MR.. HARDING'S FINE EXAMPLE

Minneapolis Tribune-Senator Hard
ing has had the courage of his per
sonal taste and his good sense in
sending a request to Washington that
all plans for a spectacular inaugural
be called off. The response to his
message was prompt and in keeping
with his wish. The chairman Of the
inaugural day committee in Washing
ton announced almost Immediately
that the program marked out to sig
nalize the change of administration
had been abandoned.
The message OF the president-elect
and the answer thereto came on the
same day that the house of representa-
tives voted an appropriation of $4,000
for a "grandstand" and other physical
appurtenances Of an old-fashioned in,
augural.
How these two things will be recon
ciled remains to be seen. The presi-
dent-elect, for an occasion Of the kind
in hand. is more or less in the hands
of the people, speaking through their
representatives, but his personal
wishes are worthy of the highest re-
spect. However the matter may fall
out, Mr.. Harding has done something
that is bound to meet favorable reac-
ton out ver the country. He has set
an example Of adherence to the spirit
of economy, public and private, and
that is much. He also has aligned
himself on the side of those who be
lieve that at a time when so many
people of the world are hungry and
in great physical and mental distress,
1t is becoming for this great, rich
country Of ours to abstain from pomp
and extravaganza at the seat Of gov
eminent.
Fifty thousand dollars is not a large
sum for the American people to pay
but it is 5 $1,000, the saving Of which
will be the setting of a precedent very
well worth while. Mr.. Harding shows
that his heart is right and that his
judgment is good. He stands to gair
much in popular esteem by his asking
for a simple ceremony on March 4.

PREDICTS HIGHER WHEAT

Everything considered, il would per
haps not seem unreasonable to expect
prices for wheat next spring as good
or better than they are at present, -
says VI. r. Benedict, farm management
expert at State college, after a careful
study OF the latest available world crop
reports. "On the other hand he sug-
gests, with the apparent world sup
ply a little in excess of the apparent
world demand. it seems unlikely that
W. should see very decided advances
in price as spring comes on. Just how
conditions may develop in the spring
is, of course, a matter for conjecture.
The evidence is that the world has
no great excess of wheat over prob
able requirements. Under such condi-
tons, ordinarily, the American grower
would probably look for fairly we'll
maintained prices.
Conditions this year, however, are
modified by the general period of fall
ing prices which is common to prac-
tically all countries of the world, by
lack of transportation facilities, by
the fact that We have tremendous
crops OF corn and oats, and also by
tho fact that Germany, Austria, Po-
land and probably Italy lack both re-
sources and credit with which to buy.
However, we are and have been stead
lily selling for export.
From July l to November l, we
had exported around lao, 000,0 900 bush
els of wheat. Our export sales are
and have been running over 1000, 900
bushels per day, at which rate our ex-
portable surplus would be sold out
some time about the middle of spring.
The foreign buyers apparently do not
feel inclined to hold off for lower
prices"

NARROW AND

 NATI0NALISM

Des Moines. Ia. June 3o-Denounc- ing certain features operative in the public life of America today, which were declared so serious as to al- most prevent us from being good neighbors to the rest of mankind, Rev. pr. W. J. McGlothlin, president of F'urman University, ,Greenv1l1e, sc, sounded a warning in an address to Baptist Young Peoples delegates at the Northern Baptist Convention Ses- SionS here today.
 One of the gravest of these, he de- clares, was a marrow and belligerent America from taking any share in the worlds SufferingS except as the action will inure to our benefit x X X which declares that America entered the war and made all her sacrifices from a purely selfish standpoint and that there is no other worthy na- tiona1 motive or policy in dealing with the rest of the world"
 The last quarter century has brought the whole world into a far more intimate relation, and contacts scope are being accelerated, the speaker said. That these should pro- mote good fellowship is vital to fu- ture peace and happiness.
 Another great handicap, asserted MT. McGlothlin, is our Trace price which makes all who do not belong to our racial group enemies or at least aliens To overcome antiquities 1 which arise from differences of 1an- | guage, color, religion, social customs. | culture, and economic antagonisms as well as those inherited from wars of the past is a tremendous problem, | fraught with possibilities of happi- | ness or sorrows like few others
 Baptist young people, to do their part, said the speaker, must make themselves important, fill diplomatic and consular places, go as mission aries at home and abroad, travel
 trade and write. They must attain a | world outlook, judging uuestio ons from "that high and broad consider at1on Of man as human beings all; and must establish relations from the religious standpoint" The democracy

Motion Picture
 Theater Owners
 In Convention

Minneapolis. Minn.. July 2s.-Pro- m1nent owners of motion picture playhouses throughout the United States will meet here today in con- vention when members of the Mo tion Picture Theatre Owners of Am erica assemble for a three-day gath. eI-ing.
 More than 5000 moving picture proprietors are expected to attend according to A. w. Steffes, of this city, president of the Northwest Thea trical Protective League and mem- Der of the national executive commit tee. About 1000 women, mostly the wives of theatre owners, will accom- pany the delegates, he said.
 Many important questions of vital concern to the playhouse proprietors will be taken up at the meetings, MT. Steffes said. Among these will be the following:
 Attempts by legislatures of various states to enact adverse legislation to the motion picture industry.
 Censorship. both state and federal.
 Uniform contracts for films be- tween the producer and exhibitor.
 Effects of the producer entering the exhibit business.
 The music tax, and the per cent federal film tax.
 Such states as South Dakota, Kan sas, Pennsylvania and New York are attempting to make laws to the det- riment of the motion picture business, MT. SteffeS declared, and the thea tre owners will make plans for organ ized opposition to these tactics. In some states, many of the attempts were fruitless, but nevertheless. the organization as a whole will combat them, he said.
 Effects of censorship as practiced in several states and the probability of censorship being extended to new states will be another outstanding | point for the playhouse proprietors, according to MT. Steffes. Among the prominent public off, cials and theatre owners who already have announced their intention of at tending the convention are: Secretary of Labor, James J. Da- | wis; Senator w. s. Kenyon, of Iowa | Marcus Loew, New York; Charles | Miles, Detroit; and Alex Pantages, Los Angeles.
 During the convention of the na- l tional organization of theatre own ers, the Independent Producers As | sociauon will hold a joint convention. | Many of the prominent independent producers of the United States will attend both meetings.

Only once in history did Indians succeed in wrecking one of the white mans iron horses" and this occurred in 1867 when band of Cheyennes ditched freight train on the Union Pacific near Plum Creek, Neb. strange scene followed. Among the loot which the savages took from the wrecked. cars were hundreds or bolts of calico. In a sportive mood, the young warriors tied the ends ot the calico to their poines' tails. Then they went careening over the prairie, the long waves of many-colored cloth billowing and floating behind them.
 While the Cheyennes were still en- toying this sport, from the surround ing hills dashed band of mounted Indians led by white man of sol dierly bearing. When the Cheyennes saw him charging down upon them, they fled in every direction, crying 1.-The White Chief of the Pawnee! ]! The White Chief of the Pawnee!"
 Mai. Frank North was the White Chief of the Pawnees." He had lived among them and they loved him. They adopted him into the tribe, calling hlm Pawnee La Sharo This meant great chief of the Pawnees" and chief even of the Pawnee chiefs. No other Pawnee and only one white man, Gen. John C. Fremont, ever held that title. Major North enlisted his first Pawnee

 The scouts were issued regulation blue uniforms, but they had their own ideas about how to wear them. A full dress parade was an amusing sight. Some wore only the trousers and were bareheaded; others wore the big black hat. but had breech cloth in place of trousers; and others cut out the seat of the pantaloOns, leaving only leggings All wore spurs. whether they had on boots, moccasins or were barefoot But they were good fight CTS for all of that.
 They were with General Carr at the Battle of Summit Springs, Colo, III 1S69 and here Major North killed the Sioux chief Tall Bull, although Buffalo Bill is sometimes credited with that feat.
 During his scout career Major North became a close friend of Buffalo Bill, and when he disbanded his scouts Cody and North went into the cattle business in Nebraska together, and were partners for many years.

Conway's Uniuue Plan.

Less public attention has been attracted by the unique plan adopted to raise funds for the Conway schools than it's ingenuity war rants. In keeping with the exper- fence of many other districts in the state, the people of Conway were confronted with danger of closing their public schools on account of a shortage of funds. This would have been disastrous for city like Conway, which is noted for it's edu- cational progress, and the citizens at once set about devising some plan to avert the threatened calami- ty
 The plan agreed upon is unique in it's application, although it has been recommended by many distin- guished economists as a method for the raising of federal taxes by the general government. It was agreed that sales tax should be paid and it was believed that this extra revenue taken in conjunction with rigid economy would enable the schools to run at maximum of service. Agreements were circulat- cd among merchants and others and only in rare instances did they re- fuse to sign. It is estimated that the revenue derived from this new plan will amount to about $1,000 per month. It has been estimated that not more than 10 per cent of the customers complained about the payment of the sales tax Most of the stores add the amount of the tax to the bills. In statement made by the board it is said:
 Tt is only fair that in move ment so Democratic as this, every citizen should lay aside his prejudi- ces and cooperate to save the most important institutions in Conway. We feel that the hundreds of peo- pie who signed the petition re- questing the merchants to collect the tax, and who are now so will ingly paying It, nave gwen evidence of loyalty to our city and to it's schools that is worthy of great praise, It is a pleasure to serve a community that is animated with such sentiments of loyalty and pa triotism.
