A Ludicrous Outfit.
The Hardings moved from Caledonia
to farm, where the father continued
to practice medicine while the son TILED
the soil. Now, I'm not going to give
any farmer the impression that Warren
G. was a success at this sort of thing.
He was not, with the accent on the
not. Notwithstanding l saw less of him
during this period than in later years.
anyone could see that while he had ac-
CURED sympathy for farmers he had
acquired no love for farming.
have seen him drive to town in a
wagon drawn by one horse and one
mule. 1t was a ludicrous outfit, Horse
and mule make an unnatural combina-
ton. There is not enough democracy
in horse to enable it to adapt itself
to the society of mule, and to be
for the mule, 1t can have no ancestral
pride or hope of the future, and Is be-
yond mans comprehension. The Hard
ing mule was q fair average among
his kind. He was the color of a gray
day, with a disposition to match. From
the window of the little Argus print
ing office I have seen Warren G. drive
his team of incongruous animals into
town and out again, he standing on q
load of compost for the farm. Up to
this time Warren G. Harding had paint
ed barns and houses, made brooms,
set type in the village printing office,
MIXED cows and curried horses, farmed
and learned to play cornet. (Of the
cornet, more to Gomez Later he was
to work with railroad construction
gang, sell insurance, do reportorial work,
publish and edit newspaper
Was Harding Head Or Foot?
From the farm Warren G. went to
the Central Ohio college at Iberia. only
few miles distant. Here he ran true
to form as student and an Animal
ing influence. This little college fell
into state of "innocuous desuetude"
Tiny respects to the memory of Grover
Cleveland), and finally collapsed. 1t
is not for me to say that fate decided
that the little institutions work was
completed when it mad succeeded in
graduating Warren G. | do not re-
member whether he stood first or sec
ond in his class, but | do recollect that
there were only two graduates
Young Harding was picked out for
lawyer, but the picking was done by
his father, which makes all the differ
ence in the world, Some sort of start
was made toward acceding to the faith
er's wishes. An old law library was
purchased, but the man with whom
the studying was to be done seems to
have been anything but fortunate Sc
lection. There was an effort made to
sell insurance, but the work was un-
profitable and didn't last long. This
was in Marion to which place the fami-
~ moved before the elder son finished
his work at Central Ohio college
But before going any farther with
these Marion experiences ] shall take
Warren G. back to Caledonia and let
the reader hear him play in the band
Copyright. 1920. by New York Evening
Post, lncD
Tomorrow Jack Warwick introduces
Harding as cornet player in a small
town band
