Dear Senator" is told to you by
a newspaper reporter who, as he
tells you in his story, was employed
to write pointless two or three-line
comments on the editorial page of
small town paper whose policy
was to straddle the fence on all
POLITICAL issues if there was any
danger in offending the dear public
and the advertisers.
Huston has kept out of his story
the influence of a single honest
newspaper that could have exposed
the facts to the public of which he
writes. In other words, we are con-
cerned with the keep press" only
in this story.
Using the words of Fordyce, one
Of the harmless editorial writer's on
the paper, We find the situation
summed up by him when Jim, the
editorial page aid and the teller of
the story, gets a chance to leave
the paper to get a political job
Spilling cheap bunk throughout the
state.
Fordyce says: "Sure, You'd be
joining the gang. You'd belong to
the organization. We're against it,
you and I, even if we can't write
anything. I remember better days;
and I hnger along hoping they'll
return. The men upstairs in lots
OF newspaper offices are just like
us, faithful to an idea while they
are waiting until the owners quit
being business men and decide to be
journalists for change
The outstanding accomplishment
OF Huston in his new story is not
the rotten political background, but
the chief character, Dan Meredith.
Huston has built a strong character

MRS, HOOVER
GOING ALONG TO
SOUTH AMERICA
President Elect to Remove
All High Hat in Good
Will Tour.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

PALE ALTO, Cal, Nov. 49,
President-elect Hoover hopes to es-
tablish through his Latin American
tour the neighborly custom of an
exchange of visits between the
heads of those countries and the
United States.
To that end, he will invite Off
Gals in the various central and
South American countries he visits
to come to the United States as
the guests of the nation during his
administration as President, it was
learned today.
Removes All High Hat"
These invitations will be extend
ed personally, and thus will carry
the cordially added by the personal
touch.
Hoover wants to remove all high
hat" atmosphere from his visit. He
has requested the state department
that he go as a private citizen in
stead of as official representative
Of the United States. He has decided
to take Mrs. Hoover along with him.
Mrs. Hoover will be accompanied
by her private secretary, Miss Ruth
Fessler, of Duluth, Mimi, who like
the President-elect and Mrs. Hoover,
is graduate of Stanford university.
These will be the only wom-
en- aboard the battleship Maryland.
Their presence will be contrary to
established custom in the American
navy, but exceptions have been
made.
Plans Nicaragua Visit
Hoover's iGea in inviting officials
of Latin American nations to visit
the United States while he is Presi-
dent goes beyond his own admins
tration in purpose. He would like
to see it a permanent custom for
heads of the various countries in
the western hemisphere to visit one
another, a custom of European ma
lions for centuries.
Hoover has broadened the scope
of his tour to include visit to
Nicaragua, as it was indicated sew
eral days ago by the United Press,
with his visit to Mexico.

Putting corn into a silo is the most
effective method of fighting the corn
borer, according to James Tumilty,
of the Craig umilty Company, who
spoke at the Washington township
farm bureau meeting here. The
borer situation was the center of
discussion by all who spoke. Put

USES CORN SHUCKS IN
MAKING TABLE COVERINGS

The status of the corn shuck, least
important part Of a field Of waving
corn, is to be raised and the house
wife of tomorrow may find this farm
product of great value in furnishing
an attractive living room.
Table mats, wall pieces for decor
alton, and basket trimmings may be
made successfully out of such
shucks, according to writer in tile
Farm and Fireside Magazine.
"Just a bushel of shucks and
needle" says the magazine, Shears,
thread and a pail of hot water and
your working supplies are complete.
There are five different ways to put
the shucks together. They may be
braided and the braids sewed. Sec
Ond, they may be folded into little
pointed pieces and these stitched to
buckram or cardboard to make hats
or baskets. There are other ways"
In adopting shucks to these uses
only the best colored and strongest
shucks are used. The soft textured,
creamy inside leaves are preferable
as these are fined fibred, more pill
able and because they take dye more
easily.
1t is possible with certain
amount of work, says the magazine,
to make such material one of the
most important part of a living
rooms decoration.

increased rapidly in numbers all
over western Kansas, as well as
eastern and southeastern Colorado,
as soon as farming operations COM
menced.
"In Kansas the most interesting
feature of the history of the bob
white" says this author, "is the
rapid increase in numbers after the
eighties west of the hundredth mer-
idian. This wonderful increase
went hand in hand with the increase
in pinnated grouse, or prairie chick
ems. 1t seems more plausible, how
ever, to suppose that a few birds
did really exist in favorable spots
all over western Kansas, enough to
make a rapid response as soon as
food became plentiful. 1t must be
that in this region for
many years after the advent of man,
small game was scarcely shot at all,
which gave the game birds unusual
to spread"

BOBWHITE AND PLOW-
MAN ARE MUTUALLY
VERY FRIENDLY

The bobwhite has always been a
favorite throughout the United
States, both for sport and because
of the CHEEKY call of the male,
which has enlivened those who have
had opportunity to listen to it.
AS Americans went west and got
beyond the regular range of the
bobwhite, there were efforts to
transplant it to the newer regions.
The farmer is a good friend of the
bObwhite, for cultivated fields are
more favorable than virgin terri
tory for the bird.
In a recent pamphlet issued by
the United States Department of
Agriculture the author says that in
trying to estimate how much the
introduction of bobwhites into west
ern Kansas and Colorado has had
to do with their spread westward,
one meets with difficulties. 1t
seems to be rather commonly sup
posed that ther'. no birds west of
central Kansas before agriculture
began. There is no doubt that they

A PROPHECY 2

The late Franklin K. Lane, secre-

letter to Hugo K. Asher in 1920 had
this to- say about the 1928 Republi-
can presidential nominee:
"I hear there is talk among the
business people Of setting up
third party and nominating Hoover.
Two things the president must
know-Eprope and America, Euro
pean conditions and American con-
ditions. The president of the United
States must be his own secretary
of state. We need administration
of our internal affairs and wise
guidance economically. Hoover can
give these. He has the confidence
of Europe and the confidence OF
America. He is not a Democrat,
nor is he a Republican. He voted
for Wilson, Roosevelt, and McKin-
ley. But he is sane, progressive,
competent. The women are strong
