HARDJNG AND COOUDGE Why shoald we vote for Harding «Xkd Coolidge? We should vote for them because ' the country demands a change in the White House. The people are tired of the inefficiency, misrule and wobbling policies of the Democratic party. The people recognise that the Repoblican party has always guided the destinies of the Nation 'wisely, especially in the days of stress when human problem* pressed for solution. Harding and Coolidge represent the bmf dement hi the Republican party. Both are men of the people who have risen to eminence because of exceptional ability. Both are farm-born. Both worked their way to the top by superior ability. Both retain their love of the people, and are beloved by the Harding, as the- standard bearer, is worthy of our support and our votes. Harding has hewp a straight fur»w. His every vote and public act testify to his dean, straight, honest manhood. Harding ia for peace at home and •broad. He fought against that part •f the Treaty that would involve our country in European broils. He voted to recall our soldiers from Eussia and fought for the safety of eur sons at home and abroad. He has fought for and voted to protect oUr children. He supported ths child labor law. ^ Be has fought' fori and ^jroted for Jews to protect the-^jrkingjuen and to better their conditions. He voted foe the minimum yage scale, the - rivil service retirement law, the rehabilitation at Industrial cripples law •ad other legislation for the betterment of the workers and earners. He has voted for the law against cornering food products and has fought to lower living costs. Sis record on woman suffrage is 4sar. He voted for woman suffrage and lent his aid, his influence •ad his efforts in securing ratification in several states. Both Harding and Coolidge are ' jaen of high moral type, simple and jaasmimntg men, able men. When Harding goes to the White Bouse he will .call into his councils «ad his cabinet the ablest among the Saany able men of the Republican party. We can vote for Harding and Coolidge with the calm assurance ' that they will safeguard our homes, our rights and our country. THAT LEAGUE OF NATIONS The precious League of Nations organized as a guarantee of perpetual peace is functioning well, so well that there are bright prospects of a »ew world war, to say nothing of thirty small ware now under way. | - It becomes daily more evident that the League of Nations' business meant nothing more or less than turn- - ing over the men and resources of the United States for the use of Europe, incidentally making the equally preWilson, president at the yorld. The only reason Europe considered the League of Nations a single minute was because they were deluded with the idea that Wilson could dispose of £he men and resources of America according to his own sweet wilL The nations of Europe were not playing any altruistic game, they were trying to make a big grab and a patriotic — S. Senate is all that prevented Before the armistice was signed, there axe grounds for the statement that a nation wide propoganda was organised to advocate, cancelling the ton billion dollar* loaned by this «onn try to Europe and there ia every Tooaon to believe that K was backed by the administration.

> nn firtili.1. mmm, Oman, praMa* «i the <MM ffius. Nineteen of the 27 Presidents have been members of the legal profession. Massachusetts furnished the [ nation with three Vice Presidents — 2 John Adams, Eibridge, Gerry and Henry Wilson. James A. Garfield, of the Church of * the Disciples was the only ordained preacher to be elected president of the " United States. | The only President or Vice Pre si - . dent to resign was John C. Calhoun, a who resigned the Vice Presidency to r become a United States Senator. Before the convention system was adopted candidates were chosen by caucuses of the meafoers of Congress. f Should Warren G. Harding be successful in the election next Novem- , ber he would be the first Baptist to ~ become president of the United States. He would be the seventh President ( born in Ohio, which would bring the record of the Buckeye State within one of that of Virginia the so-called # "Mother of Presidents." No man holding office as a United ( States Senator has ever been elected to the Presidency. The nearest api preach to it was in t£e case of James : A. Garfield, who was a Senator-elect * when he received the Presidential nomination. Fifty-eight years is the average age I at which men have been elected Presr ident The oldest was William Henry f Harrison, who was 68 at the time he , was inaugurated, and the youngest Theodore Roosevelt, who was 42 when i he Took office. With three execeptions, every Prea- | ident of the United States has been t cradled on a farm or in a small town. t The three exceptions were Andrew Johnson, who was born at Raleigh, I N. C.; Theodore Roosevelt who first ^ saw the light in New York City, and r William "K. Taft, whose birthplace waa Cincinatti. t The double appearance of the letter f A In the name of Warren G. Harding, Republican nominee for President, is , hailed by his friends as a good omen. I I With the exceptions of John Tyler I every president has contained this r letter, the list including Wbodrow I Wilson, Who was christened Thomas. ' j Considering the fact that the Unit- . .ed States has kept practically an | open door for a century and more to , all coiners, and. that millions of Ger- . mans, Scandinavians, Italians and others' have settled in the land, it is t a surprising fact that only two Presj idents have borne other than British surnames. These were both Dutch, , Van Buren and Roosevelt. " ARABIAN NIGHTS' TEACHINGS Dont make yourself too familiar with all sort* of people. The way to j live happily is to keep your mind to yourself, and not tell your thoughts' ^ too easily. Speak not when you are angry; | for as the proverb says, "He that ! keeps silent is out of danger. < Silence is the armament and safe- " guard of jjfe. Our speech ought not to be like a storm of»hail that spoils all. Never did any man yet repent of having spoken too little, wheras many have been sorry that they spoke too much. 3 STRADDLER COX 1 Candidate Cox is quoted as saying i thatJqAas not yet met any Demot crat wrth whom he was not in accord. . No doubt. And that's tl# weakness t of his position. He tells that doughty 5 old irreconcilable, Senator Jim Reed, - one thing about his stand on the • league of nations, and Reed giv«& him i, an "0. K." He tells Mr. Wilson - another thing, and gets the royal "W. . W." He assures the p^ohis that he 1 is for them, winking over their » shoulder at the Tammany Tiger as he l says it. This much Is certain: the ( Democrats are hoplessfy split on sevi eral issues, and if Candidate Cox finds e himself in accord with all factious of I his party he has Janus looking like X a burlesque poster. It can not honests ly be dong. j LEAF FROM THE DEMOCRATIC I LEDGER t — ■ Twenty-two million dollars was e «P«nt for fees to favored contractors, s on camps and cantonments," said Ref preventative James G.

"We expended ■ $1,200,009,000 for the construction of • camps and cantonments, largely by the eost-plur system, a system adopt1 ed by the War Department. By this - system costs were tncressed, labor 1 demoralized, the completion of the : 1 camps was delayed, soldiers called to the colors were subjected to ; oondi1 tions that induced disease and death, ' and from 40 to 60 per cent of the ■ money was wasted. 1 " "The platform of the Democratic I party is a promissory note,' says Gov. Cox. *1 shall see that it is paid in 5 full, every dollar and every cent.' i ■ Which means that, if elected Presi-|. ' dent Mr. Cox will exact from the - American people payment in full for 1 t all the excesses of Democratic mis- > rule included in that platform. Before the public is called upon to write - an endorsement of that note in Nov- 1 . i ember, it i& well that the full extent • of the proposed obligation be made ' known. Here are some of the items > included in the total: t "1. Acceptance of all the obligaI tions of the league of nations cove- - nant, which, if adhered to, means the immediate raising of billions of f dollars and the sacrifice of American 1 , soldiers and sailors to restore peace, » at approximately twenty-two points - 1 on the earth's surface where wars are r now raging.

A continuation of the orgy of ■ extravagance in which the Democratic i administration has wasted already, > billions of the people's money. "4. The appointment of Federal ' i office holders, from Cabinet members < , down, solely from political consider*- - tions, involving untold cost to the taxpayers in loss of efficiency. **• "6. A continuation of the supipe attitude of the iawenforcing branches r of the Government toward profiteers, 1 as a result of which billions of dollars - 1 have been mercilessly forced "from the 5 helpless- consuming public. "6. Divergence of hundreds of • millions of the people's money for the . 1 exploitation of the Southern States, exemplified in the past few years by the fixing of special sugar prices for Southern sugar growers, the expendi1 ture of $70,000,000" for an all-but-use-s less hitrate plant in Alabama, and ^ the. waste of other millions in the de5 pelopment of insignificant waterways - throughout that section of the country. "7. A continuance of the factors that contribute to the high cost of living, such as currency inflation under Federal Reserve system, gross governmental extravagance, and tax laws that discourage industry and stifle production.

Shall we or shall 1 i we not solemnly agree to spend our 1 . billions and sacrifice our lives to pre- 1 i serve as against external aggression ' the territorial integrity and existing 1 ' political independence of all members 1 : of the League?' Cox and Roosevelt ' , answer 'Yes.' Harding and Coolidge * answer 'No.' It is up to the voters 1 I next November to give the Nation's ' i answer in a way that the world and c - .Wilson cannot misinterpret." j 1 CARRYING MORE i When the Government took over the ' railroads on Januar^ 1, 1918, the own- 1 i ed about 2,260,00 freight cars. Of ' - that number 5.7 per cent were re- 1 ported in need of repair and unfit ' | for service. It had been the custom c '■ of the roads to purchase 100,000 new 1 , ears each year to take the place of : ' those used up in the service, but dur- . ' ing all the two years and two months I - of Federal control the Government ' - did not exceed tHat number of addi- | I tions to the rolling stock. Officials | • of the roads declare that today there J > are unfit for use and actually out of | ! sen-ice 50,000 cars more than when I Federal control began, and thousands | s of other cars are kept running which ' - ought to be sent to the shops. These ' r are a few of the disheartening handi- | - caps the road owners had to face ■ 5 when they received their properties « ' back from the Government It is a | fact, however, that in spite of adverse I - circumstances, the roads are moving j f more freight under private manage- ' j ment this year than they did under ! - Federal operation at the same time I ' last year. Given time to overcome i ' the obstacles to efficient management 1 that they inherited from the era of | 1 Government control, the roads will j give the people a transportation j standard that -could never have been ' approached had Federal officials con- j tinued to misdirect their affairs. I ( -- — ! "Our platform is not molasses to j catch flies" quoth the Democrats in I ' their 1912 campaign. But they have j 1 been very careful not to mention i ' molasses or sugar this year.

BOARDER HENS PLUG CP THE HOLE IN THE FEED BIN, BY CULLING | OUT THE BOARDER Long straight back, wrinkled face aad sunken eye topped by overhanging eyebrow, i* "lW brow" in her , whole appearance, the boarder hen is unmistakeable at this season. Boiled ■with gravy she will serve a useful purpose, but her days in the hen yard over. Culling the non-producing hen from the laying flock daring the summer months serves a double purpose. By. getting rid of the birds that have stopped laying there is an immediate gain in having less birds to feed, while the production will remain the as though the boarders had not removed. In fact production often increases because the remainder of the flock have more space in the house and less competition at the feeding noppers. | The second source! of profit of even greater value is the foet that the betbirds are retained as breeders, resulting in a great improvement ' of the stock year by year, the culls growing less in number as the seapass, while the average production of the flock grows greater. The boarder hen is often an early moulter and betrayed by that sign. Again, she • will - have a yellow beak and yellow shanks, as the color in yellow-skinned birds fades during production. The heavier producing birds show an entire absence of beak and. shank color, the latter being ivory white and thin and pliable. The non-producing "bird will have a small shriveled comb, scurfy and pale with the vent amoll, puckered and dr* as opposed to the red. enlarged and velvety comb and swollep and moist vent of the bird that is in laying condition. A hen, to lay better than the average, must begin early hi the fall, lay relatively and heavily each month, especially during the following spring, and continue into the fall of the folseason. Thus the birds are stopping now are those lacking the ability to carry through. Not only will they show the above characteristhat brand them as culls and bethe average, but they will usually manifest a lack of^ capacity in body conformation. Their spa® from back keel bone will "be found' less in the rear than in front, with the entire body depth relatively less than in the better birds. The abdomen will small and shrunken and the skin will be hard and unyielding as opposed to the soft pliable skin of the high producer.
