NURING the past few months women by
the thousands wrote me about Hostess
Cakes Letters came from every state in the
Union. Many from housewives in this locality.
Three remarkable facts were emphasized.
Nearly every letter spoke in glowing terms of
these features: Hostess Cakes save half the cost
of baking at home. Hostess Cakes are always
fresh at my grocer's. Since Hostess Cakes equal
my own best efforts, it is folly not to buy them.
In these amazingly sincere letters - written
during the big nationwide Hostess Cake Prize
Contest that I conducted for the Continental
Baking Company women told of new era in
home management.
I knew that women dsliked baking cakes.
knew that they grudged the necessary time and
expense. But was delighted to discover what
host of loyal friends had been won over to
Hostess Cakes.
For an overwhelming proportion wrote that
they preferred Hostess Cakes to all other brands!
Over and over again these women stressed their
wonderful favor and texture. Time and time
again they emphasized their delight in discovering
cakes they buy in stores that are as delicious as
their very own.
And hundreds enthusiastically declared that

The cake l buy is Hostess Cake! I've
appreciated that it is the ideal dessert,
served alone or with fruit, ice cream, ices,
pudding, gelatine, sauce or other finishing
dishes. I believe, sincerely, that because of
the quality, taste, variety and freshness Of
Hostess Cake the old compliment-"like
mother used to make"-is going to give
way, in its reference to cake, to another
''the kind that mother buys"

It is economy Of both time and money to
buy Hostess Cakes instead of attempting
home.baking. I can purchase deliciously
fresh, dainty Hostess Cake suitable for any
occasion from picnic lunch to a formal
dinner, for less than it costs to make cake
at home. Moreover, when buy Hostess
Cake I am relieved of all anxiety about my
dessert. The element of chance is entirely
eliminated. Only cakes of unvarying per-
lection are ever sent out of the Hostess
kitchens, so I know beforehand just how
my cake is going to look and taste. The
mental relief is inestimable, leaving me
poised and at ease in serving my family or
entertaining guests.

The reason prefer Hostess Cake is that
it is dependable and delicious. The very
name Hostess" suggests charm, grace and
warm hospitality, necessary to successful
entertaining. The old-fashioned apology
"Had I known you were coming, I'd have
baked cake,'' is obsolete in the modern
home. Bought cake, particularly Hostess
products, will delight the most hard-to-
please guest!

FARM LABOR HIGHER

With an average demand pre-
vailing, wages for farm labor in
Minnesota are slightly higher than
they were one year ago, according
to reports from all sections of the
state compiled by Secretary J. S.
Jones, of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation at St. Paul.
Figures assembled during April
show that the average day wage
for farm hands is $2.40 per day,
compared with $2.13 one year ago
and $2.02 in April 1927. Average
monthly wages for general work
are SASS, compared with $43.62
one year ago and $43.50 in April
and May 1927. The average
monthly wage on an eight-month's
basis is $47!60 this year, as
against $48.82 one year ago and
$48 on May /, 1927.
This recession is explained in the
main by labor available from the
industrial field, released by the
closing of some factories, and
which is going onto the farms for
steady employment.
In practically all counties re-
porting, the local labor supply is
sufficient for the seasonal work Of
fered.

INCREASED TARIFF ON AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS WILL HAVE STUMBLING BLOCKS

Rudolph Lee, the able editor of the Long Prai-
RE Leader, has been sent to Washington by the
Minneapolis Journal to the special session of
Congress in its effort to pass legislation which will
relieve the agricultural conditions of the North
west
Mr.. Lee is the author of the Minnesota Plan for
farm relief sponsored by nearly 200 editors in Min
nesota, North and South Dakota The real base of
this plan is increased tariff products of agricu
ture, north, west and south
The Long Prairie journalist is sending some
mighty interesting daily letters to the Journal. He
early discovered that while it is generally agreed
that increased tariff agricultural products are
necessary it will require hard fighting to get the leg
islation necessary. The manufacturer of the East
resting in having his product amply pro-
tected does not look with favor upon increased du-
ties foodstufs.
The tariff on foodstuffs would probably in
crease the price to the ultimate consumer slightly
and the manufacturer visualize where this would
cause the employee to ask for an increase in wages
"A problem which is giving the tariff thinkers real
concern is the products shipped into this country
from the PHILIPPINE Islands Last year 5000, 900
pounds of cocoanut oil was shipped to the states
from the PHILIPPINES. This oil is used in the
facture of oleomargarine, soaps, etc., coming in d.
rect competition with butterfat lard and cottonseed
oil produced at home.
The PHILIPPINE situation is real stumbling
block. The Herald cannot see how, in justice to
an American possession, tariff can be placed
against its products Secretary of State Stimson,
who recently retired governor of the is
lands to become Secretary of State in the Hoover
cabinet, is strongly opposed to any tariff on pro-
ducts of the islands.
Another situation which is causing the Ways
and Means Committee of the House, where the
tariff bills originate, is Canada. The development
of the Great Lakes waterway is of paramount in
terest to the Northwest Canada has intimated that
if the tariff Canadian products is increased there
will be strong opposition to the Great Lakes canal
project.
The new bill provides for the following in
creases affecting the dairy industry:

st. Paul, Mimi, April 23-An
agreement on the two biggest con-
troversies of the present Legislative
session was reached Saturday when
house and senate conference COM
mittees signed reports on the
state highway refunding bill and
the educational appropriation bill.
For weeks and months there has
been speculation as to the outcome
of the controversy raging over
these measures. Last week lead
ers of the two branches tackled the
problems in earnest, but there were
bitter debates in the two bodies as
a whole as well as heated argu-
ments in committee conferences
before there was a meeting of the
minds.
All along the senate financiers,
headed by "A. ]. Rockne, have
stood for a more liberal policy
toward the University than the

which gave ear to the teachings of

PRESIDENT HOOVER FRANKLY DISCUSSES
LAW ENFORCEMENT

The people of America admire the frankness
of President Hoover in his discussion of public
questions.
Monday he was honor guest at luncheon Civ
en- by the Associated Press in New York City, April
%. The text of the address was enforcement ano
Obedience of and to the Laws of the United States
Both Federal and State"
The fact that apparently large number OF
otherwise responsible citizens have drfted into the
notion that laws made only for those who choose
to obey them, is greatly deplored by Mr.. Hoover.
The President does not take any stock in the
claim that the 18th amendment is responsible for the
reign of law-breaking. He cited facts and figures
proving that only eight per cent of the crime of the
country in the past year can be directly traceable
to the eighteenth amendment.
The following some of the highlights OF
this address which has been very favoraby CON-
mented upon by the leading press of the country
If law is wrong, it's rigid enforcement is
the surest guaranty of its repeal. If law is
right, its enforcement is the quickest method
for compelling respect for it.
Ne individual has the right to determine
what law shall be obeyed and what law shall
be enforced.
In our desire to be merciful the pendulum
has swung in favor of the prisoner and far
away from the protection of society.
The sympathetic mind of the American
people in its overconcern about those who are
IN dltlcultleS has swung too far from the fam
lily of the murdered to family of the murderer.
It is unnecessary for me to argue the fact
that the very essence of freedom is obedience
to law; that liberty itself has but one founda-
ton, and that is in the law.
A surprising number of our people, 9th
erwise of responsibility in the community, have
drifted into the extraordinary notion that laws
made for those who choose to obey them.
Our law enforcement machinery is suffer-
ing from many infirmaties arising out of tech
nicalties, its crcumlocut1ons, its involved pro-
cedures, and too often, regret, from deficient
and delinquent officials.
Twenty times many people in proper
ton to population are lawlessly killed in the
United States i'm Great Britain.
