Archbishop Jiminez, who has

ILLS LAUNCHES
BITTER ATTACK
ON ROOSEVELT
Charges Candidate With
disappearing Hoov-
er Statements.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. l. U.p)-Secre-
tary of Treasury Mills has opened
his trans Mississippi campaign
tour with an appeal for reelection
of the seasoned Hoover" a de-
mand that Gov. Franklin d,
Roosevelt state his position on the
soldiers bonus, and charge that
Roosevelt has misrepresented the
President in some of his speeches.
In an address here last night
Mills declared the coming election
was the most important since
1864" and appealed to voters to be
guided "solely by the best inter-
ests of the country" The Demo-
cratic presidential nominee is "a
new and untried man." Mills said,
while "the seasoned Hoover, has
lived with all phases of the de-
preston, has mastered every detail
of the immense problem and has
developed the machinery for deal
ing with It,"
Launching into a sharp criticism
of Roosevelt's Sioux City, Iowa,
speech in which the. administra-
ton was charged with just hav-
ing discovered the fact that there
is such thing as the farm mort
gage" Mills asserted the Presi-
dent had been openly and di-
rectly" misrepresented as to his
position.
"This will not do. The Ameri-
can people will not tolerate it,"
said Mills, after accusing the DEM
ocratic candidate of "covertly and
slyly" misrepresenting Mr.. Hoover
in previous speeches.
HE is expected to observe the
proprieties," he declared.
LET me remind my life long
friend and neighbor, Governor
Roosevelt" Mills went on, whose
country estate on the Hudson
which became his farm overnight,
Is no more mortgaged than is my
farm only six miles away, that
Herbert Hoover knows the mean
Ing of farm mortgage as few men
in high position do.
For he was born on an Iowa
farm and the word mortgage must
be among his earliest recollections.
He heard the term SO years ago
and sensed its meaning then. He
has not forgotten it."
The administrators latest move
10 ease the farmers mortgage bur-
den was only one phase OF set
ap which .o1ls.aated with the Pres
ident two years ago, Mills de-
clared.

CITRUS GROWERS
ADOPT PLAN FOR
CLEARING HOUSE

That the shipping standard for
grapefruit should be raised to in
clude SO per cent color content
before shipping and that no fruit
should be shipped from the valley
until October 10, were the decisions
made at last nights meeting OF
grapefruit growers and shippers held
in the court house.
The meeting also favored the
adoption of a clearing house plan
which will operate when 80 per
cent of the crop and 100 per cent
of the shippers have signed the
agreement. The clearing house
will effect a better distribution of
the crop.
The object in raising the color
content standard is to prevent fruit
from going out which, while meet
ing the requirements to sugar con-
tent, still Is not mature enough
to maintain the fine standard of
valley fruit. 1t was agreed that
no fruit would be shipped until
October 10 for the same reason,
growers believing that early ship
ments, before the quality of the
fruit has improved, do much to in
jure the reputation of valley fruit.
A few shipments of this years
crop have been already made but
growers ready to ship agreed to
hold off all future shipments until
the tenth of the month.
These decisions were embodied
in the recommendations made by
tn committee of eight appointed at
the last general meeting to draw
up plans for the clearing house.
Committee members are John F.
Waterman, Ben Hulse, j. D. Hus-
ton, Earle G. Davis, w. j. Gregg,
julius Potter, Harry Stewart and
Emil Steiner.
Today various representatives Of
the growers and shippers were
busy interviewing citrus growers to
sign up as many as possible for
the clearing house agreement.
DR.. Theodore Macklin, chief of
the bureau of markets of the state
department of agriculture, was pre-
sent at the meeting last night and
spoke briefly.
