Mr.. Hoover, who now looks like
the one best bet of the Republican
party as the nomisee f.. president,
has clearly demonstrated in the past
that he is a man of vision and re-
markable executive ability. Red
tape is the governments way of 10
ing things. Mr.. Hoover's way is d.
rectly opposite. He thinks quickly
and gets his decisions into action
before it's too late for the desired
results. In his visions he sees the
great advantages to the c,untry in
the Colorado river dam. He not
only believes in the Great Lakes
=. Lawrence waterway, but he
hoys the people in actual figures,
ny it should be constructed at the
very earliest opportunity. Mr. Hoov-
-er wants quick action in food con-
troll along the Mississippi river. He
wants the conservation of salmon in
the Alaskan rivers and the develop
NEST of our navigable streams.
Herbert Hoover's record of service
while in Office is just as successful
in the foreign fields as in the United
States. If there is a bigger man
for president we don't know who he
is.-Albert Lea Tribune.

From all parts of the country we
have been noting complaints regard
ing fake clipping bureaus. They get
hold of local newspapers and then
write persons whose names they
note in its columns that they will
send an interesting news item from
some paper (never giving the name
of the paper) for % cents. They
violate no law for they really send
the clipping as promised-but it is
a pretty good idea just to drop the
