contest over the equalisat ton fee fea-
ture OF the twfce-vetoed McNary-
Haugen bill.
Opposed 10 Interference.
While strongly favoring q liberal ad-
vance from the Treasury to aid in tax
ing care Of seasonal gluts Of basic crops,
Mr.. Hoover. wants as little Government
interference with the conduct Of the
agricultural industry as Is possible. He
has presented the view Of an industry
controlled by Independent men as one
much to be preferred to an industry
controlled by the Government.
The President has stated that there
should be aid in building up farmer
owned and farmer-controlled corpora
tions, which, he holds, would be amply
able to take care of the situation which
arises where there are large exportable
SURPRISES and q consequent lowering OF
the domestic price.
Both the Chief Executive and leaders
Of farmers organizations expect q large
measure Of relief to now from the tar
iii revision bill which it Is proposed
Congress snail enact as . companion
measure to the farm aid bill, Mr.. Hoo
yer looks to the House and Senate COM
mittees to draft farm -relief bill which
will square with the principles of those
pledges and does not intend to write q
measure and impose that upon Con-
gress. So
The $3.50, 200, 900 farm.relief pro-
gram of Senator Brookhart, Republican,
Of Iowa. is going to be one of the many
proposals put before the Senate agri-
culture committee when 1t starts work
on q 1929 agricultural relief measure
next week.
Brookhart failed to get any support
on this proposal at the last session.
He is not assured of any now, but he
was one Of President Hoover's heartiest
csmpaisners and he is confident the
new Chief Executive will give his plan
favorable consideration at least.
The Iowan, In his elaborate PROPOSE
ton, aims to guarantee to the farmer
a return of S per cent on his capital
investment.
He would set up a farmers national
export cooperative financed by the
Government with power to buy and
withhold surplus crops from the mar
ket. II any losses were sustained in
this .operation-and he doesn't believe
there would be heavy ones-he would
have the United States Treasury meet
these up to 100000, 900.

HOOVER ELASTIC
ON FARM Relief
Believed to Oppose Hard and
Fast Formulas in Spe-
ciaI Session.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover Is believed to lean
away from any plan to lay down hard
and fast formulas for farm relief in the
measure to be considered at the forth
coming special session of the Seventy
first Congress.
Those who have discussed agricul-
tural aid with him are of the opinion
that he would like to see the Federal
Farm Board 1t is proposed to create by
the legislation clothed with broad au-
thority to deal with crises as they arise
in the basic industry
The Chief Executive Is represented
as holding that formulas for curing the
present ills probably could not be ap-
piled in emergencies arising in the
future and that experience has demon
strated that board with full authority
could act much more speedily than
could the Congress.
Campaign Views Recalled.
This viewpoint was reflected in Mr..
Hoover's campaign discussions OF what
he has denominated as the greatest
economic problem before his admins
tration. He pointed then to the
desirability Of machinery which would
promise permanent solution Of the
agricultural problem, not merely q re-
moval of present causes Of distress
Some leaders in relief study, both in
and out Of Congress, are not taking any
too kindly to this broad plan, but sup
porterS of 1t are of the opinion that
these leaders will accept measures which
would have been rejected almost in
stantly before or during the memorable

The worst play I have seen this year was One
way Street" The worst fright I ever suffered was
when q Kansas tornado doomed down upon me In q
narrow roadway. The worst speaking voice ] knew
about Is Ethel B%srrymore's. The worst singing I have
ever heard was my own. The worst manners I have
ever seen displayed in print are those Of the New
York inteiigentsia In their razzing Of st. John En-
vine, who happens to be a better writer than any OF
them. The worst writing I have ever read Is that OF
Theodore Dresser. The worst literary Judgment was
that used by Dresser when ne wrote the same things
Mrs. Sinclair Lewis wrote. after she had written and
published hers. The next worst was when Dresser
acted similarly by some Of Sherwood Andersons
writings.
The worst detective fiction I have read was what
the New York detectives thought Cor pretended TO
think about the killing Of Arnold Rothstein.
The worst adventure tale was that OF the kidnap-
ing Of Aimee Mcpherson.
The worst trimming a Yankee ever got vas ours
when we sank most Of our biz bsttleships TO make
the Europeans all laugh in chorus. II was the first
Itrotherly thing the European nations had done since
the time when they all yelled In unison for Uncle
Sam to save them from the Germans.
The worst estimate Of my ability that was ever
given me officially was when the woman proprietor
of q third grade restaurant fired me from my first
lob rs waiter because I ate too much pie. The worst
luck seems 10 attend those estimsbe military gentle
men who. from time 10 time, start revolutions IN

The worst company manners are those OF Smed.

Mexico. The worst kind OF D light for any room In
which people must live Is . red light, and rose Is next
worse. The worst pain, I think, comes from ailments
OF the eyes and ears.
The worst social error I ever made was when
called on a girl at dinner time. The worst speech
ever made was when somebody told me what TO say.
The worst humor I was ever in was when somebody
changed something that ! had written. The worst
professional experience I ever had wss when the bust
ness manager of a small newspaper OF which ! was
editor offered to act as final arbiter In matters OF
English and literary style. The worst childhood ex-
~per,ence was when a big gandsr knocked me down
