UNCLE TED CONTINUES HIS
STORY OF SEN HARDING

please tell us some more about
Senator Harding,' pleaded Ruth as
her uncle was trying to take a few
mintes to read the evening paper.
"Any uncle of yours has fine
chance to get a minutes rest!'' an
swered Uncle Ted 81 did promise
to go on with the story of the life
and work of OUR NEXT PRESI-
DENT and | guess tonight is a good
time.'
"When you stopped last week, -
about Senator Harding g newspaper. "
" The story of that newspaper is
too long for tonight, Jack. am go
ing to tell you something of Mr..
Harding as a business man, his trav
els, and the beginning of his political
career. Since he became the publisher
of ''The STAR, Marion, Ohio, has
grown from "A small country town to
IA real city of about thirty thousand
inhabitants. Senator Harding has
been responsible to Il large extent for
the growth of industry in this flour
| ishing manufacturing city. Whenever
"A new industry has located there ne
| has been one of the first men to
boost it and to purchase as much
| For two years or more he was on the
| board of directors of the Chamber of
| Commerce and because of his business
ability he has been asked to serve on
the board of directors of most of the
business concerns that have made
| Marion their home. At the present
time he is director of bank,
| director of several of the largest man
ufacturing concerns and a trustee of
the Trinity Baptist church. Being Il
member of this church he always at
tends its services whenever he is IN
the city.
! Any man, kiddies, who expects 10
| be president of the United States
must know as much as possible about
the other countries of the world. Sem
ator Harding is well fitted in this re
spcct, having made three trips to Eur
| ope in the past ten years. not for
| pleasure, but to study the different
kinds of government and their prob
lens. But one thing is certain, he
always returned with a greater love
for his own country and the firm he
lief that our form of government j.
the best ever devised in the history
of the world. At "a time when we are
| paving more than twice as much for
sugar than is necessary because of the
stupid way in which the sugar stu
alton has been handled by Mr. Will
it should he interesting to your moth
rr that the subject of sugar IS nothing
new to Mr.. Harding. Before Mr..
Hard ny took his seat in the United
States senate, he made a trip to the
Hawaiian Islands to study at first
hand the production and distribution
of sugar. If he had been president
last year when it was possible for the
United States TO buy the Cuban crop
at II little over six cents a pound it
is certain ne would have seen to it
that the crop was purchased.
"Snce Mr.. Harding started at the
bottom of the ladder of life with lit,
tie or nothing TO assist him, he can
readily understand and appreciate the
troubles and problems which the la
| boring man must face. When he be
! comes president he viii, as he has in
the past, always give careful thought
and attention to the problems and
| claims of men in every station of life
/ The people of almost every state in
the country have heard Mr.. Harding
speak. And he has not limited him
self to a speaking tour of certa n
classes of people. He has addressed,
for instance, "A wool growers aseocia-
tion, n convention of steel and ron
men, n farmers institute, an associa
ton of miners, railroad employees
and groups of Iaborers from other
branches of industry. In this way he
has made himself familiar with the
