Filbert and Walnut Duties
TWO and a half cents a pound is the tariff duty on filberts
in the shell, and 5 cents on "the shelled nuts. The duty
on walnuts in the shell is 4 cents a pound, and shelled wal
nuts 12 cents a pound i
And this is not enough ; especially in the caseof filberts,
in which the competition is fierce, from the southern Euro
. pean countries. Of course, the filberts from those countries
' are of poor quality, but the price is the principal thing with
some dealers, and some consumers, too.

Koerlment is one of Herbert
Hoover's earliest memories. They

blacksmith shop. Herbert, water

surface of the kettle, began to
speculate on the properties of not

Into the caldron.
Few Questions of science were

finally the Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, were all needed to put out
the fire before It reached tne
Hover house and the store.
Yet Herbert Hoover was by no
means precocious as a child. With
him the curtain rose rather late.
His mind carries no definite pic
ture of his father. His first teach
er remembers him as a "sweet lit
tle boy," plump and with rosy
cheeks, who learned readily and
never made any trouble, hut who
seemed more Interested in .getting
out of doors to play than in books
and studies.
A Regular Boy
In his little-boyhood no one ob
served anything remarkable about
him. His Quaker relatives all
testify to that. But he was a
"good little boy," pleasant and
willing. And looking back over
forty years, his limited world re

Herbert Hoover a first estab
lished ancestor was a certain An
drew Hoover, one of three broth
ers, probably Dutch, who in 1740
or thereabouts held farms in the
upland of Maryland. When the
curtain rises on him he belongs
to the Society of Friends. Thence
forth for five generations his de
scendants remained Quakers, mar.
ried "in the meeting" with women
of the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic blood,
and followed the frontier. In IS 53
his descendants emigrated to
Iowa, where they founded West
Branch, Cedar County.
In this new country Jesse Hoo
rer grew up. He abandoned the
farm and became the town black
smith: soon took on an aeencv

Jesse Hoover was of a different
and more sanguine temperament.
By native quality or by training.
in his business, he was a "mixer."
Above all, he loved a Joke.
In a one-story cottage across an
alley from Jesse Hoover's shop, on
August 10. 1174, came Herbert
Clark Hoover, born under the
ministrations of his Aunt Ellen,
volunteer nurse to the commun
ity. The birth of Theodore, on
"Tad," his only brother, had lc-
curred three years before. Sister
May was born after him.
Vigorous he seemed, and nor
mal. Tet Jesse and Huldah Hoo
ver to use the old-fashioned
phrase "nearly lost him." In
his second winter, he had an at
tack of croup so serious that Aunt
Ellen came In as nurse. At the
end of a long choking8pasm, he
stitiened; stopped breathing; so
far as visible signs went, died.
Aunt Ellen was laying out the lit
tle body when she noticed signs
of life and applied strong restor
ative measures. He revived. His
mother always believed that the
Lord gave him back in answer to
her prayers.
Then, Just after Herbert turned
six years old Just when small
business ventures were beginning
to pay; Just when, discounting
prosperity, he had moved Into a
new and better house Jesse Hoo
ver, at the age of thirty-three, was
dead of typhoid fever.
v Bereavement, too. nut a sndden
end to Herbert's little-boyhood. In
February, 1884, his mother came
back from one of her excursions
to the neighboring meetings with
a hard "cold on the lungs." It
turned into a swift, unconquerable
case of pneumonia. She had
borne many burdens; "and the
Lord had mercy and gave her
rest." said her friends of the
meeting.. But she had done most
of her . work as a mother. To
Theodore ; fctr Herbert, now
twelve and nine years old, she
had given strong, healthy, well
nourished bodies. And by gift of
tnheritan f or. by the unconscious
ly absorbed training of infancy,
she had Infused them with her
own unswerving integrity, her
spiritual quality. The idealism of
Herbert Hoover reflects her; ? as

The German diplomat has been
known to express the view, how
ever, that the civilized world
owes a debt of -gratitude to the
United States for having had the
courage to tackle the drink prob
lem common to all countries in an
effort to enforce prohibition. Mo
mentous results for other coun
tries as well as the United States
max hang on the outcome. That
explains the close attention with
which diplomatic missions In
Washington watch the march of
events in America. With the ex
ception of war-time emergencies,
when the things out of which al
coholic -drinks could be manufac
tured were more valuable for di
rect food use than for brewing
and distilling drinks, nothing ap
proaching the American experi
ment to create a bone-dry nation
hag ever before been attempted.
Naturally enough, foreign
statesmen are chiefly interested
in the practical, economic aspect
of the prohibition question. If
the American experiment discloses
unqu'estiopably increased national
prosperity due to prohibition, it
will be time for other govern
ments to think seriously of trying
similar experiments of their own.
standpoint, injecting beauty into
the products of the factory.
.Modernism In The Home
Currently most of the designs,
whether for lamp shades or lin
oleum, are in the modern idiom,
with straight lines and unusual
angles. The modernistic move
ment in industrial art is still In
its experimental stage, but its
foremost students assert that it is
seadily geting away from the bi
zarre and the Alliance is sure the
trend will have a permanent In
fluence upon all forms of Amer
ican decorative art.
Business is getting better rizht
along. The dull summer period
