q yy Te OEE P sree PAGE TWO NOMINEE WILL VISIT VILLAGE TO REMINISCE Old Swimming Hole Down by Bridge Draws Republican Choice Back STUDIED WITH INDIAN Lone Democrat in Community Served as Moral and Po- litical Lesson Forty years after, Herbert Hoover is going back to the lit- tle village of West Branch Towa, to visit again the scen he knew as a 10-year-old boy— the old swimming hole down by the railroad bridge, Cook’s hill where the boys coasted on their home-made sleds, the creek where he fished with a willow pole, a butcher string line and hooks that cost 10 for a dime at the cross-roads store. The Republican presidential candi- | date, who plans to visit West Branch while returning to Washington from | his western tour, here tells the inti- mate story of his boyhood days. It | is taken from an informal address | that Hoover made at a dinner given by the Iowa Society of Washington —one of Hoover's few informal ut- terances. “I prefer tq_think of Iowa as I saw it through the eyes of a 10-year-old boy,” Hoover said, “and the eyes of all 10-year-old boys are, or should be, filled with the wonders of lowa's streams and woods, of the mys- tery of growin; “I was taken farther west from Towa when I was 10, to Oregon and hence to that final haven of Iowans —California—where I have clung ever since. “Someone may say that these rec- | ollections of Iowa are only the illu- sions of 40 years after, but I know better—for I have been back and checked it up. I was told that when I went back everything would have shrunk up and become small and or- dinary. For instance, there was Cook’s hill—that great long hill where, on winter nights, we slid down at terrific speeds with our tum- mies tight to home-made sleds. I've seen it several times since; it’s a good hill and except for the older method of thawing out frozen toes with ice water the operation needs no modern improvement. * The Old Swimming Hole “The swimming hole under the willows down by the railroad bridge is still operating efficiently, albeit modern mothers probably compel their youngsters to take a bath to get rid of clean and healthy mud when they come home. The hole still needs to be deepened, however. It is hard to keep from pounding the mud with your hands and feet when you shove off for the 30 feet of a cross-channel swim. “One of the bitterest days of my life was in connection with a rabbit. Rabbits fresh from a figure-four trap early on a cold morning are wiggly rabbits, and in the lore of boys of my time it is better to bring them home alive. My brpther. being older, had surreptitiously behind the blacksmith shop read in the Youth's Companion, full directions for ren- dering live rabbits secure. I say ‘sur- reptitiously’ for mine was a Quaker family unwilling in those days to have youth corrupted with stronger reading than the Bible, the encyclo- pedia or those great novels where the hero overcomes the demon rum, That Rabbit Incident “Soon after he had acquired this higher learning on rabbits, he pro- : Weather Report | Temperature at 7 a. m.

Cook has been in Bis- Marck 55 years today. Bill and his close friend, John Sunderland, trudged into Bismarck on the morning of Aug. 3, 1873. Bill on the corner where the Webb build- ing is now, and were promptly “kicked down the stairs by an angry printer.” Bill, who has been bailiff in Bur- leigh county district court for over 25 years, came to Bismarck with his parents in a covered wagon from Goodhue county, Minn. The Cid left home July 4, spending a mont o"yfamilies of Charles Nichols, Joh 7 ‘amilies of Charles Nichols, John . Nichols, Henry Arnold, and Charles | HOWARD H.

Upon the intro-| duction of the operation the resist- ance of this rabbit was too much for me. I was not only blamed for its | escape all the way home and for weeks afterwards, but continuously | aver the last forty years. “There were also at times pigeons in this great forest and prairie chickens in the hedges. With the efficient instructions of a real live American Indian boy from a neighboring Indian school on the subject of bows and arrows, we sometimes, by firing volleys in battalions were able to bring down a pigeon or a chicken. The Ritz Hotel has never yet provided game of such wondrous flavor as this bird plucked and half cooked over the small boys’ camp fire. i “And in those days there were; sun and catfish to be had. Nor did] we possess the modern equiprient in artificial lures, tackle a: from the steel of bamboos of Siam, tin of B: the lacquer of China or Colorado, We were still in that but highly social condition of u a willow pole with a butcher strin: line and hooks ten for a dime. ‘Our compelling lure was a seg- ment of an angle worm and our in- cantation was to spit on the bait. We lived in the time when fish used to bite instead of strike and we knew it bit when the cork bobbed. And moreover, we ate the fish. Aunt Millie’s Cooking “And in the matter of eating, my recollections of Iowa food are of the most distinguished order. You may say that is the appetite of youth, but I have also checked this | to eat both of the best food in ¢ world, as well as of the very worst. ! When I ate the worst, my thoughts | went back to Iowa, and when I ate! of the best I was still sur Aunt Millie was a better cook. 30 years after this time, in 3 siting | Aunt Millie, I challenged that dear old lady, then far along in 's, to | cook another dinner of the kind she | provided on Sabbath days when we ly then the gourmets were both youthful. She produced | that dinner, and I am able to say now that if all the cooks of Iowa are up to Aunt Millie’s standard, of the world should leave Paris for Iowa, at least for Cedar county, The Garfield Campaign “My earliest realization of the stir of national life was the torch: parce in the Garfield campaign. | s m that occasion, I was not only al- | ® lowed out that night—but I saw the lamps being filled and lighted. “There was no great need for urging voters in cur village— there was a Democrat in the vil- lage. He occasionally fell to the influence of liquor, therefore in the esteem of our group he rep- resented all the forces of evil. At times he relapsed to goodne: in the form of rations of a single bought the old iron from which the financial resources were provided on the Fourth of July. He was, therefore, toler- ated and he served well and ef- ficiently as a moral and political “But Iowa through the eyes of a 10-yoorcl. boy is not all adventure or high living. Iowa in those years, as in these years, was filled with days of school—and who does not jest mill for grinding on toll, cut and | lution brought about by machinery and kindness drilled into us those foundations of all we know today? “And they were days of chores and labor, I am no supporter of factory labor for children, but I have never joined with those who clamored against proper work of children on farms outside their school hours. And I speak from the com- mon experience of most Iowa chil- dren of my day in planting corn, hoeing gardens, learning to milk, sawing wood, and the other proper and normal cceupations for boys. “We had no need of Montesori schocls to teach us application. Death of Parents “But of more purpose I can be- speak for the strong and healthy which come from it all. Nor va of those days without its s. Medical science of those times was erless against the con- tagious diseases which swept the countryside. My own parents were among its vietims. “I know by experience that a fam- ily then produced all of its own ve etables, carried its grain to the near- hauled its own fuel from the wonder- ful woods 10 miles away, and inci- dentally gathered walnuts. The family wove its own carpets and some of its clothes, made its own soap, preserved its own meat and ruit and vegetables, got its sweet- ss from sorghum and honey. ‘These families consumed per- haps 80 per cent of the product of their land, Twenty per cent of it was exchanged for the few outside essentials and to pay interest on the mortgage. When prices rose and fell on the Chicago market, they only affected 20 per cent of the product of the farm. I know, and you know, that today as the result of the revo- and improved methods of planting nd breeding animals, and what-not, 0 per cent of the product of the farms must go to the market. The Scar on His Foot 4 “When the price of these things wabbles in Chicago, it has four times the effect on that family on the farm that it did in those days. If prices are high—they mean com- fort and automobiles; if prices are low---they mean increasing debt and privation. I am not recommending the good old days, for while the standards of living in food and eloth- ing and shelter were high enough for anybody’s health and comfort, there was but little left for the other purposes of living. That is probably one reason why the people of Iowa of that time put more of their time in religious devotion than most of {them do now. It certainly did not require as much expenditure as their on that trip. There were about 20/was aptly coined for Howard H. in the small group. Mrs. Charles! &])sworth.

Corn prices also turned weak, and December corn represent- ing the new crop now in the field sold down to nearly the lowest price so far this season. Shipping call to- day here for corn was only moder- ate. Wheat closed heavy, 112¢ to 2c net lower, corn 1%c to 4%sc down, oats %@% to Msc off, and pro visions at 5c to 20c decline. Houses with connections north- west were conspicuous today on the selling side of the wheat market. Meanwhile, in addition to declines in Liverpool wheat quotations, crop reports were also in favor of sellers. Canadian advices, especially, showed an auspicious outlook, with news that preparations were in progress for an early harvest, that cutting in Manitoba would commence within ten days and would be only a few days later in Alberta and Saskatche- wan. Bumper prospects for corn yield were reported today as having been materially increased by timely rains last night. In particular, some sec- tions of Iowa sent word that the crop is now practically perfect. Be- sides, arrivals of corn in Chicago today were somewhat larger, 160 cars, and buying support for the market apeared at times to be less aggressive than has been the rule of late. Corn showed a heavy undertone and although September was slight- ly higher early all deliveries eased off shartly with September breakin, nearly 5¢ from the day's top level. Pit traders and commission houses were selling on account of very beneficial rains in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. March delivery esteh- lished a new low price record for the season. : Oats were easier, with corn. Provisions tended downward re- sponsive to the weakness of grain. WHEAT BREAKS TO NEW LOW LEVELS Minneapolis, Aug. 3.—/)—Wheat broke sharply today, prices going to new low levels both at Minneapclis and at Chicago. Lower cables, a lull in export demand, large winter wheat receipts, hedging pressure and a draggy undertone in cash wheat in the southwest started prices lower and stoploss selling was reached when the market got into new low ground.

New spring met a fair demand at old crop ‘premiums. New 13 protein spring, 10 day arrival, was 15 cents over September. Winter wheat was draggy but de- mand was a shade better. Durum was steady. Flour trade was fair to good and shipping directions were fair. Corn was steady with a good de- mand for yellow, while mixed was slow. Oats were in better demand. Rye was in ‘arger supply and the market was quiet and easy. Barley was steady to firm. Price range was 67 to 75. Flaxseed offerings were practical- ly nil and demand was fair.

INEE WI WILLIAM COOK [Wine Promotion 1 FINANCIAL NEWS STOCK MARKET STAGES RALLY Brisk Demand for Oil Shares Stimulates Prices Down ‘ All Lines New York, Aug. 3—()—A brisk demand for the oil shares based on the recent increase in commodity prices, featured the resumption of the upward drive movement in te: day’s stock market. The rally, which ran from 1 to 6 points in many issues, Tollowéed an early per- iod of irregularity in which the mar- ket was called upon to absorb a heavy volume of selling as a result of the large increase in brokers’ loans and the more stringent regula- tions of the New York clearing house assoication. Lowering of the call money rate from 7 to 6% per cent stimulated the buying movement. Publication of another batch of favorable semi- annual earnings reports, and the cheerful tenor of the weekly trade reviews also helped to revive bullish enthusiasm. Atlantic Refining, after running up more than 6 points, ran into heavy profit-taking, but the other oils, particularly the refining issues, ton climbed 4% points and Union oil of California, Pierce Oil preferred, Mexican seaboard and Sun oil ad- vanced 2 points or more. Motors responded to reports of heavy mid-summer sales of new cars with Chrysler in the forefront of the advance. General Motors was a bit backward on selling inspired by rumors that directors might defer the declaration of an extra cash di- vidend until Inter in the year. In- ternational Nickel, Trico Products, + Coco Cola, Warner Bros. pictures, National Distillers, Johns Manville and American radiator all advanced 3 points or more. Rails were quiet despite the pre- ¢. diction of President Loomise of the Lehigh Valley road that the anthra- cite carriers would show marked im- provement in the last half of the year. 80. ST.
