OHIO SENATOR'S
HAT IS IN RING

Washington, Dec. l0-United
State Senator Warren G. Hard
ing's boom for the Presidency
was thrust into the full limelight
Tuesday by statement from him
that within few days he would
declare himself to be a candidate
for that Office, without reserva-
tions," and by resolution of in
dorsement on the part of the Ohio
delegation in Congress.
AS result it is the impression
of the "inside" comment at the
meeting of the Republican Ma
,tional Committee that Harding
shortly will take the place of Gov.
Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois, as
the "runner-up" in the fight te
displace Major General Leonard
Wood, now far in the lead in the
race for the nomination.
The Illinois executive is said to
be falling back because of his im-
mense fortune, estimated to be
$20,000,O00, and his membership
the Pullman family. .e

have prepared the case so that the
state will collect nearly $4,000,000 in

he intends to make his plans for

Mr.. Forest March, who will

SIXTY MILLIONS ! J.
IN ROAD BONDS

Because of the leaders of the
incoming administration are said
to be opposed to any increase in
the tax rate for any purpose, a
$60,000,000 road bond issue, it is
said may be the solution of the
road problem. Their plan also
contemplates en- automobile IL
cense tax sufficient to pay the in
terest on the bonds and create
a sinking fund for their retire
ment. The proposition to have
the General Assembly designate
a system of State highways to be
built with the bond issue is re-
ceiving considerable attention
and the proposed horsepower tax
put forward by Road Commis-
sioner Joe S. Boggs is likely to
be included.

Persons who have sickness or death
in family.
Business men who must go to plants
TO save them from harm.
Travelling statesmen.
Here is the order to the public in
general:
Do not travel if you can help it.
If you must travel, take your lunch
box; trains will have but one diner, if
any.
Do not send Christmas pres ,nts tn -
the mails, express or parcel post; buy
them and send them when things be-
come normal.

1878 TOBACCO CROP
\ SMALLER THAN 1918

According to the latest avail
able government statistics the to-
bacco crop of the United Staes for
1919 will be smaller than that of
last year by 23,4oo,000 pounds, o
2 per cent. The November figures
indicate an Improvement in IL
crop during the month, however,
amounting to 38,49l 900 pound
about 3 per cent. The averag'
Yield per acre for the current year
is placed at 724 pounds, which j
E78.l pounds under the ten-year
average. The estimated quality
of the 1919 crop is a per cent low
er than the ten-year average.
In Kentucky indications point
to "a larger crop than last year,
despite the frequent assertions OF
tobacco authorities generally that
there has been a material reduc-
ton. North Carolina and Virginia
ranking next in importance, both
show reduced production for this
year while the Tennessee crop
seems to be materially increased.
In the different sections of the
country early sales give every iii
dication of a continuance of las.
seasons high prices with a decid
cd tendency toward higher levels
