JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST

THE RULE OF THE ROAD.
The rule of the road is keep to the
right. don't drive at a reckless
rate,
You may so as you please when the
course is GEAR and the stretch
il smooth and straight.
But watch your pace where the
roadway bends and travel the
curves with care.
And be ready 10 meet the test
should danger stop you there.
There are laws TO govern the speed
of men and the manner they
shall go.
And what's right and wrong as we
drive along. We are all supposed
20 know;
But beyond the law and the statute
books and the power Of the
courts to touch.
Are mum berless rules which we
might observe which would help
SO very much.
The law will not stifle our selfish
ness-we must do that for our
selves,
And there is no word in all Of the
books on all of the musty
shelves
Which says that we must be kindly
folks or courteous or polite;
We can drive as road hogs if we
choose and legally be right.
The rule OF the road is keep 10 the
right. but the rule Of a gentle
man
Is 10 give 10 the neighbor who
would pass as much of the road
as he can;
And there'd be less need for the
laws in books and a happier
world 'twould be
If we'd air obey on the roads of life
the rules Of courtesy.

HARDING, WILL HAYS
AND BRYAN INVITED
FOR ADDRESS FRIDAY

MARION, O., Dec 11.-President-
elect Warren G. Harding. Will H. Hays
of the Republican national committee.
and William ]. Bryan probably will
speak from the same platform here
next Friday evening All three have
been invited to address the laymen's
conference of the Marion presbytery
here that evening. Mr.. Bryan has ac-
cepted. 1t is said that Senator Hard
ing also will accept. No reply has
been received as yet from Mr.. Hays,
who is an elder in the Presbyterian
church. The Marion presbytery COM
prises 16 central Ohio counties.
Suggestions for a new American
foreign policy, including the formation
of an association of nations, were
heard by President-elect Harding to-
day from Colonel George Harvey. who
was one of his close advisers in formu-
lating his campaign policies toward
the Versailles league.
May Stay for Week
Colonel Harvey came to Marion yes
terday at the very beginning of Mr..
Harding's conferences here on the as
sociation plan and in addition to hold
ing long conversations on the subject
with the president-elect today it was
said he might remain until next week
to give his advice as the administra-
ton program develops.
Mr. Harding has indicated that even
the ground work for the association
of nations Is yet to be laid, and that
he begins his promised meeting OF
minds here without a definite plan
even on rudimentary forms for an in
ternational council. In asking advice
he will seek a program behind which
there is some assurance of a united
country, rather than an attempt to put
toward any speciation of his own.
Will Consult Notables
In that connection it is recalled that
when he first proposed an association
of nations in his speech of August %
he suggested that it be builded upon
the framework of The Hague tribunal
or upon the practicable features OF
the Versailles league or by combining
"all that is good in BOTH
Since that time he has given no in
diation that he is prepared to be more
definite in his recommendations, and
it is expected that during the coming
months he will ask his conferees in
particular which Of these instrumen
talities they consider most availa BILE.
Bound up in this is the question OF
whether the United States should en-
ter the Versailles league on any terms
and before Mr.. Harding makes his de
cision he will talk with those who
favor going in without reservations as
well as those who favor staying out
entirely. Colonel Harvey belongs to
the latter class, while Herbert Hoover
who will be here tomorrow, was a
leader of the pro-league group
President-elect Harding has invited
w. J. Bryan, former secretary of state
in President Wilson's cabinet to con
fer with him here on Dec. II in regard
to the plan for an association OF
nations.

INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN
TO SEEK CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE MEMBERS

Of for a goal of 500 men and 300
women, with MAKE Richmond the
Best Place in the World to Live ln."
os the slogan, the membership commit
tee of the Richmond Chamber of Com
merce began an intensive membership
campaign Saturday.
Systematically and thoroughly the
work of reaching every man and wo-
man in the city with it's message of
civic Improvement, and its appeal for
support, is being done under the direc-
tion of John j. Harrington, Jr, chair
man of the membership committee.
After much consideration the commit
tee decided to carry out its work
through mail. and by local advertising.
This method will save the organi-
Zation the cost of bringing an organiz-
ing company to Richmond" said an
official Saturday. "It means a saving
of several thousand dollars in this
respect, and it means the saving of
time and money to our local citizens
who would have to be personally ap-
preached personally by men who are
busy. Everyone is busy this season of
the year, and we do not propose to
encroach upon their time. We believe
the people of Richmond are interested
enough in the Chamber of Commerce
to make it unnecessary for a strenu-
Gus personal canvass"
Fees $25 Per Year
Membership fees are $25 a year for
men and $40 per year for women.
While the membership committee
would prefer receiving the annual dues
I in advance, it was announced that
quarterly or semi-annual payments
would be acceptable.
At $25 a year, it was pointed out, ii
entails only weekly cost of approx
mately 48 cents for each man, and
much less per week for each woman
