Raps Extra Session
"And at the last minute In his
St. Louis speech Mr.. Hoover talks
about calling an extra session Of
congress. An extra session for
what? Under his advice. the presi-
dent of the United States vetoed
farm relief measures which were
twice passed by a republican con-
gress. He had nothing to offer In
place Of it. What has Mr.. Hoover
got to offer in place of 1t today?
II he is true to what he has always
said. he would certainly veto any
bill passed upon the principle Of the
control Of the exportable surplus.
You certainly do not think he is 60
ing to sign bill. whether 1t Is
passed at special session or q
regular session. based upon that
principle which he calls state So
cialism. II Mr.. Hoover were presi-
dent. what good then would it do
you to have him call a special ses-
sion? Ask yourselves this question.
There Is but one answer you can
possibly give. and that answer re-
quires you. If you are true to your
own convictions. II you are loyal TO
your own interests and the interest
OF your family. to follow the lead
OF Senator Norris and vote the dem
ocratic ticket tomorrow.
THE duty to vote the democratic
ticket rests not only on your own
self Interest but on your loyalty to
your homes and your families. Res
toration of prosperity to the farm Is
not a mere material thing. it in
wolves the continuance and the bet
torment OF the home and the fam
lily life of the farm, a tightening OF
the burden upon the women In the
agricultural community. The extern
sion Of the comforts of q prosper
GUS and happy family life to the
children: in short. the continuance
Of the traditional. American country
life, happy. prosperous. fruitful and
the foundation Of American pros
perity.
Closing Words
"And in closing let me give you
this word of cheer and confidence.
From every section of this country
today 7 have had reports forecast
ing a great democratic victory. The
industrial east joins with the agri-
cultural west in its desire for a res
toration Of democratic government.
I believe that tomorrow will bring
a great democratic victory and l
assure you that that victory In turn
will bring a solution OF the agricul-
tural problem that will restore pros
perity to the farm a-d promote the
welfare of the entire country"

BEAUTY How and Why
NAIL POLI6NE0 AND CLEANSING WASH
 By Ann Alysis.

Some like high polish on their finger nails, and others prefer q dull glow. Good taste dictates . not too high brilltancy.
 Upon examining your manicure case, you will find that tho polish 1t contains is in ono of three forms powder. cake or liquid. Just at present it is rather fashionable to color these preparations a bright pink or red, especially the liquid polishes which would be more cor- rectly named varntshes. The powder. cake and paste pol- ishes are generally made of one of the chemical combination of tin. since the salts of tin impart such a beautiful luster to the nails when applied to them by means of chamois buffer.
 However, If the nails show roughcned spots that need smooth- ing down, a polish made of cuttle- fish bone or pumice stone combine cd with talcum powder is best for the purpose.
 Should the nails be discolored, remove the stains by applying this cleansing wash:
