HOOVER IS PARTIsANSHIP.

II is said that Herbert Hoover is
not stirring public speaker, but ii
must be admitted that he is able to ex
press himself in writing clearly and
conyincingly. His statement issued
by Captain Lucev, chairman of the
Hoover National Republican club,
proves this. He makes it clear that he
cannot neglect his duties in the organ
izations engaged in relieving starva-
ton IN Europe 10 take part in a po-
Iitical campaign, that he cannot work
with mechanical politicians and that
his name should not be connected with
anything but the Republican party.
Here is his conception of political par
ties:
The purpose Of the political parties.
as | see them, is to organize team work
fgr the advancement and consummation
ct their views on the issues and meas
wes that are before us end the securing
Of men in public Office who viii give exc

ice to the opposition. He also appeals

their books to public inspection.
or lis letter written in 1918 regard
ing the election of congressman, the
New York World the first paper to adj
vocate the nomination of Mr.. Hoover,
says:
An examination of the letter written
! by Herbert Hoover in 1918, which many
| Republicans are now saying was an APP
peal for the election Of a Democratic con
gress, shows that it was nothing of the
sort. IT was an eXhortation to his coun-
trymen to hold party politics in abey-
ance.
Mr. Hoover says of the same letter:
1t was obviously my duty as an i'm.

In the pamphlet issued by James P.
Taylor of Burlington, Vermont s
mountain climbing and winter sports
he calls attention to one
commodity, scenery, which the Green
Mountain state has to sell, both sum
mer and winter. He says: They tell
us that the A B of salesmanship is
to know your product, to know it for
all uses and for all people, in every
weather, every time and every tide.
Scenery, Vermont quality, is ours to
sell, hence ours to know. If we know
it so that we can tell its story, we shall
be able TO entice thousands and more
thousands across continents. The citi-
zen who knows not our landscape treas

lose many sales. But all too often we
know our goods not at all except per
haps by name. Qualifying as q gen

MISSILE because it was a quiet game,
while baseball was apt to lie more or
less noisy. Holyoke contcnded that it
had right to play baseball if golf was
permitted. The law was then brought
to bear, which led to the changing Of the
law.

According to some of the building
trades associations, the high cost of
building is beginning to narrow down
to a question of which it is to be, au-
tomobiles or buildings. Automobile
manufacturers are using enormous
quantities of materials needed by
builders and paying excessive prices
for them. II is said that in plate glass
alone the makers of automobiles are
using 50 per cent of all made or i'm
ported. While it is pleasant to ride
there is still reasonable degree OF
satisfaction in having place to live.

When the winter at last
Is gone and past,
And spring in her bridal guise
To the earth comes back
And in her track
The swallow comes likewisel
When the bright clouds glow
And the duets grow
Where the brook brims over and spills
With keen delight
] behold the sight
OF the green on the April hills
When the soul of the spring
Is awake, a-wing,
And the air is soft and sweet
And the south wind knows
Where the snow drop blows
And the wind flower, vision sweet.
Then scene more bright
Enchants my sight
Than the fiagon of fancy spills,
The charm serene
OF vision green
The green on the April hills!
While the springs rebirth
! Thrills yet the earth,
Like miracle new wrought,
And the lingering show
Makes haste to go
: From the most secluded spot!
Then my heart grows fair
With rapture we share
| Ere disillusion kills.
| And the weary old Earth
Speaks in magic and mirth
| With the green on the April hllsl

Old ways Of brushing do not end film.
Millions of people know that. Teeth dis
color and decay despite the daily care.
The reason lies in film. 1t clings and
hides, and very few escape its damage.
1t is the film-coat that discolors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It
holds food substance which ferments and
forms acid. 1t holds the acid in contact
with the teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They.
with tartar, are the chief cause Of pyor-
thea. All these troubles have been con-
stantly increasing - some have grown
alarming. And all because we knew no
