chief tributaries Of the Missis-
sippi. II is said that the early
settlers found in THIS territory,
an Indian tribe named Arkansas,
bur the actual meaning Of the
word is not known. 1t probably
has some relation TO the word
Kansas. There has been much
confusion as 10 the correct pro
nunciatiou of Arkansas To re-
move this as far as possible a
resolution was passed by the
state senate in 1881 which speci-
fed that the true pronunciation
WAS "Ar-kan-saw."
Originally Arkansas was a
pant Of the Louisiana Purchase.
Its drst settlement was made by
the French about 1855. Except
for the few years during which
by secret Treaty it was ceded to
Spain, it remained under French
rule, until purchased by the Uni
ted States in 1913. For nearly
ten years after this. it was
part OF Louisiana territory. With
the admission of the State of
Louisiana in 1872 this northern
section was formed into the Mis-
souri, territory In 1919 there
was another partition and Ar
kansas territory was created,
which included the present state

Due to the reports of an early
explorer named Pike. who visited
this region in lsU5. tie iucOr-

that most OF the expause Of

seemed to be plenty of room to spare,
for the most noticeable quality about
Wakefield seems to be it's elasticity.
And besides the big house there's the
cottage just over the way, where a
dozen guests can be taken care of and
where the menfolk are usually tucked
away.
Basil Gordon has the aviation bug

Gen. Billy Mitchell, who motored down

that he intended to fly down to call

But the Presidents insistance that III
be considered an entry has rather
complicated matters. 1t Is impossible
to close the municipal links to the
public and IL IL were known that the
President was to go in for tournament
play the crowd Of spectators would
inevitably be SO great as to make play
ing inconvenient If not impossible
Consequently II looks as though the
committee in charge would have 10
transfer the tournament to one of the
country clubs. s'
1t was when the President was
asked by the newspaper correspond
ants to present the trophy TO the
winner that he announced his plat
form.
II would like to present the trophy"
said he, but II might be a trifle en-
barrassing for me to have to present
II to myself. II you gentleman think
you can keep me out of that tour
nament by asking me to present the
trophy, you are mistaken. I'll pres
ent the trophy IL I must, but in no
sense must my acceptance of that
pleasurable duty be construed to mean
that I shall be barred from a participa-
ton .
Since the rules provide that only
active newspaper writer's are eligible,
the committee probably will demand
that the President write something
for the Marion Star between now and
the date Of the tournament.
President Harding slipped away

he also selected a remembrance for

along about this time, but who with

also selected.

very we'll and II was thought best for
her to remain quietly at the White
House. You know she had a sharp
attack Of ptomaine poisoning which
kept her confined to her room for sew .
eral days just before her trip to New
England with the President.
Mrs. Harding is such an extremely
active person. so cordial and so full OF
generous impulses, that she is inclined
to spend herself too freely. The de-
nsnds upon the time, the attention
and the sympa thies of the Presidents
wife are appallingly numerous; and Il
she Is to come unscathed through the
four-nay, perhaps eight-years of
this Administration, she must husband
her strength. Presumably Mrs. Hard
ing's advisers realize this II she does
not and may. be depended upon TO
watch over her.
Our cherished custom of hand.
shaking alone Is enough to drain
the vitality of the strongest person;
and Mrs. Harding has given a warm
welcome and firm and friendly
handclasp to thousands since she
entered the White House some five
months ago. It's a real martyrdom
which we inflict upon the wives OF
our Presidents as well as the Presi-
dents themselves; and there is some
thing to be said In favor of the plan
inaugurated by Mrs. Roosevelt. When
she received any large number of
people she used always to hold a
great armfull of flowers and her
hands would be so much occupied
that she could only smile pleasantly
at her visitors and give each a cor
dial word OF greeting. Mrs. Hard.
Ing Is so genuinely friendly that 1t
is difficult to imagine her greeting
her guests in any but the most
hearty manner. But perhaps. now
that the newness is wearing off and
everybody in .Christendom must have
been received at the White House
at least once, she can limit the num-
Der of her visitors rather than cur.
tall the warmth of her greeting.

at White House.

The President and Mrs. Harding ex
pect to stay on at the White House
through the recess, according to those
VINO should be best informed as to
their movements, taking occasional
Saturday TO Monday trips by way of a
vacation. They would naturally not
care to devote the month or six weeks
that Congress will be off duty to
visiting: and they dread the gallery
which follows their every move when.
ever they stop at a hotel. Conse
auently they feel that they will be
happier and more comfortable at the

A FTER the President and Mrs.
~ Harding returned from their
holiday in New England things
were rather quiet at the White House
for little while. There was even a
dearth of. the informal home" din
nsrs and luncheons which the Har-
dings delight in and they gave UP
the cruise down the Potomac aboard
The Mayflower which they had
planned for last weekend.
But the period of mastery mac
tivity" at the White House didn't
last. During the week just past, for
instance, the President and Mrs. Har-
ding had a merry little dinner party
for General Sawyer-Mrs. Sawyer
was away-who was celebrating his
forty-second anniversary. They also
helped Senator and Mrs. Harry s..
New to celebrate their thirtieth ami
versary, attending dinner which
the News gave at their apartment in
Wyoming avenue for a congenial
group of guests. They attended the
performance at Keith's theater one
evening. They entertained the dis.
tinsuishsd Dutch theologian, histo-
rian and educator. Professor Eekhof,
at luncheon. They even had an
tmpromptu house party for a night
or two, made up mostly of some of
Mr.. and Mrs. George B, Christians
relatives, who are visiting them. And

room only seats ten. That, Mrs. New
laughingly explains, is a great ad-
vantage to her mind. for It gives her
q perfectly legitimate reason for
avoiding the big and formal dinners
which she dislikes, and concertratink
on intimate little parties, just a few
congenial souls carefully selected. And
all the members of the pleasant little
company which assembled for this
anniversary dinner were old friends,
not only of the host and hostess, but
OF the President and Mrs. Harding.
Senator and Mrs. New will leave
Washington on Wednesday for In
diana and will be away until the close
of the Congressional recess. They are
not making the trip by motor, as SO
many people are doing nowadays, for
their motor car is waiting for them
at the other end. However, they ex-
pect to devote a good deal of their
holiday to automobiling, and may
drive back to Washington.
