Inauguration Ceremonies to Be

Harding Takes Oath-Calls
On Wilson at White House

Washinton,g March 3.-After eight
cventful years in authority, the DEM
ocratic administration Of woodrow
Wilson closed up its books today and
rested to await the termination of its
tenure at noon tomorrow.
While the final balance was being
struck by the outgoing officials, Warren
G. Harding. Republican president-elect
came to Washington. gave his approval
to the simple inaugural ceremony that
will attend his induction into Office,
completed formally his cabinet, and
finished his part of the inaugural pre-
liminaries by going to the White
House for Dcall of courtesy on Mr..
Wilson.
For his part, the retiring pres ident
preceded, perhaps, the last of the
long succession of sensations scat
tered through his eight years in office
by announcing that when he leaves
the White House he will take up the
practice of law.
Meantime, in striking contest to the
usual holiday turmoil of Inauguration
eve, the streets of the capital reflect
ed only in mild degree the complete
Encouragement about to be made in
the. national government. Flags and
bunting were broken out in recogni-
ton OF the impending event and to-
night the dome of the capitol building
was illuminated for the first time
since the cerebration of the armistice,
but the small crowds which had
cheered Mr.. Harding in his movements
about the city had almost entirely de-
serted the streets by early evening.
In accordance with the desire of
the president-elect. tomorrow's inau-
gural ceremonies will be far and away
the simplest of recent years. -Four
troops of cavalry will escort the pres

% lar as the omcerS OF the Ken

ject has not been called off," said
Peter Olinto Of Bath, assistant treas
urer Of the Crosby Navigation Co.,
and of the Kennebec Navigation Co.,
on Thursday evening. when informed
Of the report which appeared in the

effect that 1t was "all off,
Mr.. Olinto stated that the decision

garding the safe of the four steam

etc, had been delayed on account of
the illness in Georgia of Mr.. Stsne,
one Of the heaviest stockholders of
the Eastern Steamship Co. The d.
rectors Of the Eastern Steamship Co.,
at their meeting, held the first of
February, did not reach decision ii
the matter.
The published report that it is a
bad time for financing project, Mr..
Olinto stated. was true, but the sum
Of 500, 900 had been pledged in stock
subscription. Then, of course, a
damper came over the project by the
shaking of the steamboat, City uf
Rock1and, which occurred at the dock
at Boston about a week ago. BIT Mr..
Olinto said he had received no word
that the project had ben declared off.
The report which appeared in the
Lewiston Journal last evening, read
as follows:
It's all off. The project to form a

Harding and Wilson
Express Sympathy
to Wife Champ Clark

Washington, Mar. 3.-President-
Elect Harding in person and Pres
ident Wilson, through written mes
sage, today extended their sympathy
to Mrs. Champ Clark on the death
yesterday Of her husband. the Demo-
cratic leader and former speaker of
the House Of Representatives,.
President Elect Harding, accom-
panied by Mrs. Harding, leaving their
hotel for the first time after their
arrival in Washington, shortly after
noon, called on Mrs. Clark late in the
day. They spent about quarter Of
an hour with Bennett Clark. son of
the dead House leader, and Mrs.
Clark. The president ELECT had pre-
viously extended his sympathy to
Mrs Clark in telegram sent last
night.
President and Mrs. Wilson rendered
their sympathy earlier in the day in a
note, written by the President and
delivered by a White House messen-
ger. AS another mark of respect to
Mr.. Clark's memory, the president is
sued orders for the lowering to half
mast Of all flags on government
buildings during the funeral services
here in the chamber of the House on
Saturday and at Bowling Green, Mis-
souri,, the former speakers home, on
Monday.
The expressions of sympathy from
the president and president-elect
were but two among hundreds that
poured in all last night, all of today
and were continuing tonight to tell
the bereaved family of the great place
the dead leader had made for himself
in the hearts of his countrymen
The proceedings Of the. House, in
which Mr.. Clark served for more than
a score of years continued under the
shadow cast by his death. Final
preparations were made for the fun
eral services to be held Saturday
forenoon in the House chamber and
tonight the House laid aside the rush
of last minute legislation for an hour
to pay tribute to its former presid-
ing officer and leader. Members view
with one another in eulogizing the
virtues and qualities of Champ Clark
as displayed on House floor and In

Say Will Accept

He was quoted as saying that the
Germans would examine the prime
minister's speech, that their intention
had been mistaken and that no occa-
sion would arise for employment of
the measures outlined by the allies.
The German text of DR.. Simons
speech, however, puts a different
complexion on the matter. Accord
ing to this, the German foreign sec
rotary protested against sanctions
(penalties) without legal founda-
tions." This, of course, is based on
the treaty of Versailles which pro-
vides that penalties can not be en-
forced until after May 1, but ignores
the allies contention that the Ger
mans have failed to comply with the
conditions Of the treaty.
DIR. Simons is in close consultation
with the other members of the dele
cation and also with the Berlin cab
met, and while some of the Germans
continued to insist that they could go
no further towards meeting the
standpoint of the allies. the belief
prevailed that they will make new
proposals, which Mr.. Lloyd Georges
speech was intended to induce them
to do.
The British prime minister's pres
entation of the allies case greatly
pleased the French. He drew par
allel between German action now and
at Frankfort in II, when the treaty
was based on the assumption that
France was in the wrong. and Ger

Early cabbage is especially desirable,
as it furnishes green food at a time
when it L. needed.
In giving suggestions on growing
cabbage, garden specialists Of the Uni

say the proper variety must be plant
ed. Some kinds require a longer pc
riOd for their growth than others. Jer-
sey Wakefield and Charleston Wake

the early crop, Jersey Wakefield be-
ing considered earliest Of all. The va

Plants must be started indoors, IN
hOtbed, or be shipped from some
point farther South where the season
is advanced, If extra early cabbage is
to be grown. One or two cigar boxes
filed with fine soil and placed In
south window will form a seeded
for starting 100 to 200 cabbage plants.
The little seedlings must be trans
planted to larger boxes or to a cold
frame when they begin to crowd each
other in the seed boxes. Cabbage
plants are quite hardy, and along the
South Atlantic coast are grown in the
open by the acre.

nure that can be spared and then add

AVOID DODDER INFEsTATION
Farmer Should Use Plants Known to
Be Immune to Attacks of
Pestlferous Weed.

The necessity Of selecting plants
immune to dOdder infestatiOn when
cultivating newly cleared land was
emphasized by report which recently
reached the United States Department
of Agriculture concerning the destruc-
ton of an entire field Of eggplant on
newly cleared field in Pennsylvania.
So bad was the infestatiOn that not a
single fruit was formed ON the para
sitized plants and the entire field was
destroyed. The dOdder was determined
as hazel dodder, a species not I'M
common on hazel and other wild
shrubs and on tick trefOil and other
wild herbs, but never previously re-
ported on cultivated plants. The de-
partment recommends that on land
known to contain the seeds of dodder.
farmers should use plants which are
immune to attacks Of the pest. The
following plants are not susceptible
to injury by dodder; corn, soy beans,
velvet beans, cowpeas, and small
grains such as oats, wheat, and rye.
Potatoes and buckwheat, crops
commonly used on newly cleared land,
are not very likely to be injured by
dodder, but truck crops should not
be planted on land known to contain
dodder seeds.
