NOW PLEASES HARDING
(Ry United PrcSS)

Washington, Sept. 23.-President
Harding was frankly pleased today
at the several riffs appearing in the

to Ilarding's treaty with Germany.
Austria and Hungary.
The indication Of Senator Under
wood, Democrat senate leader, to
back the administration through the
disarmament conference regardless
Of party differences.
Promises of early action on tax
revision.
Much critisicm Of the inactivities of
congress reached the ears of the
presidential party during the recent
trip and as result President Hard
ing has decided to take no further
trips for the present, so as to spent
more time on the job in Washington.

MEN NEARING THE IDEAL,
SAYS A WOMAN LEADER
(By United PreSs)

New York, Sept. 23.-At last wo-
man has made man out of man.
The reformation, in progress since
the beginning of time, now is accom-
plished, and man-the majority, of
course-has reached the height OF
perfection.
"And woman did it," Mrs. Mary
Coleman. attorney and club leader,
told the United Press today.
"Twenty years ago man spent his
nights at the club; 200 years ago he
powdered his nose in public and wore
silk panties; 1000 years ago he cut
a woman's head off if he didn't like
the part in her hair.
"But today-he comes home, helps
wipe the dinner dishes, and then goes
out and pushes the baby carriage
around the block.
"He shaves every day and keeps
himself neat and trim. Physically and
mentally he is the peer of any past
generations.
"The change was brought about
by woman. She keeps him at home
nights now because she is able ito dis
cuss business and politics and he
doesn't have to go to the club. She
makes him do some of the shopping
and be interested in the care of the
home.
"Why men have nerve enough now
to argue with the butcher because
there is too much bone in the steak.
ale isn't growing cfeminate-
he's just found out how to be man."

Vi AN ELABORATE AFFAIR

Wearing apparel, which is easily
valued at 100000, was displayed at
the Northern Minnesota fair Thurs
day evening when the grand style
show took place in front of the

which the audience had to find with
the show was that it was consider
ably too long. The stage settings for
the display were very appropriate and
the wearing apparel was elaborate.
Local stores which displayed the
latest in fall and winter styles were
Wilson & Co., Gill Brothers, O'Leary-

Circulation Campaign on Thursday?
Did you notice the big possibilities
for many Of the present club mem
bcrs to- surpass the leaders by put

you notice the exceptional opportun-
ity for entirely new club members
to come into this campaign and win
prizes worth hundreds Of dollars?
If you did not notice any Of these
things then you have overlooked a
chance that may never come to you
again. Why, the largest number Of

ers that it will be no trick at all for
someone to jump in and top list.

to Superintendent Dirty OF. the Dia-
