WRANGELL WILL DO ITS PART IN THE HARDING
 MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION

Mayor J. G. Grant, who was re- gently appointed chairman of the Harding Memorial Association for Wrangell, this week placed sub- scription lists in several of the local business houses where voluntary do- nations will be received.
 A large donation from any one individual is not expected. It is hoped, however, that every man, woman and child in Wrangell will feel it an honor to contribute his or her bit to this splendid tribute. President Harding gave unreserved- ly of his failing strength to learn what he could of our neglected territory in order that he might help us to make our condition bet ter. We can show our appreciation in a small way, by joining the Hard- ing Memorial Association. Any amout, large or small, entities the donor to a certificate of member ship in the association. Those who have charge of the expenditure of the fund are headed by President Calvin Coolidge. The executive committee includes the members of Mir.

Ana the interest Of the Ieople Of
Washington is not measured by the
number Of visitors at the mum show.
There are many more thousands who
have affection for flowers wfso did not
take the time and trouble lto make
the pilgrimage. They satisfy their
flower appetite in other waya.
The liking for flowers Isl general,
and the man or woman iss probably
rare who does not have a tesader feel.
ing for these things of nature. 1t
might be said that almost asy sort Of
a free show will draw a crowd. and
that the populace loves a vspectae ele,
but this does not explain wing so many
people go to government f1oSer shows
and to flower shows that ase held in
those outlying parts Of the city which
used to be the suburbs. Whsn the De.
partment Of Agriculture se1s out Its
amaryllis show the greenhouses ip
which those flowers grow are crowded
during all the hours Of day and eve
ming, and extra guards or guides are
required to regulate the throng and
keep the people moving. 1t is believed
that neither the amaryllis nor the
chrysanthemum is as much loved as
other flowers, notably the rose, but
there is sufficient interest IN them to
crowd the greenhouses and test the
capacity Of the flower shewmen in
finding room for visitors.
Interest in flowers Is not limited
to persons who raise flowers or who
buy them from florists. Many of the
visitors to the government flower
shows live where they canriot have a
flower plot, and many of them are not
patrons of florist shops because they
feel that this luxury is beyond their
means. Probably thousands sf the peo.
pie who walk long way 50 govern
ment flower shows. or pas carfare,
seldom have a flower they can call
their own, and yet their iSterest In
flowers is fresh and lively. =
There is no way to set down in exact
terms the influence of floweEs on men,
but it is a good influence. Earks with
their flower beds are often spoken Of
simply as breathing PLACES" But
parks with their trees aid flower
beds have a psychic as well as phyA
ical influence on mankind.

SHOOTING STARS,
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
A Serious Scarcity,

A Serious Scarcity.
Don't complain of the man who keeps
smiling,
And say that his nature is cold;
For the world needs bit of beguiling
When sorrows are growing too bold;
When the shadows about us are creep
ing,
The day is less dismal by half
II we halt the desire to be weeping
And bravely endeavor to laugh.
When sympathy seeks for expression
Our tears are too easily shed,
They follow in doleful succession
Till all e the sunshine has fed
So do not regard all that's merry
AS only irrelevant chaff-
Our griefs become prevalent sery!
The thing that grows scarca is the
laugh.
