 Speaking of the coming following the ad- journment of the Chicago convention, the Cincinnati Enquirer, which has been favorable Hard ing at all times, declared
 "The task assigned to Senator Harding is not an easy one To pilot his campaign from the chame- eontinted platform erected for him to stand upon would test the skill of the most adroit politician as it certainly will rack the conscience of one pos St ssing the inherent personal honesty of the non- inee"
 By avoiding active campaigning the candidate e may be able to remain hon-committal.

Fine Sheer Material used ExtensIveIy
on Account Of High Cost
Of slIks.

II is well to observe that fine sheer
cotton materials are being much used
at present for undergarments. The
leaning to these is due largely to the
fact that silks are 30 expensive and
then 90 very many silks are OF poor
quality. Crepe de chine Is one fabric
that should be bought with the great
est care because the cheaper qualities
are weighted or filled with a fine pow
der that comes out ct the first leun-

fabric that is not good looking and

Ketehikan, Alaska, Ketchikan is one
place where there is no need to worry
about the high cost of living.
He says: you could come to Ketchi-

the country near by, catch fish as
quickly as you could cast your line
in the ripping streams, shoot deer
and other game enough to last you for
months, make your own maple sugar,
render your own lard, trade some
extra fish for bread or -four, trade a
little meat for furniture or make 1t
yourself, and be comfortably happy"
