Marion Women
Most Enthusiastic
Over Mrs. Hardine 9

Marion, O., July 13.-Many wo-
men of Marion, girlhood acquaintan-
ces, friends or chums of Mrs. Warrer
! G. Harding, wife of the republican
nominee for the presidency, are en-
| thusiastic over the possibility that
she may preside at the White House.
They say she is we'll fitted for the
duties of presidents wife because
''she has mind of her own, gem
orally manages to get what she wants
is thoroughly democratic. likes to give
and go to parties, is interested in a
hundred and one things, knows how
TO talk to every one including men
and once she knows you, always
knows you"
Some Marion residents say that
Mrs Harding has contributed in i'm
portant ways to Mr.. Harding's sue
cess in life.
Mrs. Harding was born here, Au-
gust Is, 1860 and was reared in this
city where she attended grammar
and high schools. Afterward she
studied music at the Cincinnati Con-
servatory Of Music.
AS Florence King, daughter of
Amos King, banker and one of the
most wealthy men in Marion, she is
described by girlhood friend, Mrs.
Margaret Younkins, as lone of the
best horse women T have ever seen.
'She rode and drove more like al
man than a girl" said Mrs. Younkins,
who said she was more accustomedl
in those days to seeing Florence
King dashing swiftly up the street
On Billy, her saddle horse, than walk
ing with the other girls of her social
circle. Other girlhood friends of
Mrs Harding told of the times when
they used to "pile into Florence's
phaeton and ride with perfect conf
dence behind her speedy Billy" She
was married in 1891.

TO MAKE SEED SURVEY

AS there is strong indication that
there will be shortage of field seeds
over the state at planting time, Field
Agronomist B. F. Sheehan has start
ed survey to locates the available
supply.
All county agents are securing
data from the farmers as to the seed
they will have for sale. A list of this
seed will be published the latter part
of the month showing the kind of
seed, the variety, price, amount for
sale, and the address of the owner.
Persons desiring seed for planting
should list their needs with their
county agent. AS soon as the supply
list is available he can assist in Sc
curing the seed desired.

HORSE INTERESTS ACTIVE
National Body to Assist Horse Breed
ing Industry.

Prominent hOrsemen, leaders in the
saddlery industry, hay, grain ant
feed trade, horseshoe manufacturers
and master horseshoers, wagon anG
carriage builders have held a number
of meetings in Chicago during the past
three months, out of which has grown
ia national organization planned for
the purpose of aiding and encourag-
ing the breeding, rearing and use of
horses. The organization name
chosen is, "Horse Association of Am
erica" Any man in America interest
ed in the development of the horse in
dustry may become a member at a
charge of S. per share.
Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the
Percheron Society of America, writes
the Agricultural College of the Uni
versity as follows:
Enclosed find outline of a national
movement in behalf of the horse by
horsemen and all allied interests.
Our plans will require the active ag-
gressive cooperation of the animal
husbandry men and horsemen all over
the United States. We expect to sell
$4,000 shares this year. OF this, the
commercial interests will take 10000
shares, leaving but 10000 shares to be
am sure our horse raisers, whether
farmers or breeders, are willing to
put up 81 for every 81 put up by COM
mercial interests. This means that |
Idahos quota will be 200 shares or
about five per county"
Mr.. Dinsmore's letter indicates that
the organization will use it's influ-
ence and use the money paid for mem
bership in educational work in behalf |
Of the horse.
The horse has undoubtedly been ne
elected during the past three or four
years and the farmers of America can
i'll afford to bear the inevitable results
Of such neglect There appears to be
no longer the right kind of pride in
and appreciation of good horses.
Comparatively few mares have been
bred recently; many unfit stations
ire standing for public service; in
some sections there is lack of proper
to feeding, breaking, groom
ng, shoeing and other features of
good horse management The horse
loes not belong to the past in spite of
Wild predictions to tina fleet by those
Who do not understand the efficient
ervice rendered by the horse in both .
lty and country. Interest in the
orse, however, has suffered a tenn
orary relapse. The horse will and
aust come back strongly into public
avor. We need him and in fact can :
OF get along without him.

INTEREST IN STATE
TOURNEY RUNNING BIG
-Downstate Quintets Allowed
Fixed Sum

The greatest interest of every higl
school in the southern part of thu
state is to win the privilege of send
ing it's team to the annual basketball
tournament, to be held at the Uni
versity March 18 and 10, according tt
reports brought back by representa-
tives of the University who have late
ly been visiting the schools in that
section.
On the date set for the big meet
there will be eight teams from the
various parts of the state visiting
the campus to compete for the cham
pionship of the state. These teams
will be the champions of their re-
spective districts.
North Schools Shooting High.
In the first district, composed of
Bonner, Boundary and Kootenai
counties, the teams from Occur
d'Alene, Boomers Ferry and Sand
point are reported to be showing up
equally well. The local tournament
for this district will be held at Occur
d'Alene, possibly including also dis
trict two, which embraces Shoshone
and Benewah counties. In the latter
district the Wallace team is reported
to be going strong.
Latah county alone comprises the
third district. By vote of the high
IL
that Moscow should always be admit
ted to the tournoment without COM
petition.
Clearwater, Lewis, Idaho and Nez
Perez counties compose the fourth |
district. The tournament will be held |
the first week in March in Lewiston.
The team to visit Moscow will prob |
ably be one of the following four:
Lewiston, Nez Perez, Culdesac or
Grangeville. All are excellent teams. |
and dope experts are at a loss to
know which to suggest as possible
champion.
District five embraces Adams,
Washington, Payette, Ada, Canyon,
Bose, Gem, Elmore and Valley coun-
ties. Boise, Emmett, and Caldwell
are leading in this section, with a
good chance for Mountain Home. The
Tournament will be held at Caldwell.

GALE YOUNG RICES
POETTCS AND POEMS
''Shado,cy Thresholds" Offers
Definitions and Illus
trdtiOnS

Neither the free verse forms Of Miss
Lowell and her disciples nor the tenn
pestuous gallops Of Robert Service serve
as models for Gale Young Rice in his
latest volume of poems. which he en-
titles 'Shadowy Thresholds.
MIR. Rice. il might be claimed, follows
no one master. but he tends, in the
present volume. at any rate. to the
stricter poetic structure of English and
early American traditions. In his long
and interesting-although by no means
definite or overpoweringly novel-pref-
ace. the poet gives the following defini-
tion of poetry.
Poetry is the expression of our ex-
rerience in emotional word -rhythms
more lyrically measured than those Of
prose, and having some permanency of
aprcal not possessed by mere verse"
With so general a model before him.
Mr.. Rice could not very we'll stray far
vary to such an extent that it might
be asked IL all the subjects included
have come within the range of the au-
thor's experience. II so. he has led one
Of those rowing eXistenccs that serve to
distinguish many modern writer's. At
other times his poems reflect the
sedentary and pensive type of verse.
This gamut Of subjects causes a rather
skipping motion in the mind Of the
reader. but If the latter likes variety he
can find it here.
"A Poets Childhood" which opens
the volume, contains twenty short poems.
1t might be judged from them that the
poets childhood was terribly unhappy
one. The charm of a Riley or Field
is somewhat marred by the constant ap-
,.l af T..
general sombcrness and pcssimism these
poems follow the old example Of Crabbe
or the more modern one Of Edgar Lee
Masters. They are written in the form
of blank verse.
The contents of the remainder Of this

number which reflect the war in odd
but not highly inspired, thoughts. Sev q.

BUTLER ON AMERICA
President Of Columbia Dis
cusses Whether II Is

President Nicholas Murray Butler.
of Columbia University. has collected
number of his more important papers
and addresses into the permanent form
Of volume entitled. from the initial en-
try. Ts America Worth Saving?" In
view Of the fact that Mr.. Butler is an
avowed candidate for presidential nom
ination on the Republican ticket, this
voiCing of his opinions, attitudes and
VIEWPOINTS takes on specially timely in
tcrcst. 1t gives the body and the spirit
of his political, economic and social
philosophy.
Naturally his philosophy is what is
called conservative in some quarters
and "standpat" in others, depending
on which wing of the G.. O. +. the
commentator belongs to. That he is one
Of those who would conserve and pre- &.
serve is nothing to Doctor Buffers dis =
credit. however, as history has demon .
strated the necessity of controlling the
balance wheel or rudder in eras of storm
and stress. Doctor Murray's utter
ances are what might be reasonably ex
prcted from the vice presidential can
didate on the Taft ticket of 1912, on
which the national committee placed him
after the death of the convention nom
inpr. James SchOolcraft Sherman.
Historical backgrounds, as well ms
current tendencies, are taken into ac
count in the formulation of Doctor
Buffers views. His book is divided
into two sections-"National Prob
lems," including the labor issue, the
cost Of living and the League of Ma
tions, and "Party Policies" dealing
with progress in politics, the present
duty and opportunity of the G. o. p
and Elihu Root as statesman. There
are also several important papers on
educational subjects. Naturally the
Interrogation in the title address is an

own way without any alien radicalism

LORD FISHERS
VITAL BOOK
Two Volumes Of Memories and
Records of Englard's Great
est admiral

Unless this reviewers Judgment Is
at fault, Lord Fishers two volumes of
Memories and Records will be one
Of the most popular biographies Of the
They will be popular for two rea-
sons. The first Is that Lord Fisher Is
n man Of force and originality who sue
ceeds in producing In the reader the i'm
preston that he is, In contact with a
real man. The second is that he deals
with questions Of naval strategy as they
related to the recent and more distant
wars and talks right out in meeting
about the blunders made by the British
Admiralty.
He produces the impression Of real
ity by the way in which the, book was
produced. He did not sit down in his
library and write it, but dictated IL to
stenographer while walking up and
down the room. The stenographer has
reported faithfully what he said, in
cluding his digressions and his apol-
ogies for making the digressions and his
belittling Of the written word. For ex-
ample, on one occasion he says that II
the reader could only see him walking
about and shaking his fist, then he
might get some impression Of his per-
sonality. But. alas he concludes. the
printed word is cold and impersonal.
If he had been a literary artist of su-
preme skill, he could not have con-
trived better to give the lie to his
words.
The parts of the book dealing with
the political and military history Of the
past twenty or thirty years will COM
mend themselves to every officer in the
navy and the army and to every seri-
Gus minded man interested in the solu
tion of the problems Of world peace in
the future.
