some more; his royalties, in ceaseless

upin a San Diego bench, to watch the

Getting Down to Work

Surrounded by cabinet, which is generally
conceded to be an excellent one President Hard
ing begins today his arduous task of administer
ing the affairs of our government.
His inaugural address yesterday made no
rash promises, but reflected the judicous nature
of the man who is to guide our destiny for four
years.
He manfully asks for our cooperation and
assistance differing nightly in that respect
from his predecessor. His cabinet will not be
mere puppets, but real workers, whose advice
will be sought and whose decisions will receive
the consideration of the president
The willingness Of President Harding to en-
list the services of good advisers will be a ire
mendous help in dsposing of the affairs of state.
With the whole country willing to cooperate,
and feeling that the chief executive welcomes
rather than rejects suggestions, it is safe to as
sumo that speedy progress will be made in
formulating legislation to relieve conditions and
to restore the nation to state of normally.

Lusty Young Americans

To the jaded and tired man, who temporarily
has lost his enjoyment in life and his belief in
optimism, the sight of hundreds of lusty and
healthy young Americans, cheering and yelling
during the basketball tourney in the Coliseum,
must have been an inspiration.
Life means action for boys and girls They
cannot interpret it in terms of pessimism and
disgust with existing conditions. They cannot
be sluggish and indolent. They express their
feelings spontaneously and vociferously.
A brilliant bit of play is greeted with in
Simultaneous expression of approval, and poor
execution of a play provokes their disgust. And
so they indulge in yelling and shouting from the
minute the game opens until it closes.
Only misanthrope, chronic kicker and an
old crouch witness youth at play without
entering into the spirit of the occasion. The
enthusiasm at the Coliseum during basketball
tourney is contagious.
Staid old men and women, whose hearts are
filled with love for children, are carried back
irresistibly to the days of their youth, and they
are shouting and laughing with their progeny
before they are aware of it. The tourney is a
tonic for their nerves, which makes them forget
their troubles and worries.
1t would benefit many a man and woman
who has become too serious and too solemn to
attend gathering of boys and girls. I'm

FRIENDSHIP.

It's not IN the new found friends you
meet:
It's all IN the friends you aoId:
For an honest friend UP 10 the end
Is worth his weight in gold.
Perhaps !t's true that faces new
Some passing Joys impart,
But the steadfast friends are the
ones who stay
With mortgage on your heart.
What care for the surface smile
OF the muti-millionaire,
With his cOndescending patronage,
If the friendship isn't there?
I want the grasp OF the good, glad
hand
That softens troubles frowns.
Whether it's backed with a princely
robe
or suit OF hand-me-downs.
What can you take when you reach
the end
OF a life of Joy and pains?
When Mother Earth, on rich and
poor.
Has a deed to all remains?
What can you take?-an easing
thought
That Heavens blessing sends
The thought that you hold a biding
place
In the memory of friends.
A selfish world at the best it IS:
SO whenever you strike a friend,
Hook on and get a Nelson lock
And hold IL 10 the end;
For you'll find it true in this world
Of ours
Since ever old time began,
That an honest friendship. tried and
true,
Is Gods best gift to man.
