About two weeks ago the cat was carried to the home of Dr. Hood's sister-in-law In Wolftown. Va , near former Presi dent Hoover's fishing camp on the Rapidan River.

WAR ON NEW DEAL BY ALL IS URGED Knox Says 3,000,000 Demo crat Votes Needed to Beat New Deal. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, May 28—Col. Prank Knox, candidate (or the Republican presidential nomination, said last night his party would need the support of 3.C00.000 "patriotic Democrats" if It is "to defeat the subversive Washing ton faction” in the Pall election. Making what his aides termed his last Important political address be fore the Cleveland convention which will pick the Republican standard bearer for the November contest, Col. Knox said: "We are In the midst of a funda mental crisis that will determine the preservation or loss of American In stitutions. "We must proceed from that fact to the conclusion that normal differ # '' ences between Republican and Demo crat fade into Insignificance. “Prom a practical standpoint the reality and sincerity of this action must be demonstrated by a generous recognition of the necessity of obtain ing the support of not less than 3, 000,000 Democrats in the battle to be waged against a faction that had re pudiated the Democratic platform, vio lated all Democratic principles and subverted the Constitution of the United States." His remarks were delivered in a radio talk on "Good Government” at a Pounders’ day banuet of Sigma Delta Chi, Journalistic fraternity. Declaring he was one of those who believed the present Administration had not provided good government, Col. Knox said his opinion was based to some extent on his idea “that the less we are conscious of government in our daily lives the better is that same government.” “The Republican Party, being the only existing machinery of opposition, must raise a standard under which all who believe In democracy can meet.” But to win, he said, “We must de serve to win. We must give a real demonstration that the Republican Party is a worthy and effective instru ment to meet the national crisis, to defeat the subversive Washington fac tion." "We can meet this crisis by no blind support to reactionary principles. • * * We must be the champions at whatever cost of support among the unthinking of a true liberalism.” The "infallible test” for the term, he said, was: "Does a proposed in novation in politics or government add to the sum total of human lib erty and individual freedom?” "If it does not,” he continued, "no matter by what it may be called, it Is reactionary.” -« Temblor Is Recorded.

They’re out in the open at every opportunity. It means so much to the children Mrs. Wilson confides. Bobbie (he’s the older one) is a holy terror around the house so the open spaces are happy hunting grounds for him. You see, we’re vitally interested in the Wilsons because we’ve helped Bobbie and Sister grow up. Their baby powder was bought here. The eod liver oil that helped put the sparkle in their eyes came from our counter. They’re growing so fast now we expect they’ll be coming in by themselves before we know it. We’re mighty proud of the part we play in the life of the Wilsons. It was a real thrill when we heard that the prescription we delivered one rainy night brought Bobbie’s temperature down before morning. W’e like to hear Mr. Wilson's report on “the kids” when he stops in for his daily supply of cigars. It’s a great responsibility to take care of the Wilsons and the thousands of other families who eount on Liggett’s. But as one neighbor to another we delight in helping whenever we can. And we share the parents’ pride when the Bobbies and Sisters grow up to be fine young people. Friendly service . . . low prices . . . free • L. D.
