IS HOOVER SLATED
 FOR CABINET SEAT
(Ry United Press)

Washington, June 25.-Desperate efforts are being made by Senator Hardin 2, it was reliably reported to- day, to discourage insistent specu- lation as to his cabinet selections, which seat Herbert Hoover as the next secretary of state, provided the Republicans are victorious in the presi- dential election. This rumor persists in circulation so doggedly that it is said the Republican nominee is using every effort to stop it.
 The rumor had its start when Mr. Hoover had breakfast with Senator Harding and after which he announc- ed his support of the nominee and ap- proval of his platform. To substan- tiate this report, it is known that Senator Harding has a high opinion of MT. Hoover's ability, and a second factor which would emphasize the pos sibility of Mr. Hoover's selection is his acquaintance with European af- fairs, gained while American and in- ternational food administrator, and the high esteem in which he is held abroad.

built a new one room house and it is
very neat and convenient and stands
on hill overlooking the surrounding
country not far away from the old

cleaned up and the underbrush cut
out it will be a nice place and con-

fort to better the school facilities of

Mr.. L. H. Sem drove me over to
Mudlic from Vaughnville. This
school is another small one teacher
school. But the good people Of this
community should not be satisfied
that the children be, forced to at
tend school in any such building. 1t
is not a credit to our progress and to
our advanced civilization. There is
opportunity to have in this commun-
ity good school and a handsome and
modern building and I hope to get
the people interested in building it
and in having a good school for these
children. Mrs. Annie Hit Heustis is
the teacher of the school. With the
large amount Of taxable property in
the district with a little change in
the boundaries of some of the dis
tricts up that side so as to make the
school more convenient there can be
builded up there good house that
will be a great help, not only in
arousing the school spirit and helping
the children, but it will also be a
great community builder and we
should always take that in the count
when we build school houses. l went
from the school house around to Mr..
NJ. J. Longshore's and Mr.. P. N.
Boozer's. Mr.. Boozer runs a large
ginnery at his place and has one Of
the largest country stores in the
county and has fine farms all around.
At his as we'll as at all the gins in
the county the wagons were lined
up with cotton. In fact the cotton
crop in this county is going to be one
of the largest grown in many years.
And the people are getting up with
the gathering. Several fine sites can
be secured up here for a good COM
munity center. and a good school. We
desire to take the matter up with
these people before long. Certainly
it is not we'll that the children shall
be forced to 60 to school in the pres
ent Mudlic school house. We then
went over to Mr.. Senn's home where
we had good dinner with him and

for his grand champion Of the South

feated the grand champion Of Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Georgia, and
took the blue ribbon over a Berk-
shire five times grand champion this

Shuler Houck of Cameron, also came

ribbons.
Laurel Champions Best, the win
ner of the Berkshire grand cham

off the Southern grand championship
at Atlanta, where Mr.. Williams had
a number of his best swine on ex-
