told her something also.
At any rate, they became extremely

Can you really beat the price of eggs

Do you think that a Senator has any

Ohio Republicans also have two

Harding and Myron T. Herrick
Harding stock was pretty high at
one time, but has declined RECENTLY
Ohio is for the league Of nations.
Harding is not. The people feel
that he. is a poor reflector of their
convictions. As Harding's stock
has deprecated there has been a
stiffening of Herrick stock. The
report has been circulated that
Herbert Hoover has picked Herrick
as the one best bet for the Repub-
