Inherits a Graveyard.

Lancaster. Ohio, Aug. 3. - by
the death of Warren G.. Harding.
Calvin Coolidge comes into possess
sion of an acre of land in the
vicinity which he may use as a
burial place for himself, if he so
desires.
An acre of land. owned by Ma
thaniel Wilson, was bequeathed by
Wilson one hundred years ago 10
President Andrew Jackson as a
burial place and to his SUCCESSORS
in the presidency. No chief execI.
tive has ever awaited himself of
the privilege, however. Wilson
died in 1896.
Many locust trees are within the
enclosure and il is surrounded by
n high octagonal stone wall. The
place is known as Presidents
acre" and is visited by many.

soldiery of the country had always
been willing to 60 to the front, but
that it had gone unprepared. He COM
plimented the students upon coming to
the G. NJ. T. G. for one month during
the summer, and said it was this spirit
as manifested by them and by the men
who attend the other summer training
camps that has enabled the nation to
make such a vast step toward keeping
citizen army prepared to defend the
nation.
Urges Students to Join Guards.
General Wolters also urged the
students to join eithe: the National
Guard or the organized reserve corps
when they complete their training in
the c. NJ. T. c. He told them to get
into one of the lines of defense and
ever be ready to defend the nation.
In concluding he said:
II have been assoc..ted with Off
GERS of the regular army for % years
and l have never been associated any
where with finer set of men. You
will find that they are straighter,
squarer. and more to the point than
any men you have dealt with. They
give you instruction straight to the
point, and as you learn to know them
you will like that type of instruction
more and more. You will find that
they are far better set of instructors
than you have found in your school
rooms.
"Now, we are all for peace. We
want no war, but the best way to in
sure lasting peace is to have a citi-
zen soldiery that is trained and ready
to go to war at any time. So long as
our country has citizen army, trained
and educated as to the rights and
wrongs of nations, any tyrant who has
become blinded with ambition for his
personal ACCOMPLISHMENT will think
twice before he runs amuck."

prize of $500. Kirkwood's total was
200, eleven shots behind Hagen and
Melhorn, and Kirkwood was three
shots better than Ralph Smith,
Denver, who took fourth money.
No more exciting golf was ever
played in Texas than the final
eighteen holes. Hagen was playing
ahead of Melhorn and took 81 to
go out. Melhorn played the first
nine of the last round in "a, and so
stood level with Hagen with nine
to go.
birdie four at the long twelfth
gave Melhorn a stroke lead, which
he increased to two shots by hold
ing a birdie three at the sixteenth,
when he slipped in from off the
green. Hagen had finished his
round with a glorious three at the
eighteenth. holding a long putt.
Melhorn got his three at the short
seventeenth. and only needed a four
to win but he took five.
Melhorn is without doubt one of
the really great competitive golfers
of the younger American home
breds. The Hagen-Kirkwood exhi-
bition team did well here. They
stand to take away $2,150 in prize
money, and If Hagen wins the play
off, they are sure of 81 ,400.50.

close last night. For two after
moons and evenings over 500 of
the finest specimens of practically
every breed. known in this coun-

That the average Washingtonian

upward of 5000 attended the
show during it's two-day run.

There. were times both Friday and
last evening when it was only with
difficulty that those attending the
event were able to move about SO
great was the throng which filled
the many aisles along which were
benched the many champions and

Washingtonians are not only adj
mirers of good dogs but Washing

Report.

London, Jan. 26.-By A: rl-The
correspondent of the Yorkshire Even
ing News, wiring to his paper from,
Doom, says:
In spite of elaborate efforts to hide
the truth, I have discovered that the
second marriage of the former Ger
man emperor has been a complete
failure and that at the present mo-
ment he is living in one part of the
castle, while his wife and her chill.
dren are in another. I am told that
a very few weeks sufficed to bring
about the breakdown.
Those who are near the cx-kaiser
have been struck by the grave altera.
ton not only in his mood, but in his
character. He is said to have been
affected very unfortunately by the
operation for gland transference he
underwent before his second marriage.
His own children have not forgiven
him for the second marriage and his
step-children avoid him.
His means are reduced and his
private expenditure strictly limited.
He is living today under most unhap.
py family conditions. He can com.
mand neither service, affection nor
companionship and the breakdown in
his domestic arrangements Is painful
ly apparent to the very few who visit
him."
