"Townley and his organizers"

farmer in North Dakota who refuses
to have anything to do with them as
a coward and traitor to the farmers,
and has his farmer members believ-
ing. He has spread propaganda by
buying up newspapers and through
them issuing inspired statements.

bate, but he added that Townley

THE MAJESTIC BINNEY
What Constance Binney Thinks of
Being Five Feet and Three Quar-
ters of an Inch Tall

Did you ever see woman who was
satisfied with her height? We never
did. Find a woman who is tall and
willowly and nine times out of ten
she wishes she were short and dumpy.
And find little fairy of a person
who really is cute, and nine times out
of ten she wishes she were tall as a
bean-pole. Little Miss Constance
Binney, who tips the yardstick at ex-
actly five feet and three-quarters of
an inch, thinks height is one of the
most heaven-sent attributes of wom-
an. lovely woman, and is reported to
be eating all the crusts that appear
on the table of that well-known
boarding house located at "39 East"
so that she will grow taller. She gives
as the reason. her desire to reach the
top, but the heads of Realart, who
signed her for her first starring roles
in films, say she will do that anyway,
poor little sawed-off athat she is, and
advise her to cut out the crusts and
eat waffles and maple syrup if she
likes.
In "The Stolen Kiss" based on the
book, "Little Miss By-the-Day," which
plays at the Majestic theatre tonight
Miss Binney towers as a screen star.

HARDING QUITS THE
NEWSPAPER BUSINESS
Resigns as President Of Company
Which Controls The
Marion Star
WILL START TO FLORIDA ON FRIDAY
(By International News Service)

lby international NEWS oeTVICeJ
MARION, Ohio, Jan. 20.-Senator
Harding's last day at home before
starting on his trip to Florida tomor-
row, was spent in winding up his per-
sonal business affairs.
The process started with his Off
cial resignation as president of the
Harding Publishing Company, which
owns the Marion Star By this action
Senator Harding disassociated him
self from the direction of the policy
of the paper, which he has had for
many years.
When Senator Harding took over
the Star, it was a rundown PROPOSE
tion, considered a joke. BY hard
work and vigorous policies he placed
it in the front rank of Ohio news
papers. and it was largely as result
of his work on the paper that he was
able to be elected to the United
States senate, and later to the pres
idency. In fact, the foundation of
his political fortunes were laid in the
office of the Marion Star.
The Senator will spend short
time in Florida, before going to
Washington to complete plans for
his term as President.
