EAIM R HODVER SECRETARY OF COMMERCE { PLANS TO ENLARGE FIELD OF THAT, DEPARTMENT, HE HAS IDEAS AND ENERGY Former Food Administrator Says He | Desires to Make His Influence and ! Work Give Full Returns ta the American People. By EDWARD B. CLARK, ' Washiogton.—Herbert Hoover, {he new secretary of commerce, virtually has served notice on the new Presl- dent that it is his intention, if pessl- ble under the law, to enlarge the field of the work of the department which e is to enter and which never before has stood saliently prominent before the eyes of the people. ! No_one knows what lines of enlarge- ment of his department Mr. Hoover in- tends to follow and no one will . know until his plan of extending the work lias been outlined definitely, given to the President and then to the public, | but it can be taken for granted that | the new secretary has some substan- | tial thoughts in his mind and that he will endeavor to put into his work the energy which carried him through the Belgian relief campaign, and the more taxing labor of administering the food supplies of the United States. In the summer of 1917, when Her- bert Hoover began his work of direct- ing aright the appetites of the Ameri- can people, it was said that “Herbert Hoover must await the American judgment day before his task, as big a one as individual man has under- taken, is stamped with approval’s or disapproval's seul.” 1t -is possible that this word may staud today, for the food man now is | about to-enter into a new field of eu- | deavor, and his desire, he says, Is to wake his influence and his work glve full returns to the American people. Not Moved by Criticism. r Much has been written about Her- bert Hoover. I saw at close range the results of some of his work when he was commissioner for the relief of Belgium in the year 1915, and later his labors as foed administrator in the United States. Interest in this man seemingly has not-waned, and the oc- casional marked criticism has kept company with praise, most of it, how- ever, seemingly coming from some of the ‘members of congress, Who . at tunes were rather sharp in their werds when Hoover did something which did rut pleasa them personaily, Hoover has always been rather indifferent. Lo criticlsm, provided he was satisfied in his own mind that what he intended to do was right. It a persoual sketch of the new sec- retary of commerce is wanted, proba- bly 1 can do nothing better than re- peat what I wrote about him at the time he entered into the great field of war work in this country, so here 1t goes: g “I have had an opportunity to study Herbert Hoover at close range. It is my feeling that he will put his food tvork through aleng the lines drawn by the nature of war's necessity, and he will not turn nside from the path as be sees it clearly. marked. “Some of the business interests will get after Hoover; some members of congress probably will continue to get after him, and other things and other persons may get after him, but solong as he thinks that he is right and seems to Yave the approval of the consumery of the country, he will go straight on Direct in $peech and Wark. “What sort of person Is Herbert | MUCH EXPECTED | GOLFER’S DELICHT The above is a sketch of the Bemidji Country club golf course, showing the It is located at the north end of Lake Bemidji, about isix miles from the city, and is reputed to be one of | roughs. the best nine-hole courses in the Northwest.” The club owns a 25.0-foot frontage on the lake. located on the hill in the upper portion of the skdqh, were installed last spring and assist in keeping the greens| in perfect shape at all times, Fifty-four acres provide an ideal course for this popular game. * * 01l Plnewond Saturday-evering undsous | Joyed a good, time. ¥ Lee Sime, Christ Peterson, Melviin Phempeon and Mike Wold motored to Bemidji last Sunday evening to attend the show, | Walter Peterson finished his con- tract on the state road in_the-tewn |- of Jones. o \ Mrs. Ed.
