SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Old Story.

Old Story.
When Sindbad the sailor went swing
ing along
AS happy as happy could be,
Enjoying the sunshine and singing a
song,
He met the Old Man Of the Sea.
Now Sindbad was blessed with both
vigor and wealth,
And was free from suspicion or
pride.
When the old man complained of the
state of his health,
Sindbad boosted him up for a rfde.
The youth of his burden grew weary
at last
The story is one you all know
The passenger wouldn't dismount, but
stuck fast
And beat him for going so slow
A man or a nation in earthly affairs
Should kindly and generous be;
Yet none should neglect, when out
borrowing cares,
To beware the Old Man of the Sea.

CHICAGO, April 19.-The wife that
Jake Hamon, slain Oklahoma oil mil
lionaire and politician, cast off at the
zenith Of his wealth and power for a
younger and prettier woman, has
come TO his defense.
Gone is the bitterness: only pity for
the man whose early struggles she
shared. and anger at his detractors re-
main.
In an exclusive interview with the
United Press. Mrs. Georgia Hamon
Rohrer said Jake was honest, and
that while he secured the nomination
of Warren G. Harding, he did not
want the office of Secretary of the
Interior.
Al Jennings, former train robber,
and CASTOR B. Means. former Depart

Senate oil investigating committee
that Hamon employed questionable

vention in 1920 are crooks" she de-
clared.
Most Of the stuff printed about
Jake Hamon are lies" Mrs. Hamon
said. HE was the most wonderful
man in the world and never did a
dishonest act in his life and it is
shame the way some newspapers in
Washington have been vtlifying him
Il am certainly going as a willing
witness to defend the honor Of dead
man.
"A lot of the charges about Jake

declared today.
The call was issued for the quar-

Several factors in the country were
cited as causes for present feeling Of
uncertainty in business and industry,
Wolcott added He said:
Politics Slows Business
This is campaign year With
it comes the usual uncertainty regard
ing the policies of the successful
party, which has a natural tendency
to slow down expansion in business
enterprises
THE general prosperity of the coun-
try is self-evident. but business is out
Of step. certain lines showing marked
activity and successful operations,
others being under depression
Credit Relief Temporary
Additional credit to Indiana farm
ers win not afford them other than
temporary relief, Wolcott believes.
Cheapened cost o. production and
marketing was urged.
No cause exists for pessimism con-
corning the business outlook he
added.
In Indiana, bank deposits show an
increase for the year of 1923 of more
than thirty-three million for State in
stitutions, with an increase in the de-
posits in building and loan associa-
tons of about twenty-seven million"
