There is only one way to establish
this country: Jones, who is worth
$500 must get over the idea that he
can keep up with Smith, who is worth
$500,000. The longer we live the
more we are convinced that the near-
• est approach to happiness is the stern
decision of the individual to be happy
•within his financial means. In 1931
quite a few of us are in a sad plight
financially because time was when we
all were four-flushers. Simplicity of
living is the thing.—Atchison Globe.
HOOVER’S PLAN MAY
OPERATE BY SATURDAY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—President
Hoover’s plan for speeding prosper-
ity”s return was spurred forward
Thursday by the whole-hearted co-
operation of America’s financial ti-
tans.
The half-billion-dollar credit pool
proposed by the chief executive is to
"be formally incorporated by Saturday.
•Soon afterward it will be put to its
task of loosening the frozen assets
now clogging the channels of com-
merce.
Mr. Hoover received this word dur-
ing the day from Governor Harrison
of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank, to whom was given the assign-
ment of marshaling the Nation’s re-
serve dollars into this momentous
shove for better times.
In the meanwhile there was un-
folded an intimate tale of the careful
methodical planning from which the
project grew, including a secret meet-
ing between the President and a group
•of influential bankers Sunday night
at Secretary Mellon’s apai’tment.
During the day Mr. Hoover deliv-
ered a brief address before the fourth
Pan-American commercial conference
and brought 600 delegates from the
nations of the New World to their
feet-in a rousing ovation.
If international loans had been de-
voted to productive purposes in the
last.four years, Mr. Hoover said, much
of the seriousness of the economic
situation would have been averted.
The day also saw a new demand for
3 special session of Congress from
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader. He said Mr. Hoo-
ver’s program was sound, as far as
it went, but that much supplemental
congressional action was needed. Rep-
resentative Snell of New York, a
prominent Republican candidate for
the speakership, issued a statement
opposing the extraordinary session.

Traveling man (to acquaintance
watching hotel fire)—“Nothing to
get excited about. I took my time
about dressing; lighted a cigaret;
didn’t like the knot in my necktie
and retied it; that’s how cool I was
before I left that burning structure.”

your pants on?”
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hinkle of Bal-
linger, Mrs. W. J. Waggoner of Dal-
las, and Mrs. Clarence McVey of Ft.

after a short visit here in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Waggoner.
some months after Chandler’s visit,
the claim, covering October, 1925, and
April, 1926, terms of Lee county dis-
trict court was scaled down to
$7912.10 and a deficiency warrant is-
sued for that amount. The deficiency
warrant, however, has never been paid.
“I pointed out the items we consid-
ered illegal and told Judge Price the
state was not liable for those,” Chan-
dler testified. “I had with me and
called Judge Price’s attention to an
opinion of the supreme court in which
it was held that a sheriff was entitled
to fees, only for each mile actually
traveled regardless of the number of
witnesses subpoenaed in one communi-
ty in one visit.”
