End of Harding's First Year

with capital discouraged and labor
distressed agriculture almost ready
to throw up its hands and quit; this
is the situation into which the Harding
administration was projected when it
took over responsibility for national
affairs.
The impossible has not been accom-
plished; there is of course plenty of
room for complaint of economic condi-
tons But a survey of the situation
shows that substantial progress has
been made during the past year toward
bringing the American people out of
the slough of political despair into
which they had been led by dema-
gogues and dOctrinaires, upon the firm
ground of old fashioned American
prosperity and progress. Today the
trend of American industry is upward. !

Heralds of Spring
CBy Henry c. Kost.)

The sullen sky is gray with clouds;
The mist lies on the sea;
And chill the wind blows Ger the
waste
And smites the barren lea.
The earth is damp with fog and rain;
The trees are lank and bare;
And yet a strange, mysterious breath
Is floating through the air.
The boar despoiler's loath to yield.
But wonarous powers strive
To swell the buds on tree and bush,
And burst death into life.
The sun his lengthening course pursues
And rouses slumbering day
To earlier toll, his summons beams
With each increasing ray.
The birds are on their northward flight,
Their notes high on the breeze;
They bid the playful waves defy
The blast that made them freeze
The heralds are awning, afloat.
And spring is their device,
Whose smile, triumphant over death.
