Season; Pitching Good for
Both Teams.

The President has four public adj

While his talks are expected to help
party candidates in the November
election the story is current that Mr..
Hoover is more anxious to sell him

clarations on employment, wages and
living costs. Some southern leaders
are hopeful that the speech at Kings
