Harding Finds Himself Being Opposed by Some of Own Party Advisers, Yet Re- ceiving Backing of
 Labor

WASHINGTON, March S1.-While President Harding Is being pressed by his own advisers to drop his inter- Rational court proposal, he has found : unexpected support from organized : labor. Being strict believer in party government. the President must be somewhat astonished to find himself ! opposed by his own advisers and backed by labor, which has been classed largely as demoeratic because of the influence of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor.
 The court issue may yet prove to he boon to the administration by lining up friends of closer interna- tional cooperation who are numer- ous in the ranks of labor. Close friends of Harding have feared that his advocacy of the court issue would : alienate Hiram Johnson and his fol- lowing. They have advised him to

BLAMESQU|ET TNESS IF HARDING 'SH0ME F0R HER RASH ACT
Woman Attempting Suicide Couldn't Stand It Away
 From Noisy New York

NEW YORK, March 90. = Maria Barnes told the policeman bouncing on the tail-step of the ambulance that it was nervousness which caused her to take iodine and try to go over'the rail of Staten Island ferry boat into New York bay on Good Friday.
 But her mother says it was the sud- den change from the hustle and elat- ter of her native New York to the leisure and quiet or President Hard ings home town of Marion, o. That terrible quiet! It dinned in her ears from dawn till dark and kept her awake at night. A few blocks of life endurable for q girl whose whole life was attuned to the sudden risks of street traffic and the 24-hour hulabaloo of New York. But from the moment she got off the train, Maria was in torment in Marion. Everything was so quiet.
 Romance Responsible.
 The mother Is Mrs. Johanna AL brecht She said that Maria, who is in her early twenties, met a sol- der named Henry sBarnes one day at the aquarium down by the Bat tery where tugboats go whooping by and big liners bleat through the mist and the elevated lines converge and the street traffic lines up for the ferries in a beautiful symphony of noise. Barnes was discharged soon afterward and Mrs. Albrecht saw to it that there was a proper marriage at her home with every thing regular and respectable. Barnes took his bride to a little Ntown in Ohio, called Waldo. This was against Mrs. Albrecht's advice, for she fore saw that Maria, one of her nine children would not be happy out of ear shot of New York and told Henry so. She says no bo need go way out west to Ohio and those places, because if he can't make living in New York, goodness knows he can't get along anywhere. But she says Henry was thick headed" and of course she told Maria it was her duty to go wherever her man went So Maria went.
 Maria and her man soon moved on to Marion. She was writing pitt fu1 letters to her mother, about the awful strain of living amid the quiet in a 10-o'clock town. They were little girl letters. She couldn't quite realize her obligation to stay by her husband as Mamma Albrecht re- minded her.
 Finally, a short time ago, Maria bolted Marion. She thrilled again to the sound of the l. and the sub ways and the street music of rush

MEN BIG AND SMALL HAVE ATTAINED FAMEI IN BRITISH HISTORY
No Common Rule Found for Size to Insure
 Success

LONDON, March 31.-"A judge sit ting in London county court pom tificaliy remarked: Most great men were of small stature He himself does not err on the side of inches. but that, of course did rot affest his opinion,' writes Arthur David In The London Daily Express.
 How far in point of fact is this sweeping statement justifiab1ez There have been. naturally, num- Der of men and women who have combined mental greatness with phy sical smallness. Names that leap instantly to tho mind are Nelson, Ma poleon, Lord Roberts and Queen Vie toria. Among living members of this class cue may include MT. Lloyd George. Sir J. M. Barrie and Thomas Hardy.
 But 1t does not need much thought to find opposite numbers for all O. have been, or who are. great in body as in mind.
 "The Duke of Wellington was no pigmy; Bismarck was a towering, sduare-built giant: Lord Kitchener martial figure made him the living embodiment of military hero 70 every lad who ever saw him; Cath crime of Russia Is said to have had the carriage and physique of an i'm perial guardsmen."

 The significance is this: The aver age height of the individual in Great Britain is well under five feet ten inches. Only about 10 per cent or men and women in this country reach six feet.
 When, therefore, one calculates the number of eminent people who are tall, one ss amazed at the percentage in comparison with the small propor- tion of the population which they constitute."

 Gompers For Proposal.
 Those who believe Harding must have the progressive vote and a good ly share of the labor vote to win next year are warning him not to be stam- peded by the irreconcilables.
 Samuel Gompers devotes two and one-half pages of the current Feder- ationist, the official organ of the American Federation of Labor, to an editorial indorsing Harding's pro- posal.
 Tt is not contended by any author itative spokesman that the court stands as the portal to an immedi- ately warless worold," Gompers says. "It is one more instrument for the building of the sentiment for peace and the processes of peace, and for the overthrow and destruction of the ways of force. The court may help but little, but the point is it will help a little.
 America does want to join in every rational effort to promote peace with justice The court of international justice is a step forward-not long step, but at least step

 Criticixes Johnson.
 Gompers assails Hiram Johnson for criticizing the court because it pos of it's members.
 If submission to the court was compulsory, the California senator argument as he now seizes upon the lack of compulsion," the labor chief declares.
 Much better by far to do our full national duty and enter the League<f Nations as full partner in its efforts, but better than churlish aloofness, let us begin the effort where and as we may. trusting to closer acquaintance and the beginnings of co-operation to lead us on to greater spheres and fuller service"
 Such inducements as this may give Harding courage to ignore his pessi- mistic advisers and fight for the court plan from the stump on his western tour during the summer. 1t is a ques- tion which he can raise above a par tisan level, by citing such remarks as these of Gompers.

 The mansion was sequestrated by the government during the war, at the outbreak of which it was the seat of the Austrian embassy. Amer ican Ambassador Herrick recently had his eye on 1t as being the most eligible places for the new home of the American embassy under the congressional appropriation for that purpose, but found it out of the question since the mansion Is valued by the French government at 20,000, 900 francs, and at the present~rate of~exchange the American appropria- tion would yield only about one- quarter of that sum.
 The mansion has a beautiful lawn and garden attached, and is regarded as one of the finest properties in the city. The government has finally decided to restore it's interior, which is somewhat worn and faded, and keep 1t as place in which to en- tertain visiting heads of states.

WONDER SEEDS OFFERED
AT EXORBITANT PRICES

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Beware the eatravagant claims as to
wonder seeds. Such claims are usual
ly accompanied by equally extravag
ant prices. Ii seeds are so rare rs
not to be on the general market,
they are also so rare AS not to be
in the hands Of peddlers, itinerant
merchants and others doing business
thru lurid advertising.
The lawn is very important part
of every home; its aesthetic value
can hardly be overcstimated. The
number of pounds of seeds required
for the average lawn is small and for
that reason a home owner is willing
to pay a high price per pound, to Sc
cure seeds that will produce a lawn
of unusual beauty.
mean Kentucky bluegrass. is the
standard of beauty in the minds of
most of US, and SO it is customary
for any one attempting to introduce
something for fine lawns to call l.
bluegrass with qualifying adjective.
So 1t has happened in times past that
Swedish Bluegrass at one dollar per
pound, was guaranteed to make "a
beauuful green lawn IN TWO weeks
time" Such Swedish Bluegrass"
really proved to be only timothy, the
market price of which proved to be
at six cents per pound.
And so it happens that now there
is being advertised "Festuca Elatior-
The Worlds Greatest Lawn Grass
A Bluegrass, guaranteed to make a
lawn anywhere in thirty days" The
price asked is SIPS per pound. Fes-
tuca Elatior is some times called Eng
lish Bluegrass, it is usually called
meadow fescue and is good pasture
grass because it comes on early in
the spring and remains late in the
fall. 1t does not propagate by root
stocks nor form very heavy sod; it
is somewhat bunchy, tho not as con-
| spiciously so as orchard grass
1t may have some value as lawn
grass, because it will stay green under
somewhat more trying circumstances
than Kentucky bluegrass. But if you
decide to buy it, pay a proper price

LATE MATURITY IN HENS
AN INHERITED QUALITY

Agricultural College News-Notes:-
Notice how many of your pullets
are not laying yet? A laying hen
has bright, waxy comb and a large
moist vent. Now is the period Of
high priced eggs. Are these pullets
not laying because they were hatched
too late, or because they were not
properly reared and cared for?
There is another reason for some
of them. We know now that late
maturity is inherited. One pullet will
mature in six months or less. while
another eats expensive feed for three
months more before she begins to pay
for il. Then she passes this character
on to her daughters.
Slip a leg band onto that late
maturer and don't breed her next year.
