bad quality. DR.. Stresemann. leader
of the German Peoples party. has now
given notice that he will make inquiry
OF the government in the Reichstag
regarding the matter and vill ask
whether it is true that the meats were
from American army supplies and had
spoiled through improper care in ware
houses.
The inquiry as prepared by DR..
Stresemann intimates that a second
contract was made after meat de-
livered on the first contract had been
rejected because it was spoiled. The
inquiry adds that the miners who ate
this meat we're sickened by it and that
out of their dissatisfaction grew labor
troubles. The inquiry will be brought
up as soon as the Reichstag reassem-
bles after the Christmas recess.

Mr.. Taft did not recite the fore

discuss any dissatisfaction he NAV
feel toward the Harding plan.
His face widened into a genial smile
when some one asked if he would &C

Candle in Harding Window
From forgotten days early in the
last century when Marion was a vii
lage no larger than Bethlehem each
household here has been accustomed
on Christmas Eve to draw back the
parlor curtains and place in the win
dow q lighted candle to symbolic the
coming Of Christian faith into che
world.
Soon after the street lamps began
to wink and flicker in the winter dark
ness tonight Mr.. Harding lighted
candle and set it carefully in the front
window of the green house with the
spacious porch at $50 Mount Vernon
Avenue, placed it SO that its glow was
framed in the center of q wreath of
holly
About the same time in the house next
door, the theater of great political
paused as he was about to call it day,
leave his Office and cross the yard for
dinner. using an oldfashioned marble
mantlepiece for desk and a stub Of u
pencil, he wrote thoughtfully for a few
minutes When he mad finished he read

thoughts properly, a Christmas greeting
to ail Of the people whose Chief Magis
trate he Is soon to be.
Thousands Of gifts have come to the
Hardings, many from close friends, but
most of them from folks the Hardings
never heard of in their lives. But more
important TO these two people are the
gifts they have distributed and not the
least important of these was box Of
candy and an orange that was given to-

There will be two guests of honor at
the Harding dinner table tomorrow
Miss Betty Sparkes and Miss Dorothy
Sparkes, OF New York City, who are

years old. They are daughters Of Boy

be the half-dozen correspondents who

KEEPING CATTLE AND SWINE
Are Most Common and Best
Paying Propositions.

The keeping of cattle and Of swine
appear to be almost in%separable opera
lions. This fact is being brought out
in the returns of the Better Sires-
Better Stock" crusade of the agricul-
tural colleges, the United States de-
partment of agriculture and co-operat-
ing agencies. This general practice
has long been known, but much more
definite information is being gathered,
and the purpose is to extend 1t to such
an extent as to determine the relation
ships among all meat animals.
II nearly every man who keeps cat
tie also keeps hogs, and If nearly every
man who keeps hogs also keeps cattle.
the inevitable conclusion is that the
combination pays, especially when
purebred sires r used. But 1t re-
mains to be determined what are the
most common and the best-paying pro-
portions. The same thing applies also
to combinations of cattle and sheep, or
swine and sheep, or. cattle and sheep
and swine. One benefit of the work
will be that 1t will enable the man of
small personal experience to avail
himself of the wide experience Of a
great number Of men In working out
the combinations of meat animals that
he will carry on his farm.

 Two flat denials connected with charges that have figured in previous testimony were produced, however. One was entered by William Barnes, Jr, who asserted that the book "Repub- licanism in 1920" published by his company, the Albany, {N. Y.)
