HARDING FIRST
BAPTIST. AMONG
u. S. PRESIDENTS

WASHINGTON, D. c., March T.
The twenty-ninth president is the
first Of Baptist faith.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harding have not yet
made known which church they will
attend,but it may be that the First
Baptist, at Sixteenth and o streets,
northwest, will number them among
It's congregation. The Rev. Henry
Allen Upper is the pastor Of this
church, which is one of the oldest in
Washington, having been founded 119
years ago.
Only nile of the 400 churches in
the capital can count presidents as
once members of their congregation.
So many chief executives have at
tended st. Johns Episcopal church,
at Sixteenth and H streets, across
Lafayette square from the White
House, that it is known as "the
church of the presidents" 1t was
built in 1916 when Washington was
arising out of the ashes after its
burning by the British in 1872.
Lincoln a Presbyterian.
Several chief executives, including
Lincoln, attended the New York Ave
nue. Presbyterian church, a red brick
structure which stands at the inter.
section Of New York avenue and h
street, only a few blocks from the
White House. Lincoln was said tt
have attedned many mid-week prayer
services at this church unknown tc
the congregation.
He would walk down to the church
enter a little room next to the assem-
bly, room by way of the alley door,
and there in the dark, with the door
open just a creek, would silently re-
main through the Service.
Washington worshiped at Christ's
church in Alexandria, which still
stands as a shrine for the visitor in
search of memories of the father d
his country. Jefferson and Johr
Adams attended the old st. Johns
church in Georgetown.
Taft Only Unitarian.
The church where President Taft
the only chief executive Of the Uni,
tartan faith worshiped, at Fourteenth
and L streets has been RACED to make
way for a commercial building
President Wilson attended the Cen.
trail Presbyterian church at Fifteenth
and Irving streets, northwest. Thu
little Dutch Reformed church wa!
the one most frequently attended b!
President Roosevelt.
President Mckinley was a membe,
of the congregation Of the Metro
politan Methodist church, as waI
President Grant. President Cleve
land attended che First Presbyterian
church.

A. c. Burrill, chinch bug expert of
the University Missouri AgricuI-
tural extension department, who will
visit this county about March 10th for
an active campaign with Audrain
farmers against the chinch bug in
Audrstn, wrote to this city this week
that Audrain county lost over a half
million dollars in grain last year due
to the inroads made on the crop by
this pest.
Cave johnson, son Of ]. T. Johnson
reports that he had 80 acres of corn
last year that was attacked by the
chinch bug and that as a result he
only secured silage from the field,
He has burned all fence rows this
year in the fight to eliminate a re-
petition Of this trouble. Mr.. John
son is only one Of the many who suf-
fered such losses in Audrain.
Those interested in Mr.. Burril's
work and desirous Of having him help
them fight the chinch bug should CON-
municate with the Audrain Chamber
of Commerce in Mexico before March
10th so that arrangements can be
made to have him work with them
along this line. Aundrain is making
much Roadway in this fight and our
farmers are far in advance of those
in other counties in the battle against
the chinch bug.
Ben Spencer has so acres of wheat
in which he reports as doing fine.
in the long pull, the cattle business
promises to be profitable to the pro-
drcer. Either selling prices must rise
or cost for production decrease to
where it will show a fair average
profit to the producer, just as is true
with every other basic industry
Otherwise the economic organization
of the United States must collapse
and that is absurd.
Sid Gilmore, Of Hatton, bought &
gray mare mule at Fulton stock salei
Monday for $210, and sold the ami
NAL to his brother, Robert Gilmore
for $3.50. D. v. Hamilton, west o.
McCredie, took a fancy to the brute
and offered the last purchaser a prof
of SIS, but it was refused. The tran.
sactions show that the mule market
is coming back a little, anyhow.-Ful.
top Gazette.
William Yates, of Auxvasse, passed
through this city Tuesday night with
"A car of hogs, car of mules and car
of cattle for the St. Louis market,
The shipment was a cooperative one
Gilmore & Hoffman, of Galloway
county, also passed through with two
loads of mules. The mule market
seems to be recovering slowly but
surely.

Watch for Them
Ruth Taylor

Another early spring mower belong
ing to the lily family is the Star of
Bethlehem or Ten O'clock, an ex-
tremely dainty plant with starry
flowers which decorate our fields and
meadows during May and June. The
slender stalk branches at the ton only
for the solitary flowers and krows
from four to twelve inches high.
The flowers open only in the sun
shine. They are ive-parted spread
ing and star-like. Each of the petal
like parts is pure white with delicate
veinings, and has a wide, green stripe
On the outside.
Botanists think that the Star of
Bethlehem is a truant flower that has
escaped from European gardens and
now grows wild in the United States.
The Violet is the most modest of
all flowers and the most popular.
There are many members ofthe Violet
family familiar to those who know the
woods nea Mexico. The most COM
mon and best known is the Meadow
or common blue Violet which appears
all over the United States and varies
according to the soil in which it
grows. Along river or in Doggy lands
it produces very long, Towering
stems, very necessary to lift it to the
light above the long grasses and
leaves in wet, swampy woods.
These Violets vary from deep pur-
pie to pale blue. Although they will
grow in open sunny places, they are
at their best in shade and moisture.
1t is in shade ina. MI frj them in
their deepest unbleached or unfaded
purple.
In the Violet as well as the pansy
can be found the little man sitting
with his legs crossed and his feet on
a footstool. Tear the petals from the
stamen very gently and this miniature
little elf may be clearly seen.
Napoleon adopted the Violet as his
emblem and when he returned to
France from Elba, he was greeted
with showers of Violets. In Paris
famous statues ara annually decorated
with garlands Of violets. Violet is
the college color Of New York Uni
versity, and Yale University has
adopted the Violet as it's floral en-
blem. It is the state flower Of Rhode
Island. Over 10000 acres Of flowers
are cultivated about the town Of
Grasse, France, for the manufacture
Eof perfumery. 1t is the sweetest spot
in the world, and tons of violets are
gathered here annually for perfumes.
The Violet is most modest, but the
Violet is the most popular flower that
grows. Literature is rich in poems
about Violets.

WILSON TO meet
CREB FEBRUARY 6
Middleweight King to Risk
Title Against Mauler
From Pittsburgh.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Johnny
Wilson. middleweight champion of
the world. will box Harry Greb. OF
Pittsburgh on February s in Mad
ison Square Garden for fifteen
rounds with the middleweight title
at stake Wilson has been under
contract for the last week to box
any opponent who might beselected
by Tex Richard.
George EnEle, who manages the
affairs OF Greb. today signed pa
pers agreeing to produce Greb to
do battle with ilson on the date
named.
A majority of Eastern boxing
fands do not concede Wilson much
of chance with Greb, but the
southpaw swinger who has retained
the title for more than two years
may prove a surprise.
Greb figures to finish an easy
winner. He has speed and clever
ness and while he has never been
credited with much hitting ability.
he has, more natural lighting quail
ties than the Boston Italian. In
his last appearance in Jersey City
last July. opposed to Bryan Dow
'ney, of Cleveland, Wilson did not
show any particular class, and as
result his end of the purse was
tied up by the New Jersey officials
for an extended period.

Sees Slump Of Millions in Betting !
On Maryland Tracks Last Season
Estimate 81; States Revenue at $70o,000 Indi-
Gates Decrease of Twenty-Five Per Cent
In Amount, Wagered in 1921.

tax will be. No exact figures are
as yet available, But the total net
revenue for the four tracks this
year may be approximately at $780,
600. Fifteen per cent of this amount
would be sl33,000. which the tracks
must pay the state.
PIsalico Pays Extra Fee.
In addition, Pimlico pays to BAL
timore County a fee of $4,000 for
each day Of racing at that track.
The four tracks payments are
thus: Ninety three days of racing
at $4,000, .s5ss,o0o; 10 per cent Of
$4,000 net revenue, sl3S,00o; total,
s691 900. Twenty-four days at $4,000
paid by Pimlico to Baltimore Coun-
ty. $4,000; grand total, $7s3,0oo.
The estimated total net revenue Of
sSs0.000 for the year bears out the
earlier forecasts that betting at the
tracks this year has slumped con-
siderably from last season. The rae
ing commissions report for 1920
shows that for the autumn raclns
season of sixty-nine days. the RIO,
revenue totalled $sI6.752 For the
ninety three uays comprising the en-.
tire racing season of 1921 the net
revenue was only about ss90.00o. The
daily net revenue for the autumn
season Of 1890 thus. averaged S12,-
200 in round numbers, as against
$3.50 for the present year. The
racing commissions report shows that
s3s.765.772 passed through the pari-
mutuel machines at the four tracks
during the autumn season Of 1890
On the assumption that the rels :
ton between total amount bet and
net revenue 10 substantially the same
. in 1890 and in 1921, the ratio e.tab-
lished between s3s.705.772 bet and
ssIS.752 net in the fall Of 1920 and
the sss0.00o approximate net for 1921
would give about s3s.50e.oo0 as the
total bet during this year.
This Is a drop of about IS per
cent in the daily average. But the
increase in the total amount bet is
even more marked. as there were
ia racing days in 1929 as compa red
with ninety-three in 1921. There
are no special figures showing the
total amount bet in 1920. but the
daily average of s5s0,0o0 for the
fall season. IL carried out for the
racing year Of ia days. would in
dictate total of nearly ss4.o 600.
This would be something like S24.-
100000 less than the estimated total
bet this year.

BALTIMORE. Nd. Dec. 2f.-The
four one-mile race tracks in Mary
land will. 1t is Appropriated. pay
TO the. State. this year a total of
100000. The preponderant item in
this total is a fixed quantity-the
$1,000 a day fee which each track
pays for each day of racing thereat.
There were ninety-three days Of
racing this year; the per diem fee
totals accordingly s55s.000.
The uncertain quantity is the Is
per cent OF net revenue which each
track pays to the State in addition
to the $4,000 per diem fee. The
racing commission is now figuring
out what each tracks net is. and
consequently what the Is per cent
