greeted President-elect and Mrs. War
rem G. Harding today. The steamer
Pastores, on which they were return
ing to Norfolk from Colon, was off the
Carolinas this morning, and in spite Of
a heavy wind from the north she was
making good Roadway. The steamer,
however, is behind her schedule and it
is uncertain at what hour she will dock
at Norfolk. Captain Glenn predicted
today she would be in by noon. Mr..
Harding and his party appeared today
clad in warmer garments, having dis
carded the white suits they wore
while in the tropics.
AS Mr.. Harding neared the United
States today there was renewed dis
cussion among his companions regard
ing the possibility that he might
choose some other place than his home
in Marion, O., for his conferences on
the league of nations and other sub
jects which must be thrashed out be-
fore he assumes office. He has been
urged by some friends to spend the
winter in some southern state, where
there are better hotel and railway IA
cilities, which are assuming some i'm
portance in view of the number of call
ers expected to wait on the president
elect. Hot Springs, Va, White Sui
phur Springs and various Florida re-
sorts have been suggested but it was
said today that no decision had been
reached Both Senator and Mrs.
Harding are understood to favor re-
naming in Marion during the COM
ing winter if practicable

THE coMMok BROOM.

Dear Corner Writers: One of the housekeeper's handy helpers and one she would be quite at B loss without on oc- casions too numerous to mention, is the reliable common broom
 D.. Truly, it is woman's weapon. as it is called. It's price has soareo like the rest of merchandise, reminding one of the fable where the witch is seen sailing aloft sweeping the eobwebs from the sky.
 If scalded once a week and not left to rest upon the floor it's shape would be retained. Cultivating broom corn is a success in the western states but has not proven so in the east. At a certain period the tops were bent down to keep them straight but now this extra work is done away with. s a, l.
 Once upon "a time hubby planted a patch, but the tops were rather short i; it was stored away against the time of need. q
 Since war prices I have made whisk broo1as of various shapes. Then decided to replace the worn away part of an old broom. With alarming needle and twine l sewer the cut lengths together enough to fold around the stub and stitched through and fastened as best could The result is not very artistic but quite useful and there is more in storage. Perhaps its use comes under the law of inheritance. E..
 When my sister, aged years, and brother were visiting at the homestead one of the gentle COWS came to the door and sister felt it her duty to run into the house and get the broom and beiabei the COW between the horns, while the brother jumped about screaming Cow eat you up.'' Grandmother heard the eornmotion and came to the rescue. Aunt Mary gave a practical demon stration of it's qualities when she bat tied and subdued the fire at the rear of her home. %, .-s All may not know the story of the bachelor who gave broom to bride with a note, admiring her; in pleasant weather use the brushy part, in storms the other end The broom holds it's ranA with the patent modern dust raisers and is less in price.

Social Corner Sisters: If you are ner- your, which is one Of the worst kind of sickness and one where you get the leasf sympathy, drink plenty of cold water and keen out in the fresh air. Take a cold sponge bath in the morning and warm tub hath at night. That will help you to sleep and above all things, don't wory That invites disease ana weakens resisting power. If you are blue and think you have more trouble than the other fellow 20 and see some one that has got more trouble than you ever had and, you viii find plenty of them. And some will have a snisIing lace. There is never any trouble % bad that II might not have been worse. Keep your mind right and every thing will be all right AS a man thinks. so he is. Do not look for trouble It comes fast enough. Save your strength to coru5at it when it comes and smile all you can. Don't say you can't, for I know if you try and keep on trying and trust in God you can. We have to take things as we lind them and they are n6t So bad if we take them in the right spirit. We should count our blessings very often and our blessings are not al ways bestowed on us ready niadA. Often some raw material is put into our hands from which We can manufacture bless ings if we choose.

 And whatever happens keep sweet

 After leaving Deeffeld our route led through the town of Greenfield where on account of a severe thunder storm we took no observation but lunched in the auto, Then we rode westward along the Deerfield river to Shelburne Falls. sur rounded by high hill. As we descended one of these hills the falls for which the town is named lay before us show ing a large volume of water dashing over immense rocks and cutting it's way through a deep gorge into the valley be- low. We still followed the course of the Deerfield river until we reached Charle- mont where the most beautiful part of the trail begins. An unusual sight was the clouds low down on the mountains which looked like great bank of fog. From this point until We reached North Adams, sixteen miles away, no towns came into view, but the scenery consist ed of high forested hills, deep valleys and rushing mountain streams. From the summit of Mt. Whitcomb, the high est point of the Mohawk Trail a glance back revealed a scene of surpassing beauty spread out before us. As we mo- tieed the grandeur of the scene the verse of the ancient writer came to mind, T will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, whence cometh my help" Now began the, descent down the mountains. We passed along Hairpin Curve and looked down into the town of North Adams where the buildings looked like doll houses, and the cattle grazing in the valley could hardly be seen.
 North Adams is noted as being the home of the Walkover shoes, and sev- eral large factories were to be noticed As it was now cloudy evening and darkness was settling down upon us nothing of special interest could be seen But beyond Petersburg where teamsters had been hauling logs, the road was al most impossible.
