Herbert Hoover is making the speculator and greedy middleman howl. But what sort of man is it, anyway, who will profit off the hunger and suffering of his fellow man? Yet, there are a great many men in this country who are doing that very thing. This food administrator is going to put a stop to it, and wherever it cannot be controlled in any ?

The planting and raising of wheat is to be given especial attention and is being urged upon the farmers of -the south for the coming winter. Past experience with wheat shows that it can be grown profitably in almost every portion of the southland, and that a great deal of the land is particularly adapted to it. It is claimed that the emergency food law passed by Congress, will have a satisfactory effect in sta bilizing wheat prices, and that an attractive farm price for it is assured. With this assurance, the farmers should feel encouraged to give more attention to wheat growing and the selection of the land best adapted to its culture. Selling the products of the canning clubs and of the small home cannery has always been something of a problem. The local dealer can help to solve it, keep money at home, and do a great service for the community from which his support must come. If all the dealers will co-operate in this work and let people l/r?/\*n af tKo5i? urillinrrnoca fa hon_ nuvfv ui vi i Vol i wiiimgiavou vv uutr die local canned Roods they will do much good. There is a buyer somewhere for every can of good food, and the dealer can find that buyer much easier than the farmer can. Wtien the home canned products arc placed on the market in glass jars, usually a price is charged for the jars and the money is refnnded when the jars are returned. J. J.

A Good Letter, After All. Someone has advanced the opinion that the letter "e" is the most unfortunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger and in hell all the time. For some reason the fortunes of the letter were overlooked and atlen ion is called to the fact that "e" is never in war and always in peace. It is the beginning existence. the commencement of ease, and the end of trouble, and without it there could be no life, hope or heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love perfect. and without it there could be no editors, devils or news.
