HI JOHNSON and
HOOVER AGREE
ON One THING!
Both for Construction of
Boulder Dam, Vests
Biggest Project.
Times WASHINGTON Bureau.
1929 Neto York Avenue.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Hiram Johnson and Secretary of
Commerce Herbert Hoover, for years
leaders of two conflicting schools of
political thought In California, once
ivals for the presidency of the
United States, today stand united In
asking Congress to construct the
tests biggest project, the Boulder
Dam in the Colorado River.
Johnson is concentrating his en-
tire effort at this session on passage
OF the Swing-Johnson bill for con-
Gtruction of the dam.
Herbert Hoover was one Of his
strongest witnesses before the Sen
ate Irrigation committee. AS an IN
sernationally famous engineer, and
MS president of the Colorado River
Compact Commission, Hoover's YER
dict on the Colorado River carries
weight.
Hoover told the committee that a
high dam at Boulder canyon to con-
troll Hoods, store water for irrigation.
provide domestic water supply for
Los Angeles, and furnish power for
the development of the Southwest
is the one immediate need of this
generation in the Southwest.
While he supports the, contention
OF States in the upper drainage basin
OF the river that no dam should be
built until the Colorado River COM
pact, allocating water among the
States, is signed by Arizona and Cali
fornia, Hoover expressed confidence
that ratification is not far off.
Il doubt if there was as much
emotion among the thirteen original
States over ratification Of the Con-
etitution as there is among western
States over water rights said Hoo
yer.
And yet the thirteen States all
ratified within eleven years. 1t is
only three years since the compact
was completed"
Boulder dam has~ stepped to the
center of the stage in the Senate
and is generally recognized, for the
first time, as a national problem of
first magnitude.

Puzzle a. Day

In the above magic square only
the minerals from II to 26 may be
used. Each number is to be used
once only. If they are correctly
placed any row of four numbers or
any square of four numbers will
total IA.
1t is possible to secure this res
suit in 10 different ways. Ten of
these are plainly visible. They are
four rows down, four rows across,
and two rows diagonally. The puzzle
is to find the other nine ways.
Last puzzle answer:
Mrs. Dorcas lived $3.50 feet from
the village store. To solve this prob
lem simply add the two distances at
which the boys meet each other to
twice the difference between those
distances and you obtain the correct
answer Thus $50 feet plus 200
yards or 600 feet equal 1850 feet;
$50 feet - 600 feet equal $50 feet
times 2 equal 700 feet plus 1850 feet
equal 1880 feet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.--Imitat-
ing the 1ate Senator Watson OF
Georgia, Cole Blease, the senator
from South Carolina who came to
Washington with the reputation OF
a fire-eater, has started a weekly
paper. "Bleases Weekly"
1t is published in Anderson, s. c.,
but will have Washington circula-
ton, as every senator and represent
alive is on its mailing list.
The first issue was received re-
Gently by members. 1t occasioned a
good deal of interest, mixed with
some amusement. It's main feature
was a sblast against the Volstead
act.
'Tf Controlled"

ming. IF l Controlled Congress"
Il would change the Volstead act
so we could have pure beer l
do not see how anybody could be
opposed to goCd,- pure beer, for 1t is
a healthy drink.
II would abolish the Andrews par

forcement of the Volstead act and

pie who have prohibition is the poor
devil who has not the money to buy
liquor
Democrats Slipping"
Blease also declares for prison
sentences for Spectators in cotton
futures and for Federal Jim Crow
laws.
Another feature is a denunciation
of the Democrats in Congress. They
,indorse the Republican tax bill. they
indorse the Republican reorgani-
cation plan, they indorse the
Republican tariff and the Republican
plan for enforcement of the Volstead
act, and 1t seems to an old-time
Democrat they have just about
yielded all they ever fought for, In
Guiding States rights, white su-
premacy. ct cetera," he declares.

The attempt to inject the question
OF amendments may retard rechar-

Discussion arose after publication
of an article by the Secretary Of the

pire in 1884.
Woollen said there are three di-
vergent views. Some of the banks
should not be rechartered; some be-
lieve they should be rechartered 'at
once, while others believe the Fed
eral reserve act should be rechar-
tered first

BROADENS THE MARKET

While advertising has helped
millions of farm homes to great
er efficiency, it has also raised
the standards of business. II is
the word of the house to the Gus
toner. Manufacturers and dis
tributors realize that readers
must receive exactly what is
promised in advertised products.
No man of experience will put
his name or brand on inferior ar
ticles because it is plain business
suicide to advertise an unworthy
product. Hundreds of successful
businesses have grown from a
good idea, nurtured with adver-
Using. Advertising attracts new
customers, broadens the market
and quality brings repeat orders.
That is why advertising flour
ishes.
