A Typical American

Warren Gamaie Harding will probably go down in the
pages of history as typical American than whom no
fonder ideal could be found in a story book
The steps by which he to the first position in the
land the steps by which Americans love to have their
heroes mount upward Poor farmer boy aborer printer
struggling and conscientious young editor promoter OF
his home towns interests. builder of modest fortune,
United States senator, president What cherished
path could any American have taken from humble OBJ
security to the highest position in the land?
The wonderful thing about Warren Harding, the
printer and the president his attitude toward his fell
lowmen. No felt more kindly and generous to-
ward his neghbors. No srove harder to prae-
tice the Golden Rule in which he devouty believed No
man stood more Loyalty by his friends in their times
of trial and trouble No counted less the cost
of this loyalty to himself.
One incident of Mr. Hardings life illustrates his feel
ing for his fellow workers II was back in the days of
the Marion Star which the young printer had taken
struggling paper, hopeleSsy in debt He and Mrs.
Harding worked day and night making the Star 1t sue
eeeded Enthusiastically and financially The first thing
Editor Harding did when the paper was out OF debt was
TO divide big block of minority stock among his work
such terms that the stock could pay for itself He
wanted the Star staff his partners not his employees
erhaps his conscience and his devotion TO duty the
.auses of President Hardngs premature death In his
struggling days. Warren Harding formed the habit Of
working without looking at the clock Not infrequenty
he carried this to the extreme of aborng without thought
TO his health He had TO do that when he young
It was the only way out and the American thing to do
Later, as president, he worked as no other man in
Washington worked because of the enormy of his task
He was sensitive child to public comment and he
wanted the nation feel that he doing his level best
even If that meant working himself to death.
That is what President Harding did In that sense he
Is martyr to the responsibilities his people imposed upon
him. He probably knew what he doing. He had
at least other president crushed by the response
bilities of the White House This martyrdom of the
presidents viii give the American nation something to
honor seriously.
Perhaps the sweetest thing in President Hardngs life
was his genuine modesty. He just plain and SIM
pie citizen. Elevated by his fellow men and women
against his wishes to the highest pedestal in the land he
realized his limitations, always He mentioned them
often In his talks at the White House Sincerely he never
pretended to be great man. He just a simple ct-
zen, doing his best under difficulties and therein lies his
greatness.

PUNCHING THE SPORT CLOCK
SHELTON FACTORY
 LEAGUE STARTS

Shelton, June IA more propitious time could not have been chosen for the opening games of Shelton's Indus trial baseball league than the past week, when the Premier-P Potter Print ing Press and the dual team of the Star Pin and Shelton Cutlery started the ball rolling on Island Park The game at Sunnyside was opened by the Bassetts and Blumenthals. The game at the island was the drawing card and over 400 people were on hand to witness the first ball tossed over the home plate by Mayor Bennett N Beard, after which things started with a bang for the two teams to combat on this field. The Knives and Pins played ducks and drakes with the dual team rolling up score of 20 to 9.
 In the game played at Sunnyside, the Bassetts made the first home run but lost to Blumentha1s to the tune of II to 5. The first man over the home plate in this game, which was started with Mayor B. N. Beard throwing the ball to Tyler, catcher for Bassetts, was made by Tyler, of the Metal Goods Co. Wysowski rolled home first for Blumenthals and after that he lid was off and the fans began % take a keen interest in affairs.

ORNBURN PRESS
 FIRST IN FIELD
 OF COMPO CLUBS
Publishing Concern of Labor News Starts Initial Unit in New Haven With a Mem
 bership of 100 P. C.

The Ornburn Press, Inc, publishers of The Connecticut Labor News, holds the distinction of being the first concern in New Haven to form a Compo Club, a unit of a national or ganization that is exploiting a new and convenient method of money say | ing.
 The Compo Club of the Ornburn 1 Press was formed early last week, a few days after the plan had been out lined and endorsed by state leaders of organized labor. Every employe of the company voluntarily agreed to be- come a member, thus creating a rec ord of 100 per cent There is no doubt that Compo clubs are to prove attractive in labor circles. It is anticipated that by the time the movement gets into full swing, the maj jority of working men will have been enrolled.
 The workings of the Compo Club are simple, but profitable. Here is the system, as outlined in circualrs sent out by the National Tradesmens Bank & Trust company of New Ha ven:
 One day each week is decided up- on as a bank day.
 "A person IS dppOlHlSu III SdCu COH- cern, or apartment, to act as Compo Club cashier who will take the de- posits, place them in a special en- velope furnished for the purpose, and deliver same to the bonded messen- ger of the bank when called for taking a receipt therefor.
 A prospective member signs mem bership card which, with the money fo the Compo Club cashier All the membership cards and the deposits are placed in the envelope and turned over to the bonded messenger of the club.
 Within a day or two, the bank re- turns deposit book made out in the name of each member, showing the amount of the original deposits. On any future deposit day, if a member wishes to deposit, an entry is made in the members bank book, showing the number, date and amount of your de- posit. The book is always in the pos session of a member. It Is a receipt. The deposit slips and money go to a bank through the same channel as the original deposit, that is, through the club cashier.
 There are only two records kept of deposits-the member has one and the bank has the other It is there fore a matter entirely between the member and the bank Thus it is made both safe and easy for mem bers-you do not have to go to the bank because the bank comes to you.
 Compound interest is paid and money is subject to withdrawal at any time.

 NO-STRIKE LAW

Denver, June I.-The state supreme court has upheld the Colorado cant strike" provision which makes it il- legal for any one to urge others to strike without giving the state com mission 30 days notice.
 The court set aside a decision by District Judge Cornforth of Colorado Springs, who dismissed a complaint against Nicholas Fontaccio, a repre- sentative of the United Mine Work CTS, who was charged with "inciting miners to strike" without giving the required 30 days notice. The supreme court held that the complaint was legal.

BUSH LIMA BEANS MAY
BE PROFITABLE CROP

ATHENS, GA, Sept. 4-Prof. T.
H. Mediation, professor of horti-
culture at the State College of Agri-
culture here today announced that
while generally speaking Georgia is
not especially adapted to the pro
duction OF dry beans of the Kidney
and Lima types. However it has been
reported from a number of sources
that there is a possibility Of max
ing fairly good money through the
growing of the small bush white
lima, or butter bean. This is COM
monty known to the trade as the
Seiva Bush Lima, and also Improved
Henderson Bush Lima, and some
times as Carolina Bush lima. The
production Of the large li4ua beans
has not been satisfactory in our
state, and those desiring to grow n
quick maturing crop, where for some
reason a main crop has proven I'M
successful, will find the growing of
this small white lima, or butter bean
fairly remunerative.

500 BALES GINNED
IN TERRELL TO DATE

DAWSON, Ca, Sept. 4-Terrell
county's gin figures up through Fri
day night, to September /, were 500
bales as compared with 6,693 bales
ginned to the corresponding period
last season. To the same period for
1921 the figures were 2,425 bales as
compared with 513 for 1920 to the
corresponding period. The crop this
season was very late and due to
excessive and continuous rains, the
ginning has been greatly delayed,
the farmers having waited for their
cototn to dry out before having it
ginned. Six out of twenty-one gin
neries in the county have not as yet
begun operations. However, some Of
these, it is understood, will begin
this week. Alb nj s:X,y to seventy
per cent of the cotton received by
the warehouses has been sold, while
some are holding their cotton for a
rise in price which seems sure. 9th
ers are taking no chances on a de-
cline but are selling as fast as they
can prepare it for market.

TIT PLAY

/ Here. is rather unusual pla,
that came up in the minors thi
year and caused the umpire to hav,
very unpleasant afternoon:
With runners or ilrst and sec
ond and no one out, the batter
hit long drive to right field that
the two runners decided would
fall safe. They start. to run at
the crack of the bat
The fielder made a remarkable
catch of the ball. When he did
so the runner on second was al
most to the plate, while the run
ner originally on first was almost
to third.
The fielder threw the ball to
the second baseman, who held the
ball on that bag. Since the run
ner originally on second had left
that base long before the ball was
caught, touching of the third base
with the ball retired him, making
two out.
Since the runner originally on
first was almost to third when the
catch was made, the player believ-
ing that touching second base al
so retired him, making three outs,
in his glee over what he regarded
as triple play. threw the ball to
one of the outfielders, who wasn't
eXpecting the throw and the ball
rolled to the fence.
The runner from first, who was
almost to third, retraced his steps.
touched second on his way back
and then first. On so doing he
turned and reached third base be-
fore the ball could be returned to
the infield.
What about this play? Did
touching second retire both run
ners. completing a triple play?
THE INTERPRETATION
The fielder who held the ball on
second, and then believing that he
had completed a triple play, threw
the ball into the outfield, was in
error.
While it would have been impos-
sible for the runner to have re-
gained first base with a fielder
standing between him and the base
with the ball, still the mere touch
/ ing Of second did not retire him.
The rule states in order to retire
a runner who has failed to hold his
base on a caught fly ball it is nee
essary to return the ball to the
base occupied when the ball was
hit or touch him before he can get
back.
In this case to retire the run
ner originally on first and who left
before tile ball was caught, it was
necessary to touch him with the
IbaH or throw it to first The mere
touching of second tlidnAt lqonl
plete the play.
The runner who retraced his
steps to first and then managed tt
reach third. was entitled to thai
base. A double, not a triple, play
was made by the side in the field.

Players ball kicks back anc
rolls into water hazard on the
near side of the hole. What i:
the proper procedure in such q
case? Can the player lift his bal
ball and drop on that side or must
he go back and drop on the far
side?
Player must drop on the far side
of the hole.
Player tees his ball. He steps
several feet back of where the ball
has been teed and takes prac-
tice swing to timber up his wrists.
His club comes into contact with
the ground in such a manner thas
it causes the ball to drop from the
tee. Is that regarded as a stroke?
Such an act on the part of the
player, striking the ground with
practice swing, the jar causing
the ball to roll from the tee, is
not regarded as a stroke. The
player may re-tee the ball without
penalty.

TO HOLD STATEWIDE
MEMORIAL SERVICES
Memory of James Edward Ogle-
thorpe to Be Honored by
Georgians in February

MACON, Sept. 4.-James Ed
ward Oglethorpe, who lett Eng
land with a shipload OF eolonists,
sobered by Imprisonment in deb
tors prisons too, found Georgia in
1873, will be the subject of state
wide memorial services next Feb
ruary, when the approaching 200th
anniversary of the state is to be
celebrated, according to plans be-
ing developed by the Macon cham
Der of commerce.
February II has been suggested
as the date when stirring tales of
the hardships and adventures ex-
perienced by the early settlers
once again will be told. All other
cities in the state are being asked
to cooperate in the movement.
The late Joel Chandler Harris,
of Br'er Rabbit fame, in one of
his histories of the state, relates
an interesting story on Ogle-
thorpe, who served under Eugene
of Savoy; as a captain lieutenant
in the queens guard, and later as
a member of parliament, On the
staff of Eugene of Savoy, Ogle-
thorpe became conspicuous for his
fidelity and fearlessness.
"Wliile serving undsr Eugene,
he one day found himself sitting
at a table with prince of Wurt-
emburg," the history reads. "He
was a beardless youngster, and the
prince thought to have some sport
with him. Taking up glass of
wine, the prince gave it a flip so
that little flew in Oglethorpe's
face.
"The young Englishman, looking
straight at the prince, and smiling,
said: MY prince, that is only part
of the joke as the English know it:
I will show YOU the whole of it,
With that. he threw a glassful of
the wine in the princes face.
