O’NEILL AND BLOOMFIELD
TO MEET AT OAK VIEW
Baseball fans throughout North
eastern Nebraska will have a chance
to witness one of the best base ball
games of the season when O’Neill and
Bloomfield get together on the Oak
View diamond at Oak View park near
Venus on Friday, August 24th, for a
side bet of $50000.
Manager Fred McNally has been
receiving letters from a number of in
terested fans congratulating him for
matching the game and promising him
large delegations for their localities.
Bloomfield has a good team and has
been playing wonderful ball this year
but O’Neill also has a good team and
fully believe they can beat Bloomfield
on neutral grounds with a nuetral
umpire.
EARL ERNEST WAGERS.
The Sioux City Tribune of last week
carried the following account of the
funeral services for Earl Ernset Wa
gers, of Sioux City. Mr. Wagers was
well known throughout the eastern
part of the county where he was born
and grew to manhood:
“Last rites will be held at 9:30
o’clock Tuesday morning in Holy
Trinity Catholic church at Hartington,
Nebraska, for Earl Ernest Wagers,
forty-one years old, 101 Swanson
Apai*tment traveling, salesman and
resident of Sioux City and Grand Is
land for many years. He died late
Saturday in a hospital here after an
operation.
“Bom at Page, Nebraska, Decem
ber 14, 1887, Mr. Wagers lived there
a number of years and then moved to
Grand Island where he resided until
three years ago when he came here.
“Surviving are his widow Mrs. Pau
line Wagers and a son, Cyril, twelve
years old, of Sioux City, his mother,
Mrs. Magdaline Wagers, of Harting
ton, three brothers, Sylvester, of Fort
Calhoun, Nebraska, M. D. Wagers, of
Winside, Nebraska, and M. A. Wa
gers, of Winside, Nebraska; three
sisters, Mrs. Max Milkie, of Los An
geles, and Mrs. A. L. Mengshal and
Miss Helen Wagers, both of Harting

HOOVER ON FARM RELIEF:
An adequate tariff Is the founda
tion of farm relief
Working out agricultural relief
Is the most Important obligation of
the next Administration.
The object of our policies Is to
• establish for our farmers an Income
equal to those of other occupations.
Farming Is and must continue an
Individualistic business of small
units and Independent ownership.
If the farmers’ position is to be
Improved by larger operations it
must be done not on the farm, but
in the field of distribution.
Our platform lays a solid basis
upon which we can build. It offers
an affirmative program.
Nature has endowed us with a
great system of Inland waterways.
Their modernization will comprise
a substantial contribution to mid
west farm relief and development
of 20 Interior states. There Is no
more vital method of farm relief.
PALO ALTO, Calif.—Herbert Hoo
ver met the farm question fairly and
squarely in hi* Address of Acceptance
at the Stadium of Stanford University.
Nearly one-third of his address was
devoted to this subject, which Hoover
termed "the most urgent economic
problem In our nation today.” He de
clared bluutly that farm relief must
not be delayed by any monetary con
siderations, urging that "a nation
which is spending ninety billions a
year can well afTord an expenditure of
a few hundred millions for a workable
program that will give to one-third of
Its population their fair share of the
national prosperity.”
The candidate pledged himself to a
farm-aid plan In which farmers shall
themselves control and administer the
federal financial assistance which Le
proposes to pu.‘. into effect.
“The most urgent economic problem
in our nation today is in agriculture,”
he said. “It must be solved if we are
to bring prosperity and contentment
to one-third of our people directly and
to all of our people indirectly. We
have pledged ourselves to a solution.
"In my mind most agricultural dis
cussions go wrong because of two
false premises. The first is that agri
culture Is one industry. It is a dozen
distinct industries incapable of the
same organization. The second false
premise is that rehabilitation will be
complete when It has reached a point
comparable with pre-war. Agriculture
waB not upon a satisfactory basis be
fore tiie war. The abandoned farms
of the northeast bear their own testi
mony. Generally there was but little
profit in midwest agriculture for many
years except that derived from the
slow increases in farm land values.
Even of more Importance is the great
advance in standards of living of all
occupations since the war. Some
branches of agriculture have greatly
recovered, but taken as a whole it is
not keeping pace with the onward
march in other industries.
Cau - and Effect
“There are many causes for failure
of agriculture to win its full share of
national prosperity. The after-war de
flation of price* not only brought great
direct losses to the farmer, but he
was often left Indebted in inflated dol
lars to be paid in deflated dollars.
Prices are often demoralized through
gluts in our markets during the har
dest season. Local taxes have been in
creased to provide the improved roads
and schools. The tariff on some prod
ucts is proving Inadequate to protect
him from imports from abroad. The
increases in transportation rates since
the war has greatly affected the price
which he receives for his products.
Over six million farmers in times of
surplus engage in destructive competi
tion with one another in sale of their
product, often depressing prices below
those levels that could be maintained.
“The whole tendency of our civiliza
tion during the last 50 years has been
jtoward an Increase in the size of the
units of production in order to secure
lower coets and a more orderly ad
justment of the flow of commodities
to the demand. But the organization
of agriculture into larger units must
not be by enlarged farms. The farmer
has shown he can Increase the skill of
Ms industry without large operations.
He is today producing 20 per cent
more than eight years ago with about
the same acreage and personnel.
Farming is and must continue to be
an individualistic business of small
units and independent ownership. The
farm is more than a business; it is a
state of living. We do not wish it con
certed into a mass production ma
chine. Therefore, if the farmers’ posi
tion is to be improved by larger opera
tions it must be done not on the farm
but in the field of distribution. Agri
culture has partially advanced In this
direction through co-operatives and
1 la. But the traditional co-operative
is often not a complete solution.
“Differences of opinion as to both
causes and remedy have retarded the
c mpletion of a constructive program
cf relief. Jt is our plain duty to search
out the common ground on which we
may mobilize the sound forces of agri
cultural reconstruction. Our platform
lays a solid basis upon whioh to build.
It offers an affirmative program.
Tariff and Waterways
"An adequate tariff Is the foundation
of farm relief. Our consumers increase
; faster than our producers. The do
! mestic market must be protected. For
I eign products raised under lower
! standards of living are today compet
j lng in our home markets. I would use
: my office and influence to give the
j farmer tho full benefit of our historic
| tariff policy.
"A large portion of the spread be
i tween what the farmer receives for
; his products and what the ultimate
1 consumer pays is due to increased
transportation charges. Increase in
[ raiiw'ay rates has been one of the pen
| alties of the war. These increases
! have been added to the cost to the
| farmer of reaching seaboard and for
| eign markets and result therefore in
| reduction of his prices. The farmers
of foreign countries have thus been in
directly aided in their competition
with the American farmer. Nature
has endowed us with a great system
of inland waterways. Their modern
ization will comprise a most substan
tial contribution to midwest farm re
lief and to the development of twenty
of our interior states. This moderntza
ation includes not only the great Mis
sissippi system, with its joining of the
Great Lakes and of the heart of mid
west agriculture to the Gulf, but also
a shipway from the Great Lakes to tho
Atlantic. These improvements would
mean so large an increment in farm
ers’ prices as to warrant their con
struction many times over. There is
no more vital method of farm relief.
"But we must not stop here.
"An outstanding proposal of the Par
ty prograta is the whole-hearted
pledge to undertake the reorganization
of the marketing system upon sounder
and more economical lines. We have
already contributed greatly to this
purpose by the acts supporting farm
co-operatives, the establishment of in
termediate credit banks, the regula
tion of stockyards, public exchanges
and the expansion of the Department
of Agriculture. The platform proposes
REPUBLICAN RECORD
Our problems of the past seven
years have been problems of re
construction; our problems of the
future are problems of construction.
They are problems of progress.
During these years our popula
tion has Increased eight percent.
Yet our national Income has In
creased 45 percent. The number
of families has increased 2,300,000
and we have built 3,500,000 new
and better homes. We have
equipped 9,000,000 more homes
with electricity, and through It
drudgery has been lifted from the
lives of women. The barriers of
time and distance have been swept
away and life made freer and
larger by the Installation of 6,000,
000 more telephones, 7,000,000
radio sets and the service of an
additional 14,000,000 automobiles.
By rigorous economy, federal ex
penses have been reduced two bil
lions annually. The national debt
has been reduced six and a half
billions. Taxes have been reduced
four successive times. We have
doubled savings deposits and near
ly doubled life insurance.
President Coolidge has not only
given a memorable administration,
he has left an Imprint of rectitude
and statesmanship on our country.
to go much farther. It pledges the
creation of a Federal Farm Board of
representative farmers to be clothAl
with authority and resources with
which not only to still further aid
farmers' co-operatives and pools and
to assist generally in solution of farm
problems but especially to build up
with federal finance, farmer-owned
and farmer-controlled stabilization cor
porations to protect the farmer from
the depressions and demoralization of
seasonal gluts and periodical sur
pluses.
Will Cost Money
"Objection has been made that this
program, as laid down by the Party
Platform, may require that several
hundred millions of dollars of capital
be advanced by the Federal Govern
ment without obligation upon the in
dividual farmer. With that objection
I have little patience. A nation which
is spending ninety billions a year can
well afford an expenditure of a few
hundred millions for a workable pro
gram that will give to one-third of its
population their fair share of the na
tion’s prosperity. Nor does this pro
posal put the government into busi
ness except so far as it is called upon
to furnish initial capital with which to
build up the farmer to the control of
his own destinies.
‘‘This program adapts itself to the va
riable problems of agriculture not only
today but which will arise in the fu
ture. I do not believe that any single
human being or any group of human
beings can determine In advance all
questions that will arise in so vast and
complicated an industry over a term
of years. The first step is to create
an elective agency directly for these
purposes and to give it authority and
resources. These are solemn pledges
and they will be fulfilled by the Re
publican Party. It is a definite plan of
relief. It needs only the detailed elab
oration of legislation and appropria
tions to put it into force.
"During my term as Secretary of
Commerce I have steadily endeavored
to build up a system of co-operation
between the government and business.
Under these co-operative actions all
elements interested in the problem of
a particular Industry such os manufac
turer, distributor, worker, and con
sumer have been called In council to
gether, not for a single occasion, but
for continuous work. These efforts
have been successful beyond any ex
pectation. They have been accom
plished without interference or regu
lation by the government. They have
secured progress in the industries,
remedy for abuses, elimination of
waste, reduction of cost in production
and distribution, lower prices to the
consumer, and more stable employ
ment and profit, While the problem

varies with every different commodity
and with every different part of our
great country, I should wish to apply
the same method to agriculture so
that the leaders of every phase of each

has done in other industries, can
benefit farmer, distributor and con

stand pledged to these proposals. The
object of our policies is to establish
for our farmers an income equal to
those of other occupations; for the
farmer’s wife the same comforts In
her home as women in other groups;
for the farm boys and girls the same
opportunities in life as other boys and
girls. So far as my own abilities may
be of service, I dedicate them to help
secure prosperity and contentment in
that industry where I and my fore
fathers were born and nearly all my
family still obtain their livelihood.
“The Republican Party has ever been
the exponent of protection to all our
people from competition with lower
standards of living abroad. We have
always fought for tariffs designed to
establish this protection from Import
ed goods. We also have enacted re
strictions upon immigration for the
protection of labor from the inflow of
workers faster than we can absorb
them without breakiug down our wage
levels.
“The Republican principle of an ef
fective control of imported goods and
of immigration has contributed greatly
to the prosperity of our country. There
is no selfishness in this defense of our
standards of living. Other countries
gain nothing if the high standards of
America are sunk and if we are pre
vented from building a civilization
which sets the level of hope for the
entire world. A general reduction in
the tariff would admit a flood of goods
from abroad. It would Injure every
home. It would fill our streets with
Idle workers. It would destroy the
returns to our dairymen, our fruit,
flax, and livestock growers, and our
other farmers.”
Prohibition
On the subject of prohibition, Mr.
Hoover repeated his recent declara
tion: "I do not favor repeal of the
18th Amendment. I stand for efficient
enforcement of laws enacted thereun
der. Our country has deliberately un
dertaken a great social and economic
experiment, noble in motive and far
reaching in purpose. It must be
worked out constructively.” And he
added the following comment:
“Common sense compels us to re
alize that grave abuses have occurred
—abuses which must be remedied. In
vestigation can alone determine the
wise method of correcting them.
Crime and disobedience of law cannot
be permitted to break down the Con
stitution and laws of the United
Stater
“Modification of the enforcement
laws which would permit that which
the Constitution forbids is nullifica
tion. This the American people will
not countenance. Change in the Con
stitution can and must be brought
about only by the straightforward
methods provided in the Constitution
itself. There are those who do not
believe in the purposes of several pro
visions of the Constitution. No one
denies their right to seek to amend
it. They are not subject to criticism
for asserting that right. But the Re
publican Party does deny the right
of anyone to seek to destroy the pur
poses of the Constitution by indirec
tion.
“Whoever is elected President takes
an oath not only to faithfully execute
; the office of the President, but that
: oath provides still further that he
I will, to the best of his ability, pre
serve, protect and defend the Con
stitution of the United States. 1
should be untrue to these great tra
ditions, untrue to my oath of oflic#,
were I to declare otherwise.”
CELIA NEWS.
Elmer and Walter Johnson and
nephew of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Johson,
came up from Oakland Monday even
ing to help in the hay field a few days.
The Harold Kirkland family enjoy
ed dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
Kazda Sunday. They brought some
ice and had a generous treat of ice
cream.
Hay making is worse than shearing
a pig this year. More noise than hay
and a sight harder on the machinery.
A lot of stock will go hungry this
winter unless sold off %>r feed is im
ported.
The Celia singers were booked to
sing at the Leonia church Sunday but
on account of the trip to Oakland,
were prevented attending. Their tal

the horse had to be killed.
Ray Aldridge left for Boulder, Col

Mrs. Isabelle Aldridge, who has been

brothre-in-law, Chas. Keeler. Miss
Mollie Frickel went along also for an
indefinite stay.
It was necessary for J. V, Johnson
to make a trip to Oakland, Saturday
a week ago, in the community truck
