HARDING'S PANAMA TRIP
AROUSES MEXICAN INTEREST

MEXICO CITY, Mexico Mexicc
took tremendous interest in Presi-
dent-elect Harding's visit to Texas
Political leaders are hoping that Tex.
ans who favor recognition were able
to bring Mr.. Harding around to their
way Of thinking. III
Much publicity was given the re-
port that Mr.. Harding and President
Alvaro Oregon, OF Mexico, would
meet while Mr. Harding was in
Texas, but it was understood that
there was little basis for the report
and General Oregon acted with
great caution in the matter.
Despite the burden of business be-
cause of his approaching Inaugural
ton, 1t is said, President Obregon
would have hastened to meet Mr..
Harding had the invitation been ex-
tended. He was non-committal about
going to the border for meeting
until a dispatch stated that Mr.. Hard
ing had said that the report sent
out from Brownsville had no par
ticular foundation. Then he announc-
ed that he could not go from the
capital to the border. .s +,

HOUSE MOVED DURING BLIZZARD

| URBANA, Ohio.-Did you ever
know of blizzard doing anybody a
good turn?
Listen to this!
| A. G. Nichols at West Liberty:
near here bought house on the new
school building site.
He started moving it east on
Newell street to another lot when he
was stopped by the telephone COM
panW which filed an injunction suit,
claiming the moving operations
would disturb their wires.
AS consequence the house stood
In the middle Of the street.
Things looked pretty blue for
Nichols, who was in about the same
position as Pat, full of corn juice,
and holding onto a lamppost-he
couldn't go anywhere and couldn't
stay where he was explained
local citizen. g.l
Then something mysterious hap
pened.
That night there was a heavy wind
followed by snow.
Next morning, passersby found the
house on the lot where Nichols
wanted 1t to 60. The telephone wires
were intact and there we're no signs
In the snow, a foot deep, that any
human being had violated the courts
Injunction.
Some folks wore smiles, but no
one seemed to know how it hap
pened.

She believed him, and pale and In

money for his service, which Ivan re-
fused, and imploring him to keep the
entire matter secret.
Ivan had forgotten all about this in

to signalize their Christmas dinner
and was an object Of immense inter

Levi had set some hay under the fowl,

spirit of the season infected all hands.
Then queer thing happened. John
Helmsby dropped In several times
during the week. He evinced a new
and mysterious interest in his poor
tenant, Then, just day before
Christmas. he brought his daughter
with him. Mr.. HelmsDy had been told
all about the goose and the expectant
egg, and his daughter had to be shown
the priced fowl by little Levi.
She gave Ivan an intense look as
she departed, and the honest peddler
was mystified just then. Not later,
however, on Christmas morning, when
Levi burst into the room excitedly
with the incredible announcement:
"Oh, father, father. the goose has
laid golden egg!"
And there In his hand was the evil
dence-a gilded papier-mache egg, and
inside of it was found two $1,000 bills,

VIENNA GAY IN FACE OF MISERY
THREE

Vienna is ENJOYING a
resumption OF it's gay night life In
striking contrast to last winter, but
there is, nevertheless, abject poverty
and great misery.
The streets at night are filled with
motor cars, splendid carriages and
people elegantly dressed.
Brilliant theatrical and musical
productions marked the opening OF
the season, and the public appeared
to be willing to pay any number of
crowns to enjoy the opera and to
have an opportunity of seeing the
Italian master Puccini, who attended
one performance.
There is always large attendance
at the smoking theaters" and cab
arets @ @sef
This new wave of pleasure which
is sweeping over the city has eco
nomic significance. Many thousands
of people are obtaining living by
entertaining foreigners who have
plenty of money, and this is the chief
reason why everything is done to at
tract them.
But underneath it all there is
tragedy. Most of the artists in the
theaters and concert halls are UNDER
paid, and for the bulk of those form
ing the middle classes there is no
possible participation in the gayeties
which they see on every side.
Recently Max Margulies, famous
meteorological a.ed of hunger and
want because lie was too proud to APP
peal to the International relief COM
mittee for help and there are many
others who are in similar plight.

whose duty it was to see that the 18th
Commandment was strictly adhered

letter. 1t was seen from the start that
Wood was not in his usual good
form, and he was dericked in the 3rd,
and Dock VanLear took up the pitch
ing, after which the scoring was
stopped for the Leans. There is one
thing to be regretted by these cXhi-
bition games, and that is that we are
afraid that Dock VanLear's great all
round playing will attract the atten-
ton of some of our big league scouts
and we will lose one Of Leadwood's
best ball players, as well as one of our
stalwart Democrats.
