Especial to The Press)


MARION, Ohio. June 22.-"Teach
your boz to mind his country and his
mother"
That's the advice of DR.. George T.
Harding to fathers and mothers who
would have their sons attain fame.
DR.. Harding is the father of Sen
ator Warren G. Harding, republican
nominee for president
He sat in the "sitting room" of his
old home on the shaded main residence
street of Marion and told me of the
boyhood life of the man the republi-
can leaders hope to make president.
DR.. Harding wore the long g-tailcd,
black broadcloth coat, wrinkled and
greenish at the seams, that is the in
sigma of country physician.
SENT FLOWERS EVERY SUNDAY
"Warrcn was a good boy and he
loved his mother" the doctor said
"Why do you know that for Is years
morning. Even when he was in
delivered to her.
when she died ten years ago he
did not lay single blossom on her
grave-he's like that-believes in
showing folks how much he likes
them while they are living.
Before he was in school he begged
me to let him speak piece his
grandma taught him, at the last day
exercises.
"And," the old doctor added with
a chucklc, "since then 'he has been
speaking whenever he had an audi
ence that would listen"
The old man talked for q long time
of the boyhood adventures of Harding.
He is proud of his son and, as any
good father would, he thinks there is
no question about his election no
matter whom the democrats noTi-
nate.
OLD DOCTOR WOULDN'T MOVE
would you go to Washington if
your son should be elected president ~
asked him.
NO" he said. 'Pd go on living
here One of us in the White House
would be enough"
Bob Highly, aged village hardware
man at Caledonia, Ohio, where the
presidential nominee was raised, says
| he remembers w dIleH q NIdSN
at playing the alto horn and chewin'
| tobacco.
"Yes sir, that boy had wonderful
appetite for tobacco" says Highly.
"My boy used to- come home and tell
about Warren chewin' in school and
splttin' at a rat hole over in one
corner of the room. He'd hit that
hole three times out of four" AT II,
young Harding was six feet tall.
Lots of the neighbors down here
remember that alto horn.
It's joke now, but it wasn't 50
funny at the time.
Young Harding made an earnest
endeavor to become great musician.
His alto horn could be heard long
after 9 p. N. when the villagers
wanted to go to sleep and it would
be the town alarm clock in the
morning. He ''blew awful hard" the
old folks say, and his horn could be
heard above all the rest of the band.

GOOD HEALTH. GOOD MORALS

Good habits, good health and good
morals go hand in hand. Good habits
make good health and good health is
the first essential TO good morals. a
week will is usually associated with
weak body. Overeating not only
weakens the will through indulgence,
but it fills the body with food pois-
ons which overstimulate the nervous
system, create desire for stronger
stimulants, and deplete the physical
resistance. The person who controls
his appetite is making it easy to
build up a strong will that will exer-
else discretion in everything else; he
is going far toward building up the
physical strength and stamina that
is one of the essentials TO the devel
opment of the will power. Start a
child right by teaching him to eat
only the things that are good for
MIN in moderation. This simple re-
straint will lay the foundation for
that larger self-control that makes
for real success in later life.-Mich.

HOT BATTLE
Fresh Win Class Title From Sophs

the scrappiest interclass game ever
staged in a series for the class cham
pionship of Alma College, the Fresh

ed the fighting Soph aggregation on
Tuesday evening by score OF TO
& in an overtime game.
The guards on both the Yeariing
and Second Year teams did some
stellar work during the entire fray,
as the score indicates. Not until the
overtime period started, after the
two halves were played, could the
Fresh aggregation pull away from
the Sophs, so stiff was the battle,
and the advantage only came to them
on two long and somewhat lucky
shots at the basket, kirker getting
one Of these and Brewer the other.
and the four point margin.
Early in the second half the score
stood to 3, and before the regula-
ton tim had come to an end both
teams managed to annex another
point on fouls.
Considerable credit goes to the
Sophs for the brilliant game that
they put up, az they were not accord
Cd much chance, on dope at least, TO
hold the Fresh to such q close score.
The victory gives to the Freshmen
class the interclass basketball cham
pionship of the college, the Yearlings
having the only undefeated quintet
Of the four cass teams.
The Senidr-Junior game for the
cellar title, which was TO have been
played Tuesday evening, was not
fought out for some reason, and the
