Worthy Youths.

BIZ United Press

the proceeds from Americas most
famous dollar watch will go toward
educating worthy youths.
That became known when the
will of Robert H. Ingersoll, the
dollar watch king" who died in
September, was filed for probate
Friday.
The will provided that a founda-
ton, to be known as the Robert
and Roberta Ingersoll Foundation" !"
be established to aid worthy boys
in obtaining an education either in
college or university. This can not
be established for a year, because
of the difficulties of settling the

HOOVER SCOFFS
AT WARNING ON
Diet AND WORK
Rugged Constitution Stands
Strain of Heavy Task
of Campaign.
BY PAUL.R. MALLON
United Press Stan Corresp0ndent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-Her-
bert Hoover is breezing through the
strenuous physical eXertions OF a
presidential campaign without doc
tors, diets or exercise.
Living upon the rugged constitu-
ton he built up as a young engi-
neer in the wilds of Australia,
China and the West, the Republican
presidential nominee is defying all
health rules for candidates.
His family is somewhat disturbed
about the situation and urgent de-
mands have been made by his ad-
visers that he get away from his
desk to go fishing. He persistenly
has declined to do so.
Hoover always has eaten faster
than the average man. He eats
anything an deverything. He has
laughed at friends who told him to
watch his food.
Keeps No Physician
He has not consulted a physician
since his nomination and this in the
face of the old custom that every
presidential candidate should carry
a private physician with him
wherever he goes.
And he appears to grow MOI
robust with each day.
Family and friends believe they
can prevail upon him to take the
postponed fishing trip the latter
part of next week. The nominee,
however, believes the prospects of
fishing become more remote with
each passing day.
Representative Nicholas Long
worth, speaker of the House, was
delayed yesterday and planned to
call upon Hoover today.
Arrangements have been COM
pleted for Hoover's Newark trip
next Monday. The nominee will
leave here by special train over the
Pennsylvania Railroad at $50 a. m.
arriving in Newark at 1880 p. m. He
will lunch with Senator Walter E.
Edge and New Jersey leaders, taking
a motor trip in the afternoon.
Ignores HanSbr0ugh
Headquarters will be established
at a hotel where the nominee will
remain over Monday night, motor
ing Tuesday across the entire State
to Trenton, N. j., to catch the train
back home Tuesday afternoon.
No further comment was forth
coming from headquarters concern
ing the charges of Henry c. Hans
brough, former North Dakota Sem
ator, who has written two letters
to Hoover challenging him to stop
the whispering campaign"
George Akerson, secretary of the
nominee. issued a statement late
yesterday, accusing Hansbrough of
making his letters public before
Hoover had a chance to read them.
Hovoer does not answer such let
ters, Akerson said.

hurled against the wall sof the brick
factory. Then the core Of the
twister struck.
Plant Roof Blown OFF
The roof Of the three-story furni-
ture plant was carried away; the
north wall crashed with a great
roar. and floor by floor the factory
building collapsed, trapping ter
rorized workmen in a mass Of steel
and brick.
The Union Furniture Company,
the Elco Tool Company and ap-
proximately 100 residences also lay
in the narrow path of the storm.
All either were demolished or badly
damaged.
The tornado whipped out of the
industrial section Of Rockford into
neighboring rural district.
More than two square miles of
wire cables and poles were broken
and twisted. Communication vir-
tually was impossible, and it was
difficult to determine the extent of
damage in surrounding farm COM
munities.
TOrrentiaI Rain Follows
The fury of the storm passed ir
a moment, only to be followed by a
torrential rain, which flooded the
streets and hampercd all efforts dt
rescue. Water was knee deep in
many places of the devastated Sec
tionS.
Frantic relatives flocked to the
scene of the tragedy. The names of
missing persons were cried out in a
confusion of people who rushed
against a hastily drawn police line
in an effort to reach the scene
where rescue crews already were at
work.
All available police and firenlen
worked through the night, many OF
them soaked by the downpour Of
rain. Scores of volunteers were Or
ganized into work shifts soon after
the twister had passed and before
the deluge of rain had subsidized.
Schools Spared Lost
Severed public schools were in the
storm territory, but were spared the
lash of its greatest intensity. Chill
dren who we're leaving the school
buildings rushed back, frightened by
the wind and darkness, just before
the storm broke. They were saved
from the flying debris which, mo-
ment later, was hurled through the
streets.

merce through its president, Walter
e. Burwell, issued an appeal to
Rockford residents to raise a fund

lies.

MULCH PAPER NOW CON- SERVES SOIL MOISTURE
 AND KEEPS WEEDS AWAY

MILWAUKEE.-Red radishes and green peas, everything that goes to make up a vegetable garden-and not one weed from spring to the time frost arrives.
 And, best of all, no hoeing.
 This is the utopia that Milwaukee amateur gardeners face this year, thanks to the advance of agricultural science.
 When gardeners buy their seeds they may also purchase "mulch pa per-" which is the newest wrinkle in gardening. This heavy, waterproof paper is placed on each side of the rows of vegetables. keeps the weeds; from getting a start and conserves soil moisture, making use of the hose unnecessary
 Other gardeners cut small holes III the paper and place it on the seedbed just as the vegetables are breaking through the ground. This is consid- cred even more elective in checking weeds.
 Experiments last year with grow ing vegetables "under paper" were so successful that demasd for the special mulch paper has swamped Milwaukee seed dealers.
 Another thing which has caused the new method to spread so rapidly is the stimulating ecect it has on plant growth and productiveness.
 Beans and tomatoes grown by this method have in some cases doubled their yield, and almost every vege- table thrives beyond it's usual produc- tiveness.
 In addition, the growing season has been moved from 200 to 300 miles further north for vegetables tender to the cold.

DOLLAR PANS ARE FOUND
 ON BEDROCK TENDERFOOT
 CREEK, FAIRBANKS SECTION
Fairbanks News-Miner.)

One dollar pans at 155 feet to bed rock is the report from Tenderfoot creek, where J. Pontella has just com pleted his shaft. The news sent number of men on a small stampede, but as the whole creek is an old prop osition, having been worked both above and below IT, where the pres .ent strike is reported, there seems to be little to interest stampeders. The striks is in creek pay, but it is possi- ble that new sources of pay will be developed as the result of this dis covery.
 Local citizens say that an old creek is coming back. They point to the fact that there are number of gold bearing creeks in that vicinity, and dollar pans are not found every day. Pontella had mined his ground for some time and recovered good money. Water troubles caused him to sink a new shaft at point where he figured he could hit bedrock without meeting too much water but where he would meet gold, according to his calcula- tions. That is what [ ranspired, and the North is more than thrilled with the story of the long line of gold around the edge of the pan. The paystreak has not been completely crosscut as yet, according to report, but gives promise of being an exten- sive one.
