at all times. With such view of the
situation we should have one of the
best Presidents the coutry has ever
known And if any of the enemies of
Republicans think they can continue
to talk of the Senate oligarchy', of
which Governor Cox talked so much
during the campaign, they are going to
be disappointed. because Senator Hard
ing will not let the next admipistra-
ton be controlled by the Senate. He
wants the Senate to help him as he will
help the Senate. but he does not want
the Senate to control the White
House any more than he will try to
control the Senate"
Did Senator Harding talk with
President Wilson while he was in
Washngtoni' asked Ruth.
mo, Ruth, he did not, but it was
not our next Presidents fault. Just
before he reached Washington the
newspaper men were told by the
White House that the President would
be glad to see the next President. Ma
turally Senator Harding saw this in the
papers but he did not receive direct
invitation from the President. He
didn't ignore the matter, but went
more than half way and left his card
at the White House on his way to the
station to take the train for home. A
conference between the two men
would have been interesting but We
could hardly expect the President to
invite Mr.. Harding to see him when he
didn't even send him the slightest
message of congratulations when he
was elected by the largest vote ever
cast for President"

H.C.L. SLIPS
TO PRE-WAR
STANDPOINT
Eastern AdUices Point
To Drop In Staples
and Foodstuffs.

New York--Reports are coming to
hand daily of reductions in the price
of food-stuffs, clothing and other ne
cessities of life. Sugar has dropped
Is cents, flour is again selling below
$40 barrel, rubber is at low record
figures, wool has dropped perpendicu-
larly, and the cost of nearly all other
staple articles is fast getting back to
a normal pre-war basis.
For instance, the countrys corn bill
this year, or for the crop just harvest
ed, promises to be 100000 less than
it was indicated it would be a few
months ago. The indicated corn crop
is 100000 bushels, and the price of
corn has fallen from So bushel to
around 81 cents.
The saving to the public in cost of
wheat and flour should be not less
than 1868, 100000 The indicated crop
is 751 100000 bushels. Since July 10,
wheat has dropped in price from $2.74
bushel to $1.52.
There is no sound reason for be-
lieving that this saving of upward of
S1,000,000 should not extend to flour
bread and other wheat products. 1t
is now promised that the country's
cotton bill will be $1,725, 100000 less
than was indicated few months ago.

Does any one know of child OF

DO you know of sick person who

Write the Good Fellow Club Editor
care the Herald. He will see that the
matter receives attention.
Good Fellows be ready to give your
self a great big Christmas present by
helping someone less fortunate than
you are. The Herald may call on you.
We hope there no cases needing at
tention but we feel sure that the Good
Fellows need only to have the matter
called to their attention to respond
instantly.
Good Fellows abound everywhere
although some of them may drink oc-
casionally, play little poker, cuss
once i'll while ard so on. But they
can't fool any one. We all know their
hearts are as big as a washtub de-
spite their bad habits. Others are
impeccably virtuous and their hearts
are right to.
The good Fellow editor will not call
on any tight-wads. When you re-
ceive little note indicating some
thing you will know you are spotted
because you are RIGHT. On the
other hand the Herald can't call on
everybody so if you are willing just
signify by letting us know.
This is a Christmas charity and in
the spirit of true charity the right
hand will not know what the left
hand doeth. Someone's Christmas
will be made bright.

WARNING OUT

FIRE HAZARD
Danger From Chimney

Fires L,npend.

An alarming number of reports of
chimney and roof fires are coming in,
Because OF scarcity Of hard coal,
soft coal is being used in stoves and
furnaces intended for wood or hard
coal. The smoke pipes and CHM
neys become clogged in a short time.
Then dangerous experiments are tri-
ed to remove the SCOT. Waste paper
and excelsior are burned and drafts
opened sending flames through the
pipes and chimney The more fool
hardy result to powder, gasoline or
kerosene.
This practice is more than likely to
set the single roof on fire. The flames
overhead the pipes and chimney and
find any defect in either. Thus wood
work near the pipes or in contact with
the chimneys becomes ignited.
Soft coal gases and fumes disinte-
CRATE the mortar between the brick
creating openings for dangerous
spark.
Often these defects are in dangerous
places as in attics or between cell
ings and floors and a bad fire may de-
velope unnoticed.
