Sioux Falls, s. D., Oct. 31.-(R-Or
a second march through the agricul-
tural northwest Senator Curtis, the
Republican vice presidential nom
inee, is talking farm relief and tar
if protection, pledging his party
to put agriculture on an equality
with all other industries. He speaks
tonight at Sioux Falls, S. D.
At Eau Claire, Wis, last night the

blocked farm relief after the war by
vetoes of the emergency tariff act
and the bill extending the life of the
war finance corporation.
He said Governor Smith had Gin
timated" he stood for the principles
of the McNary-Haugen bill, but
later had declared he had not en-
dorsed the equalization fee of that
measure, land he now proposes to
name a commission to study the
problem" The crowded auditorium
cheered when he said "You needn't
worry, for Governor Smith will not
be elected"
In his second Wisconsin visit the
Republican vice presidential nominee
made no reference to Senator La
Toilette, Republican, Of Wisconsin,
who has been silent on the national
ticket. Previously he had endorsed
him. Last night, however, he did
praise the record Of Representative
Frear Of Wisconsin, and called for
his election and the election of WAL
ter kohler, Republican nominee for
governor, who is supporting the Re-
publican national ticket.

RICE SHORTAGE
CAUSES FAMINE
Millions of Chinese Face Death
as Drought Reduces Food
Crops

Shanghai, Oct. 31.-(AP)-Ad-
vices from Canton and Hankow to-
day indicated that famine conditions
would prevail during the coming
winter in the vast central provinces
of Hupeh and Human and the South
China provinces Of Kwangtung and
kiangsi. A population of more than
one hundred million lives in this
area Of some 100000 square miles.
Famine and subnormal crops already
prevail in the provinces Of Shantung
and Chilli.
The fall rice crop in Kwangtung
was 40 per cent below normal while
that in kwangsi was 60 per cent un-
der normal. The situation in both
provinces was due to prolonged
drought. Conditions in both prov
inces were unexpected as bOuntiful
crop had been forecast.
At Wuchow, Kwangsi, the price Of
rice has risen to five cents pound
which the general populace was un-
able to pay. In addition to hunger
at Kwansgi it was reported that

The loss was estimated to be at
least $2O,O00,O00.
The rice crops in Human and
Hupeh were reported to have been
almost complete failure owing to
the seasons dryness. The condition
Of the populace was serious. The
Hankow chamber of commerce which
was attempting relief work appeal
ed to the Provincial government fol
assistance, but the government has
not acted yet. Supplies were also
being sought in other provinces.

KELLOGG PAYS
HOOVER HONOR
Says Nominee Has Grasp and
knowledge of Domestic and
Foreign Problems

Washington, Oct. 31.-(R-Secre-
tary Kellogg holds that parties must
be judged "by the result of legisla-
ton and administration" and on
such a basis believes that the Re-
publican party should be continued
at the helm of the government.
Speaking by radio last night, the
cabinet member reviewed the activ-
tiles of the Coolidge administration,
paid an enthusiastic tribute to the
character and ability of Herbert
Hoover, and, asserting that the
country is prosperous and happy
asked whether there is any reason
at this time for a change"
Hoover, Mr.. Kellogg declared, can
be depended upon to carry forward
the work of President Coolidge, and
he went on to say that tax and debt
reduction and increased foreign mar
kets for agricultural products were
achievements of the present admin
istration.
The secretary declared that Hoo
yer "knows the country from east ia
west and north to south and realizes
the special needs of the various sec.
tions." In addition to asserting that
the Republican nominee has livery
unusual grasp Of domestic prob
lems," Mr.. Kellogg attributed to him
as well "a remarkable knowledge of
our foreign commerce" He said he
considered Hoover a man particu.
larly well qualified to deal with the
development Of inland waterways
who in the event that Canada will
not cooperate in the construction Of
the proposed st. Lawrence waterway
will take vigorous action to brine
about the establishment Of an all.
