There are many people who know that Herbert Hoover, President of the United States,
maintains a ranch in California. There are probably many more who would like to know
why this mule the national symbol of the Democratic Party makes his home on the
Hoover Ranch. It may be that President Hoover feels sorry for the Party pardon us
the mule, and has taken him in. At any rate "Hawkshaw," our village detective, using a
Chevrolet Six-Cylinder Convertible Coupe, caught these pictures at the ranch.

"Three years ago a well known

"In 1928 they were using 82

6.1 cepts per nillo, or a saving of
