I *. " x” ' . Hyde Park, Aug.,.23.—The policy of the ‘‘good neighbor,” reflected in the amity of the Americas, was hailed to day by President Roosevelt as an ob ject lesson to belligerent nations. The^chief executive expounded his philosophy of peace to a delegation of the people’s mandate to end war that came to' him ' at the summer White House and asked biin as the candidate of the Democratic party, to urge immediate cessation of arms in crease and a treaty looking to uni versal disarmament. Headed by Dr. Mary E. Woolley, president of Mt. Holyoke college, thej group ejfplained they repreented! 1,000,000 persons who signed the! mandate. They called on Mf* Roose velt to project their program at the Pan-American peace conference at Beunos ^ires next December. Mr. Roosevelt observed 0& per -cent- of the people ii#almo8t every nation] favor peace, but that, unfortunately,! on that subjeefc^as well-~aa on-many* others, some governments wereHbe-{ hind instead\^of abreast of wishes of their citizens.\ He declared the greatest good for the future of mapkind could be ac complished by the\spreading of thej “good neighbor” ddetrine. Pointing! out some nations use the need for, improved economic conditions as an excuse for possible war, the president asserted they have put the cart be fore the horse. The answer, he said, was not to go tO" Wftf but to stress efforts to better international eco nomic conditions through peaceful he says, “nor is it indifferent. But it hates sham and unreality.” T have been keenly interested in observing the reactions of a consid erable group of young people toward the churches -and I think that Dr. ly read by a 1 parties at interest m . . .* • .v * ^ , \ u ^ u Hemmg is right in this.

To Take Stump In October Has Too Much To Do To Take Time For Political Speeches, Says President. Hyde Park, N. Y., Aug, 22.—A mor atorium on political speeches unti/ October was declared today by Presi dent Roosevelt. The president told reporters he had too much to do to take time to pre pare speeches. He has sjveaking dates at a ‘‘green pa.stures” rally at Charlotte, N. C., Septembei^^lO, at Washington Sep tember ir before the world power conference, and at the Harvard uni versity tercentennial September 15. But all these are non-political speech es, the president said. He has ptit a trip to drought states, for which he finished the itinerary “The picture wak taken on Mt'.

SAFETY—ChampioM ' Among the motorists who will con verge on New York on August 31, to take part in the highway safety tour ney, sponsoi-ed by the C. I. T. Safety Foundation, is one man who has driv en more than 1,000,000 miles without a single accident. His name is Ed ward F. Macauley and‘ he lives at Schenectady, New York. The first state to nominate its best driver for this national event was Michigan, which will be repre sented by a woman, Mae A. Fischer of Detroit, who has been driving a car for- 36. years and has covered 963,363 miles without any more se rious accident than a scratched fen der. As the delegation was leaving Mr. Roosevelt commended the work of the I eighty organizations affiliated with i the people’s mandate and asked them/ to try to extend their principles toj the other continents. . I The president then turned to prep-' arations for his departure from Hyde! Park late tonight for Washington, | where he will remain until he sets out; for the dust bowl .Tuesday. At the, capital he faces two days of conference with cabinet officers and other administration officials. W’hite" House attaches declined to state whether the death of Governor Floyd B. 01son,_^ Minnesota, would cause a change to b^made in the president’s drought itinerary. He was! scheduled to have conferred with the governor at Mayo hospital in Roches ter, Minn., August 31. He may, how ever, keep the Rochester engagement and discuss drought conditions with state and federal officials there.. 7 > e / C V a • I Wish To Thank the Citizens of the: Eighth Judicial Circuit fdi. the *• • Splendid Vote Given Me In the First Primary for Solicitor.

DOGd—Not GuiltyfS About the silliest performance I have ever heard of was the solemn “trial” at Loeport, N. Y., of a dog which was accused of murder. A Washington, Aug., 24.—Winter cov er crops in the cotton belt have in- ased the average yields of cottbn aoout 35 per cent and corn about 75 pei^^ent, it is revealed in a bulletin. Crops for Soil Conservation,” issued Xoday by the U. S. department ofagriculture. The authors of tljferbulletin. Welter V. Kell, of\the soil conservation ser vice and R^nd McKee, of the bu reau of plantNudustry, point out that in 1929 about % to 100 million acres of corn, 4 to 45 pillions acres of cot ton, 3 to 3 Vi milli^ acres of potatoes and sweet potatoei^and a little less than 2 million acres^f'tobacco were being grown in the ^United States. These figures, they sa^ approximKte the normal acreage ovei\a period of 16 years. Each of these crops is <^an-culti vated and leaves the soil eiroosed to the elements and consequent ject to erosion a great part 6f the year. The bulletin says that in the hot ton aiid toba$eo' region of the toikh a very small percentage of this acre mge ia seeded to winter cover crops of field peas, vetch, crimson clover and rye. In the north, where com, soy beans and potatoes are largely grown, closje-drilled crops such as wheat, clo ver, etc., used in the regular rota tions, must be depended on for soil improvements and erosion control.
