 In this connection one Of the best oi the Harding anecdotes is told. Colonel Christian was talking to Warren about the war of the sixties and being decid. edly an authority on it, was telling Just hof all the important engagements were fought and won.
 Senator Harding listened for lona time and then he slowly shook his head, as one often does when one is inclined to be incredulous.

George B. Christian, IT,, Has Always Been Democrat, But He Is Harding'S Most h.
 timate Associate
By ROBERT Y. SMALL

Marion, O., December 3l.--(SpccialD There no longer is any doubt that George B. Christian, Jr.. secretary (" Senator Harding. Is to be secretary to the next President. Official announce ment of the appointment may he ex- pected within few days. It may come in connection wita the publication of several cabinet appofntees, the sO- called sspillars" of the structure Sena- tor Harding is building.
 Folks outside of Marion or unfam- liar with Marion history, cannot ap- preciate how close the association has been between Warrep Harding aui George Christian. They grew up to- gether and the secretary be is only seven years younger than the Presi- dent-to-be, They have belonged to ths same clubs and played tennis together until "old age" forced them into golf They also studied politics together, but mostly from the opposite side of the fence for Christian historically is allied with the democrat party of this state.
 NEVER CAST A SHADOW
 Politics, however, never cast d shad- ow between the two men. Some years ago Warren Harding bought d home on Mount Vernon avenue. George Christian bought one next door and in those days the Harding front porch wasn't any bigger than the Christian ! front porch. During the ii- -fated subernational campaign ,n 1910 the Columbus republican .rlee club sere- naded Candidate Harding and tho crowd was so great, it broke the front porch down. It was then that ths commodous porch destined to make history this year was added to the Harding home.
 The next President did not dream in those days the use to which the struc- ture would be put in 1920. hut. being 2 hospitable person and liking company, he determined he would have a porch which would accommodate all his friends and neighbors without sag gng
 II was put 10 some severe tests dur ing the four months of the presidential campaign, but stood the strain nobly.
 COMM THE HOME When Senator Harding was nom- hated last June at Chicago. he im- mediately communicated George Chris- tians home and made executive of- fices of il. To this use 1t is still bcin.; pvt and in N,e Christian home all of the important conferences of the last few weeks have been helc.

MODEL FARMHOUSE
 IS FAIR FEATURE

Gadsden, October 22.-(SpeciaL)-
 At the community fair at Duck Springs section this week there were several exhibits that attracted more than a passing notice. One of the best and most praiseworthy exhibits was the miniature model house built by young boy. Dewey Yancey. It was a model farmhouse, with all the necessary outbuildings, such as barn. woodhouse and henhouse, with water mill running with motor power, which generated electricity for the home. which was lighted up with electric lights. 1t showed great ingenuity and patience of the young farming lad and his exhibit attracted considerable attention. Another ex- hibit was a home made violin, which some fiddlers present used and said had a good tone. There was also an old mule. 53 years old and still able owork. and a Poland China barrow hog, which weighed TOO pounds. It was by far the best fair Of the seven had in the county the past two weeks.
