 sion.

Stating that she is willing to pay a commission of $560 to the person entitled to the money, Josephine Jackman of this city today filed a suit in the Common Pleas court asking that Samuel Dworkin and Aaron Dworkin be summoned to court to present their claims for the money. Each claims a commission for the sale of property by the plaintiff to Hyman Dworkin for $2S, 900.

She asks that the defendants be restrained from suing her for the commission until their claims have been passed upon by the court. The action is re- turnable to the February term.

all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-

come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel q dull ache

get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take

Of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia and has been used for
generations to flush clogged kidneys

to neutralize the acids in urine 30 it

Concerning Reading.

It was said of Edmund Burke, who
was great reader ard great thinker
also, that he read every book a.. II
he were never to see5l a second time,
and thus made it his own, a possession
for life. Were his example initiated,
much time would " saved that; is
spent in recalling things half r@mem-
bered, and in taking up the stitches
Of lost thoughts. A greater loss than
that Of time would he ayoided-the
loss Of the dignity and power which
DIRE possessed by him who keeps his
mind tense, active, and wakeful. It
il very common to give the rule thus:
''Whatever is worth reading at all -
worth reading WELL" II by "well" IL
intended with the utmost stretch Of
attention, it is not literally true; for
there are books which serve for pas
time and amusement, books which can
be run through.-From Books and

9G & Warren G. Harding was born on
his GRANDPA theirs farm, not far; from
the little village Of Blooming Grove,
Morrow. county, Ohio.,a on the second
day of. November, 1865. There were
eight children in the family and SEN
ator Harding was the oldest. His ia
tther, George T. Harding, was the viii
lage doctor in those days and is still
practicing medicine in the city of
Marion, Ohio, the present home Of the
Senator. The original Harding fam
lily came from Scotland and settled
first in Connecticut and later moved
to Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania,
where many OF them fought in the
Revolutionary war. Warren's moth
er, for he was Warren, Jack, just as
you are Jack today, was Phoebe Dick
erson, descended from the Van Kinks.
an old Holland Dutch family. SO
you see our next President has the
strong blood of the Holland Dutch on
one side and the fearless, alert, and
liberty loving Scotch blood on the
other. -. ~,,:' + -
~ "As Warren grew up on his grand
fathers farm he had to learn to cut
down, trees; chop wood, split rails,
plant and hoe corn and all those
things that had to be done when to
raise crops meant raising them be-
tween the roots and stumps of trees.
Every thing was done by hand Tor
there was no expensive farm machin-
cry. Your father knows, Jack, what
hard work it. was in those days." T.
Didn't he ever play?" asked Ruth.

healthy boy and like all healthy boys
he enjoyed the sports Of the country
and village. He loved, the old swim
ming hole and no boy could dive
deeper or swim farther than War
rem. He had sunny disposition and
was the real leader of the gang of
his schoOl-mates. When he was six
teen he looked like a man and had
the strength of a man and there was
no older boy who dared bully him.
And he always protected the younger
boys. Up until he was fourteen years
old he went to the village school, and
then he entered the Ohio Central Col
lege Of Iberia. He graduated high in

scholarship. It was while there that
he showed talent for newspaper
work, for he was made editor of the
college paper. But the boys in those
days couldn't afford to go right thru
college. He had to stop for a time
now and then to earn money to 60
ahead and finish. During these times
he worked at many things. He paint
ed his neighbours barns, cut corn and
drove team to grade the roadbed Of
a railroad. He taught school when
he was seventeen and played a horn
in the village brass band. ,.a,,
h'"But after ne had a try at many
things he still longed to be news
paper man, and at odd times he work
ed in the little printing office. He
learned to set type by hand and later
to run linotype machine, which is
used today in setting one line Of
newspaper type at once. In fact he
learned from the ground up every
thing there was to know about q
newspaper and to this day he carries
in his pocket luck piece which is
nothing more or less than the old
printers rule he used years ago when
he was setting type. -.

Usher Of the Marion, Ohio, Star. The
Star Is his pet. When Warren was
nineteen his father moved to Marion,
where the Star was a struggling
daily paper in town of about four
thousand people. Warren could think
Of nothing else but that he wanted
to own that paper. His father finally
helped him take it over and then fol-
lowed months and months Of struggle
and hard work to keep it going. At
times he had to do everything tom
setting the type to writing the news
and printing the paper on a press
that had to be turned by hand. But
that story is too long to tell tonight.
The result OF his hard work has been
that the Star today is a big money
