Yes, I knew him when he just a youngster.- And so the story runs. And another thing aoout a is that all of them, all of the older residents "who knew Hoover nearly a third of a century ago, have a good word to say for "Bert." "I lived just across the street from the Minthorn's for several years, says W. A. Alderman, veteran resident. "Bert stayed with his uncle, Dr. Mln thorn In what was then the 'big house' on the corner of Hazel and Highland avenues." Hoover "Just Boy." Mr, Alderman says that "Bert" was more serious than nutny other boys of 12 to i, but that he Was "just boy" in many ways. The elder Salem resi dents has one story on "Bert" which he mentions just to prove his state ment. One of "Berts" chores was to take care of the family cow. One night, Dr. Minthorn, came home some time after "Bert" had retired and discovered that the cow had not been attended to. Im mediately "Bert" was aroused and "Bossie'" was taken care of at once. "The only time I can recall that Bert was ever lax In any of the multitude of boyish tasks that were his share," says the narrator. "Many a night' I have called on Dr. Minthorn, and "Bert" was always working over hU books. He is one of the few lads whom I can recall as etng eternally anxious to build himself up. He was encouraged bv Dr. Minthorn tn ha self- supporting and to fight his own bat- tics. , . . Liked by Everyone. In further comment concerning Her bert Hoover's boyhood, Mr. Alderman says that he was well liked by'every one who knew him. On the other hand, he Is remembered as being a serious young man. Alderman can not remember that he ever neard "Bert" crack a Joke. "He was In dead earnest about everything he tackled, and even as a boy, exhibited a hearty dislike toward irrevalent or trivial matters." - '., The Capital Journal .will continue these "Hoover Sketches from day to day-.: Germans To Hand 120 Vessels Over To Entente Soon French Railroad Men Issue Call For Big Strike that koj uujtruiea 10 a smile I ran, " counte Pae over the Judicial ', al railroad strike have been issued by oTZu "Your honr "as a way Wilson :.anderveer complalned.Judge w i assured the defense attorney ut 'ne in t. if tw . not intoj . wc " was LC0Un1 asked Mrs?

Leslie Smith ,an over grown lad of 19 years, was caught shortly before noon by the officer. Instead ot hav ing a long black mustache, his upper lip was fringed with delicate hairs never yet Introduced to the cut of a razor. Instead of wearing the rough garb of the typical lumberman he wore a simple blue denim overalls, corduroy coat and tight cap. And the "six gun" was not nearly so murderous as painted by the "victim It was a rusty barrel that he extended into the young man's ribs, not the muzzle of a blood-seeking "gat." The gun did not even have a oyllnder, and the trigger wus rusted tight. GirVs And Teachers Manufacture Wine j And Are Dismissed Chicago, Feb. 28.

The fact that Hoover has refused to state his party alleg iance does not prevent the people of either or both parties from nominating him against the wishes of the politicians, and his own wishes. It is a case of the job seeking the man. Only registered democrats are eligible to sign these petitions, but if any republican will get out similar petitions to nominate Hoover, the Capital Journal will render similar aid in securing signatures. It is up to the people to beat the politicians to it and name the next president. If you are a democrat, sign this petition. If you are a republican, get out a petition of your own.
