Any American has the right to quit his »mployment, so has every American he right to seek employment. The roup must not endanger the individu il, and we must discourage groups reying upon one another and none ihall be allowed to forget that the government's obligations are alike to ill the people.

It must this republic and a very sacred and solemn undertaking to utter the faith and aspirations of the many millions who adhere to that party. "The party platform has charted th# way, yet, somehow, we have come to expect that interpretation which voices the faith of nominees who must aa sume specific tasks. "Let me be understood clearly froa the very beginning. I believe in party sponsorship of government. I believ* in party government as distinguished from personal government, individual, dictatorial, autocratic or what not No man is big enough to run thti great republic. There never has been oue. Such domination was never ia tended.

It emphasizes the pres ent-day problem and suggests that spirit of encouragement and assistance which commits all America to relieve such an emergency. "Gross expansion of currency and credit have depreciated the dollar ju3t ts expension and inflation have dis credited the coins of the world. We inflated in haste, we must deflate in deliberation. We debased the dollar In recklees finance, we must restore in honesty. In all sincerity we prom ise the prevention of unreasonable profits, we challenge profiteering with all the moral force and the legal powers of government and people but it is fair, aye, it is timely to give reminder that law is not the sole corrective of our economic ills. Let us call to all the people for thrift and economy, for denial and sacrifice if need be for a nationwide drive against extravagance and luxury to a (^committal to simplicity of living, to that prudent and normal plan of life which is the hsalth of the republic. Kew conditions, which attend amazing growth and extraordinary industrial development call for a new and for ward looking program. The American farmer had a hundred and twenty millions to feed in the home murket and heard the cry of the world foi food and answered it, though he faced an appalling task lid handicaps never encountered before. Coutem plating the defenselessnesa of the in dividual farmer to meet the organized buyers of his products and the dis tributors of the things the farmei buys, I hold that farmers should nol only be permitted but encouraged tfl join in co-operative association tc reap the juat measure ol reward merited by their arduous toil. Oui platform is an earnest pledge of re newed concern for this most essen tial and elemental industry and ir both appreciation and interest w« pledge effective expression in law and practice. We will hail that co-opera tion which again will make profitable and desirable the ownership and op eration of comparatively small farmi Intensively cultivated, and which wii facilitate the caring of the producti of farm and orchard without the la mentabbi wast* under present oondi tions. "America wQuld look wUh aixletj on the discouragement of farming activity either through the govern ment's neglect or its paralysis by so cialistic practices. A Republican ad ministration will be committed to re new regard for agriculture, and seek the participation of farmers in cur ing the ills justly complained of, and aim to plaoa the American farm wber« it ought to be, highly ranked in Ameri can activities and fully sharing th« highest good fortunes of American ,life. "Becomingly associated with thii subject are the policies of irrigation and reclamation, so essential to agri cultural expansion, and the continued development of the great and wonder ful west.

Earnest Work Brings Succeat. No class of men have a monopoly of opportunity. History is filled with rec ords of the poor man's progress. As the raee Is Dot always to the swift, so is success uot always to the naturally talented. It's the man who trains the talents he has who rises above his fel lows. How often have we seen the man whom tb neighbors all looked Upon ns a ge:Hus flush into a temporary prom inence soon to give place to the ordi nary but tireless worker who substi tuted ceaseless effort and constant pains for special gifts. The fact Ui men of exceptional talents often lean upon them and cease to make real ef forts to Improve. You will find them in middle life where they were In youth. Often they are disappointed. and grouchy creatures criticizing the ef forts of others who attempt on meager talents to do what they ought to have done. They have made no progress in developing their own personality. Joy in Winning Success*., t^he training of personality eften a matter of compulsion. Men shun loads and dodge responsibilities when ever they can. They covet ease and wealth and try taking the shortest road to if. That may land them there and It may not. Usually men have to rise through struggle. That has a way of making men turn to themselves fyr what they get. Others are busy with the same Job and they can't give help to anyone. As men learn to do they develop power to do and event ually the love "of doing takes posses sion of them. It's not just a matter of poetry, but It's according to fact.

SETTLED QUESTION OF HAIR After Experience With Kerosene, Cap tain Hopkins Had Not Any Fur thee Worry About It.

Hair i*.'tiies have netted fortunes for their Imcntors and there are countless rein edies of the old housewife, some of which, such a.* the application of kero sene, make the writer, at least, feel that the disease might be preferable to the cure.

As the*' cabin of the captain's brig was small, the table was laid un der awnings on top of the cabin.

Captain Hopkins tried it and enrne to have great faith In it, "go ing around with his head glistening, and an odor distilling from him like a iVnnsylvMiiia oil derrick."
