cifc ocean. He began to search for
Linkville.
Time was when Linkville was one
Of the principal towns of Oregon. Dan
remembered the place because some
of the time-yellowed letters his grand
father had sent him had been mailed
at a town that bore this name. But
Later he was to know the son
that the town, halfway between the
sage plains and the mountains, had
~prospered and changed its name. He
remembered that II was located on
n Of those great fresh-water lakes
of southern Oregon so, giving up that
search, he began to look for lakes. He
found them in p~lenty-vast, unmeas-
ured lakes that seemed to be distrib-
uted without reason or sense over the
whole southern end of the state. Near
the Klamath lakes, seemingly the
most imposing of all the fresh-water
lakes that the map revealed, he found
. city named Klamath Falls. He put
the name down in his notebook.
The map showed a particularly
high, far-spreading range of noun
tains due west of the city. OF course
they were the Cascades; the map said
so very plainly. Then Dan knew he
was getting home. His grandfather
had lived and trapped and died, in
these same wooded hills. Finally he
located and recorded the name of the
largest city on the main railroad line
that was adjacent to the Cascades.
The preparation for his departure
took many days. He read many books
on flora and fauna. He bought sport
ing equipment. Knowing the usual
ratio between the respective pleasures
OF anticipation and realization, he did
not hurry himself at all. And one
midnight he boarded a w~est-bound
train.
He sat for a long time in the vesti-
bule of the sleeping car, thinking in
anticipation Of this final adventure OF

his life. He was RS Their tremulous and
exultant as he sank down into his
berth.
He saw to It that at least a meas
ure of preparation was made for his
coming. That night q long wire went
out to the Chamber OF Commerce of
III of the larger southern Oregon
cities. In 1t. he told the date of his
arrival and asked certain directions.
He wanted to know the name of some
mountain rancher where possibly he
might find board and room for the re-
mainder of the summer and the fall.
The further back from the paths of
men, he wrote, the greater would be
his pleasure. And he signed the wire
with his full name: Dan Failing, with
a Henry in the middle, and a "IIr' at
! the end.
He usually didn't sign his name in
quite this manner. The people of
Gitcheapolis did not have particular
~ vivid memories of Dams GRANDPA
Their. But II might be that a legend
of the gray, straight frontiersman who
was his ancestor had still survived in
these remote Oregon wilds. The use
of the full name would do no harm.
Instead of hurting. 1t was a positive
inspiration. The Chamber Of Com
merce OF the busy little Oregon city
was not usually exceptionally inter-
ested in stray hunters that wanted a
boarding place for the summer. It's

QUITS OFFICE WITH A SMILE
Retiring President Shows No Regret

nceiTiH9 FTeSiucnt SHOWS NO He9ret
as He Sheds 8-Year Burden.
Washington - Eight storm-tossed
years in the presidency, filed with mo-
ments and scenes that will live forever
in human history, ended for Woodrow
Wilson, ''just plain Woodrow Wilson
now" as he himself smiling asserted.
Under his own roof again as a private
citizen, the former president rested
with his burdens of state transferred
to other shoulders and the shouting
and tumult of public place behind him.
And through a day that had taxed his
broken physical powers greatly, he
came smilipgly and with whimsical
humorous twist to his comments, yet
with no hint at regret in his retirement
from high office.

President Indicted Into White
House With Brief and Sim
pie Ceremonies.
GOES RIGHT TO WORK
Precedent Set BY Washington Revived
When Executive Submits to Senate
In Person Nominations of His
Ten Cabinet Officers.

and most dramatic of a generation.
Before Mr.. Harding had been Presi-
dent an hour he had revived a prece-
dent set by George Washington by
comforting with the Senate in execu-
tive session, submitting in person the
nominations of his 10 cabinet officers,
all of which Immediately were con-
firmed.
Then He "Went to Work"
Within another hour he had gone to
the White House to hang up his hat
and go to work" as he himself had
often said, and unlocked the White
House gates which for four years had
been closed to the public. The public
celebrated the event by actually over
running the grounds and peeping
through the windows to see the new
President in conference with cabinet
officers.
Mr.. Harding took the oath of office
at 1;18 p. m, exactly eight years to
the minute from the time the same
words of obligation were spoken by
Mr.. Wilson at his first inauguration.
Pornp Was Missing.
The inaugural ceremonies, conform
ing to Mr.. Harding's wishes, were kept
free from almost every show Of the
pomp and circumstance that usually
surround the incoming Of a chief exec
utive. Thousands witnessed the oath
and cheered the old and new Presi-
dents along Pennsylvania avenue, but
the crowd was only a fraction of the
customary Inauguration throngs.
On the Bible used by George Wash
ington at his first induction into Of
flee, and on a verse of scripture ex-
tolling the virtues of an humble faith
in God, Mr., Harding pIighted his best
ability to the presidency. In his inau-
gural address he reaffirmed his rever-
ence for the traditions of the fathers
and reiterated his belief that the SUI
preme task ahead was to bring the
country once more to normally.
All Remained Standing.
The inauguration ceremony took
place as usual on a stand erected
above the east steps of the Capitol, but
in marked contrast to previous in
augurations, when thousands of seats
were provided. All the distinguished
company had to remain standing. Even
the inaugural stand was much smaller
than usual, and was erected to accom-
modate a t~elephcnic apparatus which
carried Mr.. Harding's voice far out
over the Capitol PLACE and for the first
time enabled thousands to hear an in
augural address.
About the only features familiar, to
~inaugurals were the patriotic decora-
tons that luttercd under a bright sun
along Pennsylvania avenue and the
usual escort OF cavalry acting as a
presidential guard of honor in the ride
to and from the Capitol. The only
semblance Of a parade was presented
by the little group of official motor
cars and the hollow square of troopers,
kept at a trot all the way.

able obligations of the government
are not susceptible of immediate re-
duction. This was foreseen when the
republican platform of 1920 was draft
ed in Chicago. That platform speei-
fically stated that no immediate re-
duction of taxes could be promised
for the reason that the previous adj
ministration had conducted the pub
lie business in such a wasteful and
extravagant manner and had incur
red Indebtedness in such a drgree as
to make immediate relief out of the
question. The republican party dealt
frankly with the voters. Neither by
direct assertion no inference did it
promise immediate relief from tax
burdens. On the contrary it gave
clear and unmistakable warning that
no immediate relief could be expected.
This being true, the republicans can
not be charged with bad faith if there
be no dimnution Of taxation at the
present session of congress.
.''But even if the republicans had
promised reduction of taxes, what
reason would there be for the people
of the country at the election of 1922
to return to a democratic administra-
ton? It was a democratic admins
tration that brought about the condi-
tons OF which the people now COM
plain. This does not mean that the
democratic administration was re
sponsible for the war, the reasonable
expenses of which the people would
bear without complaint. But it does
mean that the democratic administra-
ton conducted the war in such a
wasteful manner and by such ex.
travagant methods as to pile up ar
Indebtedness far beyond any justifi-
cation. Not even the democratic
press will have the hardhood to deny
that under the democratic admins
tration there was an orgy of extra.
vagance from which the taxpayers
will suffer for decades to come.
"The political retirement of the re.
publican party would mean the res.
toration Of the democratic party
practically all of whose leaders were
either active participants in the WI
son administration or were its sup
porters. However much the people
may be displeased with republican
failure to reduce taxes now, if fail

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have been
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve Your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief Two OF three times during
the night.
Either consult Il good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces OF Jad Salts; take
& tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for q few DAYS and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidney ),
also to neutralize acids in the urine so II
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is lie saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer.
vescent Whitewater drink.

YEARS TRADE BALANCES.

The official figures for the fiscal
year 1921, show our import and ex-
port trade. Since imports and ex-
ports each recorded a similar de-
crease compared with last year, the
trade balance was not materially af-
fected. The following gives our IA
vcrable trade balance for the past
year:
192O-21, $2,862, 100000.
1t is an ill war that blows nobody
good, and if we have profited by
nearly twenty billion dollars in IA
vorabie trade balances, we have the
satisfaction of knowing we had moth
ing to do with precipitating the
greatest conflict Of all ages, while
there are some who believe we might
have prevented it had we possessed
a rugged mariner at the helm Of
state. Our pre-war trade balance,
that is, for 1914, nine months I'M
der free trade, was SAT- 100000, or
nearly 5000 100000 less than for
1913 under protection. And at the
time the war broke out in Europe the
monthly balances were turning
against US. These balances took care
in great measure of foreign interest
in American securities, services rem
dered by foreign countries, such as
steamship freights and insurance, the
expenditures of American tourists
abroad, and drafts from Americans
living abroad-invisible balances as
they are called. Few of these are Of
moment at this time. Nor have We
