GREENFIELD, Ind, September II -
This quiet Hoosier hamlet has set ou

James Whitcomb Riley, itinerant
painter-poet.
Organizing themselves as the Riley
Old Home Society, residents of Green
field have induced the Town Council
to purchase the green-shuttered, white
frame house on United States highway
40 where the Indiana poet lived until
he was 20.
Greenfleld's old-timers disagree
about the exact site of the birth of the
poet who glorified homely Hoosier vir-
tues, but agree that he came into the
world in log cabin that later became
a Summer kitchen at the rear of his
boyhood home. Just how far away
the cabin originally stood is not GER
tain.
Apple Tree There Yet.
DR.. Carleton M. McCulloch of In
dianapolis, who for 10 years was Ri
ley's doctor and confidant, said today
that the poet, whose "Ole Swimmin'
Hole" is familiar to any boy who ever
went in raw" was born on the site
where the home now stands.
Blown glass" windows, back yard
bright with hollyhocks in Summer,
and an old apple tree mark the Riley
home. The Riley society plans to in
close the back yard with white picket
fence
Inside the front door is an unsup-
ported circular staircase built by the
poets father, Ruben A. Riley, a Civil
War captain, skilled cabinet maker
and Greenfield lawyer Beneath it
is the cubbyhole and clothes closet so
graphically described by Riley's IA
vorite heroine. Little Orphan Annie. /"

closet "gobble-uns" lived and would

placed in the home.
In the town square stands q half

Water Painting There.
On the front room wall of the
home hangs an oil painting from VIII

OF Riley's books, called the work
"Neighbors. 1t shows the poets

Subversiye movements thrive in our democracy

camps in the country scattered from the Atlantic
to the Pacific with thousands of men secretly tram

both foreign and local funds, claimed to have
many persons in key places in our social order
The other group the Communists, is said to be

smaller in numbers. It's members are to be found
principally in labor ranks.

The training of Red Seamen is claimed to be

they can close down hundred other industrial

About 100 or so miles south of the American
Communist camp there is Camp Nordland, near

went after the spiritual diseases
of the present, and particularly
in his own church. He was a high
ly sensitive man, and the politi-
clans in effect crucified him.
They put such pressure on him
that they broke him down phySi-
cally for life. The third was as
strong spiritually as the second,
but stronger physically. He was
instrumental in removing some of
the worst politicians from church
offices; but he was so bedeviled
that after enduring four years of
it he left for another field. Should
a preacher like him succeed him,
the political ring in that church
would probably be routed.

he finds himself the pastor of a

Christian minister, he has the
clear-cut example of his Lord and
