THE HOME

The sacred name Of home is . thing
to conjnre with. Il Is synonymous
with the venerated and angelic name
Of Mother, ~
In all ages, and in all time. and
in every cline, be it civilized OF
otherwise, the Home is the most hal
lowed and cOnsecrated to the heart
and soul Of man.
The Home is the foundation Of the
state and OF the nation-aye, of our
very civilization. It is the most pro-
found and highest fundamental that
the human mind can conceive and
which the soul Of man adores with
all the enthusiasm Of his very being.
The Home is the cradle Of the hui
man race and Is endowed by the
great God Of the Universe with all
the blessings and spiritual emolu-
ments Of His magnificent divinity.
Il is the great balance wheel which
preserves the social order throughout
the world, and perpetuates the hui
man race.
The Home, from primitive society,
all through the ages to this great
day OF civilization, was where the hui
man race was nurturad and brought
forth in all its sovereign glory
through aeons Of the severest sacri-
fees, trials and tribulations. and SAN
Gifted BY the angelic patience, and
holy and noble achievements of
Mother.
It is in this consecrated spot of
ever hallowed memory where God
created and revealed the greatest of
all virtues - Mother Love = which
Is the sweetest, noblest and most
sanctified that the human mind, heart
or soul can conceive; but which can
not be fathomed nor surpassed be-
cause Of its superIative divinity.
It was from this holy spot that
men went forth to offer up their
lives for liberty and freedom.
History records no greater sacrifices
than that put forth BY mankind in
all the ages up to our day, than the
superhuman effort which was free
u made for the preservation and
elevation Of this sublime and celes-
tial sanctuary.
It Is for this great principle, the
sanctitv Of the Home. its mainten-
ance, preservation, and elevation
that are the eternal and undying fun
daments on which our great labor
movement rests.
The present organized labor move
ment 81 the world and its relative
predecessors Of the past have never
devlaled from these great spiritual
and moral pf5neiples Il is and has

KANSAS CITY, April 90. Sin.

a greater furore in church circles

Mr.. Lewis today is being scored
and lauded, respectively, by funda-
mentalists and liberals as the re-

to strike him dead is the basis of

IF God is a fundamentalist, a
God who strikes down men such as
Luther Burbank for their utter

forthwith call upon him to strike

The novelist drew out his watch
and placed it on the altar before

FARM BILL
soon IN
HOlJSE:
By FRED ]. WALKER

Congress was In the throes OF
general farm relief discussion today
IS the House Agriculture Conn
mittee got down to the task OF
determining just what legislation
would stabilize prices without
undermining the nations economic
structure.
Behind closed doors the commit
tee began to .'polish up" the
Tincher bill under which a $780,
000, 900 revolving fund would be
used TO bolster the value Of farm
products at such times as over
production might depress prices.
Parties Are Divided
Although approval by the com.
mittee of the basic principles Of he
Tincher bill was generally regard
ed as a foregone conclusion, the
House was in ferment of specula-
ton over what sort OF legislation
would be finally sent over to the
Senate
Republicans themselves were
sharply divided over the proposal
by Representative Dickinson R.l
OF Iowa for an equalization zee
levied on the farmer, to meet the
cost Of sterilization. Dickinson
claimed to have sufficient support
to include such an amendment in
the Tincher bill, when it reaches
the floor
THE Tincher bill is very loose, -
said Representative Kincheloe 3D.
OF Kentucky, ranking Democrat on
the committee. ''It does not give
relief to farmers who do not be-
long to cooperative organizations
and there are a lot of unattached
farmers"
my bill viii be reported to the
House by Thursday at the latest"
said Tincher. And it won't have
an equalization fee either. The
farmers don't want the Govern
ment dipping into their pockets"
An elastic program" has been
drawn up SO that agricultural relief
can be considered by the House
as soon as the committee reports a
bill, according to Representative
Tilson, Connecticut, Republican floor
leader.
Democratic leaders declared today
they were glad to see the majority
party making an effort at last to
help the farmer.
I'VE are not going to make a
party fight on the bill reported by
the committee" said one leading
Democrat. I'VE are going TO 90 our
best to enact constructive legisla-
ton
