Presidents Study Has
Atmosphere Of Den"

Washington, Jan. 25.-President
Hardine's real work shop-the
private study on the second floor
Of the White House where the
chief executive spends much time
in the evenings-has an atmos-
phere reminiscent of the den
o. an old colonial home.
Standing at the window and
looking out over the White House
grounds to The Potomac, a visitor
can easily imagine himself in
one of the old mansions still to
be found in old Virginia. The
room is spacious, with high cell
ings. but its size is minimized by
the varied furnishings, which in
'clude numerous trophies sent from
all parts Of the country.
The presidents desk sits we'll
to the rear Of the room. 1t has
plenty Of space for papers and
ready reference books thet might
be necessary in the preparation
of state messages and papers.
IN box on the desk is ample
evidence that the editor presid-
enl has never lost his love 20.
the pipe. There are some 20 odd
pipes, some freakshaped but the
zones of the conventional type
show the most use.
Lining the walls of the study
are bookcases, filled with all man
ner OF books, some old, some
new, but largely devoted to con
stitutional law.
But the visitors eye wanders
from the books themselves to the
top Of the bookcases. There are
to be found trophies and curios
of an astonishing variety-sta-
tuettes, freak golf clubs, loving
cups, cowboy hats and a multi
plicity Of other articles.
In one corner of the room, to
the left, as you enter the door,
stands huge globe. You have
seen the like in many an old
room. 1t has stood there for many
a year and the fingers of many
presidents, now crumbled to dust,
have traced on its surface the
movements of armies and navies,
the passing of empires and the
creation Of new republics.
In another corner is a radio
set, which can be tuned TO
receive messages from any part
of the country. Here, in an easy
chair, Mrs. Harding recently heard
her husband deliver his annual
message TO congress.

Styles Of Coats To
Be Worn Through 1923

New York, Jan. %. Reduction
sales of furs are extending
throughout the country just now
ard every woman is wondering
what the styles of next year WI!
be before buying.
Whenever there are great reduc.
itions on furs, we know that TIE
furriers have distinct style chan
ges up their sleeves.
This seasons coats and capes
have been rather volminous, fall
ing in full lines from shoulder to
hem. The present French styles
however, are far more slender in
silhouette than ours, and we vii.
undoubtedly be following their
lines next season.
Already importers are showing
advance models basted upon
French imports with long slende.
lines. 1t is presumed that the
long skirt vogue will continue
throughout the coming year, hence
advance models all concentrate on
the 1-inch length, with a decided
tendency toward the narrow ankle
line. In some cases the narrow
ankle line is so scant that inside
straps and under lacings are pro-
videi to make walking more COM
Portable.
Goats and dolmans are gaining
over the cape for daytime wear.
The cape with the side Sits for
the arms will probably remain
staple for. evening wear. = T..
Collars for 1929 will be smaller
especially on the extremely smart
models where they are of the chin
or turn back variety.

many of the latest models and are

to keep the sun from scorching.
Those cool breezes also blow in the
winter. 1t is only common for them
to force the thermometer down TO

The people of Oakley have some
wonderful talented men and women
and if they will just keep the rust
worn off those talents, they will
double and double and thus give
Oakley worldwide name.
The mines, the oil wells, the arte-
sian water, the wonderful farm
lands and all those rich blessings
are bound to make large city out
of Oakley. Readers, what we must
do is Boost-Boost by Advertising
Advertise in our home paper. The
better we make our paper, the lar
ger the circulation, and the larger
the circulation the farther our ads
will reach; and if the ads extend
far enough they will help to make
our town grow. True, it's a long
way around, but we cannot build an
air castle by starting with the tower.
We must go from the ground up.
