Marlon, Ohio, Now 5. - Senator
! Hardin 1 the first cigarette smoker
- to be elected President of the United
eutea. lt' somewhat of a shock to
see the ponderous and imposlnr
p resident-elect draw from - his coat
pocket a thin silver cigarette case,
extract a slender "pllP and light it,
' -There is something Incongruous 'about
' the tiny white cylinder and thin stream
of smoke in contrast to. Senator Hard
ing's large features, august face, with
Its prominent aquiline nose and beetling
' brows. The effect is somewhat skin to
that which one imagines might be pro
duced by a large lion with a baby blue
ribbon about Its neck playing kitten
ishly witn a ball of string, or a solemn
small-town old maid of . the old tea-
and-tabbycat type doing the shimmy.
DUAL FEHSOKaIiITY
This- seeming incongruity is merely ,
: one bit of testimony as to the peculiar
duality 'of the Harding character and
personality. The senator smokes clg-
arettes and chews tobacco, which is a
combination of two mild vices seldom
found In one man. Usually the man
.who smokes cigarettes looks with nor-;
- ror upon his tobacco . chewing . brother,
whereas the devotee of the plugcut and
the dental process of extracting satis
faction from the weed affects a scorn
of the more dainty man who soothes
his nerves with a cigarette.
Senator Harding pitches horseshoes
iand plays golf; his public speeches are
remarkable for the solemn dignity of
phrase in which they are delivered, and
' his casual conversation-' Is equally re
, markable for Its colloquial and oft times
. slangy flippancy. Eulogising anyone in
public the senator expresses praise in
" solemn and ponderous terms.
HAS TWO SIDES - ' ; ,
Speaking well of some acquaintance
In private, he says drawlingly : "Now,
So-and-So is not such a bad old scout."
In public Senator Harding never varies
' the weighty dignity of his manner with
' any lightness of behavior ; In private he
. falls naturally into sophomoric extremi
ties of relaxed posture in his search for
the most ' comfortable positions for his
large frame.
- - He is extolled alike by the most strict
ly puritanical of churchmen and by con
vivial spirits whose sole standard of
Judgment Is a man's ability to be - a
"good fellow In the commonly accepted
tense of that term., He is at home in
a motor car and drives his own automo
bile at an average speed of . better than
a score of miles per hour in excess of
, the limit advised by advocates of."safe-
ty first, and yet in appearance and
manner-he Is the personification of the
oldfashioned . lover of the horse, who
enjoys driving a well gentled team at a
.moderate trot. ' '
His guiding spirit has ever been am
bition, and yet the best of his old .friends
at Marlon laughingly agreed that he Is
. not and never has been a glutton- for
work. He reminds one of Mark Twain
', In his frank aversion for hard work and
his love for leisure and recreation In
, spite of all of which he has diligently
. sought and secured ' the" position that
- obligates him to a four, year period of
.fearful toil. v-- r '"-.; ..
The senator typifies in his person two
, widely different ages and conditions of
, life. On the one hand he expresses the
character moulded by his experience as
.. moderately poor boy In the moderate
ly poor rural Middle West of 40 years
. sgo. as a country school teacher in that
,- environment, as a small-town struggling
editor and local politician Intimately In
terested in the intimate, gossipy scraps
for small offices In his precincL ward,
town and county. ,
UTTERLY AMEBIC AX ' -
On the other hand he expresses the
character moulded by his experience as
a successful newspaper publisher and
business man : a man moderately jtfealthy
In a moderately wealthy community ; the
experience of a man of means with a
-. temperament peculiarly suited to full
enjoyment of all the creature comforts
' and social, pleasures to whichS-his posl
tton and wealth gave him access ; the
experience" of a prominent senator in
. contact at Washington with the big men
and . problems of the world. Combine
the expressions . Of these two variant

BOARD
OF TRADE
CHIEF
. AID TO FARMERS
By James lu KilgaHen ;
Pelted K t gtatt Cowpoedettt.
Chicago, Not-' I - F. Gates,
president of the Chicago Board of
Trade, will do all he can to help tha
farmers of the country organize a
practical plan ofmarketing the na
tion's grain crop, he told the Com
mittee of 17 of the American Farm
Bureau Federation late Thursday.
"But," he warned "the system that Is
permanently useful must take Into ao
eount all the people of the country."
AFTEB MIDDI.EMIC
, Gates was one of the speakers at the
committee's conference and Investiga
tion, now under way here for the pur
pose of evolving a centralised national
grain marketing plan. ; .
After his talk. Gates was subjected
to a rapid fire of questions from repre
sentatives of the various producers' or
ganizations present. These men were
in session because, as explained by the
ohaimnn. c H. Oustafsonr of Xjlnooln,
Neb-, "the producers claim that boards
of trade and commission men are per
im tnn exoensive for the service they
render and that there are too many mid
dlemen.
r.itM answered a barrage of some
what combative questions readily, but
xDlained in advance that his replies
were not for publication. .
BOABD OFTBADE'S HISTOBY
But in his speech he defended the or
rsniznd ereln exchangee as the most
economical methods of marketing the
country's grain. He said the organ
ised market stabilizes prices, a mo
nopoly in the grain business is Impos
sible under suc! a system, he asserted.
He said the speculators in grains can
not be eliminated ; that the critics of
speculators are largely those who do not
use the market. '
Grain markets," he declared, "are or
ganized not to serve either the consumer

Gates reviewed the evolution of the
Chicago Board of Trade since Its for
mation 70 years ago. He declared it
to be the best system so far devised
for' the marketing of grain. "A' plan
to better must be evolutionary, not revo
lutionary." he said. To attempt to
tear down ezisUng agencies, without
something economically better to sub
stitute would only result In chaos. Or
ganize and use the board of trade, don't
eliminate it" f e i

Trading: in futures, he contended, does
not fix prices. Values are regulated by
the law of supply and demand. r
Past experiences have proven, he add
ed, "that I neither capital nor labor can
organize against the best interests of
the American people, and It would be
futile for the farmers to attempt any
plan Intended to obtain more for their
wheat than Its actual value. The farm
er, however, is entitled to a fair profit
on his holdings." j
As soon as the centralized national
gram marketing plan is agreed upon, it
wlll .be referred to the -IS farm organiza
tions of the country, which the Commit
tee of 17 1 represents. Then a national
convention of fanners' organisations will
be held and the stamp of approval put
on the final system which the farmers
of the country will have devised for the
marketing; of their grain crop. .

People aren't in business for their health, and "sales" are only
put on where there's need of getting rid of out-of-season stock
or for some equally selfish reason.
In any case, the "nigger" is that prices are so repriced that the
man who buys first is made to pay for the man who buys last.
Consequently, under this system, you can never be sure, where
you get off at.
Notso with us! For eight years we have consistently main
tained our upstairs policy of large-volume, and rock -bottom
prices, so that already we dominate the men's clothing business
in the Norihwest. - - ; . . . ,
This is due entirely to public recognition of the fairness with
which we treat everybody all the time, by so pricing our mer
chandise at, the beginning that we are not forced to reprice it
at the end, and steadfastly refusing to favor some at the expense
of others. And the prices we ask are the best bargains any
where. ; - '!": ': .':'v':' :;--V;;;:-"- -
Vhen you remembeir that we sell only the best grade of cloth
ing at upstairs prices, in such large volume that our stock is
always up-to-date, you will understand the enthusiasm of our
thousands of satisfied customers, and want to join them right
away. : j " , i
Then you will enjoy two big things: First, complete satisfac
tion in quality, fit and price; and, second an individual saving
of $10 over ordinary prices on any garment in any of our three
great upstairs stores. 1
