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.

The carpet beetles or “buffalo (

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

"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.”

his products at prices higher than are

products. This Is pointed out in tbe
Republican campaign textbook.
The complete book Is being printed

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.

the larger and more comprehensive exhibits and displays in the Sheep

This event affords an opportunity to learn from the expeeriences and

We believe that local farmers who attend will bring back a knowledge
of better farming practices that will assist in the further prosperity
