Herbert Hoover to keep to a high level the standards of the American home and to do so by continuing his efforts in behalf of labor is shown in a pamphlet, “Hoover and Labor,” re leased by the Hoover for President Labor Council of the Republican Na tional Committee. During his entire career, beginning at the age of 12 when he was tossed into the world to earn his living, Mr. Hoover has worked whole-heartedly in the cause of the working man. As a laborer himself, as a worker in the mines in his youth and, since 1921, as Secretary of Commerce, Mr. Hoover has studied the problems of American labor and has aided in the solution of many of them, the pamphlet shows. Have you a buffalo carpet beetle in your home? Many Oregon house wives seem to have, judging by the number of inquiries now being received by the experiment station as to how to get rid of the pests.

They re main secluded in dark places, un der carpets or in the folds of gar ments. Where carpets are tacked down they sometimes follow cracks in the flooring eating slits as they go along. In garments the| holes made are irregular. Unlike some other moths, they never causeI • webbing on the fabric.

LOUIS.—A stirring tribute to Hoover’s post war activities on behalf of the suffering people of Germany and Austria is contained in a booklet just published here, prepared by for mer Congressman Cleveland A. New ton of Missouri. “For eight years In Congress I fought for food relief and the return of alien property to distressed people in Germany and Austria,” said Mr. Newton. “I did this not because they were Germans or Austrians but be cause it was Just. I would do the same for the French, the Belgians or the Russians. I believe In a square I i I : deal. "I have personal knowledge of the great service rendered by Herbert Hoover to the suffering people of Central Europe, especially children. Hoover’s answer to allied statesmen and others who objected to Bending foodstuffs to the famished populations of Germany and Austria was: 'We were never at war with women and children!' "When my post-war proposals for sending food to starving Central Eu rope were up before the Congressional Committee, it was suggested that Hoo ver, America's food expert, be called. One may imagine my joy and delight as I listened tor one hour to the force ful, masterly, unanswerable presenta tion which Hoover made in favor of relief tor the suffering, hungry and starving people.” OCTOBER 18, 1928 Orr in Chicago Tribune. .To Cast First Vote Mrs. Jane Anne Mandeville, of Port Crane, N.

Sheep Breeders Establishing Production Standards Just as dairy cattle raisers select breeding stock on a basis of milk and butter production, so are wool growers now adopting a system of selecting breeding stock based REPUBLICANS GIVE FARMERS on wool production. One prominent Rambouillet breeder HOME MARKET MONOPOLY retains only those ewes which shear 15 pounds of wool WASHINGTON. — The American or more annually. farmer under Republican administra tion has had practically a monopoly of his home market. In this protected market he disposes of 95 per cent of his products at prices higher than are paid elsewhere In the world for like products. This Is pointed out in tbe Republican campaign textbook. The complete book Is being printed In Installments of which the first Is devoted entirely to agriculture, and Includes pertinent extracts from Her bert Hoover’s acceptance address, the agricultural plank of tbe Kansas City platform and other pertinent data rela tive to the farm situation. In addition to thia, there Is a recital of the Republican party's constructive legislation In behalf of agriculture since 1920, a provision Intended to show that the promises now being made to the farmers by Mr. Hoover and Senator Curtis spring from a sym pathetic attitude and therefore will be fulfilled in good faith By the Repub licans. The problems of agriculture are treated from an economic rather than a political viewpoint, and emphasis Is laid on the freedom from economic fallacies of the agricultural legislation already passed by Republican con gresses which Includes 24 measures since March, 1921, when the Republi cans came into office.
