ROOSEVELT PLEDGES
AID To FOOD PROBLEMS
Tells Fargo Audience Democratic
Party Will Serve Producer
and Public.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

by Associated PRESS 20 Every Evening
Fargo, n. D., Aug. 17.-In his frs
address in North Dakota, Franklin ID
Roosevelt, Democratic candidate for
Vice-President, declared here yesterday
that the Democratic party, il elected
pledges itself to ''seek O solution of the
problems that will serve the best interests
of the producer and the great consuming
public"
81 am particularly glad to read that
the porch campaign of the Republi.
cans is breaking down." Mr. Roosevelt
said, land that Senator Harding has
now condescended to make five whole
speeches away from home.
"The theory of the Democratic cam
paign is, of course, just the contrary
Our candidates are trying not merely "a
carry the campaign TO the country,
but TO find out what the country Is
thinking.
This difference in attitude of mind
extends to the way in which the lead
ers of the two parties handle all public
questions. The Democratic theory is
that big national problems ought to be
settled from a national piont of view,
and ought not to be undertaken by a
mere gathering in Washington of half a
dozen old-line leaders who do not know
the country and who represent the kind
of things that Penrose Of Pennsylvania,
Lodge of Massachusetts,, Root of New
York and others of that group advocate,
who were IN control of the Chicago
Convention and who would be in control
of your Government If a Republican
President is elected.
For instance, you people out here
have long been concerned with the prob
lem of food production and marketing.
You appreciate; / hope, the danger OF
the control Of this question by men who
are friends OF the packers, by friends
OF big bankers, and by friends of the
Eastern middlemen. A solution by them
will bring you back to conditions of ten
or fifteen years ago.
''The Democratic party Is controlled
by no such gang. If elected, we pledge
ourselves to seek solution of the prob
lens that will serve the best interests
of the producers and the great consum-
ing public, the two, after all, who are
vitally concerned.
There is no question that the farmer
does not get today what he ought to
get, and there is no question, also, but
that the consumer pays too much.
Somewhere in between the two are steps
which must be eliIninated-our Trans
portation problems, marketing problems
and warehouse problems

Harding Talks OF Suitable Western
Man" for Secretary Of Interior

Tacoma, WASH, Aug l7.-Senatol
Harding, in telegram to Governor Hart
of Washington, said yesterday he could
readily see the propriety in the selection
of a suitable western man" for the post Of
secretary of the interior, and added that
one of his particular ambitions" was to
see that the Country gets one of the
strongest cabinets that can be brought
together"
"I appreciate fully what you say. con-
cerning the interest of your wonderful
country in the matter of reclamation and
development, and | think am in pretty
cordial accord with the best thought of
your people on the subject" Senator Hard
ing said.
"Thcre will be some suitable oppor-
tunity before long at which / can say
something more fully on this particilar
question than | ventured in my speech
of acceptance.
81 can readily see the propriety in
the selection of suitable western man
for the portfolio which you mention. This
is a matter that is going to receive most
earnest and serious attention at the proper
time. The one particular ambition in my
work is to see that the country gets one
of the strongest cabinets that can be
brought together

CONCRETE ROADS
S. P. Leeds Of Atlantic City, Max
ing Tour Of du Pont Bou-
lcvard Today.

IS. p. Leeds. president of the Atlantic
City Chamber OF Commerce, known in
New Jersey and beyond his own state as
the champion of permanent roads and
the foe ot the so-called patcnt-road
interests. is touring Delaware today ms the
guest of Charles Upham. state highway
engineer, for the purpose of inspecting
the du Pont boulevard.
While waiting at the du Pont hotel this
morning for the Nitrnohilc which was to
carry him over Delaware's noted high
way, MIR. Leeds spoke in the highest terms
Of the work done by Mr.. Upham for this
state. IL have the highest respect for
Mr.. lpham as an engineer" MIR. Iced
said. II know of no other engineer any,
where who maintains state roads at a lower
cost. Besides, Mr.. Upham built the roads
at first cost, which is in itself n remarkable
performance.
Mr.. Leeds is chairman of the group
committee of the trade organization of
the Federal Highway council and a
director Of the National Highway Traffic
association. For several years he has led
the fight in his state against patent pave
mcnts, believing that concrete, or sheet
asphalt, makes the ideal highway and
comes nearer 10 permanancy than any
other make of road.
The Chamber of Commerce in Atlantic
City is working for roads that will stand
the hrunt of the heaviest commercial
traffic with minimum eNpens,so , main
tenancc 10 the taxpayers, roads ;hat are
urgently needed for the transnC rtation of
farm products 10 the nearest market,
and the heaviest passenger traffic, also
Tor the rapidly increasing interstate
traffic.
Such a road Mr.. Leeds expects 20 find
in the du pont boulevard at is the
quality uf construction that counts" he
said. MIR lnham has built maintenance
into the rads themselves
& concrete road has life Of from 10
90 20 years Take the FIRST concrete road
land, that at Fon du Lac in Wisconsin,
built in 1908. II is still good for many
years The advantage Of the concrete
road is clear Its first life is long Then,
when II begins 70 disintegrate, il may
b. given a hl;uminous surfacing which
adds another 10 years or more to its
life.
In my own state, the time has come
when we must be saved from the extava-
CANT influence Cf raving monopoly
and our taNpayers must be spared the
additional and unnecessary expense of
using patented paving materials for the
completion Of its highway system"
The tour If inspection started this
morning with trip on the pike to Dover
and then TO Selbyville over the du Pont
boulevard. Later, Mr.. Leeds will tour
Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Summer Spoiled Skin
Removed by Absorption

As undue summer exposure usually leaves
an undesirable surface of tan. redpess or
roughness. often freckles. too. the sensible
thing to do is to Ncmove such surf ace.
There's nothing better for this than ordi-
nary mercolizod wax. which actually alb
serbs an unwholesome complexion. The
thin layer of surface skin is itself absorbed
gently, gradually. there's inconven-
fence, no detention indoors. Spread the wax
lightly over the entire face at bedtime and
take IL off In the morning with warm water.
III you viii &c one ounce of mcrcolized wax

you may expect marked Improvement daily.
When the underlying skin is wholly In view
your complexion will be marvel of spot

Don't let those summer wrinkles worry
you: worry breeds more wrinkles. Danish

An Easter Blizzard.

The blizzard that had been raging
in Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahma
the latter part OF last week, upsettins
train schedules, putting telephones
out OF commission and causing much
suffering to live stock, struck this
Fart OF Western Missouri some time
saturday night and Sunday morning
he ground was covered with thick
,.lanket OF snow and the wind blow
.Ig a gale. There was snow iall, ac-
companied by high winds all day and
the Easter millinery and new gowns
we're laid aside for use later in the
season
SUNDAY night the snow fall ceased,
i.ut the thermometers registered
from 10 to II above zero and it is
thought that all peaches and pears
have been killed.
There was little damage reported
in this county. On south Main street
the heavy snow and wind pulled the
telephone and electric light wires to-
gether causing the telephone in the
home of E. A. Hardin to catch fire.
The fire department was called, but
the burning phone was detached from
the wall before their arrival. Had it
occurred during the night while the
family was asleep there is no doubt
but that the house would have been
destroyed. 81
