OUR WHITE HOUSE
PEACEMAKER


President Hoover shines as q
composer of differences" If an
assault is made on a foreign minis
ter and the entire diplomatic corps
is upset by it, he smashes customs
by having the offended minister as
his dinner guest in the role of a
personal friend.
Senator Fess sought to castigate
Senator Borah for his political in
dependence. That would never do!
So to mend the break the President
had Borah for luncheon on the
Sabbath. Before he got away Fess
showed up for Sunday supper, and
then the two Senators naturally
discussed administration measures.
Result: Pax!
Cuba has played an important
part in strengthening the entente
cordial between North America and
Latin America. She set the stakes
for Mr.. Hoover's goodwill journey
last fall. Her generous and whole
hearted hospitality to Mr.. Hughes
and the American delegation at the
Pan-American Congress disarmed
criticism of Central and South Am
erica for this country's interference
in Nicaragua. She created the at
mosphere which made Mr.. Hoover's
visit a success.
Now it is known of all men that
Mr.. Hoover has visioned something
more than increasing trade with
Central and South. America. He
was no advance agent, no propagan-
dist, no advertising salesman for
American made goods on his re-
cent trip. This continent, North
and South America, should be bound
together in bonds of amity and glori-
fed self interest, until it will point
the way to all nations which wish
to live together in peace. A won
derful vision, worthy of Isaiah him
self.
Cuba is tied more closely to the
United States than any of her
neighbors. She felt keenly the
failure of Mr.. Hoover to visit her
shores when he was so close to
them. So she has invited him to
come this Fall, and he has con-
scented. One of her chief newspaper
men, M. Koenigsberg, an American
who is known to all American news
paper men, to most European news
paper men, and to many in Latin
America, was visitor at the White
House the other day to present a
formal invitation to the President
He did that and he also laid Cuba's
sugar burden on Mr.. Hoover's broad
He told the President
that the increased tariff on sugar
would cripple Cuba's sugar indus
try and would cause economic
troubles in that now depressed is
land.
AS Secretary of Commerce Mr..
Hoover learned much of Cuba's
economic development. He knew
that Americans had poured bill
lion and a half dollars into Cuba,
eight hundred million of it in the
sugar industry. He knew how
nobly Cuba responded during the
war to the call of this country for
more sugar and more sugar. He |
realized that this created an obliga-
ton on this country not to punish |
Cuba.

THE FARM TRACT0S FROM
A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
(By a Tractor Farmers Wife,

(By a Tractor Farmers Wife,
Shall we buy a car or shall we
buy tractor? That was the ques-
ton to be decided. The younger
members of the family wanted a
car; the men folks needed the trac-
tor. well, Mother, what is it to
be-" 1 was asked. Then 1 replied,
"a tractor has to come on this farm
before a car. A tractor will soon
earn car, but will a car earn a
tractor at farm work?"
So, in the spring of 1928, 1880
arrived; also plows and a seeder. 1
had a splendid opportunity to see
the advantage of seeding as one
plowed, owing to the field being
close to the house. The seed was put
into the ground at the time the fur
rows were turned. No moisture dried
away before the seed found its rest
ing place. The even way the seed
terminated and the even stand of
each field shows undoubtedly what
a good investment we made. The
crop ripened evenly, so a tractor
binder cut it.
Think of the time saved to the
men folks by not having to chase
horses around the small pasture at
4 A. M, and one horse very artful
and scampering off just when he
was needed. I used to help catch
this fellow. He was gentle as lamb
when once a rope was on his neck,
but how he disliked the idea of be-
ing caught. Now 1 am able to util-
ize that time for other work.
My son and husband have been
running the tractor and binder and
have then stopped and stocked the
sheaves. Hired extra help has not
been needed. So less work again
for the farmers women folks. The
tractor will not only pay for itself,
but has also earned the long-wanted |
car as the increase in the yield of
grain is undoubtedly due to tractor
methods.
The time that used to be spent in
taking the horses to and from the
pasture can now be counted as 1eis-
IRE time in which to enjoy drive
in the car.
Yes, I am very glad the tractor
came to this farm as I can daily see
more and more of its good qualities.

Do6R
THE LIFE OF A HOUSE

How long will your house wear?
How much should you set aside each
year for depreciation? These are
questions affecting every house
owner and renter. If house wears
out fast owing to rapid depreciation,
then the family that rents it must
pay a considerable charge each
year to offset the deterioration, and
the house owner also suffers.
The National association Of Real
Estate Boards estimates that one
family dwellings have an average
period of usefulness of so years, but
average frame buildings have a life
only of SO years. This short life is
said to be due not so much to the
fact that houses wear out, as that
new ideas in construction come on,
or the cities change, so that the
time comes when the building can
not be proftably sold or rented.
Some people may claim that the
average house will wear longer than
this, and that they personally know
of many houses that are so years
old which with care should be good
for so or more additional. Still,
great amount of cheap building has
been done during recent years, and
the average house is not going to
wear as long as formerly. The
time comes when a poorly built
house needs so many repairs, that
it seems better policy to tear down
the whole thing and build new
one with the latest modern improve
ments, and avoid the repair costs |
for number of years.
The somewhat rapid depreciation |
Of many houses should be sugges-
ton to all our folks in Milford who
building, that it does
not pay to skimp too much. You
may save $500 or $1,000 by cutting
Town costs here and there, but if
you put in a distinctly cheap con-
'truction, the depreciation may be
10 fast that the economy is ficti-
ious. Substantial building pays
pest in the long run.

AIDING AGRICULTURE TALK

Recent years have seen the de-
velopment of vast system for i'm
proving conditions on the farms and
making agriculture more prosper
GUS. There are now employed some
thing like $500 agricultural county
agents, about 1000 home demonstra-
ton agents, some $50 paid leaders of
boys and girls agricultural club
work, and about 1000 specialists in
the various branches of agricul-
ture and home economics.
Here we have vast system the
purpose of which is to train the
farming population to use the best
modern knowledge. A vast amount
of useful information is being dis
tributed through this educational
machinery, and the farmers and
their families should take all posi-
BILE advantage of it.
Farming is laborious work, and
many farmers are so busy and driv-
en- with their daily toll, that they
lack time apd energy to study the
scientific and technical aspects of
their business. They are often so
busy attending to something that
needs to be done right away, that
they fail to take advantage of help
full lectures and demonstrations.
The farmer who is too busy to
spend a little of his time each sea-
son in learning the best methods,
will probably always be little be-
hind the game.
The farmers wives formerly had
an extremely laborious lot, but the
system described above for demon
strating the best methods Of farm
home management has done much
to tighten these burdens. Labor
saving devices in farm homes will
do still more. Farmers will never
get anywhere by overworking their
wives, and they should take pains
to see they too get the advantages
of all this training offered by the
federal and state agriculture de-
partments.
Milford chronicle., 1929-05-24
PROMOTING BUSINESS
CONFIDENCE

81 am sure those goods must be
all right, because they are adver-
tised so thoroughly"
Remarks like that are constantly
being made. An article that is thor
oughly advertised commands the
public confidence. People believe it
must be all right, or lot of money
would not be spent in pushing it.
They would argue that business con-
Germs could not afford to use their
money to push articles that are I'M
desirable. They would save all
their advertising money for goods
the full value of which had been
demonstrated.
That truth applies both to specific
articles that are widely advertised
by the producers, and which would
scarcely ever be heard of if it were
not for such advertising, and it
also applies to the retail stores that
are Trying " ODI1lh q AaA SCI 0hoAN
of trade.
When a concern adyertises freely,
the people have faith in it. They
feel that the particular goods adj
vertised must be what they are
claimed to be, or the store would
get so much returned merchandise
as to ruin its business. Also that
such a policy of store advertising
is the natural development of bus
mess which has gone at the buying
and selling proposition in the most
thorough and intelligent way, so
hat the concern feels absolute con-
idence that it is offering goods at
ow prices for the values given.
Such advertising shows a willing
ness to stand behind all promises
made in the public prints.
Feeling that way about the ad-
1ertised stores, people flock to them,
ind their business. increases, and
he greater volume enables them to
make lower prices than when they
started their advertising.

MRS. HOOVER'S SHADOW

After having practically decided
to dispense with the secret service
man detailed to accompany the First
Lady in public, Mrs. Hoover has
been prevailed upon to accept the
services of two. However, they will
work in 12-hour shifts and only one
will shadow" her at a time. Mrs.
Harding was the first presidents
wife to be so guarded. She asked
for it. Mrs. Coolidge had a favorite
operative who took long walks with
her in the Black Hills, until Presi-
dent Coolidge blamed him for MAX
ing the First Lady tardy at meals
and sent him back to Washington
post haste. One of the last ges-
lures of Mrs. Coolidge on leaving
the White House was to single out
this same operative in the group
which watched the departure and
personally thank him for his SER
vices.
A secret service guard is needed
by the wife of the president not so
much to guard her from bodily harm
as to protect her from annoyance
while in public. Sophisticated Wash
ingtonians could be counted on not
to bother the First Lady, but out
siders have been known to stop the
presidents wife on the street and
try to interest her in some pet idea.
No matter how good-natured and
considerate a First Lady is, she can
not give ear to every person who
wants it. Hence the guard.
The First Lady is Swallowed on
all occasions. The guard follows
her into the # street stores wnel {
she shops and into the Connecticut
avenue salon where she has her hair
done" He is at her side at all
times in public. The operative thinks
nothing of rushing back to the
White House with the First Lady so
he can change into "soup-and-fish"
in order to accompany her to for
NAL affair. While at the White
House he must always hold himself
in readiness for the First Lady to
go out.-The Pathfinder.
