HARDING WENT
FISHING TO-DAY
President-Elect and Party
Get Set for a Good
Time .......
tBy Associated Pressl

POINT ISABEL. Texas, Nov. g..
--Outwardly as care free as the
happiest member of the little COM
munity of fishermen who are his
neighbors here, President Elect
Harding began today a vacation
which he hopes will make up for
his loss of rest and recreation dur
ing the campaign.
For his first days outing he
planned for the forenoon test of
sk:Jl with the rod and reel and for
the afternoon a golf game at the
Brownsville CouLtry club, 20 miles
away.
The appearance of the President
Elect as he began HIS vacation was
anything but tnat of a worn out
man. He looked robust and Wig
orous and told the villagers he had
come more BECAUSE he liked the
seclusion and the outdoor life than
because he needed rest. -.-
For his cruises along the coast
Mr.. Harding used a launch placed
at his disposal by Governor Hobby
of Texas. He planned to take $50
eral extended pleasure trips in the
craft and may also take an auto
mobile trip this week up the Rio
Grande valley. November is has
been selected as the date of his
departure from New Orleans for
Panama, but it is understood this
date may be advanced to give Mr..
Harding a longer stay in the Canal
Zone.

Balsam, n. c., April 2O.-From
summer temperature and vivid YER
dure to snow and ice and bare trees
which showed no vestige of life, all
within some thirty hours, was our ex-
perlence few days ago, when BUSH
ness called us from Lakeland to this
mountain land. The morning after
we landed here there was a consid-
cradle furry of snow and there was
ice in the pitcher on our room
Ha rdly tree or shrub at that late
date (April 12th) was showing
any signs of life, for up here on the
roof OF the world spring is always
more tardy than in the lower lands
only few peach trees showed their
pink blossoms, which doubtless were
rendered fruitless by the temperature
OF ~ or whereabouts. This has been
a late spring, and up to this writing
very little farm or garden work has
been done, what with low tempera
lures and untimely rains.
Now, however, the world-old mir
acle OF resurrection is in progress
and a wonderful Transformation is
taking place with astonishing rapid
ity. We, in Florida, miss this great
and beautiful operation of Nature. for
there she works amid vernal settings
always, and the seasons merge on !,
into the other imperceptibly. But
here, one day, the trees stand stark
and bare and the meadows lie brown:
the next there is faint tinge OF
pink or red, or creamy green, whera
the trees have been stirred to life by
mysterious impulses that baffis finite
understanding. Then, almost as one
gazes, carpet of velvet green spreads
over the fields, and the hillsides are
vivid with tiny leaves, fast unfolding
and ever growing Strange little
flowers, which only botanist can
classify, spring up overnight in full

Those in attendance at yesterday
meeting, learned with regret of the
resignation of our President, Mrs.
Anderson. She only accepted the DO
sltlon a year ago until some one else
could be selected. AS she was again
elected county president we felt this
Office should fall upon some one else.
However, we have some splendid
women in this organization which we
trust some one will be able to fill the
vacancy.
Because of insufficient funds to
carry the Travellers Aid work on
for another month it will be discon-
tinued. The work has been very graf
flying and we hope to see it taken up
again this fall
