Eight Days in Wilds Shormau, Me., July 23.?I'sing na j lure lore he learned as a Hoy Scout, j 12 year old Doim Fendler emerged to! day. naked and exhausted, from the j Mount Katahdin wilderness In which ! ho had wandered for eight days. | Object of one of the state's greatest ; searches, the Kye. X V , boy who !>* came lost on the chilly summit of the mile-high mountain, was found moan ing and crying in underbrush near the east branch of the I'enobscot river, 33 miles from where he disappeared. Clad at the outset only In light hiking clothes, the boy scrambled over rocky trails and through dense thickets dojvn the Hide ,.pf the mountain, through thick woods and over tangled tote roads until his thin screams attracted attention of Nelson McMoran, owner of a sporting camp. McMoran put across the river in a boat and carried the blue-eyed boy back into camp In his arms. Mrs. Moran asked his name. "Donn Fendler. I was lost on the mountain," he replied weakly. Given some coffee, ho appeared somewhat refreshed and insisted on telephoning his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fendler, at a Hangor hospital, to assure them of his safety. "I'm all right, mama," he told his mother, nearly hysterical with Joy. "I love you" wks all the father was able to say, and the mother set out at once for the camp, eight miles from the Milllnocket-Houlton highway. The father, suffering an eye injury received during the hunt, was unable to leave. The worst of Jhe boy's injuries was a hip sore apparently suffered in a fall. His body bore many deep scratches, and he was badly bitten by mosquitoes and flies. JHe had subsisted on berries, the boy told McMoran. He was given a cup of coffee. A physician said his condition was "fair" and that he would recover. Young Fendler told McMoran that he had followed mountain streams In the belief that they would lead him to human habitation. He mado full use, he explained, of the nature lore he had learned as a Boy Scout. His clothes had been torn from his body by the brush and rocks. The slender youth became lost Monday afternoon last week when he went ahead of his father and some other companions in starting descent of the rugged mountain. A few minutes later. Just before a hail storm swept the summit, his companions rushed to overtake him, but did not find him. Several times searchers picked up what they thought was his trail, but each time bloodhounds were unable to follow the clues. I liur.ssc/frniffl 3-EB5B18E Washington, July 2!. The senate passed aiivl sent to the house the Uo bill which will insure farm mortgages KM per cent and enable tenants to buy farms a special provision will lend $o00,uo0,t.'6o to expand the Farm Security Administration program for tenant purchases and rehabilitation. A limit of $;>.">((,ouo.000 that can bo secured ui any one time is set, but It is believed to be a starter for an insurance program that may be many times greater, if this plan should work out well | A drive to pass a revised WageHour bill before congress adjoui ns | was opened by some members of the, house. | The long delayed amendments which 1 la hoped to liberalize the social security act will soon become a law. The) bill that was approved by the house would keep the Old Age Insurance,' tax on employer and employee as Itj now Is until 1942 at 1 per cent and ( payments are to start with the coming January 1. News carriers and fishermen on vessels, under four hundred tons, were exempt from its provisions. I The house passed five bills which intended to speed up patent proced-| ure. A senate committee reported senate bills that are expected to cre-j ate a Circuit Court of Patent Appeals limiting the life of a patent to twen-| ty years from the day the application' is filed. This is to prevent dragging I out private control of the Invention,] which can some times run over forty years. The President is trying to get congress to pass a new program which will lend about $4,000,000,000 to attract private capital to non-federal and other public works. The provisI Ion for extending long and short term loans to foreign governments to promote trade was eliminated. The Farm Security Administration has distributed within the past year 1,000,000 copies of its written lease forms designed to improve rental arrangements between farm tenants and landlords. Both have applied In large numbers for this "Flexible Farm Lease," which is Intended to take the place of oral agreements that still prevail In many sections of the country. The lease form Is designed to encourage statement of landlord-tenant agreements in clear-cut terms and minimize the misunderstandings that arise from word-of-mouth agreements. The "rental rates" clause carries a suggested form for stating exactly the share of each crop or the cash payment the tenant Is to give the landlord. The "Improvement compensaI tion" clause in the lease form pro-j vides for an impartial sharing of responsibility for property improvements ?both permanent and removable. The amount of compensation the tenant is to get for improvements he makes1 on the landlord's property during his tenancy has often caused disagree-! ments under oral leaning. Another matter of concern to the landlord and tenant Is the annual renewal of their contract. Leasing from year to year Is a prevalent tenure practice. In many cases, Farm Security Administration officials Bay, this procedure works to the disadvantage of both , parties. Tenants hesitate to Initiate j crop rotations; landlords hesitate to make changes or repairs In buildings , which may not be needed by succeeding tenants. To provide for such cases the "Flexible Farm I-ease" contains an "automatic renewal" clause. This clause In effect causes the lease to remain In full force until either party wishes to terminate his contract. Termination of the lease Is in accordance with a period of notice fixed In I the contract. Experience has shown | that the use of a lease of this kind i makes for better protection of the, I landlord's property and for more se' curlty for the tenant and hiB family. | The house passed legislation setting up definite requirements to govern j the issuance of trust Indentures. It goes back to the senate for consider . atlon of amendments. | The original senate bill would au, thorlze the securities commission to set up standards while the house-ap' proved version would substitute statu* J tory standards. Indentures in excess I of $1,000,000 would be exempted. A ; trust Indenture is a legal document Betting forth obligations of an issuer I of securities to purchasers relative to collateral, defaults and the like. | Chairman of the House Rules com-( mittee said Tuesday, after a White. Houso call, that the committee probably would give legislative right-ofway to legislation to cushion Philip-J pine industry against import taxes being imposed incident to Independence' for the Islands. A* rule probably will( be granted also on a bill to authorlzo a $277,000,000 set of new locks for the Panama Canal. FARM W00DLAND8 HAVE DISTINCT PLACE ON PROGRAM "The farm woodlands of KerBhaw county have a distinct place In tho program of agriculture, because demonstrations show that forest acreB, properly treated, will contribute materially to the farm income," Bars County Agent W. C. McCarley. Farmers of the county can increase the returns from their timbor, the agent explains, through practicing a simple program of woodland management that Includes protection from Ore, thinning the young timber, and selectively cutting the older timber. Protection from Ore 1h essential because It destroys leaf litter, reduces the water-holding capacity of the soil, and thereby Increases erosion. FurthI ermore, it kills thousands of seedlings 'and saplings needed for later stands. Thinning Is profltable because by removing the Inferior and defective trees for fuelwood, tobacco wood and pulpwood, the thinned stands will fro1 quently produce sawtimber and poles 1 in less than one-half the time required I for untihinned stands. I Selective cutting is profltable be1 cause it makes it easy to leave a good J stand oX trees for futuro crops that may be cut at frequent intervals for steady cash returns. Through following this program farmers in the county can realize an annual profit from their timber Just as from their cotton, tobacco, corn and livestock. Twenty-two candidates are after the Job of coroner in "Bloody Harlan" in Kentucky, where a week rarely passes without at least one killing. Tho coroner Is paid by a fee. /Vwitfti?.4 Utile Human Termite Control '1" By Ding Darling , V/HA3T W* HAVe XXJWB XV) THE NATURAL bCAUTItS OTOUR LAHDSv. At-tS ?
