 ANOTHER FIGHT

 Session Delegates

 Addressing Republicans and fel- low Americans" the former Presi- dent and titular leader of his Par ty, concluded his address to stop the retreat and lead the attack to retake and recapture and reman the citadels of Liberty, thus can America be preserved. thus can peace and plenty and security be re- established and expanded; thus can opportunity. inheritance and the spiritual future for our children be guaranteed; thus you'll win grat- itude, prosperity and the blessings of Almighty God
 Asserting the New Deal has de- layed recovery and contending that if continued it's policies will result in tears and anguish and Uni yersal bankruptcy" Hoover said there were little prospects that the New Deal has done little more than to take few hundred thousand ear nest workers to the promised land and taken the rest of us for a ride into the wilderness of unemploy- ment."

qquarter to half of these peaches
by the rot, especially of the two
first named varieties. Better re-
suits are hoped for the later va
rieties if the changed condition of
the weather this week continues.
Mr.. CumminS says that in all his

never seen a season like this. We
are told that where the trees are
very full, there is much less rot
than where they are only partially
filed.

CHANGE TO COOLER
WEATHER

Monday morning at the close of
another period of the many rainy
spells of weather it was remarked
when the clouds rolled by that it
looked like clearing and better
weather. An elderly farmer re
marked that it was clearing up too
warm to last, but the sequel show
ed that he knew no more about it
than the Weather Bureau at
Washington. The wind gradually
increased through the day (the
first decided northwester for two
or three months) while the temper
ature lowered, falling in the night
or rather Tuesday morning to So
degrees, giving us a different at
mosphere, one of decidedly less
moisture and indicative of more
settled weather. So must it be.
