kind of secret organization. Mr. Harding belongs to
number of the best known societies and takes
delight in meeting with his fraters and participating in
their ceremonies. Mr. Harding typical American in
many other respects He began as an apprentice in the
printing trade and worked the ownership news

delight he takes meeting shaking hands with large
