HARDING TO PLEAD FOR
BUSINESS STABILITY

ST. AUGUSTINE, Feb. IA plea
that the nation forget the arimosities
and paltisanShip of the aiter-war
period and put its shoulder unstint-
ingly to the wheel of reconstruction
IS expected to form the keynote of
Warren G. Harding's message to his
fellow countrymen when he comes in
to the presidency. Although the in
aucural address is far from COM
plete, it was learned today. that con
siderable work had been done toward
its preparation and that the subjects

and will attempt no detailed discus

an ar2"al for confidence in the ma
tons business stability linked with
an assurance that during the neyt
four years the administration will
keep awav from meddling methods IN
its relations with the business world.

had book made of golden parchment,
In which are to he recorded the names
and deeds of boy scouts who have done
particularly heroic service. The book
contains first of all, the names of the
10 of the 407 Philadelphia scouts, who
paid the supreme sacrifice for their
country in the World war. Next fol-
lows a permanent record of the names
and deeds of all those boy scouts OF
Philadelphia who, having risked their

names in this second group, as fol-
lows:
Bronze medal-Scout Lex Newman,
who on June, 1916, saved a comrade
from drowning in a stone quarry.

who, in February, 1920, saved four
year-old child from burning to death.

Silver medal-Scout Albert Grow,
June, 1920, for resouing another boy

An impressive service of investiture
took place in connection with the dedi-

the six living young heroes partici-
pated. All scouts present stood at at
tention while the names of the receipt
ents of the honor were read off, with
the official recital of the deed of cour-
age for which each was to receive
recognition. Each scout, SO honored
was summoned by bugle blast and
stood while his name was being en-
rolled in the Book of Heroes, and re
ceived his medal from the chairman
of the council. After this ceremony
was completed, each scout, in turn,
after three blasts of the bugle, retraced
his steps through the archway of col
ors. The ceremonial followed is SINH

HORSEPOWER ON GOOD ROADS

The value of hard surfaced roads
In getting products to market or in
taking goods from the cities to the
farms is shown by these facts, accord
ing to the Oklahoman:
Suppose load weighing 6,270
pounds must be taken to market. On
four different types of roads, the fol.
lowing number of horses, it is estimat-
ed, would be required to pull the
load, using the same wagon in each
case:
On loose sand or mud road, ten
horses.
On dirt road, five horses.
On gravel road, two horses.
On good macadam road, one horse.
To illustrate again: Suppose a
farmer uses one horse to pull his prod
ucts 20 market. On the various roads,
with the same wagon, the horse can
pull the following:
About 800 pounds on a muddy dirt
road.
From 1000 to 1900 pounds on a

About 5000 pounds on a good gravel

From 5000 to $500 pounds on a
