is the newspi.int situation up this
way? / remember one time several
years ago wnen | went back home
from Washington for a little while
and took charge OF my paper while
my foreman went on a vacation.
| cant do that for him now. Well,
one SATURDAY. night after we had
ou1 editions off for the day, /
found that we had only three hun
dred pounds of paper left in the
shop and no more in sight that !
knew anything about anywhere
west of Buffalo. | spent Sunday
worrying, instead of worshippiny,
as | ought. The next morning the
office was flooded with newsprint
by express from all directions and
they dug out a carload of it for
us in the freight yard. Our crisis
was over for that time"
As the President stepped into
the waiting limousine, he pulled q
new golf ball from his pocket and
waved his hand. "Goodby, | am
going over to knock the pill
around little. | talk golf, not
that | can play the game, because
| am poor player, but | have just
as much fun over it as if | was the
champion"
After the departure of the Pres
ident the visitors were invited to
meet Mrs. Harding and the other
ladies and gentlemen in the party
Mr.. Almond and Mr. Cramton had
their cameras along, and an adj
dition to their collection which
they will very highly prize are the
snapshots of Mrs. Harding, for
which the "first lady of the land
very graciously posed, but which
caused Rear Admiral Sawyer, the
White House physician, consider
able nervousness in his attempt to
keep Mrs. Harding in out of the
sun-the lime-light, as it We're.
Secretary Weeks lodge has tenn
porarily changed the geographical
the White Mountain region by
addin" new peak to the famous
Presidential Range, for Mount
Prospect should certainly now be
called Mount Harding in honor
of the nations most gracious head
who is spending a delightful vaca-
ton there. 5r

huysen of New Jersey, Senator and
Mrs. New of Indiana, Senator

President Harding expects to re-
turn to Washington either Satur-
LAY VI Duiuty' ilC VIII ictbi IL
from Boston on the Mayflower.
The trip has been a most success
full one and with many pleasant
incidents. 1t has given New Eng
landers a near-view of their Presi-
dent and they have discovered
him to be a real man, square-toed,
broad shouldered ,clear-eyed, kind
hearted, right minded. They have
been glad of this opportunity to
come in personal touch with the
nations chief executive and believe
him to be safe, sound, honest
They believe in him and have con-
fidence in him. President Harding
returns to Washington realizing
this, and it will strengthen his
hands as he guides the ship of
state through the troubled waters
in the days to come. He is having
a good rest and vacation and will
want to come again,--in fact we
have his promise that he will come
again.
