DECLINES OFFER
 MADE BY WILSON

MARION, Ohio. Nov. 5.-President- elect Harding already has begun full fillment of his campaign promise to consult the nations leading minds with regard to a new association of nations and he hopes that by the time of his inauguration next March he will have laid the ground work of the plan behind which the senti- ment of the nation can unite.
 A list of those to be consulted first has been drawn up and invitations are going forward tc several to come months vacation trip which is to be started by the presidet elect tomor- row morning. Both Republicans and Democrats are to present their views in individual and personal talks with MT. Harding during the winter mcnths but he does not contemplate, flor the present at least, any general assemblage of his advisers for round table discussion.
 Names Not Made Public
 The names of those already inyit- ed have not been made public but it was announced from the president elects office tonight that men and women who have been eminent in the discussion of our foreign rela- tions" made up the list. Additions will be made during MT. Harding's vacation trip, it was announced, al- though no consideration will be giv- en by him during that period to the choice of a cabinet
 The announcement followed a league conference between Senator Harding and Will H. Hays. Neither revealed what subjects they had dis cussed, but it was understood the na- tional chairman's visit here was made at Mir Harding's request and had to dc both with the campaign just closed and with the policies to be shaped for the coming adminis- tration.
 Harding Declines Offer
 The objective of the senator's va cation trip is Point Isabel, Texas, and although he plans to occupy most of his time there hunting and fishing, another of his close cam paign advisers, Harry M. Daugherty, will accompany him. It is taken for granted there will be some discus sion of policies and administrative programs between them.
 Today MT. Harding declined an of fer of President Wilson to provide him with battleship for the voyage to the Panama canal zone which is to follow a 12 days stay at Point Isabel In response to a telegram from Secretary Daniels conveying the presidents proposal, the presi- dent-elect wired that he was thank ful but already had closed an agree ment to make the trip on a passen- ger steamer.

BLACK CANYON OIL CON-
PANY MAY STRIKE 1T RICH

From Bridgeport, Texas. comes the
news OF active drilling operations.
The Delta company has large acreage
near Bridgeport and should anyone
OF the three companies now drilling
strike oil II would prove the holdings
OF the Delta company. The Index at
Bridgeport has the following to say
OF the renewed activity there:
"The Lubbock-Bridgeport contrac-
tors. after few weeks Of prelimin.
ary work. are now ready to make
new tracks" and have resumed drill
ling at a depth OF $500 feet They
expect to sink the hole 500 feet deep

depth.
"The Carey people are making ex-
tensive preparations for bringing In
their we'll and operations there indi-
cato that they are sure OF striking II
rich.
.'The wise-Comanche-Burk is drill
ling again with flattering indications
for bringing in n gusher. II is now ap-
parent that the oil development In THIS

yigor and enthusiasm than ever be-
fore. The drillers are confident that
tho oil is here and they are not AFRAID

MARK S. WHITNEY is
CLAIMED BY DEATH

The death of Mark S. Whitney,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Whit
ney of Paonia, was announced late
Friday afternoon, and the unexpected
news was received with genuine sor-
row.
The young man was i'll but eight
days, and his death was due to ulcers
of the stomach.
Mark Stannard Whitney was born
at Keosauqua, Iowa, on December 13,
1896.
He came to Paonia with his parents
in September 1904.
In 1918 he enlisted in the army and
entered the service at the University
of Nebraska, on August %. Later he
was promoted and transferred with
other members of his company, to
Purdue University at Lafayette, In
diana. From here he was honorably
discharged on December 10, 1913
After visiting his relatives at Keo-
sauqua, Iowa, he went to Ames, where
he remained until his return to Pao-
MIA in June 1919.
Because of his beautiful devotion to
his parents and his home he remained
with them until the hour of his aff1ic-
tion, which resulted in his death on
Friday. December 10.
Had he lived until the day of his
funeral he would have been "a years
of age. A peculiar coincidence in
connection with the death of this
splendid young man is this: He was
born December 13, 1896: discharged
December 13, 1918; buried December
10. 1920.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Webb of the Paonia Methodist
church from the family home on Bone
Mesa. Monday, and interment was in
the Paonia cemetery.

RED CROSS SEAL SALE
WILL BRING COUNTY NURSE

The Xmas Seal Sale is still on.
Much enthusiasm is being shown
throughout the county. This is a
worthy cause and every patriotic citi-
zen should do his part. The aim, you
know. is to sell at least $1,000 worth
OF these seals SO that We can have a
good county nurse for at least six
months beginning January 1st.

losis is by proper education at home
and at school. We cannot get this
sort Of education save through nurses
and doctors. So let us all get busy
and buy enough seals to have the
nurse. She will have a definitely out
lined program that will carry her into
home and school. In the school she
will make physical examinations of
your child and mine-in the home
she will show US how to feed and
clothe our child and may be the cause
of saving your child or my child from
the dreaded disease.
Get in the game, do your duty. buy
