask Seabury to
conduct an investigation of alleged
public utility influences over the state
assembly.
Seabury was curt and indignant
over the Walker-Farley meeting. "It
was not an edifying thing," he Eaid,
to see the postmaster general, a
member of the cabinet of the presi
dent of the United States, make a
pilgrimage to Mr. Walker and to hear
that he had eulogized Walker in a
Paris speech. Take this as you like it.
I think it was a disgusting spectacle."
If you spend your money in dis
tant cities op with mail order
houses, you will retard the return
of prosperity to Cass county.
