Memorial Services
at St. Matthews

There will be held in ST Matthew's
church on Friday morning, August
10 at 1880 a memorial service for the
late President Of the united States.
The service will be especially appro-
pirate to the occasion with a short
address by the rector. In view of the
Keen sense of loss and grief that is
telt throughout the country. and the
fact that the day has been declared
one of mourning, Il is scarcely neces-
sary to urge upon all church people
the propriety of holding such a SER
vice and attending it. The rector
and members of ST Matthew's church
are always glad to have persons who
are not members of the church pres
ent at their services. and they more
than welcome any who would care to
come and be with them at this time
OF sadness in the life Of our nation.

Capital Ceremony
Fails to Break Mrs.
Harding's Courage

Washington. Aug. S.-(By a. P.)-
With the same fortitudc that al
ready had won her a great out
pouring of the sympathy of the ma
ton. Mrs. Florence King Harding
today passed coura geously through
the ordeal of the solemn state fu->
neral of her husband. Tonight she
again was alone with her dead as
the funeral train sped westward to-
ward Marion where for her must
come an even greater trial as the
body is consigned to it's last place of
rest.
Although plainly showing the long
and painful journey across the
continent, Mrs. Harding who
only brief time ago made
brave fight for her own life,
still maintains the control of an iron
will that enabled her to say when
first the terrible blow struck at San
| Francisco that she would not break
down.
And so in her public appearance
today she permitted to escape her
no manifestation of the grief that
tears at her heart. Both Brig. Gen.
