WASHINGTON. Oct. 27. (AP)
Herbert Hoover will call an e-
i tra session of congress. If necea-
sary, to deal with agricnltural re
k lief legislation in the event the re
publican party retains control of
' the government.
The presidential candidate in a
formal statement today said that
agricultural aid is the most urgent
economic problem before the coun
try and that its solution should
!'not be delayed for a whole year
This delay would be inevitable, he
believes, if such legislation should
-not be enacted at the coming ses
sion and the new congress did not
meet until a year from next De
cember.

urgently require solution and
should not be delayed for a whole
year. It is our most urgent econ
omic problem
"I should hope It can be dealt
with at the regular sessi&n thi
fall, and thus a special session be
avoided. If. however, that cannot
be accomplished, I would, if elect
ed not allow the matter to drift

tra session so. as to secure early
constructive action."

Persons who never
Are on Time.
THERE are many persons to
whom time means next to
nothing. They will make
engagements with no real
thought of keeping them with
anything like accuracy. Men.
as well as women frequently
show a- disregard for punctual
ity that at times Is exasperat-
Ing to those wnose ume is t-
iuable. In order to una oui
what Salem thinks ot those who
never are punctual the New
Oregon Statesman put the ques
tion to several residents of this
city Saturday. This Is how they
see It:
HENRY LAWSON, machin
ist, said: "My "Say is measured
Jn minutes. Each minute ot my
working time Is wqrth money
'to me. Naturally I resent it
when someone deliberately
iwastes my time by failure to
keep an appointment punctual
ly. I find that most of those
who do this sort ot thing are
mentally lazy ftnd shiftless.
That does not excuse them with
me. I'd like to give them a
good shaking. Of course I
never expect women to be on
time. Few of them know what
a clock Is for and even fewer
can understand that time means
money to a worker."
WALTER XAMKIN, clerk of
the Marlon county circuit court,
said: "I don't know of anything
that gets on a fellow's nerves
more than to have someone else
behind time. If I have to wait
for somebody elseor somebody
else has to wait for me, then all
that time is Just wasted. Punc
tuality certainly is a habit that
should be formed early In life."
C. C. WARD, clerk of the
Marlon county commissioner's
court, said: "The man or even
the woman who Is always late
is a serious handicap to every
one who has to deal with him,
and is at a serious disadvant
age himself. The day has pass

MRS. IVA B. MITCHELL,
