As q result OF the abnormal potato

By c. c. Wentz. director Of the Eio
Grande Valley Potato Growers asso-
citation, AZ the annual meeting Of the

day.
Mr.. Wentz called attention to the
fact that three-fourths of the Valley
crop sold at 3 cents or better, and
that All OF the remainder, except 100
cars placed ia storage, bSought
around 2 cents.
while the abnormal production
has effected thousands OF growers in
the east, west and south, it will
prove beneficial to the alley and
southern Florida, the earliest pro-
ducing sections" Mr.. Wentz said.
Last season thousands of south
crn and western farmers were IT.
duced 70 plant potatoes; they will
not plant them next year. believe
the Valley and southern Florida will
have little competition, but do not
recommend an acreage increase"

WANDERLUST

Some people have fixed impulse
to wander aimlessly. Children show
this trait at an early age. A GER
tain proportion of them are always
running away, and having to be
found by the neighbors or the po-
lice.
From time immemorial boys have
run away from home. Girls get the
fever, and the first their parents
know they have shown up many
miles from home. Many men take it
into their heads all at once to des-
ert their families and go off long
way, often doing just the same work
they did at home.
According to an article in the
Journal Of Heredity, the typical
wanderer acts on impulse. He may
not have had any grievance at home
but he suddenly took it into his
head that he wanted to go off some
where else. Parents who discover
this trait in their children should
reason it out of them at the earliest
possible age.
SoS
ALL INTERESTED in the pro-
gress of our community need to con-
slider that our school year is about
beginning, and we all have an inter-
est in its success. Improved
schools are one of the biggest fac
tors today in holding and drawing
population and winning substantial
and intelligent people. People will
take a lot of trouble to obtain a
residence in community having
specially good schools.
School boards and teachers can
not alone and unaided create
schools of the highest quality. They
must have the cooperation Of par
ents, taxpayers, and citizens. The /
people must back up modern educa-
tional ideas.

STRAIGHT SLANTS
FROM EDITORIALS

Secretary Hoover refused to kiss a
baby the other day in Nevada, which
places his campaign somewhat
above the level of the usual run of
candidates.-Montpelier Argus.
Hoover admirers among the wo-
men are not making much noise
about it but their determination to
so to the polls for their candidate is
expressed by one woman, "I'm going
to vote for Herbert Hoover if l
have to be taken to the polls in a
wheel chair."-Springfield (Mass.)
Union.
Mr.. Hoover will not ride under
camoufaged colors even if that
might encourage the bolt in the
South. If there is sincerity in the
prOffers of the anti-Smith element
in any Southern State, the dissent
ers must have the courage of their
convictions and take the Republican
candidate as he is.-Philadelphia
Bulletin.
Mr.. Hoover not only is American
in every fiber, but he is one of those
who knows and can tell why he is
an American. Any whose concep-
tiOns of partisanship tempt them to
question his mental status reason
ably may be asked to look into
their own minds and see if they are
equally prepared to tell why they
are Americans.-Buffalo News.
Herbert Hoover has been consist
emily loyal to President Coolidge
and President Coolidge has been
and is loyal to Herbert Hoover. Mr..
Coolidge, in his own way, will give
aid to the candidacy of Mr.. Hoover.
The friendship and loyalty that has
existed between these two great
men will continue.-Pasadens Call

Herbert Hoover, the Republican
for the presidency is pri-
marily a mining man. The fame he
has so justly attained rose from
mining foundation. AS a thinker,

place in our national life that makes
him a great asset to this country,
no matter to what political party he
pledges allegiance. The Qualiflca-

who presented his name to the Re- |

SAYINGS OF
HERBERT HOOVER

You can't be a gutter.
Leadership Is a quality of the in
dividual.
America must remain American
youthful, eager, unfettered.
The first duty is work. This is
not cheerless outlook. 1t presup-
poses gongenial effort.
Izaak Walton did not spend his
major life answering a bell.
1t Is the individual alone who can
function in the world Of intellect
and in the field of leadership.
This civilization is not going to
depend upon what we do when we
work so much as what we do in our
time off.
There were lots of people who
committed crimes during the year
who would not have done so if they
had been fishing.
At one time the whole of our ma
tional activities were simple enough
to be conducted by a man of general
education. Today our leaders must
be experts.
The raw material of truth is
facts. Statistics are not mental ex-
ercises; they are the first step to
right decisions, to enlightened ac-
ton, to progress itself.
Youth today is pulling at the
traces as never before, it is true,
but it is also willing to pull load.
Its eagerness contains a more ear
nest desire than ever to be of ser
vice.
Youth is more sure of itself-sur-
er perhaps than at any time in the
worlds history-but it is a sureness
that carries with it determination
to justify itself.
Youth must ever be the bearer of
progress, and youth should never
out of fealty to tradition fall into
the mood that change is undesir-
able. Youth should look upon
change with cold detachment Much
change is proposed in the name of
progress which is mere emotion.
Milford chronicle., 1928-08-31
YOUTH AND ADVERTISING

Fifty years ago boys and girls
were adept at weaving rag rugs,
knotting quilts, carding wool, spin
ming homespun and stretching car
pets. Today boys and girls know
the entire abe of the automobile, the
electric household utensils, the
steam heat system, the aeroplane
and the radio. But the youth of to-
day knows little of what constitut-
ed the store of knowledge Of the
youth of yesterday.
The omnisclence of youth in every
era is ever amazing, but that of to-
day would be inexplicable but for
one thing more than all others.
That is advertising. In the newspa-
pers, magazines and poster boards
children are finding a vast store
house of practical and useful infor-
nation and instruction. The value
of this incidentally acquired know
ledge can not be measured in class
room hours. The youth of America
is finding that advertising pays it.
Psychologists have expounded the
theory that truths are sometimes
observed first by the adolescent. In
the case of advertising it may-truth-
fully be said that there are some of
mature age who have not yet learn
ed the value of advertising. Adver-
tisers do not buy newspaper, mag
azine and billboard space for the ed
ification Of the public, either juve-
nile or adult, but they recognize the
children Of today are not only a
potent factor in the business of to-
day but the deciding factors in the |
business of tomorrow.
