Figures released today by The
Hoover company, in connection with
the anouncement of its three-millionth
cleaner reveals some: startling totals
amassed during the course of producing such a numbers of electric cleaners. According to H. W. Hoover,
president, this marks the first time
that any major electrical device has
reached the three million mark.
While it is customary to associate
the statisticians' labors with larger
products than electric cleaners, such
as automobiles, miles of paving, and
the like, some interesting comparisons
have been compiled by The Hoover
company along this line.
Some idea of the quantities of
of materials that have gone into the
maifmg of 3,000,000 Hoovers may be
gained  frqrn the following:
Nineteen million pounds of aluminum, in the aggerate*, have been re-
craired. Electric cord alone totals
500,000 miles—or more than enough
to circle the earth twenty times at the
equator. Three hundred anel fifty
regulation football fields and part
of the stands—could be covered by
the 2,250,000 square yards of fabric
used for making Hoover dust bags,
The amount of dirt removed from
rugs by Hoover cleaners amounts to
more than 775,000,000 pounels, at a
conservative estimate. It would
take 193,750 two-ton trucks to haul
it away.
One of the company officials said
this morning, in commenting upon this
new record: "To us one of the most
interesting features of this important
new sales record is that it comes in
the midst of a period of dullness. It
would seem to indicate that there is
still plenty of money available for
these household conveniencies that
earn their way by the services they
render."
Figures advanced by this official
show that if all the homes for which
Hoovers have been purchased occupied
fifty-foot lots on one side of a street,
the street would be 26,515 miles long
or three times the length bf the short
cut trip around the world which. Post
and Gatty recently made. Of, the
same number of Hoover homes would
line both sides of four streets extending all the way from New York
to  San  Francisco.
The Hoover sales organization responsible for these sales is now almost
world-wide in scope, for in practically
air the countries where floor coverings
are used to any great extent, Hoovers
are now sold aggressively.

HELP THE NEEDY
Legion Auxiliary Is Asking For Fruit,
' Vegetables, Cans.
TWO long envelopes, and their contents were dropped into the paper
baler this Wednesday morning,
there to rest until removed by men
from the Good Will Industrial Mission
of Canton or the Salvation Army. The
envelopes come from Columbus and
the "contents" were written _ by men
supposed to be posted on political affairs in Ohio, but who are more proficient in slinging mud than in discussing office-holders, candidates for office, or subjects of state.
"Billingsgate" we calleel such stuff
in the old days, but as many of the
men writing in Columbus for both
political parties do not know a fish
market from an abattoir- it would not
hurt their feelings if they learned that
owners of sensitive nostrils call loud-
ly for gas masks before reading the
rubbish sent out by the press bureaus
attacheel to the Republican anel Democratic machines in Columbus.

If Governor White is seen carrying an
umbrella on a rainy day, word is passed to the Republican bureau that he
"swiped it from a poor widow who
had placed it in a corner while she
was down on her knees scrubbing the
stairs." Of course, the widow has a
number of starving children.
The writers go on to say that the
Governor "first ascertained that the-
scrub lady belonged to the Republican
party, afld that he was astonished to
learn that she possessed such a thing
as an umbrella."
Then they call on the manhood of
Ohio to regent this insult to widowhood. After, which they go out in
search of a drink to steady their
nerves.

THE Democrats sitting- in their bureau get a telephone message they
regard as a "hot tip." It has to
do'with Clarence J. Brown, Secretary
of State. "Our man Flim-Flam will
be over right away. Get your typewriters ready."
Flim-Flam calls. He has just learned on "unimpeachable authority" that
Clarence Bi'own no longer loves the
barbers. He has turned Russian and
among the Soviet he is being hailed
as "one of us."
This startlig news calls for a conference. Several hours later large
envelopes are on their way to county
seat papers. Brown, the idol of the
barbers of Ohio, has fallen from his
seat among the bottles of hair tonic
and lies on the floor exposed in all
his' infamy.

The American Legion Auxiliary at

BEN LONG TO SPEAK
Will Link Burgoyne's Surrender and

Ben Long of The Sun has accepted
an invitation to speak before the Open
Forum in Cincinnati on Saturday evening, October 17. His subject will be
"The Surrender of Burgoyne At Saratoga In 1777 and the Surrender of
American Principles In Times of Depression."
October 17 is the anniversary of the
surrender of General Burgoyne.

Mrs. Clarence Zumbach of West
street is a victim of flu. Her cousin,
Mrs. Matilda Braucher French of
Canton, is caring for her. .
ff
OW did they learn that Clarence
J. Brown had gone back on the
barbers? The answer is easy.
Brown has a habit of "jumping in"
when work be'gins to accumulate in
his office, and he stays on the jot>
until his desk is clean. Frequently
he remains in his office until two or
three o'clock in the morning. He
then goes to his lodgings, takes a few
hours sleep ancl returns to work shortly before nine o'clock. He had not the
time to stop at a barber shop, but
will do so later in the day.
One of the clerks in his office had
dropped a Smith Brothers cough drop
box into one of the wastepaper baskets. Mr. Flim-Flam in sleuthing
around had spotted the box anel saw
that the Smith Brothers wear long-
flowing whiskers.
"Ah!" he murmured, "So Clarence
has joined forces with the Smith
Brothers? Yes, sir; he's gone Russian! That will be a dandy piece of
news, for the readers of county seat
papers."
And a few days later, uneler screaming headlines, the genial Secretary of
State is denounced as a Bolshevik in
the journals supporting the Democrats, and Governor White is exposed
to the world in the Republican papers
as "a swiper of umbrellas from poor
scrub ladies on rainy clays."

Silly is the bunk mailed from Columbus, but sillier yet is the voter that
pins his belief to the tales manufactured by the press bureaus attached
to political machines.
The 51st convention of the Stark
county W. C. T. U. held in The Community Christian church on Tuesday
was declared to be "one of the best,
if not the best" ever held by the
county organization. Considerable enthusiasm'was displayed by the members, and they decided to carry the
battle into the enemy's camp whenever necessary.
The "new" officers for the coming
year are the old ones, namely: President, Mrs. Grace Baughman; vice-
president, Mrs. Georgiana Whitacre;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. Mary
Herbert; recording secretary, Mrs.
Mary Austin; treasurer, Mrs. Frank
Wise. .
Increased Membership
Mrs. Baughman presided at the sessions. When reports on membership
were called for it was learned that
Stark county "went over the top" in
the number of members, the • rolls
showing more than last year.
'.Dr. Wise Speaks
The Rev. Dr. E. P. Wise spoke in
the afternoon. He told about his trip
to Cojutepeque, El Salvador, Central
America. The drink traffic in that
country, he declared, is "dreadful." He
said it is a national disease. The philosophy of life in Salvador is "eat,
drink and ■ be merry, for tomorrow
you die."
The liquor business is a government
monoply, but Dr. Wise said that a
number of people in that small republic were not without hope. "There
is a good deal of temperance sentiment there."
He asserted that his friends, Mr.
and Mrs. E. L. Humphrey of Cojutepeque, are doing much to arouse people to the curse of liquor, For 14
years they have been doing "valuable
missionary work in El Salvador."
The Rev. Dr. Wise visited them in
January, February and several days
in March.
Convention Flashes   .   ...
The evening's program opened with
two numbers by the L. T. L. orchestra,
assisted by two members of the Junior members W. C. T. U.
Willis Baughman led the players
and they received the applause they
had earned.
The singing of the Swope Trio was
enjoyed by the many guests at the
dinner tables.
Mrs. W. E. Slagle of Youngstown,
for three terms a member of the Ohio
Legislature, was the speaker of the
evening. Her talk was practical and
full of facts and the figures she presented gave the large assembly much
tp  ponder.
One of the most enjoyable features
of the convention was the .presence
of Mrs. Meredith, who has for so
many years made the W. C. T. U. interests her life work.      '<
Mrs. . Meredith, although eighty
years of age, is vigorous in mind and
is well ■ informed on the happenings
of the day and especially as they relate to the liquor traffic.

Post 419 has sixteen members paid

per cent of the post's membership
and with the other posts of the state
of Ohio means a ten per cent state
membership to back John Elden at the
National Convention in" Detroit. This
effort was made to prove to other
states that Ohio's backing of Elden
was not merely a verbal support but
a practical working organization,
National Convention
The National American Legion convention in Detioit has many problems
to face during this week. It not only
is a responsibility to face the tasks
outlined but an opportunity to serve
again, the nation for which many offered their lives.   Real leadership is
required and we hope that such ability
will  be  found  among those deliberating in -the meetings - at Detroit.     )
To Unveil Tablet
Mark next Sunday, as an important
date on your calendar! The tablet recently placed on the rock in Witwer
park will be dedicated with proper
ceremonies. This occasion will represent the thanks of the community for
the splendid work of our early officials. Every' Legion man is to be at
Harman street at 1:45 p.m. with uniform or cap. The Drum Corps and
firing squad will be there to parade
and participate in the dedication.
The Stark-Carroll council will meet
at Beach City on October 4, at 2:00,

Canton post should plan to be there.
1932  Program
The 1932 program of the American
Legion will emphasize,an educational
program and unemployment. Many
posts are making special efforts by
backing public improvements to enable, men to have work anel make a
living.
Elkins, West Virginia, Guide Rock,
Nebraska, anel Belle Plaine, Iowa,
have backed the construction of municipal swimming pools as an unemployment program. The California Posts
are backing new highways. The Mor-
gantown, West Virginia, Post is building a $50,000 home in. connection with
the armory.

B. B. Beck, clerk of the Stark county courts, was the speaker at the Rotary club on Thursday night. His subject was "At the Shrine of Childhood."
i He quoted from the White House
conference on "Child Health and Protection," held in Washington last November, and said that out of 45,000,-
000 children
35,000,000 are reasonably normal.
6,000,000 are improperly' nourished.
1,000,000 have defective speech.
1,000,000 have weak or damaged
hearts.
675,000 present behavior problems.
450,000 are mentally retarded.
382,000 are tubercular.
342,00 have impaired hearing.
18,000 are totally deaf.
300,000 are crippled.
50,000 are partially blind.
14,000 are wholly blind.
200,000 are delinquent.
500,000 are dependent.
Ten Million Deficients
And so on, to a total of at least
10,000,000 of deficients, more thanSO
per cent of whom are not receiving
the necessary attention, though our
knowledge and experience show that
these deficiencies can be prevented and
remedied to a high degree. The reports you have before you are not
only replete with information upon
each of these groups, they are also
vivid with recommendation for remedy. And if we do not perform our,
duty to these children, we leave them
dependent, or we provide for them
the major recruiting ground for the
army of ne'er-do-wells and criminals.
But that we be not discouraged let
us bear iri mind that there are 35,-
000,000 reasonably normal, cheerful,
happy children, radiating joy and
mischief and hope anel faith. Their
faces are turned toward the light—
theirs is the life of great adventure.
These are the vivid, romping, everyday children, our own and our neighbor's with all their strongly marked
differences—and the more differences
the better. The more they charge us
with their separate problems, the more
we know they are vitally and humanly alive.

He refused to run at the primaries,
saying he believed that it was the
duty of the candidates to file by petition anel thus save the taxpayers approximately $1500. He deserves credit
for that in these days when everybody
except a few professional chronic office-holders are willing to save the
taxpayers money.
When the United States entered the
World War Karl A. Feist was one of
the first to volunteer. They shipped
him over to France and his record
proves that he was a mighty good
soldier. He was in the 'thick of it"

After the armistice, he returned
home and devoted his talents to his
