on electric current is included in

MISUNDERSTANDING other

revision of the theory, previously
held almost unanimously by poll
ticians, that Herbert Hoover
wouldn't have the ghost of a
chance of being the next Repub-
lican nominee for President.
AS the Roosevelt depression"
drags along, many Republicans,
although they still remember the
Hoover depression" wildly,
aren't as convinced as they were
that their last President would be
the worst, possible candidate in
1910. This fact is not due to any
inspirational quality Of Mr.. Hoo

platform, which has caused no
large ripple.
Nor can it be said, despite the
former Presidents desire to vindi-
cate himself with a second White
House term, that there is any ac-
tual boom in Hoover, stock. The
mans chances have improved
somewhat from zero. Or, if you
felt he was 100-to-I shot a year
ago, you might say he was a So
to-l shot now. Odds against
Hoover may continue to shorten.
He is still in virtual control of the
Republican party machinery.

a NEWSPAPER OFFICE YIELDS
ROMANCE
IRv BRUCE CATION

1 s.~.- -s by BRUCE CaTTON) b.
A great deal OF. nonsense has been print
ed at one time or another about the ro-
nance of newspaper work. From the time
of Richard Harding Davis down to the era
of THE Front Page,.sthe newspaperman
has been held up as chap who moves
through an aura of romance slightly
smudged and soiled aura, occasionally, but
romance nonetheless. O. ,.. .s..-..
AT least 90 per cent of this is pure no
kun, Yet there is romance in the bust
ness, as there is in all trades and callings;
but there is nothing spectacular about it.,
and it is only rarely that the man in the
street is able to get look at it.
One of these rare occasions took place
hot long ago when the Pulitzer Prizes for
the past year were awarded. -
The gold medal for disinterested and
meritorious public service was awarded to
the Bismarck Tribune, in North Dakota;
and because the thing which that news
paper did to win the award is a striking
example of the real romance of newspaper
work, the tails is worth retelling here:
Back lin, 1888 the farming region of
western North Dakota was in bad way
Drought and economic depression had re-
duced whole areas to desperation. About
the only solution anyone could offer was a
suggestion that all hands stand by and
wait for help from Washington.
1t was here that the Bismarck Tribune
got busy The late George D. Mann; pub
Usher of the newspaper, had the notion
shat the. farmers of this particular dust
bowl could work their own way out of the
mess if someone showed them how. He
decided that his paper would do the show
ing.
Fl, So a long, unspectaeular and laborious
campaign was begun. First, the newspa-
per stressed the value of irrigation. 1t agi-
sated, campaigned and educated; and, af-
Ger some three years, brought about the
Construction of some 300 irrigation prof.
Gets which helped turn sun-baked fields
into green and fertile producers again.
But that was only part of it.
;, There was campaign to restore sub
marginal lands to the range; drive for
the construction of innumsrable small
dams to conserve water; shelter-bet pro-
gram; course of education in scientific
farming practices such as contour blowing
and crop Investigation, and whole flock
of lesser matters, re :,..... ... ---.' 81
= AS result of all of this, the area which
looked done for few years ago is now
getting back on its feet again-and, which
Is important, getting there by it's own eff
forts, and not by help from above. -, be-.
Now there is a genuine specimen of the
romance of the newspaper business. It
ISN'T the sort of romance you read about.

GRAPE SPRAYING: Do yo

GRAPE SPRAYING: Do you
have hopes Of nice punches OF
luscious grapes. If so, spray your
vines. If you have never done
that you can offer the excuses OF
not having a sprayer OF the spray
ING materials, not even knowing
what kind to invest in and what
to do with them. The amateur IS
hereby given the short cut to
success in grape growing pro
vided he has one, or Just few
vines.
A spray could have been APP
piled before this but there is yet
time for success. Invest about so
cents in a quart can sprayer. Buy
a pound of Bordeaux. Use ac-
cording to Instructions. Add arse
nate of lead to ratio of three
ounces to five gallons of water.
Buy an ounce bottle of nicotine,
called "Black Leaf Forty" and
add few drops as per instruc-
tions. Mix and spray the grapes
thoroughly just before blooming,
which some are doing now. Give
another spray after the blooms
shed and another when grapes
form and become nearly large
enough TO touch each other. Keep
this up about every two weeks.
A simpler, shorter cut to sue
cess for the novice would be to
buy IA prepared mixture of PyroX
on the local market, made espc-
cially for grapes with poisons
therein. This is a more expensive
preparation than Bordeaux, arse
nate and. nicotine but the logical
thing to do if you are not used to
spraying, and have only vine or
two. These sprays are to prevent
black rot, mildew, rose chafer,
berry moth, curculio and other
grape enemies.
Sprays when grapes are in
bloom should be avoided so as not
to kill the honey bees.
EVERY DAY RELIGION: Jno.
A. Sinclair, churchman and bust
ness man of East Flat Rock, longs

ply to their practices through the

him better by saying the world
needs a religion that il would
practice seven days "A week in
