A POWERFUL CHAMPION.

In connection with efforts to better the welfare of humanity and to bring relief to sufferers in disaster stricken sections of the world Herbert c. Hoover has risen to a position that commands high respect throughout the world. He is recognized as one who is not only thor oughly posted but one who has demon- strated his ability to get results. He period but he retains his position and hls views carry weight.
 Thus when MT Hoover advanced sev- ral propositions for bettering Ameri- can child welfare to the American Child Hygiene association it is not surprising that they made a strong appeal It cer- tainly disclosed that the cause had won a strong leader.
 In MT. Hoover's opinion there is mo more reason why our local governments should not support a staff of commu- nlty nurses than that they should SUD- portA staff of policemen. Certainly such staff will ultimately decrease the nec- essity for police" He wisely maintains that infant feeding is fully as much of community problem as childbirth and
  tains that there should be provisions for and protection of the milk supplies As a definite part of school work he urges supplementary child feeding with clini- cal examination and report to the par ents
 On the question of child labor MT Hoover believes that there should be a constitutional amendment which would permit ''the federal government to take direct action on this question, for so lone as certain states are so backward in their social development that they will sacrifice their children to industrial ad, vantage it is not only unfair to the oth- CT states but it is poisoning the springs of the nation at it's source."
 Either by direct or indirect federal ac. ton MT Hoover would compel the re. ! duction of illiteracy while he urges ths 1 compulsory education of all children ur to the age of 15 or 1s years in justice 1 to the children and the future welfare oi i the country, and it is his belief that wt would advance three generations in ont if we could but grapple with the whole child situation as it should be handled for one generation.

CONCERNING THE YOUNG MAN

Now, 1 don't want Adora to have that lank, op-eyed Bagley Hooper hanging around this house every night in the week." complained Adora's father. She's not to fancy she's in love at her age, and anyhow, I'd just as soon have a baby hippopotamus as Bingley for son-in-law. I can't inn agine what she sees in that fellow! He gurgles and chokes instead of talks, and he ties his feet in bowknots around the chairlegs and his hair looks as though it had been sandpapered and vanished. I want Adora, when she marries, to marry some one 1 can be proud of and take out to my golf club and

When girls are as young as 'Adora they are so foolish! Apt to fancy he is the right one and spoil their entire lives! No, I want Adora to select some brisk and ,cleyer young man who is good to his mother and lays by part of his salary.

RECORD CROPS.

How well the crop raisers have plan ned and worked in spite of the labor handicap and how well they have been favored by weather conditions is shown by the estimates of the yields for the year. Although there were indications that it would be otherwise the year has been record breaker in several respects. There never was year when so much corn was produced in the United States and not only were the farmers favored during the growing season but they were aided by the prolonged harvest period. This country leads the world in the pro- auction of corn. Where it has hereto fore raised 70 per cent. of the worlds supply it has in all probability increased that percentage this year for the crop of nearly 3,200, 000,0 ,00G bushels is the largest by 75,O00,O00 bushels that was ever raised. Twice before have more than three billion bushels been produced but never has sthis years estimate been topped or reached.
 But corn is not the only bumper crop Ter there have been established new rec

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
FATE OF FIRST AMERICAN BORN

Af1iGH.
 It seems most unfortunate that the first child born in America of white parentage should have so absolutely disappeared when but mere babe that no trace of her, or her parents, was ever discovered. All that we know about Virginia Dare, Americas first born, was that the event took place at Roanoke, in August, 1887. Virginia was the granddaughter of John White, who was the governor of the colony sent out by Sir Walter Ra- leigh to found an agricultural state.
 The White colony | left Plymouth. England, on April 26, 1887. They reached Roanoke in July of the same year. The mother of the child was the wife of Mir. Dare, one of her fathers assistants. She was born about month after the arrival of the expedi-- ton. Nine days after her birth Govz ernor White sailed for England, and when he returned a year later, all vestiges of the colony had disappeared. An inscription on the bark of tree pointed to Croaton, a place supposed to belong to friendly tribe of In- dians, but Croaton also was never found.
 This new expedition that Raleigh had sent out was composed of seven vessels and carried one hundred and eight colonists to the shores of Amer ica. John White was appointed the governor, and to him. with eleven as- sistants, the administration of the col ony was entrusted. When they reach ed the isle of Roanoke, to search for the handful of men whom Grenville had left there, on the previous Raleigh expedition, as a garrison, they found the tenements deserted and oYergroTn Ia ed on the field where wild deer were reposing The fort was in ruins. No vestige of surviving life appeared. It was a desolate place to establish an agricultural colony, and the first disaster they met with, was the kill ing of a number of natives by the col onists whom they thought unfriendly but instead they discovered, too late i that they were of a tribe who before had befriended the English.
 The vanities of life they failed tc forget, for by the command of Sir Walter Raleigh, Manteo, the faithful 1 baptism, was invested with the ranl l of baron, as the Lord of Roanoke. i When the ship returned White em- 1 parked for England under the excuse
 of intercedfng fer endorsements ana supplies He left behind him hi: ! daughter, Eleanor Dare. with her re- i cently-born baby, Virginia, named
 from the place of her birth.
 When he took his departure the col ony was composed of eighty-nine men 1 seventeen women and two children
 whose names are all preserved.
 was but reasonable to expect tha l White would return speedily, if fo | no other reason than to see his chilt ,i and grandchild.
 | More than three years elapsed be fore affairs had shaped themselves il such way in England to permit 0
 his return to search for his colon and his offspring. and when he di reach this country he found the isl and of Roanoke was a desert. The conditions he found prompte 'j him to make an almost immediate re
 turn. The conjecture has been haz

thing else that isn't nailed dowD--and Bingley was educated abroad and is here learning clerical details necessary to him when eventually he inherits all his fathers property. Bingley is an exceptional young man and takes life seriously and doesn't talk much"
 My word!" gasped Adora's father. Not the son of old c. B. Hooper, that the whole world knws about? Yet l can't say, that l am very much aston ished, because l have always had the feeling that Bingley was hiding his real worth beneath his quiet exterior. admire young man who knows enough to keep his mouth shut and doesn't tell all that he knows! Most of the young men hanging about Adora bore me to death giving me their opinions on every subject under the sun that they know nothing about. Not that he hasn't opinions-you can tell from the shape of his head that he is chap of original ideas and com mon sense and brilliancy, even. When a young man like Bingley comes to call on Adora 1t does seem to me that she might bestir herself to make it a little more interesting. She might get up a party for him." How foolish you are, father!" cried ms WlIe. Get up party, lndeed, ana have some little cat of another girl make eyes at Bingley the way these girls do. It isn't because Bingley
 comes of a good family and has wealth that am glad to have him friend of Adora's, but because I have always i had the idea that there was lots more to him than it seemed on the surface. He is my ideal of nice, sensible young ! man, and I always said that when l anybody like that came along l should
 never intetpose the least objection to | the affair.""

ords by the tobacco, rice and sweet po- tato raisers. Not quite billion and half pounds of tobacco have been raised but it will be if the estimate is correct about S7,Oo0.OOO pounds greater than last year.
 Three years ago new record was es- tablished in the production of rice when 40.Oo0,Ooo bushels were secured but a new high level was reached this year when fully 100000 more bushels were raised. The sweet potato crop goes to new record with ,150,676,000 bushels or gain of two, million bushels over the previous high water mark, but in addi- ton ito these record breakers there were large crops of hay, apples, oats, barley, rye and Irish potatoes. which approach ed if they didn't break the record, so that even with the downward tendency of prices there will be chance to make up from quantity what smaller crops might have brought with higher prices.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

Coal Substitutes-Dear coai is forcing country folk to- revert to some old-tine substitutes. Villagers around Epping Forest now burn wood. for they are still allowed to gather fallen boushs in the forest, though they have lost their lop- ping rights. In Hampshire they seem to be reviving the use Of turf" This must not be confused with peat, which the Hampshire bogs do not produce. A turf in this district means circular sod of heather about 1s inches in diam- eter with three inches of soil and matted roots besides the long heather tops.
 Round the world."-some writers. we notice, refer to the Prince of Waies returing from "his trip around the
 world That is not the case. Though he has. travelled since he left England probably twice as many miles as would make the circuit of the globe, the Prince has not been round the world. It is oaite conceivable, however widely he may tray- el, that he will never repeat the perform ance of his father 49 years ago in the Bacchante. When the Prince goes to ! India 1t is possible that he may visit the i Straits Settlements and get as far as
 Hong Kong. but unless he comes home by the Panama Canal he will not have gone round the world"
