The Wlisperiings
OF Hope
Bv MRS. WALTER GROCE
ooh, what is SO rare as da

"Oh, what is so rare as a day
in June!
Then, if ever, come perfect
days.
Then heaven tries the earth if it
be in tune,
And Ger it softly her warm
ear lays,
And whether we look, or whether
we listen
We hear life murmur, or sec
it glisten.
Every clod feels a stir Of might,
An instinct within it that
reaches and towers,
And cropping blindly around it
for light,
Climbs to a soul in tree or
flowers"
Speaking about rare days and
flowers, did you ever see a land
where there are so many rare
days, not only in June but
throughout the whole ear? One
of our most rare days came in
February with the thermometer
almost down to zero, the grounds
covered with ice, long icicles
hanging as fringe around the
caves of the houses, a perfectly
cloudless sky over head, and a
brilliant sun causing every ice
encased twig and blade. of grass
to sparkle with light, and scintil-
late colors like sea of Jewels.
By gazing out of your window
you could catch faint idea of
what the "Land of the Blessed"
will look like, with its streets OF
gold. its walls of jasper, and It's
gates Of pearls.
Please memorize the above
verse of poetry, then repeat it
every day as You work around
in your flower garden this
spring. Watch the little clods
of earth as they feel that stir of
might, and see the tiny shoots
that push up "blindly cropping"
for light so as to climb to a
soul in tree or flower. Find
poetry in your flowers and find

present. When the plants are
large enough set them out doors
in partial shade, and keep damp,
then in the fall put in pots in
doors and there you have q
Christmas present ready to pass
along to some one else. This
could be your reciprocity plant;
Now some day when your soul
and mind needs refreshing get
in your car and drive slowly out
that Mills River road and look
over those lovely valleys sur

the farmers till the soil. You
see no haphazard breaking up
of land, nor do you hear any
scolding at horses. Every fur
row is laid off straight, and
every task for that days work
very symmetrical. T he plow
with it's well guided hand even

good earth-that is cherished by
its owner. No wonder Millat
chose a sweet, peaceful setting
like this as a subject for some
of his most famous pictures.

THOUGHTS OF

Harry Byrd has at last reach

Senator Byrd's career, has been
that he made his private for

Human Progress.

The people would be remiss If they did
not support that. Employers would be
wrong If they did not recognize that.
1T is our belief that either through
codes or agreements we enter this drive
with between 10 per cent and 80 per
cent Of employers in trade and industry
already under the Blue Eagle. We must
get 100 per GERS under the Blue Eagle,
and we cannot afford to fail.
Must Understand Task.
Tomorrow morning the greatest
corps of volunteers in the country's his
tory Is going forth under the N. r. A.
banner to accomplish this result. It Is
ers know precisely what to do and that
they register in their hearts solemn
determination to do that and nothing
more nor less. They must understand
their task.
why are there any employers not
under the Blue Eagle? This admins
tration has looked into thousands of
cases. 1t has found not one in which
the reason was unwillingneSs
The big trouble is lack Of informa-
ton. You must explain what the Pres
ident's program means. We have tried
to equip you to do this and it is your
task-patiently and courteously to carry
out that duty
"A second obstacle is the fear of hon.
est patriotic men that they cannot do
what the President asks and remain
in business. What they do not under
stand is that by getting certificate
from his local Chamber of Commerce
or Merchants Association that he can
not comply, any man is entitled to get
and display a provisional Blue Eagle
while an investigation is made by the
National Recovery Administration that
should be explained, so that nobody in
the country is in the dark about it.
Boycott Would Spoil ALL
There has been a great deal Of loose
talk about boycott, intimidation and
violence-I want to say to you In all
earnestness and solemnity that if there
is even shadow of such a thing it
would spoil this whole endeavor.
"a boycott is a banding together Of
people to cut seller of from his trade.

use such means. I beseech you to fol-
low these rules.
But there must not be the slightest
misunderstanding. The watchword Of
this great cooperation Is "buy under
the Blue Eagle" It Is not q boycott
for the people Of a distressed country
to say they are going to stick to those
who do their part to cure q common
evil and to ignore those who refuse to
DO SO. To do otherwise would be to
Illustrate the national purpose-not to
mention its lack of plain, every day
horse sense and fair play.
YOU would be less than frank and
courageous and honest If you did not
explain this simple fact. The Gov
ernment itself has acted to center its
buying on Blue Eagle supplies of both
goods and service. The whole people
SHOULD follow that lead.
People Must Be Honest
1.-THE third obstacle we have found Il
q fear that competitors will use the
Blue Eagle and cheat behind its wings
that there will be no real protection
OF course, the Government cannot per-
init this-people who fly the Blue Eagle
must be honest with him-and it is our
duty to see to this.
1T is quite true that in these first
days of this great change there has
been some failure to perform. Ninety
per cent Of this also comes from mis-
understanding of what is required. Our
next job Is to clear that up
For about two weeks we shall con-
fne all action to an intense effort to
see that the obligations of the Blue
Eagle are understood by every man who
flies one.
In the meantime we shall collect
evidence in the few important reported
cases Of big and thoroughly informed
employers who seem knowingly and
wilfully to have taken on this obliga-
ton with a deliberate intention of vio-
1ating 1t to mislead and defraud their
employees and their customers.
The opening gun Of the enforcement
campaign will be a painstaking, fair.

proper means to protect the public and
their competitors against such de-

eliminate these abuses everywhere.
But We shall 60 the whole distance

PROBLEM RELIEVED
Third of Names on JuIy's Re-

Pay Rolls, Survey Shows.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 28.-One-third OF
the names on last March's unemploy-
ment relief rolls are on August's pay
rolls, a Nationwide survey indicated
today.
Approximately 100000 families have
been removed from State and Federal
charity lists by the mounting tide OF
employment, reports from every section
Of the country showed.
And while nearly 100000 families
still were accepting aid last month, the
number had been lessening monthly as
men went back to work and Summer
weather made subsistence easier.
Closely calculated reports from "a
States showed that 1,223,000 families
have placed themselves OH self-support-
ing bases since March, the month of
greatest general unemployment.
There we're no detailed reports from
Washington, Montana, California, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Vermont,
Connecticut, Georgia, Maine, Nevada,
South Dakota, West Virginia, New York
and Maryland.
Mississippi Improved.
Mississippi improved its relief picture
50 per cent since March, when $4,000
Arkansas reduced its number Of de-
pendent families from $4,000 in March
to $4,000 this month, Virginia from half
q million persons to 100000, although
expecting that last weeks storm would
increase its burden markedly, and North
Carolina IS per cent of its population IN
March to only 10 per cent dependent In
July.
South Carolina halved its relief bur-
den since March, from 175,3 families
to 84418, plus transients. Tennessee
cut its burden about 60 per cent. Colo
RADIO and Idaho had half as many fam
lilies drawing rationS, while Rhode
Island did almost as well.
There were a few dark spots on the
unemployment map. Nebraska's cur
rent 10000 dependents were said to be
the largest number the State has cared
for at one time. The State refused
Federal aid until this Summer. Corn
husking and highway construction jobs
were expected to improve the situation
shortly.
Oklahoma. New Mexico and Florida
have noticed slight improvement, while
Louisiana's burden has been increasing
due to floods over cotton lands.
Fair Brings Problem.
Illinois, where employment has In
creased only about one-flfth since
March, has furnished in the World S
Fair a vast problem regarding tran
sients. charity officials say. The fair
has brought many indigents and the
number Is expected to increase next
Fall. Meanwhile 25S000 Illinois fam
lies are On relief rolls.
