HERBERT HOOVER

DESCENDED FROM

CITY'S FOUNDER

hood Dictator Has Distant

Relatives Here Now, Poundstone Learns.

Up to People to Get

Water Works; Says Bond

Bv RAMSEY POUNDSTONE

WASHINGTON, July 16. It prob-

Mably will be news to Wayne county people that Herbert C. Hoover, federal

- food administrator and the "Savior of

Belgium," Is a direct descendant of

David Hoover, the founder of Rich

mood..' Mr. Hoover now has some distant . relatives residing in Richmond. His Immediate forbearers were Quakers. . " . : .Right now. the American housewife is giving Mr. Hoover considerable 'trouble. In a torrent of letters, many coming from Indiana, she resents the open charge that she is wasteful. She objects to putting on choap calico aprons and being told that she must save by the teaspoonful and the halt ' ounce. 'Ah! Men Are Wasters. i Mrs. Housewife is Informing this 'i hirH.wfirbMi areat-creat-grandson of

'' the founder of Richmond, Ind., that ' tv man ar tha real wasters. Male

consumers, wholesalers and ' retailers, all waste In enormous quantities, and

the women point out that all their efforts-will be as naught so long as this I

condition Is allowed to prevail. The feminine protest with the housewives of the country has been taken by Hoover and bis assistants. Instead of laying special . stress . on minor methods of saving the food administration from this time on willput emphasis on the necessity for saving in every branch of food consumption. "Smokeless Day" Urged. VSome .of the. women have answered

: Hoover's urglngs for a "wheatless day" nd a "meatless day" by suggesting a "smokeless day." They have pointed out that vast areas now given over to the production of tobacco could be planted in grain. Mr. Hoover has not been allowed to forget that "we want the ballot so we can have a hand in all this price fixinr " and h believes that the present

attitude of the American women toward the food administration can be directly traced. In many instances, to the agitation for woman suffrage. "If the women, do this job well," said Mr. Hoover, "and I believe they will do it well they deserve "the vote as soon as the' present crisis has ; passed."; ' From a well known woman residing in the Sixth district comes a suggestion.-embodied in a letter to Congressman Elliott, for increasing? the coun- ; try's war revenue. She advises a law -requiring all men not in the military service to wear a button, those buttons to be purchased from the government. Large Wheat Yield - Seen at Jacksonburg

JACKSONBURG, Ind.. July 16. Wheat harvesting in this community .. lir bringing promising returns, the yield in many instances being estimated at. 30 to 35 bushels an acre...

The grain experts " graded many of the wheat crops at 95 and 100 per cent.... Last fall Mrs. Naomi Oorman put out a few strawberry plants in her garden and this spring she told sixty quarts of berries from the patch at 15 cents a quart in addition to what she used herself.

City officials see other ways of ac

quiring a waterworks besides having

a law embodied in the state constitution. - . . ,

The eitv's hands are tied, however,

for at least two years and possibly

longer by the calling on or me constitutional convention by the state supreme court. City officials had planned to organize a movement for the enactment of a law to be embodied in the state constitution which was to be drafted in convention next January, raising tbe borrowing power of cities

when the money is to oe usea in me purchase of a self-sustaining utility. Unable to Buy. ,-Under present constitutional provisions th Htv Aould not Durchase the

waterworks as their borrowing power ia limited to two Der cent, of the to

tal taxable valuation of properties.

"It s up to the people oi nicnmona whether or , not they want a waterworks Owned . and operated by the

city," City Attorney Bond said.

Attorney. Bond will draft a law to be presented the next state legislature giving authority to a private com-

tn fnr the nurchase of a public

utility to be "held in trust" for the

city, which will be a stocicnoiaer the company. Under the law the plant would be turned over to the city after it pays for itself.
