Washington, March 4.-President Harding in his inaugural address said: My Countrymen:
 When one surveys the world about him after the great storm, noting the marks of destruction and yet rejoicing in the ruggedness of the things which have withstood it. if he is an American he breathes the clarified atmosphere with strange mingling of regret and new hope. We have seen world pas sion spend its fury, but we contem- plate our republic unshaken and hold our civiliza tion secure. Liberty, fiber ty within the law, and civilization are fnseparable and though both were threatened we find them now secure, and there comes to Americans the pro- found assurance that our representa- tive government is the highest ex- pression and surest guarantee of both.

LEAGUE TAKES HAND


 Paris, March 4.--Messages have been sent by the League of Nations council 10 Panama and Costa Rica, calling their attention to the fact that the two re- publics are members of the league and consequently undertook to subscribe to it's principles and obligations.
 A few hours after the messages were sent and presumably they had arrive. at their destinations the league received cablegram from the Panaman govern ment reporting several attacks upon Panaman soldiers by regular troops of Costa Rica and protesting against "acts of violence committed by a member of the league" It said the Panama gov. ernment had accepted the good offices of the United States with view to reaching friendly solution of the dis pute with Costa Rica.
 U. s. MAY ACT
 Washington, March 4.-A number of vessels of the special service squadron now in Panama waters will probably be ordered to the mouth of the Sixola river where Costa Rican troops have crossed into the disputed territory of Panama, it was said here tonight. At the navy department however, it was said that no such orders had been is- sued as yet. although state department officials said they had requested that several vessels be sent there but unde- specific orders to effect no landing.
 Cable adyices received by the Pan- anna legation here tonight of the cross ing of the Costa Rican troops and ad- ded that the Panama troops were with drawing before them upon orders from Panama City. The Panama goyern- ment, legation officials said. had ac- ccpted the offer of the United States of it's good offices to achieve peace : lful solution of the difficulty and 1t was desired to commit no act that would endanger such solution. They pointed out also that the territory be : tween the Sixola river and Almirante | is covered principally with banana plantations of the United Fruit com pany and 1t was desired to avoid any property damage.

 Panama, March 4.--Confirma tion was received here this morning that Costa Rjcan forces are advancing upon Almi- rante in the province of Bocas Del Toro, where extensive North American inter- ests are located. The advces report cas- ualties but do not say whether Almi- rante has been captured although little hope is entertained that the Panamans could withstand the superior forces of the Costa Ricans.
 Almirante is included in the territory which Panama has been holding under the status quo while the frontier lines have remained undecided. Almirante, like Coto on the Pacific coast has been claimed by the Costa Ricans who have disputed Panaman possession before all arbitration courts.
 With the capture of three Cos la Rican vessels at Coto the Panamans have nearly 20 prisoners with corres9 bonding arms and equipment. They have inflicted about 30 deaths with two Pana- mars wounded and at present the Pan- amans are holding Coto undisputed
 Unconfirmed reports were spread here this morning that United States naval forces were ready to proceed to Coto and Almirante. At the Balboa headquarters of the Fifteenth naval district it was stated orders to make such movemen, had not been received The expectation prevailed. however, that United States naval forces soon ould move, probably for the purpose of protecting North American interests in the zone of hostilities.

FARM BUREAU SHOWS MUCH
ACTIVITY AND COOPERATION
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HOLDS
IMPORTANT MEETING AT DOVER
Some Definite Plans, a Few Already
Begun, Outlined for the Ensuing
Year-Select Headquarters


An important meeting of the Exc
cutive Committe of the Delaware
State Farm Bureau Federation was
held in Dover, Friday, for the pur-
pose of drawing up final plans for
definite program to be followed by
the organization during the year.
Since it is the aim of the Farm Bu-
reau to serve all people interested in
agriculture, invitations have been is
sued to the Delaware State Grange,
and the State Board of Agriculture to
send representatives to this meeting
with suggestions as the best methods
in which these bodies can cooperate.
In the short time since tire Federation
was organized several important
steps have been taken to secure bene-
fits for the members. In Kent and
Sussex counties information has been
secured and passed out to the local
communities relative to the best
available prices and methods of Sc
curing binder twine. In New Castle
county cooperation has been given in
planning the organization of coop
erative milk plant at Wilmington
which will serve the dairymen of the
surrounding territory. At Middle
town a cooperative grain elevator is
being planned and the farm bureau is
sending a committee to Ohio to secure
information from elevator companies
which have been operating successful
'ly in that state.
In Kent county the purchase of over
800 bushels of Soy Bean seed by farm
ers has been aided by the Farm Bu-
reau which located growers in the
county who had seed for sale and di-
rected purchasers to these farms. At
the present time, the supply of seed
in Kent county being exhausted, local
farmers are being referred to the Sus-
sex county Farm Bureau Office which
has listed over 500 bushels of SOY
bean seed.
All of which goes to show that the
members of the farm bureau are get.

are making active efforts to receive
it. The state federation Office viii

the state and will strive at all time:
to secure and disseminate information

She regards love as cross be-

In short she has all the virtues of

quite all of his vices.
And so, it seems to you. that she's
not a daughter you can be proud of
you're disappointed. You're rather
