CANADIANS LIKE
PRESIDENT HARDING
TOUCHES HIGHER NOTE IN
SIMPLICITY OF MESSAGE.
MAGNETIC PERSONALITY.

VANCOUVER, B. C.-Forty-
eight hours have elapsed since Presi-
dent Harding broke the precedent OF
century or more and, as chief exec
utive of the United States, visited the
Dominion of Canada. The time has
been long enough to obtain the re-
action of the people of Vancouver and
western Canada toward Mr.. Harding.
They are not like him, but they like
him immensely
A new significance has been attach
ed to the meaning of the word neigh
Dor" as the result of President Hard
ing's visit. If he had never uttered the
word, however, his every action would
have conveyed just the impression
which he so apparently expressed. The
one sentence which, above all others
that fell from the presidents lips,
struck home, was:
81 think we are the best neighbors
in the world" And the significance at
tached by Mr. Harding to that utter
ance was further revealed when he
said:
1T is a good thing to have neigh
bors to whose place you can run
across and borrow a couple of eggs"
The latter homely metaphor, illus
trating Mr.. Harding's conception of
the neighborliness existing between
the two English speaking countries OF
North America was understood and
appreciated by every Canadian who

and prayer had won the battle against
disease.
The disease had been conquered,
the fire was out, but seven days of
silent though intense suffering had
left their mark and stroke of apo
plexy came without an instant's warn
ing, and before physicians could be
called, members of his party sum-
moned, or remedial measures taken
he passed from life's stage after hav-
ing for nearly two and half years
served his nation and for many more
years his native state of Ohio.
Mrs. Harding Gives First Intimation.
The first intimation that a change
had occurred in the condition of Mr..
Harding came shortly after 7 o'clock
when Mrs. Harding personally open
ed the door of the sick room and call
ed to those in the corridors to Find
DR.. Boone and the others quick"
Brigadier General Sawyer, the pres
ident's physician, was among those in
the room when the chief executive
passed away. The others were Mrs.
Harding and two nurses, Miss Ruth
Powderly and Miss Sue Dausser
At that time Mrs. Harding was un-
derstood to have been reading to the
president, sitting at his bedside with
the evening papers and messages OF
sympathy which had been received
during the day.
President Harding was on the re-
turn trip to Washington, after spend
ing 80 days in the west and Alaska,
when he was attacked by a stomach
disorder and pneumonia in one lung.
He was on the road to recovery when
stroke of apoplexy, without warn
ing, ended his life.
When President Harding surren-
dered to the order of his physician at
San Francisco he had travelled $500
miles and had made upward OF oO
speeches.
President Harding was 81 years Of
age. He was the first Baptist and the
first newspaper man ever to become
president, and was elected by the
largest majority ever given a candi-
date for that office. He received ma
iority of 100000 votes, and carried
some of the more popular states by
majorities ranging from 100000 to
100000.

heard it, or who read it later in the
newspapers,
The press and public men, togeth-
err with the people of this part OF
Canada, are unanimous in the belief
that Mr.. Harding on the occasion OF
a first visit of the chief executive OF
nation alongside of which the do
minion has lived in peace for 100
wears were touched by high note in
the very simplicity of his message.
Everyone who heard Mr. Harding
believes the United States has a mag
netic personality as its titular head.
His boyish enthusiasm tor the recep-
ton accorded him by the 100000 peo-
pie who lined the streets to see him
pass and who assembled in Vancou-
ver's great rustic park to hear him
speak won the hearts of the crowd.
The reception given the president
was spontaneous and overwhelming.
Prominent men came from places
1000 and more miles away to attend
the functions in the presidents honor
But if international friendship was
the compelling motive, the people of
Canada demonstrated by the increas-
ing enthusiasm they evinced at the
presidents every appearance that per-
Sonal admiration has come to be a
chief factor in their welcome The
banner line in the Vancouver Sun. the
morning paper, which read, "Vancou
yer falls to Harding" expressed ex-
actly the degree of personal conquest
achieved by the distinguished visitor.

1.-The above transaction will serve
to call your attention the fact that
whenever it is necessary to ship by
freight any material equipment or

the man making the shipment should
find out from the freight agent of the
railroad the cheapest possible rate for
which the shipment will be carried
and whether or not. as in the case
above outlined, the shipment may be
less rate. All engineers, supernten-

Federal Aid Project
Through Farmingdale
to Be Opened Today

Announcement was made at the
Offices of the State Highway Com
mission yesterday afternoon that the
Federal Aid project through Farm
ingdale, from the Gardiner line to the
Hallowell line. will be open for traffic
this morning. Signs have been placed
at each end of the road. warning
traffic to pass at it's own risk, as the
construction work is not entirely
completed. There Is little finishing
of shoulders. the erecting of some
guard rail and painting the same,
which remains to be done, so that
workmen will be on the road for a
week or ten days longer and traffic
is asked to exercise reasonable care
for the safety Of men employed on
the work.
The commission Is opening this
road a few days earlier than the time
regularly allowed for the curing of
concrete pavement, in consideration
OF the fact that weather conditions
recently have been exceptionally good
for the curing of concrete and on &C
count of the heavy volume of tourist
traffic and local traffic which has
been more or less Inconvenience by
using the detour.
The commission has been cooperat-
ing with the city of Hallowell in
making temporary improvement to
that portion of the State Highway
from the Farmingdale-H allowell line
to the limit of the thickly settled por-
ton of Hallowell. by placing a gravel
surface on this section. This work is
not quite completed but the work
which has been done will afford very
material relief to the traffic over con-
ditions which have recently prevailed.
1t is hoped that the city of Halo
well will see fit to improve its main
! business street.

Is Harold Lloyd King of Comedy?

Is Harold Lloyd King of Comedy?
Is Harold Lloyd the screens
comedy king?
That is an interesting question
and a question that James w. Dean,
prominent syndicate writer and mo-
ton picture critic knew would cause
considerable comment. In fact, Mr..
Dean began the controversy by syn
dicating a story through prominent
newspapers throughout the country
and thusly started the ball rolling.
He wrote:
1.-THE barber was talking as he
welded his razor. Valentino is a
great actor, he thinks, but William
t'arnum is greater. And who is his
favorite actor of all? Harold Lloyd.
Does he thing Lloyd better than
Chaplin. L should say he answers.
Chaplin is always the same. Lloyd
is always different
I'm a theatre a flash on the screen
announced the coming of Harold
Lloyd in DIR. Jack Said one man
to another near me:
"I'll have to see that. That fell
lows the funniest guy in the world
1.-The other man asked him II ne
thought he was funnicr than Chaplin.
".He's got Chaplin skinned seven
different ways he replied.
I'm another theatre the main title
of a release is flashed on the screen.
1t says Harold Lloyd in DR.. Jack
and before the opening scene is dis
closed, there is round of applause.
The only time | have witnessed such
an occurrence was on the first night
of the showing of The Three Muskc-
teerS' when Douglas Fairbanks was
there in person"
Mr.. Dean goes even further than
that, telling of the opinions of ten
different people in different walks Of
life. Two preferred Chaplin while a
housewife declared that she liked
Chaplin better in some ways but in
other ways didn't like him as well as
Lloyd" 1t is a question bound 70
