HOOVER GOOD WILL TOUR
That the first activity of Mr. Hoover as President
elect should take the form of a personal good will tour to
the Republics of Central and South America is an evi
dence of his strong desire to bring the countries of the
western hemisphere into closer accord.
Following the success of Ambassador Morrow in
Mexico and that of Lindbergh and the Army good-will
flyers, the visit of Mr. Hoover to Latin-America may be
expected to bring further happy results, both in the inter
est of international peace and in the benefits to Ameri
can commerce.
For a good while the countries to the South of us have
looked upon the United States with a certain degree ot
distrust. They have felt that we were too prone to inter
fere in their domestic affairs and apparantly feared that
the “Colossus of the North’’ had designs against their
sovereignty.
Any action which will tend to allay these fears and
gain the confidence of our Latin-American neighbors is
important. That Mr. Hoover’s present visit will accom
plish much in this direction can not be doubted.
Christmas suggestions: Ladies, when in doubt, get
him a necktie. Gentlemen, when in doubt, give her money.
Mr. Hoover undoubtedly believes in preparedness,
and his present South American tour ought to show him
how to throw the bull when necessary.
Civilization will become a more successful institution
when it can get more people thinking than it gets talking,
You can’t retire at your first piece of good fortune:
for the rain that makes the crops brings up the weeds, too
To knock is human; to boost divine.
The KOHLER Automatic
produces 110~voli current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allows you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
the feature of “no storage batteries.” This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation.
