TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL I <>, HO!) SIX PAGES TODAY NUMBER Y2 By Arthur Brisbane HOOVERS HOME ECONOMY— 89 YEARS, HO MILLION— KAHN l.OSES Tin \ Ift I I'D KOCH IS DEAD— President Hoover, believing; that economy .should begin at. home, will put the Presidential yacht Mayflower out of commission. The President will do his yachting in a rowboat when fishing. The country will save $.‘i00,000 a year, i and 1 IN sailors that have wasted j their time on the Mayflower wii! j he assigned to new naval vex- 1 re Is. The Mayflower has been added i to the cost of maintaining a Pres- j ident ever since the days of Then- I do re Roosevelt, and President I Hoover’s determination to diseon- ' tinue a thoroughly undemocratic j arrangement will be. generally up- j preeiated. The people would not grudge | a good President any comfort or j * luxury. But a $'100,000 yacht tack- I ed on to a $75,000 salary seems j fantastic. George F. Baker, dean of Amer ican bankers, ruler of the gigan- i tic First National of New York, Which is one of his minor pus- j sessions, has celebrated his SlHli ! birthday. For every year that he has liv- | ed, Mr. Baker has given at least a million dollars to education and , other good purposes. Everybody wishes him many 1 more years to get and give. Since the people do not yet1 know enough to develop their own resources and supply' what they! need, it is fortunate that they have such men as Baker, Rocke 1 feller and others to show them ' Otto II.

ALLONS, “Let us go," was the last word uttered by Marshall Foeh. It is the first word of the French national hymn that he heard so often, the hymn to which the Revolutionary soldiers march ed from the south of France into Paris. “Allans enfants de la patrie,” etc. The last words of great men, piously collected, have little value. The great men probably did not know what they were saying, Mehr lieht, “more light,” were (the last words of Goethe.

The college plans '■(> invite the chairman of the county boards of agriculture and idle county councils of farm wo-‘ men to attend the convention; bringing with them suggestions | ! |-( ;n their home counties and carrying hack the ideas develop ed at the convention. It was decided also to invite the Honorable Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture, to ad dles* the convention. Other noted speaker's will he Dr. E. C. Brooks President of State College, and W. A.

I’or Mime years now, (he Woman’s club of Southfield has looked alter the upkeep of (lie eemetery. The club has a. kid plot owners to cooper ate by the payment of $2.00 per year each, which together with a small appropriation by the town constitutes the fund for this purpose. “The amount is not suliicient to employ a keeper for his full time, hut the cemetery can be kept in j pretty good shape if the plot owners will pay promptly their dues,” states Mrs. S. T. Honeycutt, the treasurer of this fund. The keeper is now j at work and the ladies in ! charge of the cemetery are aoxic us that enough funds be forthcoming to keep him there a suliicient length of time to have the entire cemetery look ing trim and neat. It is hoped that this notice wijl he a re minder to plot owners who have overlooker}, this matter. This cooperative plan is much less expensive than for indi viduals to keep the weeds cut and grass mowed.
