pocketbook broken last night

money and her sweetheart had
none, she learned on arriving at

bridegroom requested an iron man
or two to obtain sundry articles
necessary to personal cleanup

she told later to Acting Inspector
of Detectives Fred Cornwell, trust

One of the Greatest Pleasures of Life.
Nothing else carries me back to
childhood days like getting up and
standing around bright pine fire be-

here of the high price Of gas, or other
fuel, for there is no cost to this fat
pine except bringing it up to the
house and breaking it up, for it is so
brittle you do not even need an ak to
cut it. 1t is the best fuel in the world
for me- I also have as good water as
ever ran out Of the ground and the air
is just as good, thus you might say
that I have free Of all cost three-fifths

much money that I don't know what

HARDING DENIES
CHARGES OF COX
Republican Nominee Offers Reward for
Proof of ANY Change of Front
on league"
(sy Associated press.)

Jackson, Ohio, Oct. 20.-Replying to
Governor Cox's charges of inconsistency
on the league of nations issue, Senator
Harding offered in a speech here to-
day to "gvie reward to any one who
would produce specific evidence of a
change Of position since he accepted
the Republican nomination for the
presidency.
Mr. Harding also asserted that if he
had no specific plan for world as
ISOLATION, the same was true of Gov
ernor Cox, who had not told the peo-
pie what reservation to the Versailles
covenant he was willing to take.
Il docnot believe in very much Of
the presidents league said the Re
publican nominee. And if the Demo-
cratic candidate wants to regard this
as my thirteenth change, I give him
notice that / have one more yet to
give him. because. you know, am en-
titled to IL.
But as q matter of fact, will give
a reward to any one in America who
can take my utterances on world poll
tics from my speech Of acceptance
down to the speech 1 am making at
this hour, and point out any inconsis-
tency or change of position.
II have said from the beginning that
we would not have the Wilson COW
enant and / say that to you now. But
| have said repeatedly that America
will gladly play her part in a more
suitable association of nations which
does not involve the surrender Of
American sovereignty, which is built
upon the ideals Of justice rather than
force, and | say that again.
II have not. of course, specified just
how we would do it, because l am go
ing to be called upon to make good
But, my couatrymen, never with ar
ticle X, the heart of the league. That
is a heart of steel under coat OF
mail, while we want heart and soul
Of justice for a better order in the
World
Il hope that does not leave you in
any very great doubt. Let me ask
you a question: Have you heard any
one who is insisting upon specific
plans? Have on heard of any one
who tells us they viii take the Will
son league with interpretations or
reservations and have you heard any
of them with their glibness of tongue
tell you what reservations they are
going to take? No, you haven't.
The senator's reference to the
league was made in the course of a
speech at a republican barbecue here,
attended by several thousand people
from southern Ohio and neighboring
states. Immediately afterward he left
on a special train for Rochester. N.
Y, where he will speak tomorrow be-
fore winding up his campaign trip
with a night meeting at Buffalo.
