Harding Annuls Army Harness Contract

to be reconditioned and sold or sold
in its original condition upon profit
sharing basis.
The grounds for the recommended
ton OF the attorney general upon
which the President acted were that
these contracts had been entered into
In violation of sections of the criminal
code prohibiting officers ard employees
of the government from having any
interest In government property or
contracts.
1.-The facts developed by the attor-
ney general led 10 the conclusion that
these contracts had been entered into
as result of conspiracy on the part
of certain former temporary officers
Of the army to obtain possession Of
these military supplies"
The Individuals involved in the ac-
tion of the President, Secretary Of
War Weeks and Attorney General
Daugherty, are former Col. George b.
Goetz of Ransom. w. Va; former
Maj. Joseph @. Byron Of Hagerstown.
Nd; former Capt. Azel f. Cochrane,
and former Capt. Henry @. Benke, all
of whom held emergency commissions

Washington Club of Clubs for Women
rHE woman's National foundation,

THE Woman's National foundation,
i recently organized here as a
means to focus the interest of the
women of the country in cooperation
with women's organizations has
bought S1,0O0,0OO tract of land in
the heart of the Connecticut avenue
residential district and plans to erect
buildings costing about $3,J00,000. Mrs.
@. G. Calhoun, president of the founda-
ton, has described its objects In an
address to it's 80 founders. and says,
among other things:
"One of the objects of the founda-
tion is simply to invite clubs and club
members who desire to feel that they
have a club of their own at the ma
tons capital. We are not going to at
tempt to subordinate any club, but

work and add to 1t. In this central

FEW EYES REALLY NORMAL
Just as One Is Right or Left Handed
So 1t Is With the Organs
Of Vision.

Very few people realize that they
are as much right-eyed or left-eyed
as they are right or left-handed.
Sit down In u chair and fix your at
tention on some subject on the other
side of the room. Quickly hold your
finger up right In front of the object,
and instantly shut your eyes. Then
without moving your head or your
finger. open your eyes one at time
If. when you open your right eye, you
find your finger directly In front of
the object, you are right-eyed. In
that case you will find your finger
very much to the right of the object
when you open your left eye.
If you are right-handed you viii
most probably find that you are right
eyed.
This is due to the fact that of the
two halves of your brain one is slight
ly more developed than the other. And
the organs and limbs on that side of
your body which is controlled by the
more developed half are able to carry
out your wishes more easily and
quickly than those of the other side.

Denby: No More Navy Bean Spilling

MO CENSORSHIP, but-Secretary
of the Navy DENLY issued a gen.
eral order relating to public utter
ances and writings of navy employees.
There will be limitations concerning
utterances on questions such as for
eign relations, war plans and confiden-
tial matters.
After setting forth the exception the
DENLY order says:
Nevertheless, unrestricted utter
ance or publication of fact and opin-
ion may divulge information which 1t
is not advisable to make public, and
may constitute an offense against mill
tary discipline as conduct prejudicial
to good order and discipline
For information and guidance of
the naval service this order enumer-
ates some of the limitations which
come under the naval regulations.
"(a) Articles bearing on the for
eign policy of the government. (b) Ar
ticles offensive to foreign govern
ments. (c) Open discussion of war
plans, proposed or approved strategic
and tactical plans, or of new develop
ments in naval material not yet made
public.

Ousting of the Inefficient Army Officers

In the right place. .he best interests
of the service should always be para
mount in deciding this question, and
1t usually requires a study of the Off
GERS whole record to determine 1t.
''An officer receives his base training
in the branch In which he is commits
stoned, and must be fit for duty in
his branch in peace and war Should
he not show fitness for any branch,
then his case will be brought to the
attention of the annual classification
board.
There is now law providing for
the elimination of inefficient officers,
and the blame must rest entirely upon
the army If we retain this class of Of
ficers on active duty"
The new orders issued by Secretary
Weeks may serve to bring to head a
situation that has existed ever since
the War department began to carry
out the provisions of the recent law
having for Its object this elimination
Of unfit" officers.
Elbert County tribune and Elbert County banner., 1921-07-15

ECRETARY WEEKS has ordered
y the heads of all branches of the
army to eliminate officers who do not
measure up to standards of military
efficiency. officers who cannot give
satisfaction in one branch will be tried
out in some other, and those who fail
to measure up in any of the positions
will be subject to retirement on small
pay or discharged under the provisions
of recent law. In an explanatory
statement the War department says: :

HINTS FOR GARDENERS

Start Right by Buying Good seeds
No matter how rich the soil, or
how carefully prepared. or how well
the crops are tended, the gardener
cannot expect to make his garden
success unless he starts with good
seeds-seeds of strong vitality and of
the right varieties.
1t is a poor practice to buy "any
old seeds in five and ten cent pack
cts from the drug store or hard-
ware store. The experienced gar
dener purchases from a seed house
that has a good reputation. Since
no seed house will guarantee It's
seed in any way or be responsible
comes doubly important to purchase
the best seeds. "The best seeds are
cheap at any price"

mends the following list of varieties
