H0OVERING VIA MOVIES,

Hoover evidently places his unlim.
tied confidence in the ability of mov-
ing pictures to distribute a message
Last week he wired several of the
large producing companies, asking
them to attach film traiers or titles
on all of the pictures that they were
sending out over period of three
weeks, bearing message from him
calling upon the country to observe
the several days he has set aside as
wheatless, meatless, porkless, fatless
sugarless and eatless. He did moi
reckon without his host, either. The
companies fell in line as one man, anc
now the picture theatres are all flood
ed with Hoover's message,

MYERS SERVES
DINNER OF PRIZE
POULTRY TO SAMMIES,

CARMEL MYERS, the Bluebird
photoplay star, has changed her
- views regarding chicken stealing.
She now maintains that there are
times when this popular brand Of lar
:eny is quite pardonable--as when, for
instance, the appetites of half dozen
hungry husky soldier boys have to be
appeased with home-cooked chickens.
Carmel has appointed herself the
patron saint Of 4 large flock of Sam
mics at one Of the Western camps,
and last Sunday an even half-dozen
Of her charges, stopping in Los An
gelcs between trains, dropped in at
her home without warning shortly be-
fore dinner-time. Carmel had invited
chem to see the filming on Saturday
)f her latest photoplay, "The Wife
lie Bought" but they were a day
ate
Carmel and her mother ruefully
lied up the one lone chicken browning
n the oven for the family table and
}ondored how fl" it would 90 with
he cmpty-looking warriors They de-
ided that The bird would have to have
endorsements and Carmel started

A neighbor Of the Myers family

owls. The neighbor was not at home,
jut the cause demanded drastic and
immediate action. Carmel simply APP
oropriate couple Of those blue-rib-
non birds, leaving an explanatory note
for their owner.
The day was saved; the boys had a
homemade chicken dinner and de-
clared they would cherish the mem.
ory Of it through thick and thin. Car
mel probably will, too, she says, after
she sees the bill for those aristoerat:

Millions of dollars worth of agricul
tural wealth-much of 1t foods de-
stroyed by fire in the United States
every year. At normal prices and
with an average crop it would take the
value of the greater part of the potato
crop of the country to offset all that
is lost annually through the fires on
farms.
This is dead loss to the nation
for the fact that most individual losers
are partially reimbursed through in
surance does not in the least reduce
the drain on our national resources
and It is a loss that is largely pre-
ventable. Simple ways to reduce this
great waste are suggested in Farmers
Bulletin 9O4, "Fire Prevention and
Fire Fighting on the Farm" issued
for free distribution by the United
State department of agriculture.

writer's Of the bulletin, is the oldest,
simplest and cheapest fire extinguish-
er and should be in every farm build

Round Bottom Buckets Best.
ANY kind Of bucket filed with water
and placed handily is good, but spe-.
cial fire buckets with rounded bottoms
like a kettle are best. There is no
temptation to use such buckets for
ordinary purposes and they are much
more likely to be left hung on the
brackets or in the round holes cut for
them in shelves. Any kind of fire
buckets should be specially painted or
labeled and never used for any pur-
nose other than fire fighting. They
should he placed near entrances and
near the top of stairways or ladders
where they can easily be reached on
entering the building or loft. Several
buckets nested in a barrel of water
are an effective device.
Needless to say, the fire buckets
should always be kept filed by replac-
ing the water lost by evaporation.
If the buckets are covered, water
will not evaporate so rapidly nor get

In the field of agriculture we
!, have agencies and instrumentali-
ties, fortunately, such as no 9th
er government in the world can
show THE department of agri-
culture is undoubtedly the great
est practical and scientific agri-
cultural organization in the
world. It's total annual budget
of $4,000 900 has been increased
during the last four years more
than - per cent. 1t has a staff
of $4,000, including a large num-
ber of highly trained experts,
and alongside of it stand the
unique land-grant colleges,
which are without example else
where and the 60 state and fed
eral experiment stations. These
colleges and experiment stations
have total endowment of plant
and equipment of $172000,000
and an income Of more than $35,-
100000, with 1927 teachers, a
resident student body of 125000,
and vast additional number
receiving instruction Mt their
homes. County agents Joint Of
ficerS Of the department of agri-
culture and of the colleges, are
everywhere cooperating with
the farmers and assisting them.
The number of extension work
ers under the Smith-Lever act
and under the recent emergency
legislation has grown to $500
men and women working regu-
larly in the various communi-
ties and taking to the farmer
the latest scientific and practical
information. Alongside these
great public agencies stand the
very effective farmers them
selves which are more and more
learning the best methods of CO.
operation and the best methods
of putting to practical use the
assistance derived from govern
mental sources. - From Presi-

The Presidents letter of accept
| ance, dated Nov. 81. follows:
my dear? Mr. Secretary; + was
not unprepared for your letter OF
| the 14th. because you had more than
once, of course, discussed with me
| the circumstances which have long
made it serious personal sacrifice
for you to remain in office. I knew
that only wour high and exacting
| sense OF duty had kept you here un-
til the iramed date tasks of the, war
should be over. But I am none the
less, distressed. / shall not allow our
| intimate persosal relations to de-
priVe me Of the pleasure OF saying
That. in my Judgment the country
has never had an abler, a more re"
| sourcefuI and yet prudent, a more
uniformly efficient secretary Of the
treasury; and l say this remember
| ing all the s.ble, devoted and dis.
have kept your letter number Of
days, in order to suggest, IL ]
could, some other solution Of youE
| difficulty than the one you have now
felt obliged to resort TO. But / have
not been able to think Of any. I can
not ask you to make further sacri-
| fees, serious as the loss Of the gov
ernment will be in your retirement
I accept your resignation, therefore,
to take effect upon the appointment
of a successor, because in justice to-
you I must.
"I also for the same reason ac-
cept your resignation as director
general OF railroads, to take effect,
as you suggest, on the first Of Janu-
ary next or when your successor is
| l'appointed. The whole world ad-
mires, I am sure. as do. the skill
and executive capacity with which
you have handled the great and
complex problems of the unified ad-
ministration of the railways under
the stress OF war uses, and Will re-
gret. as L -de,- to see you leave that
post just as the crest OF it's difficult
ty is passed. X. x
""For the distinguished, .disinterest-
ed and altogether admirable service
you have rendered the country in
both posts, asd especially the way in
which you have guided the treasury
through all the perplexities and
problems of transitional financial
conditions and of the financing of
war which has been without preee-
dent alike in kind and in scope,
thank you with a sense OF gratitude
that comes from, the very bottom Of
my heart.
Gratefully and affectionately
yours,
