DOG IS SENTINEL l AT HARDING TOMB
 FOR ENTIRE NIGHT
Fox Terrier Takes Up Post Soon After Funeral
 Services

MARION, O., August 11.-(By As sociated Press Whether it was mere dog instinct for a friend who was ever kind and generous to dogs, mongrel or pedigreed or mere curi- osity born of the occasion, never will be known perhaps.
 Soldiers on watch at the tomb of President Harding were there by orders. People passed by in hushed respect. But it was a small fox terrier pup which early today kept vigil of his own account at the tomb where the President sleeps.
 The dog would have been there still, perhaps, but minimizing guards coming on duty this morning, seeing the dog at the entrance to the tomb of that lover Cf dogs, routed him from slumber and chased him away.
 Guards that had kept the watch during the night, learning that their successors had disturbed the faithful friend of the dead, informed them of the circumstances of the vigil.
 Today the 26 soldiers assigned to guard the vault took up the search for the terrier to bring him back to his station, but in vain. As news spread over Marion others took up the search also but the dag had vanished.
 It was learned today that the dog had taken it's place in the funeral procession with employees of the Ma rion Star, the Presidents paper, and followed them to the cemetery
 At the tomb the dog trotted in and get among the cabinet officers and others standing reverently by the bier. Finally he law down just in- side the tomb and with anxious eyes watched the last sad rites for the dead President. Persons in the fu- neral party started to chase him away, but as they looked at Mrs. Harding and knowing the esteem which her husband had held for dogs, they quickly stopped. ...,

Helsingfors Is a city of fine stores, banks and. other financial establish inents. Its business buildings are usually of granite, of four or five stories, and some of them have such elaborate architecture as to be al- most barbaric. There are many American goods sold, and like the cities of Sweden and Norway, the town has an American air. There are a number of large banks, some more than so years old. There Is a national bank which issues the Fin nish marks, currency which now runs into the billions, but which has a more or less stable value. There are savings banks almost every where, and every parish has one. The depositors In such banks now num- Der about one for each family of the republic.
 Cooperative Stosrs.
 An interesting feature of business IS the cooperative storess of which there are 120 in Helsingfors alone, t5 per cent of their members being laboring people. They pay the regu- lar price but get percentage on all that they buy. Cooperative stores are to be found in every part of the country.
 In cooperation Finland Is pattern ing after Denmark. Not only the farmers but the town people have their cooperative societies. The farmers have 500 cooperative dairies and 300 clubs for the purchase of farm machinery and tools. There are more than 700 egg selling societies and the farmers are more and more every day eliminating the middle man. They are selling their own proucts both at home and abroad and are growing rich by it. This same movement is being pushed in all Scandinavia. and I understand it is common in the new republics south of the Baltis. Is it not about time our own farmers should wake up and take notice?

 The common school system was In troduced into Finland more than To years ago, and at the time of our revolution the Films passed law that no one could be married until he had learned Luther's catechisn. At that time parents who did not teach their children to read were fined, and when Peter the Great ray aged the country, the fugitiVes who fled to the woods carved the alpha bet on their dinner tables and thus taught their children.
 Today there are less than 220oo people in Finland over 15 years of 9 ge who cannot read and write and that in a population of a little more than three millions. We have, rough ly speaking, more than seven people
