] Liars, all of them, according to Jo Hamlett, the mayor of
] this tiny Fox River town just north of the Missouri
] border, who fills many a day soaking up the stories spun
] around the long table here at A.J.'s. Tired of the
] extra-tall tales, and always on the lookout for cash to
] pave the town's roads, Mr. Hamlett has proposed an
] ordinance to ban lying here.

] "I just feel like it would put a little more Midwestern
] honesty back in these people," Mr. Hamlett, 69, said,
] adding that the hunting and fishing here are so good, no
] exaggeration is necessary. "I'm for God, motherhood,
] apple pie and honesty. That is my agenda."
