WRITING STUMP SPEECHES ONLY HOOVER WORRY Preparation of Political Address New Experience for Candidate. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—The way Herbert Hoover looks at it, his chief worry of the presidential campaign is, too many speeches to make raid not enough time to write them. For a week he has been hacking and sawing at his labor address to be delivered Monday at Newark, and when he went to the Union Station to greet President Coolidge this morning he had not yet finished it. The delay has broken up his plans for a two-day fishing trip the end of the week. Writing speeches is something new in Hoover’s life. He has never been in a political campaign before and ne never before ran for public office. Speeches he delivered in many parts of the country before his nomination concerned subjects with which he was intimately familiar—radio, railroad car handlings, shipping, foreign trade and the like. He could write and speak about them from a technical standpoint. Consequently Hoover never developed a free literary style. Now when he must write speeches for history, he has a terrible time. The first printed draft of his Newark speech was finished last week. He has torn it apart since then, and now he does not believe advance copies will be ready for circulation before Thursday.

Sept. 12.—The sight of hundreds of beautiful magpies along the highway while but few are seen in the interior, is one of the puzzles of motoring across the Nevada wastelands or through such a city as Elko. A curious motorist investigated and learned that the dazzling blackbirds, spotted with patches of white feathers, lined the highways waiting - lor dinner. Speeding motor cars kill hundreds of the desert jackrabbits and nothing tastes so good to a hungry magpie as fresh rabbit. So they line the highways.

BIG CORN CROP TO HELP STATE Increase of 6 Million Bushels Is Predicted. An increase of 6,000,000 bushels of corn above the normal Indiana crop will aid Hoosier farmers in combating agricultural depression this year. The normal Hoosier com crop is about 175,000,000 and the crop this fall is estimated at 181,000,000 bushels, according to William H. Howard, Indianapolis Board of Trade secretary.

Howard said the board of trade handled 4,408,000 bushels of oats in August, the largest receipts any month since organization of the trade body in 1882.

ROME, Sept. 12.—The ruins of five ancient cities of Oyrenaica in northern Africa, forming a link between the much-studied Egyptian civilizations to the east and the region being explored by the French in Tunis, are being dug out of their age-long burial in the sand by expeditions under auspices of the Italian government. The name of at least one city of the region is familiar to every Sunday school student, for it was from Cyrene that Simon came, whom the soldiers compelled to bear the cross after Jesus on the way to Calvary. Archeological work in what is Italian Africa was forbidden during the centuries of the old Turkish dominance, but now the restrictions are removed. The region of Cyrenaica originally was colonized by the Greeks during the seventh century before Christ, and during the period of Greek ascendancy was a place of high civilization. It was in its decline at the time of Christ.

What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as

It is our only hope of preventing future catastrophes, but the accomplishment must be based on accomplishments and not words. That is why we criticised the league’s disarmament methods.”

REST PREPARES SMITH FOR LONG CAMPAIGN TRIP Nominee in Excellent Physical Shape; Doesn’t Like to Sleep on Trains. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent ALBANY, Sept. 12.—Ten days of i rest and recreation, interspersed with a few hours daily in his office, have put Gov. Alfred E. Smith in excellent physical condition for his two-week western campaign tour beginning Sunday night. “I never saw him in better shape physically, nor in as good spirits.” Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York commented after a visit this week. Campaign speaking is the hardest task the New York governor does. He throws himself wholly into the effort. He does not have the stren- 1 uous platform antics of a Billy Sunday, though he is a mimic and a pantomimist, but he uses just about as much energy as the evangelist. Governor Smith like many others, finds it difficult to sleep on the train. For that reason, he will stop as often as possible at hotels during his trip, in order to keep himself fresh for his speaking engagements. The Democratic candidate will mak£ no outdoor speeches. He has trouble occasionally with his throat and does not wish to subject it to any risk at this time.
