HOOVER LIKES PUBLICREACTION G. O. P. Nominee Thinks His Speech Reached Rank And File Os Party Palo Alto, Calif., Aug. 15. (U.R) — I The mature reaction to Herbert Hoovj er's acceptance speech as manifest | here led him and his advisors to be- ! lieve tixlay that he again lias reached ' out over the old-line parly leaders and touched the rank and file.

Hoover and his friends believe the reaction to his statement of party principles has been (popular rather than partisan. They say that if he has, he has attained the object of his ’ speech. o — — Schedule For Rehearsals Os Pageant Cast Thursday Morning 9:00 a m.—Trees. 9:30 am.

She tells her ex- | perience as follows: “I suffered agonies with stomach, > liver and kidney trouble for seven ; years, ever since my Ifttle girl was born. I was badly constipated, extremely nervous, and simply worn [ out by loss of sleep and- dreadful pains in my back. I had no pep at ■ all. I was very bilious, had bad dizzy spells, and my complexion turned yellow. I went down to 90 pounds. Gas formed in my stomach j every time I ate anything, and the bloating and cramps pained me ter- | ribly. Food felt like a rock in my stomach. At times the pains were . so intense 1 could hardly breathe. I thought I would die. Nothing gave I me any relief, and I was on the verge of despair when I started to take Viuna. At once I began to improve. I My appetite came back, indigestion I vanished, and now I eat anything I ( w.ant. I sleep tine, am not nervous any more, and never have those ! awful dizzy spells. My skin is clear and I’ve gained ten- pounds. Friends i all say how well 1 look.” Vinna acts promptly on sluggish bowrls, lan- liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appe titeand digestion.gnd brings new strength : and energy Io the whole body. Take a I bottle on trial.

OLD RHYMES GOOD GUIDES TO WEATHER By Joseph S. Wasney, United Press Stuff Correspondent Washington — (U.R) - Farmers now are not greatly interested in almanac weather predictions or long range forecasts but are depending on official went her .reports by radio or their own observations, according to Dr. W. J. Humphreys of the U. S. Weather Bureau. Humphreys believes many of the sayings in regard to the weather, which have been handed down from generation to generation, are based on many observations and are often reliable. “A pretty good guess is to be found in the verse, ‘if the sun sets In gray, the next will be a rainy day,” Dr. Humphreys said. “For example a warning of some value but hot highly reliable is embodied in the verse: ‘‘A rainbow in the morning “Is the shepherd's warning “A rainbow at night "Is the shepherd's delight." Dew Reliable Guide “One of the very best Indicators of the weather for the day is the state of the dew in the morning.” he said, “it gathers on grass and other exposed objects when they are cool enough (<> condense it out of the air, just as moisture is condensed on the side of a pitcher when filled with ice water. •'Now. the grass, and other outdoor things cool considerably only on dear, still nights, the kind that occur during a sjwdl of fine weather qnd at no other time.* Hence a heavy dew means that the air was still and the sky clear, at least during the latter half of the night. And it is prettycertain that if there was neither wind or clouds during that time, the day will be a good one for all outside work. “On the other hand if there was no dew in lhe morning it is almost certain that either the sky was clouded or that there was appreciable wind or both, and both, as a rule precede a general rainstorm by 6 to 12 or even 24 hours. "Consequently there is much reason back of this proverb: “When the grass is dry at morning light ’ vLcok for rain before the night “Whan dew is on the grass "Rain will never come to pass.” Other Verses Dr. Humphreys quoted a number of other verses on weather, which he said contained fairly reliable lore as follows: “The weary sun hath made a golden set “And by the bright track of his fiery car “Gives token of a goodly day to-

morrow." "When the mist creeps up the hill, "Farmer, out with plow and drill. "When the mist begins to nod. “Farmer, leave along your sod.” He explained that the mist lore was on fog. and that cloud rising up a mountain indicated a clear condition but gathering rain when they settle down. There are lots of sayings about clouds but the most reliable is "In tiie morning mountains, in the evening fimntains," he said, adding this is the poetical way of saying that if there are a kit of big clouds In the forenoon, clouds that are caused by surface heating, they are likely to become larger during the day as the surface heating goes on, and later grow into a thunder storm. o Mancie.
