Former Governor of Iowa States
Necessity of Great Lakes Waterway

peared before the commission, Gov
-ernor Smith wrote the joint commits
sion letter attacking the project IN
which he said the New York state
commission which he controlled would
present conclusive evidence as to
the impracticability and absurdity of
the plan, which l am confident will
ultimately be defeated"
Since the point commissions in
quiry, Mr.. Hoover has lost no oppor-
tunity to urge the advancement of the
proposed Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
project. President Coolidge made
him chairman of the United States
St. Lawrence commission, upon its
appointment in 1924, to cooperate
with a similar commission named by
Canada. The report of this commits
sion, made at the end of 1926, was
Internationally favorable to the pro-
ject, as was the report of the Board
of Engineers which accompanied it.
Congress received the report from the
president early in 1927.
In his testimony before the Inter-
national Joint Commission in 1920,
Mr.. Hoover said in part: IF by the
construction of this canal it is pos
sible to secure navigation by ocean,
going ships, or even of large carriers,
to Montreal, in a period of two or
three days, it is not difficult to cal
culate that the transportation
of wheat would not exceed probably
one cent bushel or perhaps two
cents. Putting it at two cents at the
outside, there is saving of approx
mately ten cents bushel to the Am
erican farmer on his wheat reaching
Liverpool"
His report as chairman of the
United States commission compared
the costs of the routes favored by
Governor Smith and the Great Lakes
St. Lawrence project as follows:
"The reports of the U. S. engineers
estimate the cost of constructing the
Lake Ontario Hudson route at $780,
100000; the all-American route at
1851 100000 (both estimates without
interest during construction)
The net cost to the two governments
VI LIE Improvement VI IIic ~. AdWl-
ence route would be, upon the
joint engineers estimates, between
123,OOO,OOO and $148,O00,000, from
which some further reductions should
be made from further realization up
on hydro-electric power"
Mr.. Hoover recommended that
negotiations should be entered into
with Canada to agree upon the details
of the St. Lawrence project, and these
are now under way.
The situation as Governor Hard
ing proves it, is that if the
states of the great western area want
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence water
way to become reality, they do not
want Governor Smith for president.
Herbert Hoover, who has done more
to promote it than any other one
man, would be in a position as chief
executive to use the powers of his
office to bring about a beginning of
the project.

LIVESTOCK MARKETING
SCHOOL OCTOBER 1918

October II and IS have been ap-
pointed as the dates for the school in
livestock marketing practice which, it
was announced early in June, would
be held at South st. Paul for 20 to
rs boys II years of age or over in
advanced livestock clubs. The South
st. Paul Daily Reporter and the Un-
ion Stockyards company will pro-
vide funds for transportation and sub
sistence, so that the school will be
free to those attending. The boy stu
dents will be chosen from county
winners in advanced junior club pro-
jects.
The first forenoon will be spent in
visiting the stockyards and packing
plants and observing the different
marketing steps. Lectures will be
given in the afternoon on the open
competitive market and the demands
of the meat consuming public. The
second forenoon will be spent at Uni
versity Farm, where staff men of the
animal husbandry division will speak
on methods of feeding and caring for
livestock. In the afternoon at South
st. Paul such subjects as the func-
tions of livestock commission compan-
les, livestock exchanges, trader ex-
changes, cooperative sales agencies,
the Bureau of Animal Industry, and
market reporting will be presented
by representatives of these organiza-
tions. Practical questions concerning
the subjects discussed will be submit
ted at an examination which will
bring the school to a close.
Organization of the school was sug-
gested by w. E. Morris, livestock spe-
cialist of the university, as logical
step in the training of livestock pro-
ject members. So far this training
has been along production lines. Mar
keting studies are designed to sup
plement the work that has been done
in All clubs, thus giving instruction
in all phases and stages of the live
stock industry. On the extension
committee with Mr.. Morris are T. A.
Erickson, the state club leader, and
A. ]. Kittleson, an assistant club
leader. The South St. Paul COM
mittee on arrangements is composed
Of L. w. Kube, j. S. Montgomery,

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST %, 1928

The plans for the Great Lakes St.
Lawrence waterway, which is demand
ed by middle western farmers as a
partial solution of the agricultural
problem, have been advanced so far
under Herbert Hoover's consistent
support and championship that it
would be fatal to the enterprise now
to entrust it to an administration
headed by Governor Smith.
That is the assertion of former
Governor w. L. Harding of Iowa, an
nounced in pamphlet released this
week by him and entitled Increased
Farm prosperity through the Saint
Lawrence Waterway" In this Gov
ernor Harding points out that the
Democratic candidate for president
from the start has been the most
vigorous foe of the waterway, al
though at the present time he con-
veniently doesn't know whether he is
for it or against it.
Such vacillation, rooted in Cover
nor Smiths long series of acts un-
friendly to the Saint Lawrence water
way project, makes it vital for the
success of the undertaking to elect
Herbert Hoover president, Governor
Harding believes. He says there
isn't the slightest question about his
position and the valuable work he has
done to advance the Saint Lawrence
seaway as we'll as a comprehensive
system of coordinated inland water
ways, including development of the
Mississippi.
Governor Harding gives a graphic
account of the energetic efforts of
Mr.. Hoover in making the projected
route to the Atlantic probability in
stead of a vision. He also recalls
the numerous instances in which Gov
ernor Smith has registered his OPP
position to the Great Lakes-Saint
Lawrence plan, the latest of which
was his message to the New York
legislature last January.
The election of Governor Smith,
Mr.. Harding points out, would GER
tainly bring to an end the fruitful
negotiations toward the project with
Canada, which were begun following
a favorable report to Congress in
1927 by the investigating commission
of which Mr.. Hoover was chairman.
For many years the possibilities of
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence water
way have been discussed by newspap-
ers and public men of the west, and
the states between the Allegheny and
Rocky mountains are thoroughly con-
WINGED that it should be undertaken
in preference to any other outlet to
the sea. This opinion is based upon
repeated Investigations of the most
exhaustive character, and the reports
uniformly have been decided in ia
vor of the Saint Lawrence route.
Further investigation, Governor Har-
ding says, is a sure way to kill the
enterprise.
In 1920 the International Joint
Commission, composed of representa-
tives appointed by the governors of
the United States and Canada, began
hearings on the st. Lawrence pro-
ject in New York city. This was the
first formal investigation into its
feasibility, and Mr.. Hoover became
the star witness for the United
States.

Reserve Power Kept
on Hand in Srueden

1t is of course the usual thing for
city to have a few reserve reser-
voirs to guard against interruption
of the water supply, but Swedish
city has extended the principle, hav-
ing constructed two steam reser-
voirs. These are two large iron
tanks, holding a reserve supply Of
stream for the city's hydro-electric
plant. Enough Is held here to op-
crate the generators an hour or more.
The tanks are filled to within 90
per cent Of their capacity with wa
ter raised to a temperature consid-
erably above what its boiling point
would be in the open air. When
steam is drawn off more is instantly
available. A relatively small boiler
is sufficient to keep the accumulators
charged and ready for service The
Insulation is such that heat losses are
negligible even in low temperatures
outdoors. Automatic valves keep the
nresxrra ir the tanks constant.

In the annual report for 1927, Dr.
Louise Stanley, chief Of the bureau of
economics, outlines its three main
branches of wOrk-focds and nutri-
ton, economic studies and clothing
and textiles-and indicates the inves-
legations now going on in each divi-
ion. AS most Of the research work of
the bureau consists of longtime prof.
ects, the report is chiefly statement
of progress.
In the food and nutrition division
the principal lines of work are the vi
famine studies, cooperation in the prof.
ect dealing with palatability of meat,
the collection of data on the chemical
composition of foods, and the coop
erative study of household refrigera-
ton.
Dietary studies have been given es-

No man or woman can make mis-

Too much rich food creates acids
which clog the kidney pores so that
they sluggishly filter or strain only
part Of the waste and poisons from
the blood. Then you get sick. Rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation, dizziness,
sleeplessness, bladder disorders often
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage, or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, be-
gin to drink soft water in quantities;
also get about four ounces Of Jad
Salts from any reliable pharmacy and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to activity,
also to help neutralize the acids in
the system so they no longer cause
irritation, thus often relieving bladder
disorders.

cent Whitewater drink, which every
one can take now and then to help

From one point of view much of the
investigation work of the bureau of
home economics might be said to
stand between the producers of house
hold commodities and the homemaker-
consumers. Its findings often serve
as a guide to production or distribu-
ton, and at the same time may be
used by the consumer as an aid In
choice and use of household equip
ment and materials. The work is of
significance to each group in differ
ent sense.
The recently inaugurated household
refrigeration studies are good eX-
ample of the two-sided function Of the
bureau of home economics. These
studies, aided by the financial co-ep-
Grafton of manufacturers of ice and
of mechanical refrigerating units, are
aimed at obtaining facts to guide the
design and distribution policies of the
manufacturers, and also to enable the
housewife to select and operate ner
fee box or mechanical refrigerating
unit to best advantage.

show what foods are actually being

producers, and also for use in educa-

consumer through radio releases,

about good nutrition.
