TRIUMPHANT ENTRY !.
Of NEW PRESIDENT
WARREN G. HARDING DELIVERS
SHORTEST INAUGURAL ADJ
DRESS ON RECORD.
SERVICE" WAS THE KEYNOTE
With the Induction of Womanhood In
to Our Political Life We May ex-
pect Our Social Order Exalted.

Washington, March 4.-President
Harding in his inaugural address said
My cOuntryme1, when one surveys
the world about him after the great
storm, noting the marks of destruc-
ton and yet rejoicing in the rugged
ness of the things which withstood it,
II he is an American, he breathes the
clarified atmosphere with a strange
m1ngling of regret and new hope We
have seen world passion spend it's
fury, but we contemplate our republic
mistaken and hold our civilization Sc
cure. Liberty-liberty within the law
and civilization are inseparable and
though both were threatened, we find
them now secure, and there comes to
Americans the profound assurance
that our representative government
is the highest expression and surest
guaranty of both.
Standing in this presence, mindful
of the solemnity of this accession, feel

the spirit and add to the resolution
with which we take up the task, let
me repeat for our nation, we shall
give no people just cause to make war
upon us. We hold no national pre-
JUDGES, we entertain no spirit of re-
venge, we do not hate, we do not
covet; we dream Of no conquest nor
boast of armed progress.
If, despite this attitude, war is
again forced upon us, earnestly hope
a way may be found which will unity
our individual and collective strength
and consecrate all America, material
ly and spiritually, body. and soul, to
national defense. There is something
inherently wrong, something out of
accord with the ideals of representa-
tive democracy when one portion of
our citizenship turns it's activity to
private gain amid defensive war while
another is fighting, sacrificing or dy-
ing for national preservation.
Out of such universal service will
pose, a new confidence and consecra-
ton which would make our defense
mpregnable, Four triumph assured.
With the nationwide induction of |
Tomanhood into our political life, well
nay count upon her intuitions, her re-
inements, her intelligence and her in
1uence to exalt the social order. We
count upon her exercise of the full
privileges and the performance of the
luties of citizenship to speed the at
ailments of the highest state.

guarding against dangers from
within than it is watchful against

CARLOADS OF GRAIN SENT OUT
AFTER EXPENSES DEDUCTED
SELLERS GET FEW DOLLARS

A newspaper man was regaled Wlth
tragic story the other night-noth'
ing bloody, but truly saddening.
Several rice farmers "chipped in"
and made shipment of rough rice
several carloads, maybe six in all.
After expense of freight, brokerage
commissions, ETC., were paid the farm
ers received sixty-odd cents net per
bag for their product-and it cost
several dollars a bag to produce IT.!
Not much profit in this kind of farm
ing, one would naturally remark.
This same story comes from all ov'
er the rice belt, sometimes in anoth
er form, sometimes in the same habili
ment. In fact, judging by rumors and
talk. quite a number of farmers bit
hard at the "milling-on-tolI' bait, ship
ped their rice and haven't heard
word about the matter since-theil
rice went up in smoke somehow ant
somebody else pocketed the returns

cutting off of the current has caused
disagreeable interruption in some
lines of business, especially in the

COMMISSION GRANTS
PHONE REHEARING
GIVEN 4 MONTHS
IN WHICH TO GET TOGETHER
AND PRESENT EVIDENCE

AS foreshadowed in the newspaper
dispatches the railroad commission Of
Louisiana Friday granted a rehearing
in the telephone rate case, and gave
the complaints four months time in
which to get together and present to
the board the evidence why the high
er rate granted the Cumberland com
pany should not stand.
Much criticism is being levelled at
the commission for its failure to sus-
pend the higher rate while the case is
pending. Unlike all other cases the
-.4sr judgment of the commission as
to the twenty per cent increase stands
until the case is finally decided by
the commission. Patrons of the tele
phone service are advised and warned
10 keep their monthly bills in order
that they will have concrete evidence
! for a demand for a refund from the
company should the commission de
eide that the company is not entitled
to the increase granted it in February
1t is supposed that there will be
concerted effort by the patrons Il
systematically work in unison in mar
shaling the facts from their view
point in order that there will be NJ
slip-up when the case again comes t.
argument before the rail board.
