for that plant, as until recently could
be done, cannot be duplicated when,
ever the old one wears out
THE farmer must not only be on
abled to live, without taking from
coming generations the wealth Nature
spent centuries storing in the soil and
fairly to accumulate without depend
ing on. unearned increment; he must
be enabled to live as other people live,
that is, he must have his measure of
the comforts, the recreationS the luXu-
ries, as-it- were; which progress has
provided cheaply fer non-farmers. This
means good and ,well-equipped homes,
churches, schools, roads:
THE American farmer can do much
through cooperation and. he is now
ready, as never before, to act in con-
cert with all:in his class. But he can't
do it all. Others must help, and they
should help; for the agricultural prob
lens of the country involve farmers
only incidentally. You must not for
get that if famine came, the farmer
would have first call on what food is
available. Hence In the last analysis
the subject is more. important to city
folks than to the farming population.
"Its Importance may not be realized
by city people now. though the tenden-
cy of food prices to remain high des-
pite the collapse Of farm prices should
bring it home to them. What they
should remember Is that when the
crisis comes they will suffer most and
it will be too late to'find easily applied

MRS. HARDING WINS FRIENDS
New Mistress Of White House Already
Dear to Washington People.

1.-THE new mistress Of the White
! House has already; endeared herself
to the hearts of tho people Of WASH
| ington, and that Is no small achieve
| ment," declared Mrs. Frank Roe Batch
elder of Worcester, Mass, secretary
| of the woman's division Of the Re-
publican state committee, who return
cd after conferences with Republican
leaders in Washington:
Two incidents Of which she had
heard, she said, were, characteristic of,
Mrs. Harding. One old lady from
northern New Hampshire, who had
net been in Washington since the
civil war, wrote and asked Mrs. Hard
Ing's secretary if she would tell her OF
some place where she might go and
catch a glimpse of the first lady OF
the land during "Trip she was to
make. OF course, she explained, Mrs.
Harding would be too busy to meet
| her. but she was very anxious just to
see her. An invitation to call at the
White House was sent, but it arrived
after the old lady had left and was
forwarded to her. :,
She wrote later, greatly chagrined
at her failure to; keep: the. appoint
ment, and. thanked the presidents
wife for her great courtesy. The fol-
lowing day, at the door of her room in
the small hotel where she was staying,
visitor knocked, and the old lady
from New Hampshire was speechless
when she saw the presidents wife be-.
fore her..
On another occasion a soldier was
dying at the Walter. Reid hospital and
Mrs. Harding sent a great bunch OF
roses to him, besides the flowers which
she sent each day from the White
House conservatory. They arrived af-
ter he had died and were at once sent
to the boys mother, with a note OF
coincidence from Mrs. Harding. The
mother wrote her thanks, and declared
that her grief at the loss Of her boy
had been geatly alleviated by the re-
alization that the wife of the president
of the United States had thought OF
him and Of her. The flowers, she said,
she wore at the soldiers funeral.
Mrs. Hardins's photographs do not
do her Justice said Mrs. Batchelder.
"She is not matronly, as one might
think, but looks young and charming,
now that the cares Of the campaign
are over When she received me in
the Green Room. she wore thin navy
blue dress; on the sleeves were ac-
Gordon peated blue n(fles, edged with
tam
After we had finished talking she
said, Have you met my husband?
He's just the incest man. "
They then went downstairs to the
executive Offices and were met at
the door by Laddie Boy, who, as al
ways stood up and shook hands with
the ladies'"

Young Shoulders.


To the majority of people the state
ment that their shoulders are not OF
the same height will come as n sur
prise. but tailors know that almost in
variably the left shoulder is higher
than the right -
If &: baby's shoulders arc measured
it will be found that they are exactly
even. The fault has been placed at the
doors of parents who lead their child
by its left hand. The child, being on

The muscles and bones of the chllds

parents should watch. especially the
spine and shoulders. When there IS the

Interest to Women

the limited number Of invitations are
sent out:
If no visiting list has been kept by
the brides mother, or if it is long since
out of date and unreliable. then, in
deed, is the task hard one for all con-
cerned, but not hopeless. for most cities
have their blue book or social register,
which will be found source of great
assistance in making a new list. Both
mother and father must scan it care
fully for old and perhaps long for
gotten names Of the friends Of their
youth, and these very names will no
doubt suggest others that are not listed
but whose addresses can be found In
that most up to date Of al! directories
the telephone book.
1t is very poor taste to include
business friends on wedding lists un-
less we also have social relations with
them, nor should mere acquaintance
warrant us in sending an Invitation
We should have at least exchanged
calls or been entertained in the homes
Of all persons invited. with the excep-
ton, Of course. OF the bridegroom's
friends, whom we may meet thus for
the first time.
The bridegroom. too, should seek the
assistance Of his family in making out
his lists before bringing it to the
brides mother 1t is only fair that
each should be privileged to ask an
equal number of guests, but If the
Young mans list is somewhat less
than the girls it gives her greater lee
way, which she is usually only too
willing to avail herself Of. Nine times
out of ten the brides list is longer
than the bridegroom's.
If the wedding invitations cannot in
clude all the friends Of both families it
will be necessary TO send out wedding.
announcements, for every one on both
lists must be reached in one way or
another. This is absolutely essential.
