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.

But r. Hoover has a most stupendous
job on his hands.
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.

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.
