Statesmen Great and Near Great
BY FRED KELLY

WASHINGTON. May 1S.-Now
that Sen. Warren G. Harding is
billed to step TO the front of the
stage and make the keynote speech
at the republican national conven-
ton next month. there is no use
delaying any longer the account Of
Harding's first public appearance
on any stage.
A person who announced himself
as a marvellous world renowned hyp-
notist came TO Harding's native
town in Ohio for a series of per-
formances. He offered a prize for
the member of his audience who
should come upon the stage and be
mesmerized more successfully than
any of the others.
Young Warren c. Harding
promptly stepped forward and the
professor undertook 10 place him
under the hypnotic influence. The
influence did not have any great
actual effect on Warren, but rather
than spoil the show ne did all the
amusing caprices that were request
ed of him. He entered into the
gay spirit OF the thing so well that
he was a real hit. An enthusiastic
crowd. representing the youth
beauty and chivalry OF the little
community gave him an ovation
such as was due a future Statesman
on his initial appearance. And the
professor unhesitatingiy awarded
him the prize, consisting OF two sill
Yer dollars.

Add 10 the high cost Of living 10
per cent boost in the price of oys-
tiers. The reason of this advance is
simple. II is:
Only recently the oysters heard
of the war in Europe The oyster
is a peace-loving animal, a sort Of
Fordite, and the war has caused him
or her or them great suffering. The
popular song down in the ocean beds
is, Il Didn't Raise Ny Boy 10 Be a
Soldier" and there is a decrease in
the birth rate. Some of the sym
pathetic oysters have just crawled
off and died because Of the war The
crop is growing short, hence the ad-
vance in price.
Gov. Ralston says women must
be good cooks 10 be good wives. At
that. though, some OF our best cooks
are too much developed to make
good wives, especially for little men.

HOPE SMASnES TOWER
C|TY'S LINE FOR SECOND
VICTORY OF the SEASON
Tower City Unable to Stop Progress
Of Doc Moton's Trench Busters

At three o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon a fair sized crowd was
on hand at the local gridiron to
see the battle between the High
School teams of Tower City and
Hope.
The outcome of the game was
not long in the dark after the
kickoff by the visitors. Hope
started to march down the field
with the ball and did not stop
until they had carried it across
the visitors goal line, not only
once but three times before the
game ended. The visitors were
on the defensive most of the
time but in the third quarter
they had the ball on Hopes five.
yard line but we're held for
downs and lost their only oppor-
tunity to score. The final score
was Hope 19, Tower City 0.
AS team the home boys
showed great improvement over
their play against Cooperstown
the week previous, getting their
plays off with more snap and
smoothness. Sussex was the
star of the game making gains
time and again through the line
and on end runs. Mcclellan
showed up we'll in his tackling
and Stevens made some good
gains around the end. The
com bination of Carpenter, Full
mer, Bowling and Reynolds in
the line we're also responsible
for share of the victory as they
opened up some big holes for
the runners. Shorty" Ray
at quarter was on the job sll the
time and used good headwork in
running the team. Joslyn, H.
Ray and Roney also did their
share of good work.
Several attempts were made
at forward passes but none OF
them we're successful. althO the
plays were pulled off nicely and
the passes good. On this feature
the work in the CooperstowD
game was much better.
Coach Morton has the boys
hard at work again this week
getting in shape for the game
next Saturday and if every shing
goes right there may be a mid.
week game following. The big
game of the season is set for
November 4th when Casselton
will come to Hope.

WILSON'S RULE

Not Republicans alone, but Demo-
Gratis as we'll, realize and have voiced,
the extravaganza of the Wilson ad-
ministration, calling attention to one
OF its most vulnerable points. But
added to the Democratic raid on the
| treasury, there are the raids on the
civil service, the indorsment of the
spolis system, a criminal policy in
| Mexico, that has caused the death of
800 Americans, and the destruction of.
the homes and property of 10000
more; and the encoura cement of
armed banditry and outrages.
AT the rate the present admjnistra.
tion is going, the appropriations fo,
