THE RISE OF HOOVER.
From Barefoot Roy Food Expert is
Xow Modern Joseph.
Who is Hoover? Who is the man
in w%ose hands such unlimited pow- !
er has been placed? Is he capable.!
will he wisely administer his dictatorship,
so as best to conserve our
i supplies or food, and assure the people
provisions at reasonable prices,
and ret work no injustice to the far-!
mer and producer? What manner of I
man' is he?
Herbert Hoover is 42 years young.;
I say young advisedly, because he isj
the youngest looking man for his!
age. in America. He' has a boyish j
looking face, until you look in his,
eyes, then you know that you are
dealing with a man. He has broad
shoulders, which he carries very
erectly, and moves with the certain- j
x ty d? a pendulum. There is no lost!
motion in his carriage. He acts with'
as much Drecision as if he were gear- j
ed to a machine. His clean shaven,
round face and strictly business-like
cut clothes make him look like an
American drummer. There is one
big difference, however, between the
two. Hoover lacks the drummer's
conciliating smile and his ready fund
of anecdote. Hoover doesn't talk.
vHe may have a tongue, but you will
know him for some time before you
find him out. He will let you do the
talking, and you won't talk comfort\
ably, either, while he is looking at
you, as his piercing black eyes look
right through you. You feel as if he
were reading your very soul. His
big, broad shoulders and massive chin
impress you that you are in the presence
of a virile man, a masterful
. man, a man with whom you can take
no liberties and en whom you can
practice no deception.
Paradoxically as it may seem,!
while he is a masterful man, accus-i
tomed to be obeyed, and almost autocratic
in the use of his authority,
u. . ----yet
he is withal very .democratic. I
remember seeing him one day walking
down the streets of a small Belgian
village eating cheese and crackers.
I stopped him to ask a question
and he continued nibbling at his
improvised cheese sandwich as he
talked. A week later he was conversing
on equal terms with a British
cabinet minister. Shams and hollow
pretense and formalities are of
no consequence to him; results are
the things that count.
? Duty is paramount with him. He
is seemingly cold, but it is not for
lack of a kindly heart; in his doctrine
there are other ehings more important
than wasting time in social intercourse.
Life to him has a definite
. goal, and it requires every ounce of
' Ms strength, every moment of his
time, to attain it. He has the utmost
contempt for the social butterxrrr%c?

belief. Carlyle's "accomplish" is his
motto.
, '.f As a barefoot boy in Iowa, he determined
to make his mark in tfie
world and become a famous mining
engineer. In this he was influenced
by tbe stories published about that
time of the remarkable successes of
John Hays Hammond. He is quoted
as saying: "I determined to be like
him, and take wonderful trips all
over the world and open new mines,
and make a fortune." His simple
Qudfcer parents regarded him as being
too worldly in his aspirations,
and looked askant at his ambitious
plans.
' He entered Leland Stanford university
the possessor of a very limited
bank roll. Regardless of the
fact that he had to give up two days
of the week to his work, he succeeded
in phssing his examinations "cum
laude," and graduated as a mining
engineer.
After serving on^e year in the geological
survey, he took his young
bride and went to western Australia
on a mining expedition. His work
there attracted attention, and he was
appointed as chief engineer of the
Chinese Exploration company, and
was busily engaged in opening mines
in China at the beginning of the Boxer
revolution. So successfully did he
manage the affairs of the company
that the Chinese government appointed
him as chief engineer of the imperial
bureau of mines. While in
China, he supervised the erection of
the (Shang Wong Tong docks.
His success in China attracted the
attention of the great mining company
of Berwick, Borney & Co., of
England, who employed him at a
large salary to supervise their mininff
torafta in fhino Australia
i *"!?> VCta ill Miiu **v*wv*
He dS4 his work so well that they decided
that they meeded his services in
London as consulting engineer, and
took him into partnership. He is now
a director is wore than 50 successful
aM paying mines, located in every
ooutinent apon the globe. He
has more thai 50.000 employes, and
x an o*tf>ut if mon then $100,000,000
of oro yearly. A reraarkable rise in
22 years, from laundryraan to one
of thw principal wiling directors in
the ^o?M.

to do is to administer our food supp

TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF.
Edgefield Fanner Cuts His Tliroat
and May Die.
__ !
Edgefield, July 19.?Edward P.
Arthur, a well known and prominent'
I
farmer living three miles east of here, i
attempted to commit suicide this i
morning by cutting his tliroat with a
knife, the jugular vein having been
severed half in two. He was near
the house at the time the wound wasj
inflicted and was seen by his wife, j
who went to his assistance and stay-1
ed the flow of blood by stuffing the;
wound with cotton. Physicians were!
summoned and all possible medical i
aid was rendered. He now lies be-!
tween life and death with a slight
chance for recovery.
For several days Mr. Arthur has!
i
j been in a depressed mental condition,!
expressing to friends the apprehen-j
sion that he and Jiis family would I
l
starve. Some time ago his crop was:
injured by a hail storm, over which
I he brooded; this and financial worI
ry led to a derangement of his mind,
it is believed.
LIKELY DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Two Gaffney Men in Hospital After
Shooting Each Other. .
Gaffney, July 19.?A deplorable
shooting affray occurred in Gaffney
last night when C. D. Owens and
George Bradley shot each other, fatally,
it is thought. Bradley married
Owens's daughter yesterday
morning at Rutherfordton, N. C., and
returned to Gaffney last night. OwI
ens went to Bradley's home, and, according
to Bradley's statement, told
him that he had come for his daughter
and he would get her or die, and
began shooting at close range, using
a .32 calibre revolver, which he
emptied, putting live snots into crauley's
body. Bradley then went into
his house, returning with a shot gun,
which he fired into the body of Owens.
Both men are at the hospital
undergoing operations, and it is impossible
for the physicians to say
whether or not either will recover.
Both are mill operatives and are men
of good reputation.
our allies. This can be largely carried
out through the coordination
and regulation of the existing legitimate
distributive agencies of the
producers, distributers and consumers.
There must be organization of
the community for voluntary conservation
of foodstuffs. There must be
a recignized authority responsible for
the regulation of our necessities. I!
conceive that the essence of ail warj
administrations falls under two
phases. First, a single centralized
responsibility, and second, the delegation
of ttiis responsibility 'to decentralized
administrative organs.
The task in front of us is great; not
only m*st -America be fed, but so
must her armies, together with the
armies of our allies and their civilian
population Neither England
nor France produces its full supply of
grain, even in ordinary times."
A complete plan by which housewives
can reduce food consumption
in their homes will shortly be sent
out. Hoover outlines his plan as
follows:
"As required by the president, we
ask every' woman in the United
States engaged in the personal control
of food, to register for actual |
membership in the food administration,
thus entering directly into the)
national service. We shall late? on
ask various classes of men, likewise j
engaged in food preparatibn and dis-|
tribution, to volunteer. i
"We must enter a period or sacrifice
for our country, and for democracy.
Many must go into battle
but many can only remain at home.
The world's food supply is short, and
rnnnv must suffer. We have the ma
jor burden of feeding the whole
world. Food must be managed and
transported in our own country, and
to our allies, in such a way as to get
the most out of it. Those who remain
at home can also help and can
'fight by helping the fighters fight,
and can serve by saving.' Since food
will decide the war, each American
woman can do real national service
by prptecting the food of .the nation.
Ninety per cent, of American food
consumption passes through the
hands of our women. In no other
field do small things when multiplied
by our hundred million people count
for so much. A single pound of
bread saved weekly for' each penson
will increase our surplus of wheat
Ift0.ft00.000 bushels, and an average
saving of two cents c^t each meal every
day for each perspn wil save
$2,000,000,000 here atinuaMy. The
proper assurance of food to our allies
will not only emcourage them,
but it will also maintaii them in
war."
Behind the greatest work in lood
conservation ever undertaken is one
of America's most capable sons, Herbert
Clark Hoover, master mining
engineer, and at present supercargo,
chief steward aad chef extraordinary
to the world.?William H. Crawford
