HI. c. HOOVER, BELGIAN RELIEF FUND CHAIRMAN,
 FORTY-ONE TOMORROW

To young American, a native of Iowa, was given the opportunity of presi ding over a Humanitarian move
 ment unique in the worlds history, and so well has he fulfilled his mis- sion that his name will be held in grateful renembrance6 by the Belg1ans for centuries to come. Herbert Clark Hoover chairman of the American Relief Committee in Belgium, was born at West Branch, la, and he will be forty-one years old tomorrow. AL though still young man. he has had an adventurous career, his profeS- sion of mining engineering has in volved visits to many out-of-the-way corners of the earth. A native of the HaWkeye State, he became a Califor- nian by adoption, and at the age of twenty-one was graduated in mining engin eering from Stanford University His first important wark was as as sistant to the Arkansas Geological Survey. In 1895 he joined the United States Geological Survey in the Sierra, | Nevada mountains: and the following years he was engaged as assistant manager of mines in New Mexico and California In 1897 the young en-
 gineer left his native land to go to western Australia, where he became
 chief of the mining staff Of a big com pany. After two years in the Anti
 podeS he proceeded to China, where he was appointed chief engineer of
 the Chinese Imperial Bureau of Mines. l While holding that important posi- ion
 he carried on extensive exploration in the interior of the empire, visiting
 places were white men were practi- cally unknown and were considered by the natives to be devils rather than
 humans. MT. Hoover was in Tientsfn during the Boxer rebellion, and took
 part in the defense of that city against 1 the rebels. Tn subsequent years MT. Hoover was interested in various
 Chinese mines and other industries, and was consulting engineer for many British corporations. His reputation as an engineer became international and he was made a member of the | leading engineering societies of
 France, Belgium and England, and a fellow of the Royal Geographical so- ciety. When the wal broke out MT.
 Hoover was in London, and he was
 chosen as best qualified to supervise Ethe American relief work in Belgium
 a task to which he has devoted all i his time and energy. and in which
 he has been ably assisted by Mrs. lHoover.

ARE YOUR COWS EFF
GENT?
Clemson Agricultural College.

Putting the efficiency test to cows
with the milk scales and the Babcock
tester is one of the essentials of con.
ducting successful dairy. When feed
is high in price farmer cannot af-
ford to have boarders in his dairy
barn who eat up more in feed than
their milk yield is worth. The Bah
cock test will show these delinquent
cows in their true light and the milk
scales will put the clincher on the
argument. Testing cows will give
some farmers a big surprise. Some
times the cow that looks like the
poorest creature in the lot is the best
butterfat producer. The dairy divis-
ion of Clemson College offers to give
any farmer advice about testing milk
and keeping records. Test, don't
guess.
