SAYS HARDING,
CONGRESS NOT
IN DEADLOCK
Rep. Mondell Issues State
ment Denying Rift Exists
Says Relations Are Particu-
larly Pleasant and Cordial.
BLAMES PROPAGANDA
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Con-
gress and President Harding are not
at loggerheads, despite the impression
created by certain writers and GER
tain newspapers" Representative Mon
dell, Wyoming, Republican leader, de-
clared today in a statement which he
said he had prepared for delivery as
an address in the house.
The fact is that instead of the presi-
dent and congress being at loggerheads
as these writers and journals would
have the country believe" stated Mr..
Mondell, there never has been time
in my quarter of a century Of eXper-
fence in congress when the relations
between the president and congress,
particularly the house of representa-
tives, were more pleasant, cordial,
sympathetic and harmonious than at
the present time.
Invites Comparison
ANY one who will take the trouble
to read the recommendations of Presi-
dent Harding to this congress from
time to time and to examine the rec
ord of congress will find that practic-
ally all of these recommendations
have either been written into law or
are in process of enactment, and this
applies particularly to the record of
the house"
The Republican leader said he in
vited comparison with any period OF
American history, and challenged any
one to find record of finer relations
or more harmonious cooperation" be-
tween the president and congress.
There has been a general and substan-
io1 he oI1nI orIy on ,at
ters of primary Importance, but in the
consideration of many questions OF
policy and detail.
Glames Propaganda.
Declaring that there seemed to be
a systematic attempt" on the part OF
various newspapers and writer's to
create the impression that there was
friction between the executive and Re
publican congress leaders, Mr. Mon.
dell asserted that the anti-bonus cam.
paign of certain metropolitan news
papers has given us the finest example
we have yet had as to the length to
which some people are willing to GO
in a campaign of Misrepresentation y
Efforts are also being made Mr.
Mondell declared to make it appear
that there is wide rift between the
president and Republican leaders in
congress over legislation affecting the
army and navy.
81 venture the assertion" he stated
that the presidents view with re-
gard to the military establishment, is
much more nearly in harmony with
the action which has been taken by
the house than it is with the attitude
of the majority of the newspapers and
ineWSDaDer writers who have aSSum ed

miners wages.
Under this proposal, the basic wa5e
would be ga cents a ton for picked
miners. and S. day for day laborers
the deduction being from $1.0S a ton
for pick miners, and $3.50 a day f3i
the day workers.
Ir addition, operators have declared
they had agreed to insist in the eli1ri
nation of the checkoff of miners unicn
dues and assessments, and added tia
they were ready for long shutdown
of the miners to enforce their pro

NEW YORK, March 30.-The hush
of idleness seemed today by ALREADY
descending on the unionized coal in
dustry of the nation and the anthracite
miners and operators subcommittee on
wage contract negotiations abandoned
all hope of halting the strike set for
April l, and entrenched themselves
for long struggle over the confer

fields, Phillip Murray vice president OF
the United Mine Workers of America
announced. Union miners $4,000
strong will lay down their tools at
midnight tomorrow when their present
working contract with the operators
will expire he said.
While expressing a hope for speedy
negotiation of a new contract for the
anthracite workers. neither miners
nor operators would predict today thar
such an agreement would be reached
before the nation began to feel the
pinch of coal shortage.

we must have time to do so,'' said Ia
Dor members of the committee of
eight. 1--WE are content to wait until
the miners have fully presented their
case; then it will be our turn to come
to bat" said the operators.
With these comments they resumed
discussion of the mass of data on
costs of living, wage increases, haZ-
ards of the industry. mechanical pro-
duction and market profits. on which
the union men base their 19 demands.
Among them they are stressing the de-
mand for 20 percent increase TO con-
tract laborers; a minimum of $500 a
day for unskilled day laborers; the
check off system by which the mine
operator collects the workman's union
dues and uniform wage scale for
machine operators.

COUNT
ON FARMER VOTERS
IN FALL ELECTIONS
nv MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, March 30.-One OF
the factors relied upon by the Repub-
licans to help them this year is the
change in conditions in the farming
communities of the middle west and
west.
Six months ago the farmers were in
despair. The prices of the commodi-
ties they had to sell had not merely
fallen to pre- war figures, but were
actually in many cases below them.
Not only were the prices low, in some
instances there was no market at any
price whatever.
These conditions were distinct
political factor. The condition in
some parts of the west at that time
seemed to foretell political action of
decided violence, taking, in some
cases, the form of the threat of the
formation of radical party.
There was a time when the resent
ment of the farmers and the business
men in farming communities took the
form of strong feeling against the fed
eral reserve system. They blame the
system for the period of deflation and
low prices. At that time it was freely
predicted that the whole existence OF
the federal reserve system would be
come an issue in the congressional
elections, and some went so far as to
predict that the system would be
abolished.
Prices Are Higher
All that seems now to be, in the past
The prices of farm products have
risen anywhere from so to 100 pei
cent. The added value given to corn
and other products by these increases

MUST L|NGER ON
Lovesick Youth Denied the Soft
Embraces of Death
Feminine FickIeness Too Much for
Sixteen-Year-old LiewelIyn Scott,
but Doctors Save Him.

There are no disappolntments, no
joys. no sorrows and no tragedies
as great as those OF youth. For in
all mans life, the days of the teens
are the most real, the most impressive
and--the funniest. With this as a
prologue, let the curtain rise on the
crowning life tragedy of Llewellyn
Scott, sixteen years old, and romantic.
In Llewellyn's life was a mystery
woman. She Is a mystery TO the po-
lice, for the lad refused to divulge her
name. She is a mystery to Llewellyn
because-well, all women are mys-
teries anyhow. But Llewellyn loved.
He loved with the undying devotion
of his years, and while he loved well,
perhaps it was not wisely.
Just a few brief days ago, with joy
Gus heart, he saw the girl, as was his
custom. The two talked of parties,
long trousers, school and summer va
cations, as men and women OF such
years are apt to do. And at the end
of the conversation the girl gave the
boy a note to give TO another boy, the
usual hated rival.
Llewellyn was doubtful. He want
ed 10 please the girl, but enough was
enough. He decided to read the letter.
He did. Then. with great desire to
be of service to the girl and save her
from an undoubtedly terrible end, he
decided to destroy the letter, as he
did not consider it proper note for
a girl of fifteen years old TO write TO
u boy.
For few hours the glamor and
glory of herolsm surged in Llewellyn's
heart. He pictured himself as knight
Of old standing with lifted sword over
the PROSTATE body Of "the hated rival"
while that individual begged for
mercy and the girl came and threw
her arms about him and pleaded for
the life of the unworthy one. Finally
he yielded and the< william" skunk
away into oblivion.
But this dream was halted by an
ever-growing fear that all was not
well. In the first place, the VILLAIN"
was bigger than Llewellyn, which
sometimes affects even the stoutest
heart. AS days passed, the feeling
that possessed Ilewellyn grew until 1t
bad reached that vital spot at the
knees which causes them TO shake and
quiver unnecessarily. Then came the
decision.
From this point on Llewelyln's story
Is questioned somewhat by the physi-
clan at the receiving hospital along
certain technical lines. Llewellyn says
that he could stand 1t no longer and
took quantity of what he believed to
be poison. intending to shift this NOR
tai coil. The doctors say that what he
prob bly, took was not what he
fsvught il was. Anyway, he was
found lying in an undlgnified position
where he thought he was about to
take pair Of wings and fly to another
world.
He was taken TO the hospital,
where the doctors made him as good
as new. Then he went to his home.
Now he IS worried by the fear that
some time, somehow, the newspapers
Will find out about it.-Los Angeles

Queer Boats Sail the Tieris.

BY far the most interesting craft
on the upper Tigris are the "qufa"
and the "kelak," this latter coming
from up-river and descending TO Bag
dad. The "qufa." as seen In Bagdad
today, is a circular tub made of inter-
woven osiers, covered outside with
pitch. The large ones are as much as
six feet across and four or five feet
deep. They are propelled by two men,
who stand close together and, lean
ing over the edge, dip their paddles
deep into the water and sweep them
away from each other.
In summer these coracles come
floating down to the city, spinning
slowly round and round, piled high
with fat, juicy melons, their gun
wales almost awash. But they are
steady enough boats, not easily cap
sized. The "kelak," on the other
hand, is really raft made up of large
numbers of inflated pigsklns lashed
together and decked over with timber
and brushwood. These float down
stream with the current, often carry
ing firewood. cut In the mountains at
the source of the Tigris, to Bagdad.--

IN MEMORIAM

In loving remembrance of our
granddaughter, Eva Havener, who
passed away, January IL, 1921:
ooh yes, our darling was taken,
Just one year ago today.
While our hearts were so near
breaking,
God bore her spirit away.
But he left us the dear little body,
SO beautiful, and white, and pure,
But, oh; to leave it at Woodlawn,
Seemed more than we could en-
dure.
Oh yes, we miss you, dear Eva,
But as we think of your suffering
and pain,
And how so patiently you bore it,
We could not ask you to bear it
again.
But we, by the help of the Master,
Will strive to be faithful and true,
And some day, ere long he will call
us,
To be forever, and ever with you.
Mr.. and Mrs. III. c. Newton.
