a profit-shaFing plan whereby the en-
ployees received dividends that were
paid them in the form of stock in the
paper. Mr.. Harding was identified
also with the industries that sprang
up in Marion as it grew from town
of 1000 to city Of more than 10000.
He was a director in a bank and in
several manufacturing companies, and
was trustee of Trinity Baptist
church.
His Rise in Politics.
AS editor and publisher of a lively
Republican paper it was inevitable
that Mr.. Harding should take an. ac-
tive interest in politics, and his attain
ments brought him to the front in the
state. He was a member of the Ohio
senate from 1900 to 1904, and then
served as lieutenant governor of the
state. In 1910 he was the Republican
nominee for governor, but was defeat
ed. In 1915 he was sent to the United
States senate, serving until 1920, when
he resigned TO make the campaign for
the presidency. In the preconvention
campaign that year he had been
looked on as one Of the possible nomi-
nees for the high office, but his defeat
in the primaries for election Of dele.
gates from Ohio seemed to spoil his
chances. However, the conservative
leaders of the Republican party pre-
vailed in the gathering in the Chicago
[1Is
mated. His campaign was based large
ly on opposition to American partici-
patton in the League Of Nations, and
was so successful that in the election
of November 1 he received 4O4 cleo
toral votes to 127 for James NJ. Cox,
the Democratic nominee. He was in
augurated March 4, 1921, with a de-
gree of simplicity in the ceremonies
that pleased the American people.

satisfied feeling of good dish ready
for the next days meal.
The recipe may be stretched or cut
down, depending upon the size of the
family to be served. 1t is a basis for
any number of fiavors and combina-
tons, making each dessert quite diff
ferent.
Take one-half pound of sweet fresh
butter, soften it to cream with a
wooden spoon. When creamy add grad
ually one cupful of confectioner's
sugar a little at a time until all is
added. When thoroughly blended add
the yolks of six eggs one at time,
beating the mixture well after each
addition. Now add the desired flavor
ing and fold in the stiffly beaten egg
whites. The mixture is now ready for
the mOlds. Cover the bottom of a mold
or line it with lady fingers and fill
with the cream mixture. Set away In
the ice chest for "a hours when 1t will
be ready to serve.
A brick mold or bread pan may
be used. Put slice of sponge cake
half an inch thick in the bottom, then
cover with a layer of the cream and
another layer of cake, finish with
either cake or cream and set away to
mold.
Bitter chocolate melted over water
may be stirred into the cream for
flavor; or caramel or maple may be
used grated macaroons or drained
and chopped fruit. A cupful of grated
pineapple drained Of it's juice makes
delicious flavor. Mashed banana,
adding one-third Of a cupful to the
dessert and few maraschino cherries,
which add color as well as flavor,
makes another variety. All of these
may be garnished with little whipped
cream piped around the mold. The
cream is unsweetened.

cause France refused to consider the
Limitation Of land armament at the
present time, that part of the confer

achieve was considered a great step
toward the attainment of world peace.
The treaties were soon ratified by the
United States senate and the British
parliament, and the other nations fol-
lowed suit, though for long time it
was feared France would not accept
the pacts. However, President Hard
ing lived to see them ratified by the
French chamber and senate.
Favored Entering World Court.
Mr.. Harding had not been long In
the White House before it appeared
that he did not favor entire isolation
of the United States from European
affairs, but believed this country
would have to do its part in the res
toration Of Europe to peace and sta
bility. This feeling became more evil
dent early in 1923 when he proposed
that America should accept member
ship in the International Court of JUS
tice which had been founded under
the auspices Of the League of Nations.
The President was as insistent as ever
that this country should keep out of
the league. but believed the court was
or would be independent of the greater
organization. Against the advice of
some leaders Of his party, he reiterated
this advice on several occasions, and
his plan formed the subject of some
Of his addresses on his last and fatal
trip through the West. He did not
think it would split his party, and
boldly continued to advocate it. Not

Sketch OF President
Warren 6. Harding Life

Warren GamalieI Harding, twenty
ninth president of the United States,
was born November 2, 1865, on his
grandfather's farm just outside the
village Of Blooming Grove, in Morrow
county, Ohio. He was descended from
two pioneer American families, hardy
Holland Dutch on the one side and lib
erty-loving Scotch on the other. His
father, Dr. George t. Harding is still
a practicing physician in Marion,
o., despite his advanced age of seven
ty-nine years. His mother was Phoebe
Elizabeth Dickerson Harding.
Mr.. Harding was a self-made man In
the best sense of the phrase. He
worked on his grandfather's farm and
attended the village school until he
was fourteen years old, and then he
entered the Ohio Central college at
Iberia. He worked his way through
that institution by cutting corn, paint
ing his neighborS' barns and helping
on the grading of the roadbed of the
T. & o. c. railroad. He also played in
the village band and was editor of the
college paper.
When he graduated from the col
lege, Warren went to work in the viii
lage printing Office. AT the time he
was nineteen years old, his father
moved TO Marion with the family and
there aided Warren financially in gain
ing control of the Marion Star, of
which he was publisher until after he
assumtd the office of president of the
United States. Already he knew how
to set type and to do all the other
duties Of printer, and when the limo
type was introduced he learned to op-
crate that machine. Always he car
ried as a pocket piece the printers
rule he used In those days.
The Star was his idol and he was
very proud Of 1t and of the more than
friendly relations that existed be-
tween him and his employees. There
was never strike on the paper. and

Classed, when in the senate, as a
conservative, President Harding did
not depart markedly from conserva-
tive lines when in the White House,
though his supporters always said he
was as progressive as the good of the
country warranted and as conditions
permitted. He, like President Roose-
veit, had great coal miners strike on
his hands, and labored hard and with
a measure of success to bring it to
peaceful and just end.
Arms Limitation Conference.
The outstanding accomplishment of
his administration was the great inter-
national conference for the limitation
of armament held In Washington, open
ing on Armistice day, November IL,
1921. AT his instigation the confer
ence was authorized by congress and
after feeling out the big powers and
finding them agreeable he issued invi-
tations to Great Britain, France, Bel
GUM, Italy, Japan, China, the Meth
erlands and Portugal. Each country
sent some Of its most eminent states
men as delegates, those of the United
States being Secretary of State
Hughes, chairman of the conference;
Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and
Underwood of Alabama, and ex-Secre-
tary of State Elihu Root.
The conference adjourned February
6, 1922, after negotiating these
treaties:
A covenant of limitation to naval
armament between the United States,
Great Britain, France, Japan and Italy.
A treaty between the same powers
as to the use of submarines and nox-
ious gases in warfare.
A treaty between the United States
Great Britain, France and Japan re-
lating to their insular possessions and
their insular dominions In the Pacific,
with declaration reserving American
rights in inundated territory.

traders in Europe and Gustavus Adolf
plus persuaded a number of Amster-
dam merchants to settle in Gothen-
burg, where they were given special
privileges. So much, indeed, was the
Dutch element in the population es-
teemed that 1t was ordered that the
records of the city should be kept in
two languages, Swedish and Dutch.

combination of both or an electric
stove. However, the main thing in its
selection is the model convenient to
work at, appropriate to the means
and size of the household.
Labor saving devices are a great
convenience and the rule should be to
give preference TO that which is
oftenest used and most necessary, like
a washing machine, rather than a
cherry pitter which is used but
short season of the year. The wash
ing machine saves bodily energy,
which is another important factor.
The question of space must be con-
and expense needed to operate them.
The housekeeper who saves herself,
avoids bric-a-brac, carved furniture,
polished surfaces which need frequent
rubbing and elaborate linen which re-
quires labor and skill to launder.
Another element of choice in equip
ment is that of beauty. A thing may
be useful and beautiful. Since we
must have dishes to eat from, why not
have them as beautiful as possible?
One may buy very cheap china which
Is artistic In color and design. Good
looking ones are not necessarily ex-
pensive.
To glaze pastry beat an egg yolk un.
til light, add little milk and brush
the meat pie or pastry when ii Is
nearly done. Return to the oven and
let 1t brown lightly.
1t Is true we are not all gifted with
good taste in choosing household
equipment. We may have a good deal
of taste, and have it all bad but study,
observation and common sense will
help one In choosing.
The utensils used in the kitchen
should be light easily cared for and
conveniently placed. The kitchen sink
and table, stove and cupboards should
be so arranged to save the steps Of
the housekeeper. A poorly arranged
kitchen will add miles of walking in
the preparation and clearing away Of
meals. Such details should be care
fully considered. Many homes could
be much improved by giving the ar
rangement a little thought.

be almost a certainty that President
Harding would be renominated in the
Republican national convention Of
1924.
Mr.. Harding's home life was ideal
save that he had no children. He and
Mrs. Harding, who was Miss Florence
Killing of Marion, were devoted to each
other and she was always his true
helpmate, both in Ohio and in Wash
ington. In the national capital Mrs.
Harding quickly made herself loved
by all with whom she came in contact,
and during the Western trip she was
more eager even than the President
to meet and mix with all kinds of
people.

originally planned for the summer of
1922. He inherited the so-called
