THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN

Brother Latham says some Yam
kee SAYS that Barney Baruch was
the only big Wall street man
who had sense enough to get out
from under before the storm
broke in 1929, and so he was
not much hurt.
Where'd that Yankee get that
stuff? And does Brother Latham
really believe him? If Barney
started to sell out in time,
wasn't there anybody in all New
Yok smart enough to follow his
lead? In fact, that is Just what
they would do, if he started 1t;
so that Yankee in effect accused
Barney Of starting that slide
down on Wall street in October,
1929, which busted the bottom
out Of the L. S. a.
Barney never never done no
such thing. I've defended him
before and I can do it again.
Barney Baruch just limited his
investments to their real value
all the time. IF a stock in a
sound going concern would pay
6 per cent on a par quotation
and the company looked like il
could keep going, Barney might
buy that stock; but when some
suckers would run it up to 200
Barney would not be among the
fool buyers; he would be a sell,
er, and then he would buy some
thing else at a reasonable price
and if there wasn't any, he'C
turn his money into bonds OF
gold and sit pretty. If anybody
thinks Barney Baruch helped tc
run securities up to the sky ant
then sold out, he don't know

yyTASHINGTON.-A small piece
w Of millennium arrived when i
politician here refused a postofIicc
for his home town.
Secretary of the Interior Harold
Ickcs, boss of the $4,000, 900, 000
public works program, was looking
over a list of postoffice projects
brought in by treasury and postal
officials.
81 don't know anything about
most of these" he said, but here's
one | do know about-Winnetka
III. | happen to come from there
And one of the things that isn't
needed right away is new post
Office for Winnetka."
A GIRL secretary sat in an NRA
II office. Entered a visitor.
II don't know where my boss
is" she explained. "Thcy trans
ferred him somewhere and / can't
find him. But I figure IL I wait
here two or three days ne will be
transferred back"
That's a typical MIRA yarn. AL.
most any day several Office forces
find themselves being moved into
other Offices. Sometimes the
movers come unannounced and
Just start taking out furniture, to
eyerybody's CONSERVATION.
Some new appointees, unable to
obtain quick assignment to quar-
.ers, just dig into the nearest
empty office and defy the world to
move them out. ..r
=
DELIEF officials were shocked
~ 10 find just how many fami,
lies weie receiving unemployment
relief from public funds.

The Code
interpretations for Guidance
of Employers and Employees
By NOAH HOLLOWELL
Chairman of National Recov-
cry Executive Committee
of Hendersonville
When will the intensive drive
for NRA memberships start?
Next Monday morning.

What should be the attitude OF
prospective members in the mean
time?
Business houses should join be-
fore that time so as to show their
loyalty and patriotism. Those VINO
cannot see their way clear to join
should make investigations and
obtain any helpful information
possible.
Customers should join at once,
signing their pledge card at the
post office or obtaining cards
from merchants who are helping
to promote the movement by dis
tributing consumer eagles. Provi-
sion will be made this week for
customers to obtain these eagles.
Should business houses wait to
be seen by this committee so as
to obtain information, code inter-
pretations, etc?
No; those in doubt should see
the writer at once. The commit
tee will not be in possession of
the various codes.
