At the beginning Of the season

low price caused many Of the smals

Gus in their work. When the price
advanced to 81 these trappers got

the catching is at its best, this years
catch has fallen below that OF last

Buyers are now paying from s1.3g

the limit of the price for this year,
though il seems more likely to go up

NEW YORK. March Herbert
Hoover, new Secretary Of Com
mcrce. is better known throughout
the world today than any living
American with the exception OF
Woodrow Wilson.
When the war broke out Hoover
was a stranger to most folks. But
with one jump he landed in the
center of tSe worlds spotlight
when. as food administrator Of the
United States and head OF the relief
work for the stricken countries Of
Europe. he began to exert a tre-
mendous gastronomic influence on
a great part of the earth's popula-

first began to think about food. In

Ia His father was a blacksmith.
his mother a preacher in the Quak-

Orphaned when he was TO, Hoov-
er went to Newburg. Ore. to live
with an uncle. Here he worked his
way through high school and later
through Stanford University.
At college Hoover tried a walters
Job. He didn't like it and carved
out a Job for himself by being ap-
pointed college agent for a laundry,
on a commission. Vacations he
spent with geological surveys and
in other educational work.
Hoover graduated as mining engi-
neer at 21. Then he went 10 work as
miner at 81 a day for practical
experience. And got It.
The lure of the wild was Hoover's
system, and after he married Miss
Lou Henry. a classmate at Stanford,
in 1899, he set out with his bride TO
see the world-and incidentally TO
continue his engineering work.
Hoover has treSked the African
