THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Sparring for wind is an old ring
phrase, and it fits President Harding S
position in his message to Congress
this week to a ct" He gives some
very sound views on some things at
home, but in the foreign field he is still
without policy that can be called
really definite He wants peace with
Germany by resolution, yet demands
that it be based on the Versailles
terms. That does not accept the Yer
sailles document at all, yet it shows a
leaning and an appreciation for the
finer points of the settlement fixed by
the Allies, and this doubtless was what
Mr.. Harding meant. The message COW
cred about all of the things before the
country, but it really gets us nowhere,
so far as practical adjustments are
concerned. Whatever is done will re-
quire long time to complete, so that
the President may be in position to
change his mind before conclusion
is reached. He wants separate
peace with Germany at once il Con-
gress will only vote it. He wants dis
armament, but will not take the initia-
tive He wants nothing to do with the
"present League of Nations" but
would subscribe to a new one. He
wants government waste stopped, and
he wants to stop the excessive railroad
costs for fare and freight.
Taken as comprehensive document,
Mr.. Harding gives the party that put
him in power all the demands it made,
but he clearly leans to the ire concila-
bles. The message was not great
state paper, but it was plainly typical
of Mr. Harding, who is man without
frills. He has been in Washington
long enough to have a clear under
standing of the country's affairs, and
what he says is valuable on this ac-
count. AS the President of the whole
people Mr.. Harding must get respect
full attention, but his own party organs
do not enthuse over his message to the
slightest degree This is the unvar-
nished truth, uttered with the hope
that his term of Office will be filled
with good results.

REWARD OFFERED!

This is the concluding paragraph OF
President Harding's address to Con-
gress and it may help to explain why
so many of the European newspapers
have been left speechless:
We can render no effective serv-
ice to humanity until we prove
anew our own capacity for CO.
operation in the coordination of
powers contemplated in the Con-
stitution, and no covenants which
ignore our associations in the war
can be made for the future. More,
no helpful society of nations can
be founded on justice and COM
mtted to peace until the covenants
re-eStabliShing peace are sealed by
the nations which were at war.
To such ACCOMPLISHMENTS the
complete re-establiShment of peace
and its contracted relationships, to
the realization of our aspirations
for nations associated for world
helpfulness without world gov
eminent, for world stability on
which humanity's hopes are found
ed-we shall address ourselves,
fully mindful of the high privilege
and the paramount duty of the
United States in this critical pc
Rod of the world.
We know that this means something
something highly important. 1t is
possibly the ultimate definition of the
r tlNr Mt tote nm
der the Harding administration.
Not being one of the best minds, we
are disqualified for the momentous
Judgment that the circumstances re-
quire; but being persistent and un
compromising seeker for the truth
we hereby offer a years paid-up sub
scription to George Harveys cele
brated Weekly to anybody who will
tell us precisely what Mr.. Harding
meant and will prove that Mr.. Hard
ing actually meant tn. y. World

Este FIaege to Marry
The wedding invitations of Este
Flagge are out. He will be married to
Miss Kathryn E. Baldwin of Norfolk
Va, at the home of the bride, 500
West Thirty-eighth street. Norfolk,
April %. Miss Baldwin is the daugh-
ter of Mrs. and Mr.. Levie William
Bunch of Norfolk. Lieutenant Flagge's
christened name is Howard Avery
Flagge, Este being an applied pseudo
nym in lieu of his surname when he
was quite young. Anyhow everybody
in Palisade will want to wish Este Il
whole lot of happiness and prosperity.
He is a boy of great pluck and has
been highly successful in the garage
business at Norfolk. 1t is said he will
come to Palisade to visit his parents
on his wedding tour.

Where is the Palisade baseball
team for this season? Other villages
are beginning to play the game.
Spring gardening has begun. Better
watch out and not get in everything
too early. 1t is not yet too early for
another frost. However, the tempta-
ton is very great-yes, and we know
it.
Young lady smokers are running
some risk of being criticised, but that
is of little account once the habit is
formed. There is really no harm in
smoking by women if they want to do
it. The one thing is that it is not
feminine. Even in hotel like the
Vanderbilt no woman may smoke
without attracting a great deal of at
tention. But attention of the right
sort isn't so bad.
The A. F. BeckmannS will leave for
their new home in New York city next

Hope so.

better than for some time.
Mrs. Evans, mother of Mrs. Sibley,
is slowly getting better of her broken
ankle. She is the most patient of pa

Helen PauIson says she never en-

A Migrating School
An odd thing connected with Penn
Hall of Chambersburg, the girls school
where several Palisade girls are in
terested. The month of May every
year is spent at Atlantic City. The
management hires hotel for this pur-
pose, and Penn Hall moves to the sea-
shore bag and baggage. Every class
is run there exactly as at Penn Hall,
and the recreation is a wonderful
change to the girls.
The Sibley home is still in the hands
of wOrkmen who are making it over
within with new hand selected oak
finish throughout. 1t is being so care
fully done that it will not be finished
till about July 4, Mrs. Sibley says.
The sitting room of the Brady home
has been done over and looks a work

Genuine Loyalty

To secure the absolute loyalty LOT
every citizen to the national govern.
ment above every other influence is
the concern of all right-minded peo-
pie. We cannot blind ourselves to
facts without disaster. We cannot as
sure the loyalty of the men to the
interests of all the rest unless the rest
of us are concerned about their we'll
being. We can bring about this result
only by the reform of our land laws
whereby the resources of wealth are
laid open to every one that desires to
develop them, paying to the communi,
ty the annual value of such resources
and abolishing forever the taxing
system which has grown to an in
tolerable burden.

narrow escape from serious injury
at Eleventh street and Twelfth ave-

Serious injury was also escaped
by i've passengers Of the other car.

against a curb and then turned
turtle.

DISCUSSED At
MORNING MEET
Wool Growers Of County Gather In
Alcdo Today-Lanb Luncheon
Served 1t Noon.

At the morning session OF the
meeting Of the Mercer county sheep
men held today at the opera house
in Aledo, Professor W. C. Coffey.
head of the animal husbandry divi-
sion of the University Of Illinois.
and Q sheep specialist, discussed
general farm problems. Following
the morning session lamb lunch
con was served. Misses Esther
Zentmire, Mary Close and Florence
Zentmire served the luncheon
In his talk Professor Coffey CALI
ed special attention to the fact
that big business concerns recog-
nize that farmers must receive as
much value for their product as
they are obliged to pay in order
to better conditions. Special at
tention was called to the general
attitude of the public toward farm
labor, which is generally classed
as unskilled. Professor Corey
contended that owing to the variety
Of tasks which the farm hand is
called upon to perform, he should
be classified as skilled labor. In
order to promote farm efficiency,
We need our own people on the
farm. Foreign labor cannot be
used. In order to pay for home
labor the farmer needs better prices
for his product. Higher wages to
the farm hands will keep the right
farm labor from going to the city
and the farmer is willing to pay
these prices if he can get the right
prices for his product.
In sreaking Of the importance OF
the farming industry Professor
Coffey referred to agriculture as
the nations greatest productive in
dustry and one on which all the in
dustries of the world depended.
In summing up his talk Mr.. Cot
fey briefly discussed several Of the
most important subject problems
facing the farmer today. He advis-
ed farmers to pay special attention
to production and to continue to
improve in livestock breeding by
the use of only pure bred stock. He
also called attention to one of the
greatest unsolved problems Of the
farmer, the control of disease
among livestock, and advised that
a careful investigation Of the sani-
tary condition Of livestock quar-
tiers on the farm be made and that
plenty of fresh air and sunshine be
given to all stock. The speaker
also stated that the farmers have
every reason to be, encouraged
along certain lines for, according
to experts, there is not danger Of
over supply of farm products.
