The Un-Grand
Administration
Of Harding

Dear Mr.. Konkel:-
In the last presidential cleo
tion the republicans had for one
OF their slogans II let's be done
with wiggle and wobble, and
here's the record:
Passed d high tariff - highest
on record, thus shutting out
trade with foreign countries ow.
ing US mon sy and unable to pay
thus shutting US out of one chance
of getting tho money.
Then they ask us to donate
millions u an American mer-
chant marine to carry a trade
that is barred by a high tariff,
Eliminated excess-profits tax
ca and surtaxes, then complain
that the treasury WlA not stand
the strain OF u soldiers bonus.
The administration goes 1. q
big expense to Investigate for
eiGn markets, then passes q tar.
itf that will make it impossible
for foreign countries to buy our
gooda. ..'''
We refuse TO join the league
OF nations and then howl if they
act without our advise and con-
sent.
They reduce 20 expenses by
uiliag up big deficits and then
boast of the great reductions y
made.
No wonder the swing back to
the democratic Tarty was go
strong last year.
Yours truly.
j. H. Latra.

A Lesson in Obedience
Obedience you'll find the rule
That first is taught. in natures

OD6uISuCS yQu IL llIlu Tie AulO
That first is taught. in natures
school. Mrs. Grouse.
Peter Rabbit was full of curiosity,
but he was too polite to ask Mrs
Grouse where her II pretty babies
had so suddenly appeared from.
You see there are certain things
which the little people of the Green
Forest keep secret, and it is not
good taste to ask about them. Mrs.
Grouse knew just how curious and
puzzled Peter was. Her eyes twink
led as she watched him.
Aren't they darlings, Peter Rab-
bit?" demanded Mrs. Grouse.
Peter nodded gravely. "They GER
tainly are" said he. 'They certain
ly are. But how under the sun do
you keep watch of so many? They
must be great care"
"They are" replied Mrs. Grouse.
Children always are a great care,
whether there be few or many. But
if they are taught obedience from
the very beginning a geat deaP OF
worry is avoided. Obedience is the
first great law in life. There are no
more obedient children in all the
Green Forest than mine, if I do say
so. I never have to speak to them
more than once. You saw how they
