MRS. HARDING FOUND
 SERVANT PROBLEM EASY

WASHINGTON, March (by As sociated Press).-Mrs. Warren G. Harding found her servant problem solved for her when she became mis- t"@ss of the White House today.
 Cooks, chambelmaids, laundrywo- men, butler and pantrymen-20 in all are provided by the government at a cost of $30,OOO a year and there is a housekeeper who has been in charge of the servants since the ad- ministration of former President Taft. Previous to that time a stew ard was in charge.
 Only the expense of the personal servants which new president and his wife may choose to have accom- pany them to the White House is borne by the chief executive. Mrs. Harding has retained the services of Inez McWhorter, her cook, and a chauffeur, but she found at the White House four cooks retained by the government and four chauffeurs.
 The matter of supplying the White House table may not prove as simple | for all food purchased whether for the private table or for state func. tions must be paid out of the pocket of the chief executive. Caterers to the White House usually are select ed by the housekeeper unless the first lady of the land" desires to follow particular preferences which may previously. have been formed.

FIRST NEWSPAPER MAN
 TO SIT IN WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, March 4 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-Warren G. Harding is the first newspaper publisher to serve as president of the United States. He is the twenty ninth chief executive, reckoning Cleveland's two terms as separate one because he was the only president serving twice who was not reelected. ,-..
 Nineteen presidents were lawyers at the time they were. elected. Three are classified as statesmen; two as soldiers; two as farmers, one as a public official. MT Harding might also fall within the class of states men as he had served six years in the senate when elected and was the first senator to. be elected president.
 Virginia leads in the nativity of presidents. Eight of her sons-'Wash- ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, William Henry Harrison, Tyler. Tay- Tor and Wilson-have. held the high est office in the gift of the nation. Ohio has given seven native sons to the presidency Grant, Hayes. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, Mckinley, Taft and Harding
 Eighteen presidents have been college men; one was graduated from West Point; nine had ne col lege education.

AUTOGRAPHED BIBLE
 GOES TO MRS. HARDING

WASHINGTON, March (by Asso- ciated Press) has made it practically law that the Bible used in the inauguration of a new presi, dent shall be provided by the clerk of the United States supreme court and that a new Bible be furnished every four years.
 Only on three occasions, so far as the records show, has the custom been departed from President Cleve- land insisted that the Bible given him by his mother be used at both of his inaugurations, and President Mckinley, when first sworn in, agreed to use a volume presented by body of African bishops. Since it was his task to hold the book, the late James II. Kennedy, then clerk of the supreme court, is said to have viewed with much trepidation the huge volume sent by the bishops.
 To the clerk of the court falls also the office of opening the book for the president-eeCt to kiss and the responsibility for noting carefully the exact verse upon which his lips touch After the inauguration, the Bible, fittingly autographed, is sent to the White House and presented to the wife of the president to be her personal property.

HORDE OF OFFICES AT
 HARDING'S DISPOSAL

WASHINGTON, March i (by Asso- ciated Press) Upwards of 50,000 appointments to public offices carry ing salaries aggregating more than $100, 100000 a year are to be made by President Harding. Some of these were made today, many others will be announced during the next few months, while still others will be made as the terms of present Demo- cratic office holders expire.
 The first fruits from the shaking of the official plum" tree were cabinet officers, whose salaries are $12,000 year each. Others to come include nearly a dozen ambassadors whose salaries are 7,50O each, many ministers at $1O,OOO each, assistant secretaries, federal judges, attorneys and marshals, customs collectors, members of various government boards and commissions and post masters by the thousands.
 In contrast to the huge patronage roll of MT. Harding are the ap. pointive perquisites of Vice President Coolidge, whose immediate appoint. ments comprise only his secretary, clerk, page boy and private tele, graph operator. Their salaries to- tai $7,7OO a year. The vice president himself receives $12,OOO.

because OF the claim constantly made
during the period that picking and GIN
ming were over. Production for the
Iperiod amounted to /, 1,145,5 bales.
The holiday broke trading up badly
toward the end of the week, and the
final session found considerable ac-
emulation OF selling orders, which
sent prices to new low levels. Liver
pool was very pcssimistic and con
stantly talked of short time in Man
chcstch, while mill takings for the
week were under expectations, 342,-
900 bales, against 100000 during the
preceding week. This seemed to cause
a great deal of liquidation OF long
cotton.

small part in the trading Of the week
