Getting Ahead by J. R. Barkley
A long, reflective piece tracing a Moulton area retailer who rebuilt on a forty acre Iowa farm growing fruit and selling plants via a labor heavy operation. The author compares opportunity in new markets and roads to a broader view of Hoover and Republican politics. Mussolini’s press freedom stance and Italy’s push toward Abyssinia are examined alongside liberty in journalism.

Advice to graduates from Hoover echoes in hard work ethic
The speech recounts Hoover telling Stanford graduates to value practical effort after his own post graduate work started in a mine. He argues that employers reward hands on experience and character, not diplomas, and cites a student who found success by taking a blue collar path rather than seeking easy indoor work.

Looking Ahead to 1936 Coalition Talk in Presidential Battle
The piece argues conservative Democrats increasingly oppose the Roosevelt era and may push for a cross party ticket or a Gold Democrat style split. It predicts anti Roosevelt Democrats will explore independent or intra party revolts rather than a full Republican nomination of a Democrat, noting historical parallels with 40 years ago.

Gold and Silver Hoards Backing U S Currency
Treasury and Federal Reserve hold record gold stock totaling 9.016 billion dollars and silver bullion of about 815.66 million dollars. Secretary Morgenthau notes silver purchases since 1934 average 73 cents per ounce, with policy aiming for one third silver to gold by stock.
