Herbert Hoover

If Herbert Hoover were llorni-
mated and elected President Of the
United States, he would take Of
flee on March 4, 1929.
This means that those who have
raised the question Of his inteligi-
bility on the ground that the
President must have resided with
in the United States for at least
fourteen years, cannot go back
beyond March 4, 1915.
At that time Mr.. Hoover was in
Europe. He had gone there two
years previously to promote the
Panama Pacific Exposition, a
purely American enterprise. He
had been caught in London when
the war broke out, and had be-
come head of the American relief
commission, which assisted 100000
citizens of this country to get
home. Soon after this he had
been made chairman of the Bel
GUM relief commission.
In other words, the business
that took Mr.. Hoover to Europe
in 1913, and that kept him there
until 1915, was either of American
origin or in connection with hui
manItarian enterprises in which
America played a leading part.
1t would be curious, indeed, If
a native-born citizen Of the
United States were barred from
the presidency because such en-
terpriseS called him out Of the
country temporarily.

E. e. Spafford, national COM
mander of the American Legion,
elected at the Paris convention,
apparently has started his admin,
istration by stepping forward with
the wrong foot, with announce
ment that the Legion and. Aux
iliary will take a nation wide poll
to determine sentiment on the
prohibition law. He may still have
in mind the way in which liquor
flowed during the Paris meeting
or he may even be thinking of
the easy manner in which it can
be procured in his home State,
New York (for that matter in
any State in the Union), but that
does not warrant the Legion get

muddled prohibition question.
The fact that Mr.. Spahord

Of his address outlining the plan
was sent the various newspapers,

The Rules

The Rules
1. The idea of letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, given number of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only one let
ter at time.
8. You must have a complete
word, of common usage, for each
jump. Slang words and abbrevia-
tons don't count.
4. The order of letters cannot be
changed.

Fail to.CatCh Criminals

1t is desirable to make thorough
and exhaustive studies of how to
deal with criminals after they
have been brought to book, but
the first task is to catch them.
That is the one thing we ara
not doing in the United States.
That is the one thing which,
more than any others, temptS the
boy and girl, to trifle with law.
That is the one thing which in
spires adventurous minds to look
on law breaking as more OF a
game than a sin.
That is the one thing which
which makes other aspects of the
penal system seem inconsequential.

The idea of her aerial journey from Detroit to

scarcely less Importance than that Of her hero son.
both visits being clearly regarded by the people Of
Mexico in the light of manifestations of good will
from one nation to another
If doubt exists that such is the case one has only
to read Of the stupendous enthusiasm which Lindy's

AS long blind and foolish State Department

How should tulips, narcissus and

early spring blooming?
Cover the bulbs to the top and
press the soil firmly around. Water

that they will be out of reach of

cellar or room until the bulbs have.

binary conditions will require five
or six weeks. When the pots be-
come well filled with roots, the more
the better. they are ready to be
brought into the house. For the
first few days at least the temper
allure should be moderate and even,
and the atmosphere not too dry.
Water freely but not to excess. On
cold nights the plants should be
removed from exposed places where
they are liable to freeze and when
the flowers appear they should not
be allowed to stand in the direct
rays of the sun shining through a
window.

To the Editor:
Many people seem to think Mrs.
Ruth Snyder should not be put to
death for having committed brutal
murder with Judd Gray.
My Bible says, in Gen. 1876,
Whose sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be shed?"
In Lev. 24;21 we find: HE that
killeth a man, he shall be put to
death"
Numbers 1915 states: "The muir
derer shall be put to death"
Seems to me that the Bible has
not much mercy for the murderer.
MRS. J. F. SMITEIEY.
To the Editor:
In the Liberty Magazine, issue Of
Sept. 3, 1927, there was an article
published by one Norman S. Hall,
entitled Law VS.. Whisky in In
diana" This is one OF the most dis
graceful articles published in In
diana or in fact any other State.
This is an article against prohibi-
ton and in favor Of whisky and the
saloon. was amazed and disguised
at the whole tone of this article,
and especially to think that the
Governor of Indiana should allow
himself, wife and children to be
photographed to make a showing in
favor Of whisky, but owoing to re-
cent developments involving the
Governor, am not SO amazed but
disguised to think that the Governor
of the great intellectual and educa-
tional State of Indiana should
prostitute his Office and State to help
the whisky crowd fight prohition.
This whole article in the whisky
and saloons friend, Liberty, is as
false as could be written.
Just to think that group of al
legged doctors could do nothing for
the Governors sick wife but pour
whisky into her, and then claim
that whisky saved her life. This is
a shameful disgrace to the medical
profession to the State of Indiana,
and also disgrace to the Gov
ernor's household, and really
worse disgrace than the one that
now clouds the Governor and the
State of Indiana.
The facts are, and is we'll known
that whisky is not a medicine, nor
a remedy and is not fit for q bever-
age. Many, great many of the
leading doctors of the world, but
especially in the United States, will
say that whisky never. saved the
life of any sick person, but rather
did harm. Practically all respectable,
reputable doctors in the United
States have abandoned the use of
whisky in their practice for any
purpose. There are however a large
number of alleged doctors who are
willing to be practically bootleggers
end use and prescribe whisky re-
CARELESS of results, and all these al
legged doctors are aiding the booze
gang, the vets to fight prohibition.
These alleged doctors who are so
helpless in the Governors mansion
and who could do nothing but pour
whisky into the helpless victim, are
far and away behind the times ard
they did as was done by alleged
doctors eighty years ago, and they
should not further disgrace the hon
orable medical profession by using
whisky instead of medicine.

DIRECTIONS FOR

In setting hen the first thing is to
arranged that the front can be closed
and the hen shut onto the nest. Tho
nesting material may be of fine has
or straw There should be sufficient
nest nearly fiat, little lower in the
center.
See that the hen has been brOody
and stays on her nest Two or three
days before she is given her new nest,
and always move her at night. Put her
carefully on the nest. For the first
"a hours close the front of the box
After day or two, according to the
nest, remove the nest eggs and give
her from eleven to thirteen eggs, ac-
cordlng to the season Of the year.
After the first "a hours see tlfit the
lien leaves the nest at least once a
day for food and water. Whole corn
makes the best feed. Keep q dust box
In the pen. Keep grit and fresh wa
ter before them at all times.
Set several liens at a lime If pos
slble, as the eggs can be tested about
the seventh dry. Remove the eggs
that do not show good germ. Take
the eggs from one hen and replace
these ana start her ON fresh eggs.
Always give the lien busting with
some good lice powder before placing
the eggs under her, and sprinkle =
good quantity in the nest material.
Give her busting again in ten days
ana also another busting few days
before the hatch is due.-E. J. Peter

Cleanliness Essential

Next to proper feeding there Is
nothing so essential in growing chicks
to vigorous, profitable layers and
breeders as cleanliness. lie sure the

to the hogs. BE sure the troughs pr
boards that the wet mash Is fed on
