Warned BY The
Leading Economists

One thing he suggested
which will interest many
business men. Mr.. Hoover
was head of the Department
of Commerce under two adj
ministrations. His ambition
was to build up foreign
trade. To that end he spent
the peoples money like the
proverbial drunken sailor;
established attaches in the
embassies and legations had
expert studies made of
methods to extend our trade.
Having done all this he
entered upon his Presidency
and signalized his entrance
by surrendering to gang
of selfish gluttons who de-
manded a tariff that would
be an affront to every ma
ton and thus destroy all
the advantages gained by
the most liberal expenditure
of the peoples money.
This seems insanity. 1t
certainly was not sense.
He did not realize the eff
feet! Then clearly he has
none of the qualities of
craftsmanship. Had he pos
sessed any of the knowledge
Of political economy with
which the paid propagan-
dists had endowed him to a
superlative degree, he would
have known better. He was
warned by a thousand of the
leading economists of the
country. Many manufac-
turers begged him to veto the
Grundy monstrosity on the
ground that it would, as it
has, destroy. their foreign
markets.
Blindly, stubbornIy, it al
most seems stupidity, he
pushed ahead, with Grundy
pushing him, and thus de-
prived us of the best Gus
toners we have ever had.

boys, weaklings and Lotharios?
How did they get that taste for
masculine lemons in the Gar
den of Love?"
IF a girl ever cared for Peck's
Bad Boy" writes Helen B. ...,"
could it spoil her taste for the
nice humdrum kind?"
AS Helen-to- Helen, I'll say it
could-and does! There's some
thing about these spoiled dar-
lings-these selfish, headstrong,
devil.may-care irrepressibles and
irresponsibles. Call it magnet
ism, personality, audacity
charm or what-have-you - but
it's something that makes every
body and everything else seem
flat, colorless and tame, for a
little while.
The woman who has loved or
married one of these fascinat-
ing love-racketeers, may get
over it or divorce him. She may
love and marry again. But no
other man ever goes to her head
or makes her see stars, like
that. The glamour is off, for
her!
You know how it is. Once
man has acquired a taste for
cocktails and champagne, he
may cut it out, and stick to gin
ger ale and soda pop for the
rest of his life. But way down
in his subconsciousness, there is
always the suppressed longing
for the old glamorous, light
hearted days; and he treasures
even the memories of his worst
headaches.
And a woman who has been

ever been so bewildered, so dis
couraged, so empty.
And then I took this job.
And each day, across my
desk and into my office, flowed
the record of hundreds of other
lives. Letters and letters-some
written arrogantly on beautiful
white paper; some scrawled
recklessly on Smeared scraps.
Faces and faces-some worn
defiantly on healthy, strong
bodies; some worn like scars
on huddles of shamed flesh.
Yet each letter and each face
revealing it's record of a human
life.
AND EACH LETTER AND
EACH FACE REVEALING THE
SAME RECORD-THE IDEN-
TICAL SYMPTOMS OF FEAR
AND HATE AND HUNGER
AND DESPAIR!
Made Her Cross
Amazing! Thousands of let
tiers and faces, so dissimilar on
the surface, so similar behind
the mask. And, most amazing
of all, there in those records I
found my own record, which
I had thought was so different,
so secret, so peculiar and per-
Sonal!
For years I had gone
through life feeling that I was
all alone, and now I found
that I had never been alone.
Always those invisible mil
lions had walked with me,
wept with me, dreamed with
me, despaired with me!
This discovery, of course,
should have been great COM
fort; but it wasn't. At first,
I'll confess, it made me a little
mad. 1 found I had been get
ting a doleful thrill out Of
thinking that I was the worlds
exclusive sufferer, and now I
didn't want to admit, I really
resented the fact that I wasn't
exclusive at all!
But that conceit passed pres
emily, and then comfort came.
It has never left me since. Mo
matter what happens to me
now, I know that I am not
alone. I know that all the rest
of the world walks with me.
That knowledge is my richest
possession. 1t opens the door
for me into every hurt heart.
It helps to heal my own hurt.
It will help to heal your hurt,
too. Try it!

They are unable to sell their

retaliatory tariffs these ma

Radio and Visitors

Don't make your radio a nui-
sance to your guests.
To have it operating inces-
sanity in the home is annoying.
In each home certain pro-
grams are popular and others
are boresome, according to the
taste of the listeners.
What please you may be dis
pleasing to visitors.
This is especially true when
the machine is operated in a
loud way.
Radios are no longer a nov
city, therefore guests should not
be treated to that form of en-
tertainment unless they bring
in something the guests enjoy.
Attempts to display what
your radio will do is like hay

Mr.. Roosevelt's
Remedy

4SOAAAOuy
And so Mr.. Roosevelt says:
I'm short, because we have
built unjust tariff walls our
selves, other countries are
using our own poison against
us"
And what does he pro-
pose? That we shall level
the tariff walls to the ground
without any reference to the
walls against us in other
lands, as Mr.. Ogden Mills
dishonesty suggests? No
this:
ITO remedy this, I have
advocated and continue to
advocate a tariff policy based
IN large part upon the simple
principle of profitable ex-
change arrived at through
negotiated tariffs with bene-
fit to each nation"
That is what the Demo-
cratic House proposed in the
bill which a Republican Sem
ate endorsed and Mr.. Hoover
vetoed.
The issue between Hoover
and Roosevelt here is this:
Mr.. Roosevelt would actively
seek reciprocal agreements
for the restoration Of our
trade, and Mr.. Hoover re-
fuses to lift his hand to
that end.

FARM POPULATION
. NEARS PEAK MARK
St. Louis Land Bank Head
Says Rural Sections Are
Gaining Rapidly.
RY the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS. December IA a
year-old "back-to-the- farm" movement
has reached such proportions that
Wood Netherland, president Of the Fed
erai Land Bank Of st. Louis. predicts
another month will see the farm popu-
lation of the Middle West nearly as
great as 1t ever was.
The exodus from the cities to the
soil. he said, has offset the cityward
movement from 1920 to 1880, when
the ambition Of nearly every farm lad
was to share In the big wages in the
city
Netherland attributed the movement
to unemployment in the larger cities,
anticipated higher farm prices and un-
favorable investments In other lines.
The hegira to the country, which
began in 1890. is pointed to by real
estate men as one OF the principal rea-
sons for the "for rent" signs appearing
in the curtalnless windows Of myriads
Of vacant city apartments. flats and
houses.
THE movement back to the land Is
unquestionably one Of the main rea-
sons for the many vacancies In city
dwellings," said F. G. zeibig, veteran
ST. Louis real estate man. City peo-
pie that have lost their jobs are head
ing toward the country. where they
may be sure Of at least q roof over
their heads and something to eat"
Netherland said sales of farms to
city people have continued to increase
in the last 60 days. He pointed out,
however that not every city man or
woman is adapted to farm life.
ITO farm successfully requires not
only the desire. but the ability. and few
urbanites who have spent all their years
in the cities are equipped by tempera-
ment, to say nothing Of training and
knowledge, to make successful farmers.
This fact Is recognized by the Fed
eral Land Bank in the sale Of farms.
Although most Of our sales are now be-
ing made to urbanites, they are largely
to former farmers or their sons who
left the farm q few years ago to earn,
temporarily, high wages In the cities
and who now find the city picture en-
tirely changed"
Many farm buyers are aware that
present prices Of produce will not bring
immediate large profits. Netherland said.
But they believe such prices cannot last
and that there will be an up-swing.
Farms with complete sets OF build
ings and equipment can now be bought
for less than they sold for a generation
or more ago in the raw" the bank pres
ident said. Farm life now offers many
psysical and cultural comforts, such as
modern water and heating systems,
good roads, improved schools, the tele-
phone and radio"
