Failure to Get One Believed
to Have Blocked MEETING
With President.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Warren Harding has come and gone
and the expected conference between
Woodrow Wilson and the President.
may justly ask why. The truth OF
the matter may reveal an unfortunate
hesitancy on the part Of both of the
gentlemen concerned to take the in
itiative and a disposition on the part
OF each to stick to his own concep-
ton of the proprieties, but the facts
are these:
White House officials let it be known
70 newspaper men several days ago
that the President would "be glad to
see Senator Harding" The hint was
promptly taken and published broad
cast. 1t reached the ears of the Pres
ident-elect.
Senator Harding considered whether
formal, roundabout sort of an invita-
ton. He finally told friends he would
merely leave his cards and pay his re-
spects unless he received a formal
invitation or direct request to come
to the executive mansion for a con-
ference.
Would Have Accepted Invitation.
The President-elect would have
gladly accepted an invitation If he
had been given one. He hesitated for
this reason; He really didn't know
whether the President wanted to see
him. He remembered incidentally
that of all the messages Of congratu-
lation received after the election re-
turns came in, including a message
came from the White House. SEN
ator Harding has told friends he is
at a loss to understand it.
Indeed. it may be said that back of
Mr.. Harding's declination of the bat
tleship rendered him by the President
Of concern over the failure. Of Mr..
Wilson to send any congratulatory
message. OF course, when the May
flower was offered for the trip to
Washington from Hampton roads the
stop at Bedford, Va, made a rail
journey unavoidable and the May
flower simply couldn't have been as
however, have been accepted but for
the wonder in the mind Of Mr.. Hard
ing as to the absence Of any con-
gratulatory message from Mr.. Will
son. The public may have lost sight
Of the fact, but Senator Harding did
not. -,
Hughes Finally Acted.
It will be recalled that Charles
Evans Hughes didn't send a congrat-
uAAbOEy message 10 l0T. Wll6Ou III IcE
election day in 1916. but that was be-
cause there was some doubt about the
result, and finally Mr.. Hughes did send
q telegram. However. this time there
was no doubt about the returns.
In defense OF President Wilson's at
tftude in the matter, some Of his
friends venture the suggestion that
he did not feel that he could extend
congratulations with any degree Of
sincerity and that he didn't want to
seem hypocritical about it. To say
II congratulate you on your victory
over u.s. would have been inconsistent
with an honest mind. it is asserted.
but then other friends wonder why
the President didn't simply confine his
message to- the expression Of hope that
America would profit by the Harding
administration and that Mr.. Harding
would be successful

PLAN MORE OSTRICH PLumEs
South African Raisers Of the Birds Be-
iIeve They Can Largely Increase
the Supply.

An effort is being made by SoutA>
African ostrich farmers to increases
the plume quilts Of ostriches, and Pro-
fessor Deverden believes this can b.
done by as much as IS per cent, but
w. P. Pycraft, the great English nat.
uralist, is skeptical.
The number of plumes from each,
wing averages SO. and occasionally
runs as high MS AZ in the South Afri.s
can species and 80 in the North Afr1s
can. The latter is the larger bird
and its bones r denser. The Groot.
fontein School Of Agriculture is trying.
by proper mating to breed q race Of
~ plume birds.
Professor Pycraft writes in the Illus
trated London News that the ances.
tor Of the ostrich undoubtedly pos.
sessed the power of flight. when the
wing quilts Of the hand numbered 1B.
while the secondary feathers, attached
along the forearm, probably did not
exceed 26. This was the original ID,
heritance and It can never be III.
creased. especially now that the whole
wing has degenerated into a mera.
wreck Of its original self.
There are now about 10000 900 birds
on the African ostrich farms and the
value of their exported feathers. is,
about $15.0OO,OOO.

GET FORECASTS BY WIRELESS
Kansas Agricultural College Makes
Arrangement to Furnish Farmers
With Weather Probabilities.

The Kansas Agricultural COLLEGE
has announced that it will furnish the
weather forecasts to every Kansas
farmer by wireless telegraph. The
farmer will be required to install ans
amateur wireless set with which 90
receive the forecast. These sets cost
about $35 each and car be operated
by any person. They cannot be used
for sending messages for any con.
siderable distances but they will ~
ceive the powerful messages Of the
big plants. The forecasts are to be
sent out at 9:55 each morning under
a standard code and on the wave
length of 375 meters, short enough for
any amateur set to take. This wav
length is also long enough and the
college plant is powerful enough 80
that the message will reach every
point in the state. The forecast will
be sent at the rate Of 18 words a
minute and then repeated at 10 words
a minute. The service is to be given
free to every farmer, high school.
OF to any other person or institu-
ton having a wireless set. The high
schools in the small communities are
to distribute the forecast to the banks
and stores and to the telephone COM
panies. The knowledge of the prob,
able weather Is Of considerable I'M
p%ortance to farmers during the har.
vest and haying season, and to stock
men during the winter, for they can,
make preparations for feeding and
sheltering stock upon knowing Of an
approaching storm.

extent Of 200 square meters can be so
thoroughly swept with flames as to kill
all the insects. Asphyxiating gases
had but little effect but applications
of powered c%hloropicrin were much
more satisfactory. While vegetation
suffered somewhat the effects were
only temporary. Lastly, NJ. Vayssiere
made use of poisoned bait with a basis
OF arsenic like that employed in Italy
and in the United States and obtained
good results. He proposes to utilize
all three methods-first tie flame
throwers to eXterminate the hordes of
young larvae in all cases where their
use does not involve danger of fire;
secondly. chloropicrin powder where
the flame throwers would be danger
Gus: and thirdly poisoned bait in irri-
gated meadows where no cattle are
pastured.

Looking round the prodigious dis

wonder If she eve gave or threw any
thing away in her lifetime. Three
hundred or more tea gowns and eve

primitive simplicity Of early Victorian
ideals to the luxurious garments

STANDARD THE WORLD NEEDS
High Moral Example Set by Robert
Louis Stevenson Well Worth
Living Up To.

Robert Louis Stevenson, refusing to
take all that was offered him for q
poem he did not think his best, wrote
Il do not live much to God and honor.
but | will not willfully turn my back

In the modest words lies deep the
only standard by which a man can
nope to satisfy himself with his life.
1t Is a standard the world today sore
~ needs. We hear Of Unrest and shall
hear Of it. Why not, with so many
mel and wolne trying to live up to
q standard set by someone else? If
tney succeed. there is no happiness in
IT, FOR. 1t has no sanction from their
W hearts.
Inc mar we count successful in
material affairs and expect to find
happy is never one who has reached
a certain place. But when a mar
mas set a mark for himself in possess
slons and has kept that mark in view
until he reached it, We call him sue
cessful. 1t may have been a $4,000
home; it may have been one million
dollars. But it a his w goal.
1t is not less true Of his inner life.
we 90 not expect much of a man who
has no standard for himself of right
and wrong. And he cannot claim any
right to cOntentment. If his only NOR
al standard is the law, he earns only
the minimum Of satisfaction. Steven

dred or a million dollars he has not
earned, because no law will punish
him.-Milwaukee Journal.

League Covenant In Esperanto.

In the case of most international,
conventions a version in one language,
customarily French, is taken as the.
original text. The treaty of Versailles,
however. stipulates that the French
and English texts shall have equal au..
thority. But a perfectly equivalent.
translation of anything more complex:
than the multiplication table is i'm.
possible and already controversies
have arisen owe supposed discrepan-
cies in the two versions. So the Es.

Esperanto the official language Of the.
league all disputes would be avoided.

SALMON FLEETS
SAIL FOR NORTH
"Windjammers" in Vanguard Of
Fish Hunters Include Some
Famed Boats.
RECORD CATCH NOT EXPECTED
Many Alaska canneries Plan to Re.
duce Their Pack This Year
and Others May Not
Open at All.

Seattle Wash. - Big full-rigged
"windjammers," some famous as
American clipper ships long ago, al
ready are spreading their sails and
heading for Alaska, the vanguard Of
summer salmon fleets which go north
every year to work with the scores of
fish %canneries that dot northern har-
bors and inlets.
Dozens of other craft, steamers, gas
boats, barges and tugs, are going north
with the sailing ships. Before winter
they will all come blowing back with
this years fish catch canned and
packed and stored in their holds.
No record salmon catch is expected
this year, according to reports from
Alaska. Most, of the southeastern
Alaska canneries expect to reduce
their pack this year from one-third
to one-half normal and several will
not operate at all. One cause for the
cut is the fact that all of last years
pack has not been sold. Low markets
are given as another reason.
Short Catch Last Year.
Alaska's salmon output last year was
4,592.201 cases, the smallest since
1915. The high-water mark Of Alaska's
salmon years came in 1918, when. in
response to a wal. call for food, the
canneries sent 6,667,569 cases out.
Most Of the salmon are packed in
southeastern Alaska, a strip of terri.
tory that :juts south between northern
British Columbia and the Pacific
ocean. Last year southeastern Alaska
fisheries turned out 3,1OS,364 cases.
against 775,557 from central Alaska
and 70S,2s0 from far western Alaska
points. The central Alaska plants ex.
tend from Cape St. Elias westward tn
the Alaska peninsula. The far west,
ern plants are on the shores of Bristol
bay and the Boring sea.
About 1875 salmon canneries were
operated in Alaska last year by nearly
ninety companies. Several big con-
Germs operated more than one plant,
the Alaska Packers association lead.
ing with ten. Libby, Mcneil T. Libby
were second with nine. The North.
western Fisheries company operated
seven and the Pacific American Fish.
cries company four.
Many from Puget Sound.
Nearly all the boats of the FISHING
fleets sail north from Puget Sound,
altho M of the largest fleets, that Of
the Alaska Packers association, makes
its headquarters in San Francisco bay.
The Libby. Mcneil & Libby and the
Northwestern company boats winter
here, the Libby boats riding in the
fresh water Of Lake Union. The Pa
cifc American company operates from
Bellingham. Portlands South Bend,
Everett, Olympia, Astoria, Anacortes
and other ports send their share of
fishing vessels north.
Five or six thousand men are going
north to spend the summer working
at the fisheries. In the fall they will
come back with the boats and the
catch. For several weeks passenger
steamers running to Alaska have been
carrying capacity lists Of cannery EN-.
ployes. The Northwestern and the
Anacortes Fisheries company, both
subsidiaries of the Booth Fisheries
company, will use 1900 men in the
north this year.
