This Pennsylvania situation bids
fair TO be a really serious obstacle
in the way of a harmonious re-
nomination for Harding. If the Con-
gressional delegation. controlling
as they do in most cases the local

Good friends, whose magic fills me
With tales of every kind.
Whose cheer or pathOs thrills me-
And stimulates my mind;
Who lead me in my roaming
To lands beyond my ken,
Then bring me bhthely hOming

Keen friends, who make life SAVIOR
OF wonder and romance,
Who make my spirit Drawer
Amid the thrall of chance,
Who yarn of sword and saber,
Broad seas, great skies above.

And love;
True friends, when days are sunny
Or dark as they can be,
Who do not borrow money
Or drag me out to tea;
Wise friends, who grid and arm me
Against fate's hooks and crooks.
