Sketch of President
Warren g. Harding's Life

Classed, when In the senate, as Il
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-
welt, had great coal miners strike on
his hands, and labored hard and with
measure Of success to bring 1t to a
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 ESty.
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.

the conference relating To principles
and policies to be followed in matters
concerning China.
A treaty between the nine powers
relating to Chinese customs tariff. Be
cause France refused to consider the
limitation of land armament at the
present time, that part of the confer
ence fell through. But what 1t did
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 1t

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
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 1t would split his party, and
boldly continued to advocate 1t. Not
withstanding this, it was assumed to

be almost a certainty that President
Harding would be renominated in the
Republican national convention Of
1924.
Mr.. Hardlng's home life was ideal
save that he had no children. He and
Mrs. Harding, who was Miss Florence
Killing Of Marion, wen 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-callee

League Will Reduce Armaments

Paris.-The temporary mixed com
mission for the reduction of arma-
ments of the League of Nations adopt
ed the text of the proposed treaty Of
mutual guarantees designed to bring
about reduction of armaments which
it will submit to the assembly of the
league in September. The text, as it
will be submitted, provides for gen
eral treaty to be signed by all the
members of the league whereby they
agree to aid members who are victims
of aggression or threatened invasion.
The Colorado statesman., 1923-08-11

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 practlcing 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 nelghbors' barns and helping
on the grading Of the roadbed of the
T. & o. G. railroad. He also played In
college paper.
When he graduated from the col
lege, Warren went to work In the vii
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 pocket piece the printers
rule he used In those days.
The Star was his idol and he was
very proud of it and of the more than
friendly relations that existed be-
tween him and his employees. There
was never a strike on the paper. and
The Colorado statesman., 1923-08-11

about t.~4I ye...s ago he instituted
a profit-sharing 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 a town
of 1000 to a city of more than 10000.
He was a director in bank and in
several manufacturing companies, and
was a trustee of Trinity Baptist
church.
His Rise in Politics.
AS editor and publisher of 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
Coliseum, and Mr.. Harding was nomi-
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 he received 404 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.

BISHOP HUGHES IN
PLEA FOR IMMIGRANT
Says Christian People Must Not
Regard Foreigners as
Interiors

LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. c.,
Aug. 10.-In a stirring plea on be
half of the immigrants who find
themselves drawn to American
shores, Bishop Edwin Hughes de-
clared here in a recent address be-
fore the school of Missions of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
that Christian people must rid
themselves of the spirit of condo
scensions and must not regard for
eigners as interiors simply because
they do not speak our language.
His addresse on THE Foreigner"
dealt largely with the Christian at
titude that should be taken toward
the people who come to US from
other lands.
"When we go to his land" said
Bishop Hughes, eve are usually il
! iterates so far as his speech is CON
cerned. Whenever we travel
abroad we learn that the Golden
Rule has its meaning for our diff
fering languages"
The Bishop declared that al
though foreigner is a foreigner
so far as native land is concerned
he is not foreigner to humanity
Gle has all of our instincts OF
love, loyalty, of parenthood. Otter
his coming to America is to dc
we'll for his own. Sometimes tht
arrival of his wife and children
represents several years of hare
work and close saving"
Bishop Hughes pointed out ina
we, as Americans, owe a great his
torical debt to members Of foreign
races for what they have contrib
uted to the world. As examples
he mention Couernicus, Corner
, ious, Sobieski, Kosciugki Pulaski o
: the Slavic race and Volta, Galvani
: Marconi Columbus, Garabaldi
Angelo, the Cabots and Dante o
, Italy
: "Yet the debt is deeper than in
stinct or history he continued. q
is redemption too. By His incar
nation Christ created kinship. 3

that has blessed US all. Eut, Be
You'd this, He Identifies Himsel
with the foreigners. One of tn
tests by which we shall at last b
judged is this: what did we d
with the stranger? Did we take hi
-in in the name Of Christ?
Bishop Hughes asserted that on
= way we as Americans may max
ourselves foreigners to the King
dom of God is to fail to give Chris
tian sympathy to the foreigners i
our own land.

CITY MARKETS WANT
MORE FANCY EGGS
Dealer Tells Farmers How to
Break Into This Market for
Big Profits

ATLANTA, Aug. 10-There's an
unlimited market at a big premium
for fancy eggs and no likelihood
of the market being glutted in the
opinion of Atlanta produce men.
One of these discussed the posi-
bilities of securing eggs from south
Georgia here today.
''The first important move" he
said sis to get the eggs from the
nest as soon as possible. The far
mers who supply the best eggs
gather their eggs three times day
and especially not later than nine
O'Clock in the morning in the sum.
mer time. They take any eggs
that may be under the laying hens,
for several hens will lay in the
same nest and the eggs may re-
main under these hens several
hours. They have been kept most
of that time at the best tempera-
ture for bacterial growth and three
hours of such treatment will cause
an egg to be such that it can not
BE sold as fancy quality egg.
, Another cause for deterioration
is fertility. Thousands of dollars
worth of fertile eggs are unfit fol
food because the embryo has
started to grow, possibly only very
slightly, and then due to lowered
temperature, dies. 1t is important
to get rid of the ROSTERS when the
Matching season is over.
The farmers we buy from are
required to place their eggs in the
cellar as soon as gathered. These
cellars should be 60 F or less.
A cellar that is not damp can be
well sprinkled with water, but this
dampness must be continued as i
will evaporate rapidly, especially i
the cellar has a wood floor. A dir
floor is better The egg containel
must not get wet and there mus
be no bad Odors.
We pay the local price plus the
premium or difference Of the high
er markets, reaching a premium
during the summer of ten cents ;
dozen, and soetimes as high a
twelve cents a dozen.
If we find farmers that persi'
tently neglect the care of the
eggs, we. do not buy from then

ORIGIN OF GYPsIES STILL A PUZZLE
BY Many, the Familiar Wanderers Are
Believed to Have Originally
Come From India.

The word gypsy is a contraction of
Egyptian. When the nomads appeared
in the British isles, many centuries
ago, their leaders called themselves
''earls" folk. Only about 100000 in
number, the Balkan states and south
Russia have most of them, but there
are many in Egypt and among the
Moors on the coasts of North Africa.
Who are they? To that question
historians, anthropologists and just
plain, curious people have tried to find
an answer without success. Many be-
lieve that they are descendants of the
lost ten tribes of Israel: still others
think they are the children of Ham con-
demned to perpetual wanderings. They
have been considered Spaniards, AS
syrians and Egyptians. though they
are different in body and mind from
all of these.
The opinion generally held is that
they are Hindus. They have the dark
complexion, the same thin lips,
straight and proportionate nose, bril-
liant eyes nd white teeth of the Hin
dus. Their language, such of it that
is not gypsy adaptation of the Ian
guage of the people they live among
