In Editor and Publisher.
T WAS early on New Year's after
noon not so ery long ago. Lean-
chant In particular directs attention
to what Harding did for his store.
"Dan. you've got to advertise," said
' Harding.
inB over the "stone- In the rear of 1 Can t afford it-an hardly meet

powerfully-built man. A green shade is merely using a club to beat off
was over his eyes and a corncobpipe
hung at some degrees from a firm,
square and well-set jaw. He was mak
in' up." and the way he handled the
"rule" showed plainly to the ob
server that the make-up man knew
his business. His face and hands were
Bmeared with ink, and his hair was
awry; but back of the ink could be
seen the clean-cut, strong features of
a man whose very presence radiated (
strength of purpose.
"You are a bird of-a looking United
States senator," shouted the caller.
Mnat Helping," la Comment.
Td be a bird of a United States
senator if I didn't know how to do
anything else," was the calm reply,
as the kindly gray eyes of .Warren G.
Harding twinkled a welcome.
"You see, this being a holiday, we
are going to press early so that the
boys can get away. I'm just helping
out." and he finisned justifying the
page between puffs of the Missourr-i
meerschaum.
This is but an incident in the busy
life of Senator Harding, Ohio's candi
date for the republican presidential
nomination. He had made up the pa
per in years gone by. when he and
Mrs. Harding used to carry the day's
receipts home in a sock and figure
until all hours of the night how to
meet the payroll and the current bills,
and after the Marion Dally Star was
rated as one of the leading country
dailies of the middle west United
States Senator Warren G. Harding
had not forgotten how to make up.
On this particular day Senator
Harding watched the "devil" carry
away the last page, which the sena
tor himself had locked up without the
aid of a toothpick or a match. (Any
printer will explain the use of the
latter.) Then he went over to the
sink and made good use of a cake of
tar soap, adding Tt" little more grime
to the print shop towel. (Any printer
can explain also the mysteries of
print shop towel.)
Leading; Editorial Next Job.
Inviting his guest to the little old
office on the second floor, where
Warren G. Hardin gton has directed
the Drocress of the Star for many
years, he took from the hook behind
the door an old smoking Jacket, a
remnant of bygone days, and pro
ceeded to write the leading editorial
for the following issue.
Of course this was political, for the
readers of this big country daily ea
gerly await a vacation time when the
boss of the paper gets back at the
desk for a few days. Then they know
they will get the latest politics right
off the bat.
The Marion Daily Star Is always
well edited, but the readers know
when Senator Harding is at home.
He imparts a certain flavor to his
editorial reasoning which is peculiar
to himself and which has been largely
responsible for the wonderful success
of his paper.
Between paragraphs, he talked to
his visitor and discussed local situa
tions and conditions. Then it hap
pened. The noise of the revolving
press ceased. The vibrations which
were music to Senator Harding's ear
were stilled.
"Must be something wrong In the
basement." he mused.
Sure enough, something was wrong
and Senator Harding, followed by his
guest, descended to the basement.
Usually, when the web breaks, a lot
of fellows forget what church they
belonged to, but not the senator. He
took in the situation, offered timely
suggestions in his quiet, patient way,
and the edition caught the mail.
Day Bnay for Senator.
For the second time the tar soap
and print-shop towel came into good
use to eradicate printer's ink.
Then back to the "sanctum."
In the same easy, forceful way.
Senator Harding made- business en
gagements over the telephone during
the afternoon and after he had made
arrangements to attend a bank di
rectors' meeting, a meeting of the
directors of another Institution which
has contributed largely to the Indus
trial growth of Marion and which ni
this Instance met to increase Its capi-
tnl stock, the senator assisted Mrs.
Harding In wrapping up Christmas
presents which they had received, pre
paratory to taking them to Washing
ton.
Late In the day Senator and Mrs.
Harding made arrangements for a
social call upon friends in the even
ing. Incidentally, between times. Senator
Harding had plenty of time to talk
"'shop" and district, state and na
tional politics to the visiting editor
from a neighboring city.
Going some? Yes, we all say. But
In Marion, and especially around the
office of the Star, they say: "Just a
regular day for W. G."
And in Marion "W. G." is known
a a "regular fellow."
Rale Is Pocket Piece. .
Not many folks know it, but Sena
tor Harding carries a pocket piece
that he values very highly. Not for Hs
intrinsic value, however, for it has
none. It Is the make-up rule he used
when he bought the Marion Daily
Star years ago. At that time the
newspaper was a liability to the tune
of hundreds of dollars the first year
and several thousand at the end of
the second; but Harding and the
make-up rule stayed on the job until
they "made the grade." Today, when
the senator goes into the print shop
end of his newspaper plant, this old
niake-up rule goes along, and togeth
er they do yeoman service.
There is another thing about the
Harding plant which speaks volumes
for its proprietor. That is the force
of employes. One of them says that
when a man goes to work for Sena
tor Harding he moves In his trunk.
Hut the explanation is easy. When
the newspaper was losing money
' Harding shouldered the burden. After
It had arrived, some ten years ago,
ha took the boys and some of the
girls in on the proposition and made
them stockholders. They hold stock
today and there has never been
semblance of labor trouble in the big
office. It is "our paper" and "our
print shop." The employes of the
Marion Daily Star are as proud of the
big country daily as the junior eena
tor from Ohio. They helped to
make it.
Dctalla Never Overlooked.
Senator Harding is a great hand at
detail. He doesn't pay attention to all
of the trifling details of the newspa
per business, but if the detail is tri
fling and interferes with the best in
terests of the business, it is not too
trifling for him to notice and correct.
The working of the subscription and
advertising departments are almost
automatic in perfection.
- There is many a man doing capac
ity business in Marion today who owes
his success to Senator Harding and
will admit it. That is because Hard
ing watched details. One big; mer-
your business head.
Well, this fellow took Harding's ad
vice and Harding made the plan an
easy one, and central Ohio hasn't a
better department store. Harding took

When this merchant told of has ex

"We expect to arrange' for the

Save $ 130.00 by Being Your Own Salesman
The Schwan Piano Co. makes it easy to buy- and own a new improved piano by its
organized methods of distribution. It considers as unnecessary great numbers of
outside city or traveling salesmen, and you benefit by these fully 20 to 25 savings.
The price of a piano is the amount that we exchange for it, not in money, but
in personal happiness, comfort and mental satisfaction.
The cheapest piano, therefore, is not that which sells for the least, nor is it that
which sells for the most it is that which best satisfies our sense of tone color,
gratifies our feelings, does not offend our hearing.
The Schwan Piano Co. idea is to provide for the many who, possessing the ap
preciation of quality, cannot afford its possession, and therefore its 25 lower
than local market prices furnishes a great satisfaction to know that many who as- ,
pire will possess quality pianos or player pianos.

In place of the medieval rockpile of the state penitentiary, the present administration has substituted a model
wood camp, located 19 miles southeast of Salem, built to accommodate 30 trusties. The camp was opened three
months ago. while Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner was acting as temporary warden, and the men were sent to it with the under
standing that there would be no gun guards and that they would receive 60 cents a cord for all the wood they cut
and put in shape for cartage to the prison.
The men first put the camp in order, erecting a cookhouse, dining-room, bunkhouse, commissary department
and a main lounging room. The work is In charge of Charles A. Knapp, a paroled convict, and Is being conducted

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very suc
cessful In overcoming these condi
tions. The mild ana neanng miiu-
ence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is
soon realized. It stands the highest
for its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa
nies, in an interview of the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for Insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to tne
American people, and the large ma
jority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores In
bottles of two sizes, medium and
large.
However, if you wish nrst to test
this great preparation, send ten cents
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.
Y., for a sample bottle. When writing
be sure and mention The Portland
