A mans first duty is to himself
not to his country or to his church,
according to Chaplain Riddle.
The message of the modern
church is that every man should
develop himself in three ways" he
declared. First he should devotion
himself as a family man, next as
a citizen. and third as a church
man. The highest ambition. a man
can have is to do the best he can
for himself. That man who is no,
true to himself cannot be depended

PRESIDENT HOPES
TO GO TO ALASKA
DURING SUMMER
Trip Depends Upon Con.
gress Adjourning by

President Harding hopes to
avoid Washington's torrid summer
weather by a trip to Alaska. Be-
yond his hopes for penetrating the
northern Territorial fields Of the
United states, ne has no plans for
establishing summer White
House" as has been the custom OF
his predecessors.
He has had many homes offered
him for such a summer recreation
homes in California, Colorado
Texas. New England, Washington
and Oregon.
The President. however. it NAV he
stated authoritatively. feels that he
should remain here while Congress-
is involved with its major discus
sfons and there is doubt that he
will go anywhere this summer. be-
yOnd an occasional trip on the May
flower, unless Congress finishes its
work and adjourns before August I.
Congress hopes to get away by
the latter part OF June. Both Re-
publican and Democratic leaders are
agreed to the informal understand
ing which would permit an ad-
journment by that time. House and
Senate leaders are personally in
volved in the political fights back
home" for their reelection.
The House. as a matter of fact. as
soon as the army and navy ap-
preparation bills are out Of the
way. will vote a series OF three
day recesses. having nothing else
vital to take its attention. in view
Of the fact that the Senate is tied
up with the tariff and bonus fights.
which. between them. unless they
are shelved, would require consid-
cradle time for debate.
So President Harding Is confident
he will be able to get away for his
Alaska trip. According to his ad-
visers. however. he won't go un-
less Congress is adjourned and he
won't go II such adjournment oc-
ours after August l.
Between now and the Alaska trip
the President will make an excur-
sion or so in the Mayfiower and
will motor over to his former home
in Marion. He will make a speech
or two in the Middle West, arranged
for long ago.
