 T certainly couldn't run the gov ernment the way I run my business. There's a heap of waste in govern ment Suppose a motor factory were organized in AS different squares. with imaginary lines running up and down across the floors, and different rules and different sets of officials on each side of all the imaginary lines-why, I'll bet cars would cost a million dollars apiece, having to manufacture them in any such way as that. Yet, when we think of gov ernment, we take it for granted that there must be 4S states"
 As to what he could do If he were in charge of the government, Ford said:

Society Is evolving toward the in dustrial era. We are evolving from the notion of authority to the prin- ciple of accurate knowledge.

Sympathy For President

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD

montgomery, Ala., July
 Sympathy for President and Mrs. Harding over the illness of the Pres
 ident was voiced by the legislature Tuesday when it adopted a joint res olution offered by Senator Craft of Mobile. The legislature expressed the hope that the President will soon recover. Governor Brandon was re- quested to send a certified copy of the resolution to President Harding.
 Before Senator Underwood began his address in which he announced that he was willing to permit the use of his name as a candidate for President provided his constituents approved, he paused to say word of sympathy. The press dispatches carry us the sad news that the chief executive of the United States, our President, is stricken with sickness In this hour" said Senator Under wood, and 1 am sure I voice the sen- tlment of every man and woman in Alabama when I say we wish him God speed to an early recovery"

Yes. hundreds of thousands of them are. This applies to the housewife and mother who struggles on a small income to make both ends meet by do- ing all the washing, ironing, cook ing, making and mending for large family. There are others who not only support themselves working in factories, shops, stores and offices, but often have an invalid father or mother to support, therefore do homework beside.

 This resignation and determina- tion to make the best of the diff culties besetting him, the general indicated, were powerful factors aid ing toward his patients recovery.
 There will be no further confer. ence of physicians attending the President until tomorrow morning a 9 o'clock, it was announced, and no formal statement of the executives condition will be issued until 9:30 tomorrow morning.

 The President is better
 Those four words tell the story of a fight made today by, Warren G. Harding in a room on the top floor of the Palace Hotel, where he lies i'll with broncho- pneumonia and several complications. They first were spoken early in the day by Brigadier General Charles F. Sawyer, chief of the stair of physicians attending MT. Harding and hour by hour they were passed along by word of mouth. by telegraph. by telephone and by cable and by radio until tonight they had reached some of the furthermost parts of the world.
 General Sawyer spoke the words at s a. m., on coming from the sick room, where he had spent consider able portion of the night. He added two or three sentences but the first statement he made contained the news that the nation and the world wanted to hear. Two hours later he and the other physicians issued bulletin, more comprehensive and couched in medical language But from 1t the average man and woman got a single common thought and that was: "The President is better"

BACKWARD CROP
CONDITIONS HELP
COTTON PRICES
Recent Fluctuations Due To Liqui-
dation And Buying New Crop
Future Positions
PLANTING BADLY BEHIND
Field Work Retarded in Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee
Weather Conditions Good

NEW YORK, April 18.-Steady
liquidation of long commitments in
the old crop months and more conf
dent buying of new crop positions
for much Of the recent irregular
have in the main been responsible
fluctuations in contract values, say
Henry CIews & Co., in their weekly
review Of the cotton marketing situa-
ton, for the current week.
Altogether the market has display
ed decidedly more strength than
weakness, owing to the development
of sufficient trade support for near
by months to absorb the offerings on
price recessions and the backward
planting season, which has checked
arbitrage and hedging sales of Oc-
tober and December. Southern spot
markets are quieter with only limit
ed demand reported from domestic
spinners or for export. Prices have
been shaded at some points, but as
a rule, quotations are still above
the New York parity, which will pre-
vent consignments to this port in the
immediate future. While both
American and English spinners will
require much more raw materials to
