VIM. H. Ayers, Ohio Con-
gressman, Believes S
Party Will Win Next
Year.

U. S. Representative William H.
Ayers, Jr, (R-O), predicted in Do
yer last Thursday night, that the
Republican party will nominate
and elect the Eisenhower-Nixon
ticket i'm 1856.
The congressman was one of two
principal speakers at a Lincoln
Day dinner, sponsored by the Re-
publican State Committee, held in
the Grange Hall, and attended bv
some $50 persons.
The other was Harry G. Haskell
Jr., until recently one of the assis-
tant secretaries to Mrs. Oveta Clup
Hobby, in the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
Introduced by Gov. J. Caleb
Boggs, Representative Ayers said
THE future of America depends
upon the future of our home life.
1t is based on the kind of living
that goes on in the average Ameri-
can home.
"LincOln's faith and his spirit
have been revived in our present
President, Dwight d. Eisenhower"
The congressman said that in the
present crisis the U. S. is fortunate
in having as President a man with
the military knowledge of Presi-
dent Eisenhower, who has dedica-
ted himself to peace, because mo
man hates war more than he who
has seen It,"
According to Mr.. Ayers the thing
that mpresses him most about
President Eisenhower is his belief
in a power far greater than that of
any individual. He here para
phrased LincOln's farewell speech
at Springfield, Ill, "a years ago to-
day, when the Civil War president.
referring to a supreme being said
without Him I cannot succeed,
and with Him I cannot fail"
Mr.. Ayers said we have some peo-
pie in the Republican Party who
say: What happened to our
party?"
"The fact u.s." continued the con-
gresham, 1--WE are gradually build
ing a good political organization.
But right now there are some
things more important than pOliti-
cal organizations.
The Congressman next referred
to the resolution recently approved
by Congress giving the President
the right to defend FOrmosa with
out a declaration of war, and he
said: "In the Judgment of Presi-
dent Eisenhower this will help to
preserve peace, and / believe that
is right"
Moving over to the Democratic
on the President, Congress
man Ayers said: "The Democrats
are splitting apart at the seams.

Good Heredity Aided
By Wise Feeding
Feeding, However, without PrODer
Ancestry, VIII Not Pay OF

There is a limit to how much
your dairy herd can produce. Two
main factors are respOnsibIe-One
often overlooked, says County
Agent George Vapaa. We know
what good feed and management
can do, but what about the in
herited ability to produce?
The best management and feed
ing can be given some cows and
still they will not produce over $50
pounds of butterfat a year. Chances
are their parents did not give them
the tools" to work with. Breeding
is the first and limiting factor. If
a COW inherited good ability to
produce, then good feeding and
management can boost her produc-
ductiOn.
To increase your herds ability
