BLESSED is THE MAN WHO
HUNGERSl
BY George Matthew Adams


When we think of hungry people,
stomachs are getting anxious.
But, 1t Is possible for one to starve
with a full meal on it's digesting way.
Soul and Spirit hunger are able to
stop the stoutest heart from pumping.
The world is always full of human
wanting that which is not bread
folks who are starving for love, for
appreciation, for companionship, for
conversation, for understanding, for
beautiful things, for the touch that
warns the heart and spurs the tired
and restless spirit.
Blessed is the man who hungers.
For only as one hungers after these
things which he most desires. is he
able to find any measure Of relief
and satisfaction.
Who is there among us that as a
child would have had his fill Of all the
candy for which he hungered? Was not
the fulfillment but promise OF the
day when we should no longer hun
ger for that child desire?
And so it shall be with US all who
hunger-on and on.
Who is there who would have all
his desires fulfilled? What great man
has not at some time or other gone
sorely hungry in body?
In loneliness shall some of us al.
ways hunger. But blessed are they
that hunger and thirst after right
eousness-for they shall be filled

icity surrounding the issuing of stock also
weakened the law. What blue sky promoters
dread more than anything else is publicity of
their methods. The publicity required by the
eliminated section would have given the invest
ing public precisely the data that would have
enabled it to decide if the stock offering was
bona fide intended primarily to enrich the
men who were promoting its SALE
Investors, therefore, should remember that
the presence Of blue sky law in Indiana does
not of necessity mean that stock offerings have
been examined by the state authorities and are
intrinsically worthy of purchase. The law will
require overhauling by the next legislature to
make it an effective barrier to the dishonest pro-
motors against whom it was primarily directed.
Blue sky legislation in Indiana has had a
rocky course. Efforts to enact bill have been
successfully blocked for many years. When the
speci al session finally passed a measure the
people of Indiana believed that stop had been
put to the financial raids which stock pirates
have made on unwise people. The disclosure
that the law is almost worthless preventive
against stock sale promoters was surprise
Investors, if they want to keep their money,
must scrutinize offerings as carefully, if not
more so, than they did before the law was added
to the statutes.

The Blue Sky Law

Investors who are approached by stock brok-
ers should keep in mind that the blue sky law
passed by the special session of the legislature is
not protection against the raids of promoters
on the savings of Indiana citizens.
Close study of the law as finally enacted by
the legislature has convinced supporters Of blue
sky legislation that the measure leaves many
openings by which the dishonest stock statesmen
may operate in Indiana.
BY striking out the words principal or
agent" and making the law apply only to the
'issuer," the legislature so G. F. Olwin, manager
Of the Better Business Bureau of Indianapolis
says, the state has been left a green pasture for
shrewd promoters of stock selling schemes.

that what the corn at Reidston needs
is a good wetting down and that the
dust has scarcely been laid over his
way in three weeks.
On the other hand Richmond was
absolutely dry for several days; not a
sign of rain. On calling Economy the

rains in the northern part of Wayne
