SAVE MIR. HOOVER FROM HIS FOOL
 FRIENDS.

The most deadly foes of Mr Hoovers Presi- politicians and foolish old women, male and female who think or pretend to think that Gov. Smith is not a nice man. and ought to be de- feated because he refuses to recognize the Vol stead Act as sacred and because he was reared on the East Side of New York among the work ingmen of that great workingmen's city If ques- tions of Gov Smiths integrity industry, clean liness good citizenship, general education and self-acquired culture his family and family rela- tions his personal record and the good faith of his political actions, made the issues there is not the slightest doubt but that Gov. Smith will emerge from the contest victorious
 The course of the whispering eampaigners and political preachers who are never regardful o1 facts in any sort of a discussion, is insulting to the intelligence of the American people and the stlwart stature of Mir Hoover who is en- titled to have campaign made on his record rather than on false-work built about the record of New York's great Governor. It is an insult them on the assumption that they ignorant intolerant and bgoted, and may be influenced through enyious hates and prejudiees rather thar through reason. And it is insult to the wortf of Mr. Hoover to assume that his claim to th' Presidency is so precarious that it must be sup ported by efforts to deceive the people to tn worth of his opponent

Urge for Wider Roads.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 This is the age of motor traffic The future must provide wider roads throughout the Nation
 recent discussion of the road situation in Rochester N. Y, by experts disclosed that the conclusion after discussion of the highway situa- tion with traffic authorities in centers of popu- lation strung a third of the way across the con tinent, is that the urge for wider motor ways is not local manifestation-it is national and international impulse.
 From the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Seaboard and probably from the river West to the Pacific it is said that of the most im- portant problems in the States and in the com munities is to be roads and more roads, wider roads and uninterrupted, unintersected roads.
 These roads will make for the progress and power of the Nation. We have the men and ma terials necessary for their constructon-we have to import neither. Think what they will mean to inland commerce, to pleasure-what they would mean in the event of war; these great through arteries of trade and travel
 Cities must widen the road approaches to their communities. The age has changed The de- mand for wider roads is insistent. Safety de- mands it. National prudence demands it. The welfare and glory of the Nation demand it.

No Muckraking.
(Cordoya Times. ]


 It is announced from both political camps at Washington that far the leaders are con cerned this will not be campaign of personal abuse. This is a state devoutly to be wished, and it is hoped that the good intentions of the heads of the two great parties will be followed out by the lesser lights on down the line. After all political campaigns are questions of prin. cpe rather than of personality. Persons may die and eventually be forgotten but principles, if based truth, imperishable.
 It is of course impossible to keep the person. alties of the national candidates out of the pie ture Each of them may have qualities which will attract to him voters who base their suffrage on the personalities of the candidate. There can be no criticism of this and it is right and proper that the qualifications of the various candidates be weighed carefully to how they measure LID for the positions to which they aspiring But mud throwing with similar evil prac- tlces which crop up now and then in campaigns | is far different matter. It is not only degrad- ing 10 American politics but it blinds the pub- 1 lie vision to the real issues in the campaign

RURAL WEATHER LORE IS ERE

Intelligent farmers nowadays are not greatly interested in predictions in almanacs or in other long-range fiction. according to Dr. w. J. Hum phreys, of the Weather Bureau. They rely on official reports by radio and on their observa- not place reliance many of the old signs '' particularly of those that supposed to fore cast one season from occurrences in the previous 
 But. Dr. Humphreys says that many of the sayings in regard to the weather that have been handed down from generation to generation based many observations and often reliable. For example he says warning of value but not highly reliable is embodied in the

 "A pretty good guess" is to be found in:

On the other hand, if there is dew in the morning it is almost certain that either the sky was couded or that there appreciable wind, both; and both, as a rule preeede general rainstorm by to 12 or even 24 hours according to cir cumstances.
 Consequently Dr. Humphreys says there il much reason back of the two proverbs:
