JUST A FEW DAYS OF
REAL WEATHER

Just to remind US that there is near
at hand something better in the
weather line than the winter months
served out to Delaware, the three
first days Of the present week have
been filled with sunshine and warm
winds, and the ice banks have began
to soften and disappear from the
north side of the streets and woods
roads. Just a little patience. and in
two weeks the early blooming flow
ers will be putting forth their blooms.
The yellow jasmine and little crocus
howers were in bloom at this time
last year. The worst part to con-
template is the awful muddy roads
which must follow warm weather.
before the roads are right to travel
over with pleasure.

ALEXANDER CITY

Alexander City. October 19.-( -(Special.)-
 The Alexander City chapter of the Amer
 ican Red Cross today began the examina- tion of 1000 school children. looking into their physical condition, and especially laying stress in these examinations on
 the eye, ear. nose and throat. This local division has succeeded in having furnished for this work from the gulf division at New Orleans the excellent services of Miss Vivian Pace, director of bureau in- formation, gulf division, American Red Cross.
 1 In a mass meeting of Red Cross mem bers and citizens recently held the work of the chapter, which is called child care" was thoroughly discussed, and il was unanimously decided to prosecute
 this phase of the peace programme as l the very first step necessary to build ur | a strong virie race of children which
 are to become the men and women of the l future. About twenty children are being examined each day from the schools by
 the medical staff and Miss Pace assisted ! by Mrs. Alice Carlisle the local secre
 tary of the chapter.

that the interest rates were from to l5 per cent
 In the meantime, the poIitican is closely watching the agittaion of the farmers. It is known to be true that the republicans have spread propaganda that the administration is withholding aid from the agriculturist, not because t has to, but because it is not interested in his plight. In the middle west 1t is said to be true that the farmer is turn ing from the Co&-Roosevelt banner to the Harding-Coolidge ticket.
 The President is not to be moved by political expedient, it is made known to- day. And even were he amenable to political suggestion, it is pointed out that aid to the farmer would be as a two edged sword. The republicans are ob- viously anxious that they be able to say that the democratic administration has surrended to the cotton farmers of the south.
 The farmers. through their spokesmen. informed the President that they require aid for the orderly marketing, not the withholding, of their products from the market. He added that unless aid is ex- tended, the farmer will be compelled to glut an already. desperate market

HARDING TAKES ON
 VERY POMPOUS AIR

Washington, October 19.-(Special )-As ' mere Senator Warren G. Harding, de- spite a coldness and a dignity was not difficult of approach But since he is ' candidate for the presidency. he has fed on meat which has made him ex- ceedingly proud, or certainly most pos itively aware of the importance of his personality and his position.
 In consequence, residents of Washing ton who in scores of years have seen Presidents come and go, are wondering whether Harding. as chief executive, would. by virtue of his concept of proper presidential dignity, so surround his per- son and presence with pomp and pride of office as to outdo any previous ef- forts of history in the same general di- -ection. If Governor Cox is elected. no one doubts but that the administration will be democratic, entirely American. and positively human.
 Cox. running for office, conducts him. self as one who realizes that he is of he people whom he would serve: Hard ing as ono convinced that he is about to do the people favor by suffering them to do him honor.

Harding. however not desiring to speak in per son, permitted Senator New of Indiana, to explain that such a procedure as that proposed would be entirely beneath the dignity of one who aspires to the hieh office of President.
 On two distinct occasions. Harding has revealed his inward conviction of his | own importance When in Baltimore. Oc- tober l. certain hecklers attempted to break into his chain of thought. he ex- claimed with petnlance. "Of course, the great state of Maryland ~to''ld be last to affront visitor, especial'~ when that v'si+c~ was . nrohahle p~esident of the Tinted States" And n'lite recently in r>e,7t,roky when certain coleee boys wi+i, the natural exnberance of normal collene boys so grievously shocked the Harding ears as ndulge in wells for Cox. the republican candidate sharply rebuked them SaAng: "Eentuckv gentlemen should show enthusiasm in their leader. hut they do not conduct themselves dis ccurf eously in the presence of any pres dnrtial candidate"

Washington, October s.-(SpecfaJ)-- While it is regarded as certain that the President will declare himself unable to act in accordance with the request of George P. Hampton, managing director of the FarmersH National Council. that the secretary of the treasury be instruct ed to deposit in national banks certifi- cates of indebtedness to be lent farmers at reasonable interest, it is announced at the White House that the President gives earnest attention to the suggestion.
 Mir. Hampton, in his address to the President, took sharp issue with W. r.. c. Harding, governor of the federal re- serve board, who had previously declared that the farmer was being adequately financed. MT. Hampton represented that his 1000 organizations report that with the exception of three eastern and two southern states. money for short term loans was difficult to obtain and

Washington, October 19.-(Speciall- Representative Henry B. Stegall of the Third Alabama district, speaking to democrats of this city tonight, expressed the hope that the senatorial oligarchy would fail in it's plan to curtail the speaking programme of Senator Harding.
 "On every stump he has made breaks, said Mir. Stegall. 'fIe even went so far as to attempt to deceive by involving the good name of France in near-scandal. If we could keep him on the stump from this hour to election, we would beat him million votes"

Meridian. Miss. October 19.-(Special.)-- Judge c. c. Miller was the victim of a painful and serious accident late yester- day when he ripped and fell down flight of steps at his residence here and disio- cated and fractured his knee cap.
