LAST OF BITTER
FOUR IN HOOVER
CAMP AIGN out
Work, Donovan, Willie
brandt and Mann Shorn
of Party Power.

By Scripps-H oi1ard Newspaper Alltawce
WASHINGTON, June while
Washington speculated today on DR..
Hubert Works successor as Repub-
lican national chairman, political
observers saw significance In the
fact that his resignation marks the
exit from the Hoover political FAM
lily Of the four figures around whom
bitter and controversial issues
surged during the presidential CAM
paign.
The three, who preceded him,
were Colonel William J. Donovan
whose Wetness and religion led or
ganized drys to protest against his
selection as q cabinet member;
Colonel Horace Mann, whose Sug-
| gestions for southern G. o. P. re-
organization antagonized Work and
other prominent Republicans, AID
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
whose religious speeches in the CAM
paign won her the enmity of many
people in all parties.
President to Lead
Works resignation is also taken
to mean that the President plans &c
be the actual as we'll as titular head
OF the party. This does not mean
that he will try to attend to political
details, but it is believed that shap-
ing of party politics will be in his
hands more than has been the Gus.
tom in recent years. For that rea-
! son he is expected to name some-
BODY close to him as national chair
man.
Many predicted that Walter H.
Newton Of Minnesota, who is now
serving as secretary to Hoover, may
be chosen. Newton's service in
congress and in several campaigns
| as head of the speakers bureau, it
was pointed out, may commend him
to Hoover. When he left congress
to become political aid at the
White House. there was talk that
the Craftsmanship or a cabinet post
would eventually fall to him.
Westerner May Get Job
Ralph Williams, Oregon national
| chairman, is also mentioned. Com
paratively few fasteners names
have been heard, though Represents
tative Franklin Fort, New Jersey,
and Daniel Pomeroy, national COM
mitteeman of same state, are be-
ing discussed. The impression is
general, however, that the President
would like his new leader to come
from beyond the Mississippi, and to
have more influence with progress
sives than recent chairmen have
shown.
With the departure of the four
campaign figures, the big three" in
the Presidents household now con-
sists of James w. Good of Iowa.
secretary of war; Walter F. Brown
of Ohio, postmaster-ge general. and
James Francis Burke of Pittsburgh.
The latter is general counsel of the
national committee. and has main
tanned Offices at the White House
since Inauguration.

WOOD BED HEADB0ARD
MARKS GRAVE CENTURY

BIZ United Press
CHARLESTON, S. c., June IT,
Still intact after serving 189 years
as a tombstone in st. Michael's
cemetery here, a four poster head
board of an old wooden bed has
been uncovered by a cleanup crew
working in the cemetery.
The unusual marker was part Of
the bed used by Mrs. Mary Ann
Luyten during her lifetime. Some
years before her death she decided
that its enduring tidewater cypress
wood should make a particularly
satisfactory tombstone. In writing
her will she directed that this be
done and ordered the inscription
which was to me carved on the bed.
The words were plainly visible
when workmen removed leaves and
moss which had partially covered
Mrs. Luyten's grave marker.

CROSSED WIRES.
I Rv Alice Rooth Davl

1t beats the Dutch how the wires get
crossed
And life turns out such a heck of a
frost
When we thought twas bed of
roses!
Just when we think it's easy to climb
And we plant our feet with a faith
sublime,
We fall and bump our noses!
And when we've worried ourselves
grey-headed
We find that the very thing we've
dreaded
Was blessing in disguise.
Remember when you are worn and
weary,
The end of the day that's dark and
dreary
Is often glad surprise.
When skies are blue it is hard to
believe
That Fate has the poker up her sleeve
To bang you over the head.
But don't you worry when skies are
grey;
The greyest clouds at the end of the
day
Are often the brightest red.

]. C. PENNEY Is ARDENT
SUPPORTER OF 4-H CLUB WORK

The highest price ever paid for
beef on the hoof" was paid by ]. c..
Penney, founder Of the j. C. Penney
Co. and noted breeder of purebred
dairy cattle, when he paid 1926 a
pound for the grand champion beef
steer of the International Livestock
Show at Chicago.
The prize winning animal which
brought this record making price was
bred and shown by Elliott Brown, 90
year old All Club boy of Rose Hill,
Iowa. 1t was a black Aberdeen Angus
which the fortunate young breeder had
named LUCKY Strike" The total
price paid for him was 1887. Young
Brown says that he will use part
Of the money to help his father pay
off the mortgage He will use most
Of the remainder to pay the expenses
of course in animal hushandry at
the Iowa State Agricultural College
at Ames, Iowa, where, as he states,
II hope really to learn how to raise
prize winning livestock" Whatever is
left he plans to invest in more stock
to raise.
Mr.. Penney has donated the steer
to the United Charities of Chicago,
who plan to sell it again to increase
their Christmas fund
This is the second year in succession
M which the grand champion beef
steer has been raised by a All Club
boy and the second year in which Mr..
Penney has bought the animal in the
spirited bidding which marks the sale
Of the winner.
Last year, the grand champion was
"Dick", white-faee Hereford bred
by Clarence Goecke, a 4-H club boy
of State Centre, Iowa. The price paid
to young Goecke, who was only 16
years old, was 81 pound, but Dick
weighed considerably more than the
winner this year and the total amount
of money paid for him was $8,050
Goecke also is using most of his
money to pursue course at the Iowa
State Agricultural College.
Dick" was cut up into steaks Just
before Christmas last year and dis
tributed to the poor through the Bow
cry Mission, operated by Mr. Penney
through the publication, Christian
Herald, of which he is president
Other notable contributions to the
spirit which is keeping the A. H Club in
steadily ascending rate of activity
were the purchase of Florentine' :
