Public
By L. G.. MARTIN
United Press Staff Correspondent


WITH PRESIDENT HARDING
BUTTE, Mont, June 29.-Lookine
over the business situation today
" from the pinacle of our present
prosperitv,'' President Harding
sees much to be cheerful about and
nothing to cause worry, he told an
audience here today in speech on
Cuisines and the Government
The speech was devoted entirely
to a review of ihe efforts of the
government, capital, labor and the
whole American people to get the
country back on its feet in a busi-
ness sense following the war.
81 wish to pay tribute to The
business men of America, to labor
both organized and unorganized
and to my associates in the admin
istration,' said Mr.. Harding. 81
was the fine cooperation of bust
ness men and labor, assisted by the
agencies of government that made
possible this rehabilitation of bust.

Common Effort Responsible
e'There was common effort, :
the President said, (which proved
to be one of the finest demonstra-
tions of applied altruism and intel
ligent unselfishness that has ever
been accomplished on. like scale. -
There was, he said, national
mobilization to meet the problems
of peace and it was "no less an
accomplishment than the great co
operation to win the, war. -
He contrasted the American me-
thod with the procedure of other
nations.
"Some of them he said, con
cluded that civilization was ali
ready a derelict and proceeded to
scrap its institutions and substitute
new and strange experiments. We
have little occasion to regret that
our country disappointed those who
wished us to engage in similar BIZ
zarre programs. If our procedures
have been Plain old fashioned, they
have yet produced the results that
Justify pride and require no apoio-
gies.
-, Our Way the Best
/ am disposed freely to admit
that some other folks have had
more excitement, but a good many
people would be glad to exchange
their stock of excitement for a
modest share in our American
plan of simple contentment and
dinner table necessaries.
Mr.. Harding secuted the fear h,
said some people entertained that
"under stresses of these postwar
years our democratic institutions
might prove inadequate. Permit
me to say that 4 never felt more
cheerful about that particular mat
ter than right now. My confidence
is based ON the things L have been
learning of the capacity of this
community to take care of itself.

WITH PRESIDENT HARDING
ENROUTE TO BUTTE, Mont,
June 29.-Efforts to get President
Harding to lend his active support
to the fight on Senator Borah fell
through when the president turned
down the pleas of Idaho politicians
that he rebuFe Borah Willie speak.
ing in Idaho.
Borah today is fighting the en-
tire republican organization Of his
state for his political life. One
group of party organization leaders
is so embittered against him that
its members want to throw him out
of the nominating convention, re-
fuse to seat Borah delegates and re-
pudiate him in the most ruthless
manner.
Another, group quite as hostile
but afraid of third party move
ment, will try to t.eat .,orah for
the senatorial nomaation without
giving him a chance for 4 come
back.
Would Run as Independent
Borah's friends would not be sor-
ry to see him excluded from the con
vention. The plain fact is tha.
thcy-and Borah shares their feel
ing to degree-would just rs soon
h ran as an independent.
The only thing that detcrs the
party leaders from reading Borah
out of the party right now is the
ominous shadow of an independents
movement that might, they fear,
cost the party the state in the 1924
campaign. 1t would take very lit
tie to crystalizc third party sen1i.
ment, not only in Idaho, but
throughout the west, competent pc,
litical observers in this section say.
Thus, more than Idaho is involved.
The whole western country that
holds the balance of power now
more securely than ever, might be
swung if Idaho politicians went
through with their plan to cast
Borah out.
Must Use Strategy
National party headquarters in
Washington have been keeping a
close watch on the situation and it
is likely that strategy employed in
the nominating convention will be
directed from Washington.
President Harding would not even
let the Idaho politicians talk to him
about it when they tried to enlist
his aid. Mr.. Harding has already
made il plain that he wants no
schemes in the party. Besides that
he is now counting on Borah s help
eventually in getting the world court
proposal through the senate. Mr..
Harding understands how potent
the assistance can be.

TONIGHT s The
NIGHT WHEN ALL
EAT WATERMELON
Full Moon, One Speech
Only Add to
Prospects

\ All roads lead tonight to City
Park and the Chamber of Commerce
watermelon fest. The entertainment
committee has the cutting tables
and chutes in position and the only
detail left is to drag the melons
from the ice plant to the chutes,
thence to the tables, where they
will be sliced up and distributed.
After wrestling with the problem
of keeping cool all days s going
to be lots of fun and comfort to
sink one's face into a big slice of
klondyke melon, just as cold as
the name of the variety indicates.
While it has been stated that one
can BRING forks along Cor knives
if one prefers those Instruments
without losing caste, the real, dyed
inthewool valleyite ism going to
need any instruments other than
those provided by nature.
Coming from Everywhere
The committee wishes it under
stood that there is no limit to at
tendance, and everyone will be sure
of welcome and plenty of water
melon. with a wonderful moon on
the job tonight, big delegations are
looked for from the other valley eli
ties, and even from Coachella Vai-
ley and Yuma.
Speech making will be limited to
a short address of welcome, about
Is words, and thereafter, speeches
will be reduced to requests for more
melon. Secretary Coyle has re-
ceived supply of young broad
swords, which will used to quarter
the melons. No stingy slices about
this party. Those who can manage
two, three or four quarters, can get
them by asking for them. If any
one can go beyond four quarters,
the cutters will supply them, but
the results cannot be charged
against the chambe rcommittee.
If there is anyone in FL Centre
tomorrow, who has not had suf-
ficiency of watermelon for day
or two at least, it will be his own
fault, and on the other hand, if
there are any who are suffering from
too much melon, that, too, will be
their own fault.

Ten Thousand Club Was Formed
~ Just Fifteen Years Ago Today

Fifteen years ago tonight Ell Cen
tro's Ten Thousand CLUB was or
ganized at a dinner at the Palm
Roof Garden. The Press file for
1908 contains much of interest, but
little that is more interesting than
the beginning of this well-known
organization. Thirty business men
of the city signed the constitution
and pledged themselves" to do all
thipns legitimate toward bringing
ND the population of III Centre to
10000 According TO statement
made at that time, women were
eligible for membership on an
equal footing with the men.
However, this idea was-never car.
ricd out, according to Mrs. Violette
s. Campbell, who was one of the
charter members of the Woman's
Auxiliary of the Ten Thousand Club
when it was organized on October
30 of the same wear. After less
than wear of functioning, the
original Ten Thousand Club dis
banded. and left their name to be
borne by the Woman's Auxiliary,
which has carried it forward ever
since with flying colors.
Carter and Fuller Here
But to return 70 the interesting
account of the meeting of ID years
ago: Allen Kelley, at that time edi
tos-Of the Press, acted as temporary
and introduced DR.. r. p.
Shepherd as the principal speaker
of the evening. DR.. Shepherd spoke
of the potent influence in American
public affairs of voluntary organi-
cations and their function as stm-
ulants of public spirit. City Trus-
tee Pellet, George A. Carter, and u.
B. Fuller We're amog the other
speakers.
A board of directors consisting of
George A. Carter, II. b. Pearson,

ficers were elected by the board of
directors as follows: president, Allen
Kelly; vice president, DR.. Shepherd;
treasurer, George A. Carter, see

Appropriate club buttons were
decided upon, and these emblems
later became the treasured property
of the charter members of the wo-
mans organization.

Flight
THROWN Is FEET
Nv United Press Leased Wire

SAN DIEGO, June 2S.-Captain'
Lowell II. Smith and Lieut.. Richter
in the endurance flight plano mar
rowly escaped death at 4:40 this
morning when their plane, after
re-fueling, turned completely over,
throwing both occupants into the
mud and water. They were not
hurt.
The daring aviators had been in
the air just "a hours when the
crash came They had battled a
heavy fog during most of the night
and had re-fueled just after day
break. Af least two world speed re-
cords had been broken when the
crash came that ended the proposed
fouriday flight. The gasoline hose
had iust been removed -fFoln the
auxiliary tank after refueling,
when the carburetor baked. The
big ship was dashing through n
dense fog at a ter pace. Smith
and Richter .weft confronted with
making forced hnding or risking
q serious fall. tS
They nosed do h toward North
Island and attenih ed to make dry
land but failed. Il
The DeHaviland plnged into the
deep mud, the tide being out,
pancaked and nosed' over,
throwing both fliers clear of the
wreck.
Twenty five minutes later both
were at home at bachelor head
quarters on North Island and iii
bed.
Plane Badly Damaged
The plane was seriously damaged,
the propeller being shattered and
one wing badly crumpled. 1t still
lay on the mud banks early today
At the time of the crash the avi-
ators had broken the 2500 kilo-
meter speed record held by Lieu
tenants Kelly and MacreadY and
the timers believed they had also
shattered the 5000 kilometer rt
cord.
The 24-hour flight of Smith and
Richter was one of the most spec
tacuar in the. history of aviation
here where aviation stunts are
daily affairs.
Thousands watched the re-fueling
of the plane over the city and bay,
the ships being Mt such a low aiti-
tude that the re-fueling hose was
plainly visible from the ground. A
full moon during the early part of
the night enabled the spectators to
follow the course of the plane which
hummed over the mc~nlit harbcr
while pleasure seekers boated and
danced at the resorts around the
bay.

Frank Crispin, Master of the
Grange, was toastmaster; Mrs. Tocie
Bromell, secretary, read the list of
charter members. Walter Pancoast
responded as the only charter mem
Der living. He gave an interesting
account of its organization and the
work it did. There are few grangers
in the State order and very few have
continued to keep together that long.
Maxwell Buzby, past master said
he had helped to organize three other
oranges in the county and the social
as we'll as the cooperation among the
farmers in the grange had been very
beneficial to all. He paid a tribute
to the late Mahlon Dickinson, who was
a faithful member for many years
and held a State office for years.
John c. Crissey, County Farm Dem

coined and given cooperation by the
members of the grange.

ALL STARS TIE OPERATORS

The Operating nine, which the mght
before had won the championship series
played Saturday a team of league All
Stars as close and as finely played
gane as could be wished for, for it was
@iven in benefit Of the family of Otto
J. BarkduI, who had lost his life by
sudden accident while at work earlier
in the week. The game was called at
the end of the sixth inning when the
score was tie by / to 1 and the goodlY
number of spectators left with the
satisfaction that a great game had
been ployed.
1t was pitchers battle and Ed
Tracy for the Operating, had to
spit considerable to cover his ball with
enough fabrication to hold his own
against Emil Altwegg. The All Stars
gave Emil perfect support and allow
ed only four to reach first. Two got
no further but fortunately the other
two worked together so well that the
run came across in the second. In
this inning with two out Bert Brown
singled to centerfield and stole second.
He was followedby Merritt Mckee hit
ting to the same spot so that he scored
on it.
The All Stars did no better at bat
than the Operators but as for getting
around the bases they were q bit more
clever. Even at that it took some
extra clever work to put across the
tally in the fifth, when Johnny
Charsha was on third and Bill Coslett,
on first and Bill started the double
steal. He, also, finished it, for he not
only got Johnny home but landed on
second himself.
1t was the two third basemen that
pulled the thrills in fielding work
George Dolbow made one, but Joe
Patterson made two. George robbed
Tice of a hit by getting the groundeI
along the foul line in left field and
then making a perfect throw to Lefty
Fngle just in time for the put out.
Joe made a speedy grab of Georges
rrounder in the third in time to throw
him out In the fourth Joe made 9
LIGHTNING recovery after he fumbIec
Browns hot grounder and then pu'
the ball across to Tice like bullet.
It was there in time.
Tice was on the receiving end for :
record number of thirteen put outs II
six innings and he missed nothing
for he picked up three grounders tol
nut outs and caught two foul flies
that he had to run hard for.
