NATION FACES NEW CK1S1S.
Food May Have to lie Imported from
Europe.
Washington, D. C., June 1.—De
crease in agricultural production
may result in this country becoming
dependent on overseas food supplies,
Herbert Hoover has declared to Rep
resentative Riddick. of Montana, set
ting forth the former food adminis
trator's views "as to practical
measures to insure better returns to
the farmer for his labor and invest
ment."
Mr. Hoover suggested the creation
of a commission composed of highly
trained farmers and skilled econom
ists and financial experts to con
sider the causes and remedies for the
situation.
Asserting that the present high
pTices of commodities will "sooner or
iater" decrease, Mr. Hoover said
"this deflation must not begin 011
the farmer."
Shortage in production outside the
United States, wild extravagance
and misuse of extended credits for
speculation and profiteering and
nonessential production are contri
buting factors in the present inllat
ed prices, he wrote. When the col
lapse occurs, he predicted, the inter
mediate dealers "will be able to'pass
the greater portion to the back of
the farmer, no matter how carefully
handled."
The burden of taxation is wrongly
distributed, Mr. Hoover declared,
pointing out that the excess profits
tax "is an opportunity for food manu
acturers and distributors to collect
taxes for the government by adding
them to the margin betwen the farm
er and the market."
4,'The whole marketing system in
•mtatf-0four commodities is indirect,
expensive, wasteful, obsolete, and in-
creases the margin unduly, tlxe let-'j je£|
ter continued. "Our manufacturing
industries have developed out of pace
•with our agriculture and labor is be
ing drawn in thousands from the
farm to the town at wages wit..,
which the farmer cannot contend.
A commission studying the whole
situation, Mr. Hoover declared,
"would deal with these things with
that same common sense with which
similar commissions of farmers met
the great economic problems of the
food administration during the war
with equal consideration for farmer,
distributor and consumer.'

Ami Happiness,' Says lrs. Mary
Noble.
"I am now seventy years of age
but I have actually gained twenty
pounds in weight in just a few
weeks time," declared .Mrs. Mary
Noble 914 South Seventh street,
West Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a few
days ago.
"During the past ten years, con
tinued Mrs. Noble, "I have suffered
all the misery that goes with stomach
trouble and nervousness. I had to
be extereniely careful about what I
ate for even the lightest kind ot
food, such as milk toast, sometimes
made me nauseated so 1 was unable
to keep it down. Often 1 became
almost deathly sick and I could
taste mv food or hours atterwards.
Gas would form on my stomach and
press around my heart so that it
palpitated terribly and I got so
short of breath I ottten thought 1
would suffocate. At night 1 was
afraid to go to bed, tor when 1 would
lie down I felt liKe 1 was going to
smother. Mv nerves were in a
wretched condition and at night I
would get so restless I could not lie
in bed and would have to get up
and walk the floor. As a result 1
began to lose in weight and I kept
falling off until I lost about twenty
pounds and was no more than a
shadow of my former self. I was
almost a wreck and the little house
work 1 could do was a drudgery and
I became so discouraged I saw lit
tle pleasure in life.
"About two months ago I started
taking Tanlac and it is just won
derful how it began to build me up
right from the start. My appetite
retUfned
and my troubles gradual-
today I have gained
back all jny lost weight and am once
more enjoying splendid health. It
makes no difference what I eat I
can digest it properly and my heart
action is normal and my breathing
is free and easy, My nerves are
steady, my sleep is sound and rest
ful and every morning I get Up feel
ing refreshed and with plenty of
energv.' Tanlac has given me health,
strength and happiness and I know
of no better wav to show my grati

it so they may benefit by my ex

must have been a hard struggle for

She lived a long life, but she did
not outlive the respect and love in
which she was held in the com

were inanv. but each of them was
full of noble deeds. The last years
of her life were marked by the signs
of age and during the last months
she was confined practically to her
room but through all this she never
uttered a word of complaint but was
satisfied that all is for the best. She
is gone, but her influence remains,
and it will remain a sweet smelling
savor in Garden Grove. We shall
miss her but yet we would not de

complished her task and that her
time of rest had come.

Thieves At AVork in Osceola Get
Away With Arl .Tellers Car.
Some times after midnight, it is
thought about 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning, thieves gained entrance to
the Fredrick Motei* Company gar
age in an unknown manner, opened
the doors and drove virtually a new
Buick six touring car belonging to
Arl Jeffers of Murray, out of the gar
age and made their get-a-way
with it. Mr. Jeffers was an over night
guest at the Clif Mullen home and
onlv drove the car in the garage for
the night. His first tlieught was to
leave it stand in the Mullen yard
but it was nfterwajgds decided to take
it to the garage, .tlr. .Jeffers has the
car insured and while he will not be
able to get ftill value, it's lucky for
him he carried the protection he did.
Various residents heard cars at about
2 o'clock, people sleeping at the
Howe hotel opposite heard car
drive up and two cars drive away
about that time, but thought nothing
of the incident until the Frederick
brothers opened up the place Tues
day morning and found the Jeffers
car missing. The Buick was the
last car driven in the east door in
the evening, so was the easiest taken
out. The door was also opened at
the Collins Frederick & Co.'s sales
room, but nothing is missing, how
ever the proprietors feel the only
reason, was that they would have
bpd to move around an old car to
get a new one out and the thieves
