HOW I LOST MY FKIKND8 \j
.'.It's mighty hard to keep friends
friendly. I have been summarizing
a little here of late, and checking
off the friends I have lost....and it
looks like they are gone for good
.... or possibly bad.
..Jim Winks fell out with me because
I endorsed a note for'him at
the bank: 1 paid the note, but he is
still mad at me. (The money and
his friendship were both a total loss
to me.) <*
..1 sold Hurrie Strops a bill of goods
credit and he forgot to settle for
them, and now he won't speak to me.
He told my cousin, Klsie, that he
hated the very ground 1 walked on.
1 am sorry he fell out with the real
estate too.
..Artie Ghoak tried to borrow $26.00
from mo without security... .when I
didn't have $25,00-to my name....
and because 1 refused to make the
donation, he went off talking about
me and tries to make his associates
believo that 1 am an old scamp.
.. Bert Frost has been pouting at me
for 5 years. 'He lived on one of my
farms and moved awuy and took my
blacksmith shop with him. I wrote
him a nice letter and tpld him to
kindly return my things, but he sent
me word to go to a certain place,
where the weather man don't have to
predict. He still has my stuff, but
he won't as much as look at me.
..Azzic I^e (Joss got mad at me because
I asked her once if she was
related to the dosses in North Carolina.
It seems that one of the Gosscb
up there got some of his State's
money mixod up with his money
while serving as treasurer, and she
heard about. ... ami naturally she
thought I was trying to make her
akin to those terrible people. She
9 won't even speak to my Uncle Joe.
..The friend that hates me worst is
! a, .
tho ?ono who borrowed my mower and
broke it and sent it home broke. 1
asked him how he broke it and he
struck at ine twice, but I happened
to be gone. 1 didn't mean any harm:
just simply wanted to know how it
happened bo's 1 wouldn't break it
again after having it fixed at my
own expense, fie threw a rock at
my dog only last summer and almost
ran over my wife with his truck not
long ago. fie even told my preacher
that I was a hipper-crit, and folks,
the truth hurts, f'm going to do
my verry best to make up with them
after the panic.
THE WASH AT WASHINGTON
. .The average high-up politician is
just a little man with a big job,
Churn hats and swallow-tail coats
are no respectors of person.
. . Some of our "big boys" were jacklegs
in their profession, and failed
at every undertaking except in getting
votes. Others were rich enough
to buy an office.
..If times ever get better, wo must
run all of our affairs on the government
plan. If you are broke, keep
| all your help, buy a few new cars,
| build another story on-to your store,
borrow or steal some money from
your neighbor and spend it, and by
all means, spit in the face of your
best customers when they come to
trade with you, but call it "tariff
saliva."

..We have been tearing our shirt in
the past for candidates, 4mi it looks
like very few of us will have any
shirt to tear very long. If this
country is depending on politics to
help it recover, it's all over but filling
in the grave. Instead of cutting
down to dove-tail with our income
we are raising taxes, doubling taxing
and simply taxi-ing along toward
something that smells like brimstone.
social news from flat rock
. .miss deva -Clark was a dinner guess
of mr. and mrs. jay Clark one day
last week.
. .Congress wants to borrow $2,500,000,000.00
and spend it for public
buildings we don't need. These leaders
all want a new courthouse or
post office "back home" so's they can
get re-elected. That's lots of pork
for distribution,
. ..Friends, send your favorite congressman
some toys. They are doink
so many baby things that jack
stones and alphabet blocks and rubber
balls and dolls will pos'siibly appeal
to them and keep them out of
meanness besides.
... ,
.. Our members of Congress go to
work at 1<2 o'clock, noon, take an1
hour off for lunch at 2 o'clock, P. M.
Quit at 4 o'clock, P. M., and call it
a day. It costs only f25,8b0.00 per
minute to run our congress, but that
doesn't include any appropriations.
. . It will never do to cut the salaries
of public employees. Their feelings
might be hurt, bless their darling
little sweet souls. Everybody else
can go naked and starve, but Uncle
Sammie's family shall not be disturbed.
The taxpayers can get along
some way. It would be a backward
step to reduce expenses, so "they'*
say. ' $

Borah Bucks
Party Platform
Washington, June 21.?A furore of
political questioning rang out today
in the wake of Senator Borah's dramatic
announcement that President
Hoover will not have his support for
re-election if he stands on the Republican
convention's platform.
(Before a senate chamber tense in
expectation of an extraordinary pro- '
nouncement from the ldahoan, this
leading dry spokesman yesterday denounced
the prohibition resubmission
plank, rejected the entire platform as
inadequate and unresponsive to the
demands of the people, and then,
asked if he would support the president
on that jflatform, delivered his
bombshell;
"I will not."
The importance of the utterance
lay in that Borah's driving campaign
for Hoover in 1928 has been regarded
as one of the greatest individual
contributions to the president's election.
A split between the ?two has
been irt evidence for some time, magnified
by the senator's refusal to attend
the party convention when the
party trend on prohibition showed itself
running counter to Borah's dry
views. '
Yet, in the belief of -many, the
Senator's utterance yesterday bore an
unspoken iuvitation to the president
to write his own platform, with a
strong personal prohibition stand, in
the address accepting the nomination
which (Mr. Hoover is to deliver later
in the summer.
Newspapermen who sought more
explicit statements after the senate
speech, drew information that Borah
had no intention of going into a
third party movement. The idea developed
that his thought was to ignore
the presidential campaign and
limit himself to stumping for dry
members of congress.
The full fury of his nttack was
turned on the resubmission plank,
which he absolutely kicked aside, announcing
he would not be bound by
it for "a single moment." But he
was no more kind to the remainder
of the platform maintaining that
long before the election this "singular
document" will have been shoved
aside in the face of the realities of
the campaign, the persistent questioning
of the voters."
Itorah said it was evident the great
majority of the Republican convention
was for "naked repeal" of the
^ Kighteenth Amendment; that they
" voted for the adopted plank out of i
"sheer political expediency."
; He singled out Postmaster Brown
and Secretary Mills, the two "who
had most to do" with drafting the
platform, as "openly and uncompromisingly
for repeal." It was no time
before both cabinet members turned
out statements denying this. ^
Of the whole Borah speech, whose1
gist was immediately conveyed to the!
president, the White House had nothing
to say.
Borah analyzed the resubmission
plank sentence by sentence, condemning
it as a "generality" defying interpretation.
but holding that, if any-1
itlbing. it declared for repeal a fid'
jjjwould not prevent return*of the saloon.
The only other interpretation possible,
he contended, was that each
state would be free to vote itself
out from under the 18th Amendment
if it saw fit, a proposition he
characterized as "legalized secession."
I He was challenged repeatedly by
i administration senators on his inter|
pretation of the Chicago plank, but
Anally Senator Lewis (D, 111.) stood
j up and reminded Borah of his fight
for President Hoover in the last election,
swinging dry states to him ofl
the affirmation that the candidate
stood against nullification of the 18th
'Amendment.
f "I ask my able friend, will he now
Support President Hoover as the advocate
of the F.ight*>ontu Arr.cndiVrcuL,
1 fir does he support him as the nulli-J
fier of the constitution?"
"I understand," queried Borah, "the
senator asked whether I would support
the president on this platform?"
"Yes."
"I will not."
The replies of the two cabinet
members to Borah agreed in repudiating
the views attributed to them.

[ Learned About Ham, ~l I
From The Colonel J ?
sp
The Kentucky Colonel Introduce* Beetor to Am Old Friend
By COGOBOB BS0T09
World Famous Restaurateur and Daitf
Food Broadcaster
A few years ago I went to Seattle,
and whils I was there I
learned something which none of
' the chefs in Paris could teach me.
Xt took a Kentucky Colonel, .visiting
In Seattle, to showNme a little cullnary
trick whloh has made many
; friends for me. Here's the story.
I was making a personal appear|
ance in Seattle one time and was
talking to a group of people about
the succulent Virginia Hem* I stood
right up and said: "There is no ham
like a Virginia Ham." Among the
people present at this very intelleotual
discourse was a Southerner?
a real honest-to-goodness Colonel
who was visiting relatives in the
Northwest. When I finished my
rhapsody on Virginia Ham, he sang
me a symphony of Kentucky Ham
?saying to me in a delightful
Southern drawl: "Mr. Hector I am
sorry but you-all just don't know
what ham is." I smiled, thinking
that here was another food fanatic,
and, with a promise from the Colonel
that I would receive one of his
home-smoked and cured hams when
I returned to Chicago, I let the
matter drop. ? ?* ?. ...
Eventually I went back to Chicago
and the first meal that Mrs.
Rector prepared for me was an absolute
culinary delight. There was ,
a baked ham that surpassed any I
have ever tasted, and to my surprise
I was told that it was from
the ham my Colonel friend had
promised me in Seattle.
The reason the ham was so deli- j
clous was because of the blending
of certain tasteful foods with the
rich flavor of the ham. Listen while .
I tell you how you can prepare this ,
unusual and most appetizing ham
dish as the Colonel explained it to
me. " |
Boil a medium sisod sUndud
ham,, remove the rind and leave a
nice thick layer of fat covering the
entire ham. Take a jar of peanut
butter and a box of needless raisin*.
Hun the raisins through a meat
chopper, mix with the peanut butter
Into an even paste and tpj*4i|( J
over the entire ham in about
inch thickness. Cover the ham with
bread crumbs, stud with cloves and
bake for about an hour, basting
very frequently with a mixture of
cider and a little of the liquor the
the ham was boiled in.
If you have ever found better
flavor in a ham, tell me about It,
because thlrty-flve years of seeking
for culinary secrets have left me
with the feeling that if there Is
anything new, I am quite anxloua
to taste it. . . . itLet
me give you another recipe?
