It was a refreshing refuge to me after a BEAVER GAME IS : NEXT IN LINE to Pot Charges Through Hard Practice During Next Week Warren G. Harding's mother had the simplest, . most effectire, quick action method of getting "sleepy heads" out of bed in the morning I erer heard of. An eye-opener without a kick, that is what it wasone that would meet the approval of a, conven tion of Prohibitionists. t We found it more difficult to get up at the Harding family home than at the Star office. Those uncomfort able cots didn't encourage late break fasts. It was ' different at W. G.'s home. After one clear call, answered ' by the guttural note that Amreican mothers know so well, we were ex pected to get out. But ,of course: we didnt. That would hare been con trary to all "sleepy head" rules and regulations. We were giren a few minutes of grace and then, nothing doing, it happened. -Aeross our eye lids this resourceful woman drew a cold, wet cloth. The effect was magical. We never saw her coming into the room -we , were tod sleepy for that but we did see her backing out. smiling and bid ding us a gently-spoken "good morn ing." : - : ' ' ' - The "wets" may yearn ,for eye openers of doubtful merit, but this mother had the genuine article, war- ranted to work, and no hurtful after- the printing oirice. mata ' j Ux-tor, Nur, Comforter An All-Day Mother Krery Day J It was my good fortune to know In all the years I knew the family.

No man can ever par in fall the debt he owes a good mother. The best he can do is try. For fifteen Tears before her death, every Sunday morning. Warren Harding carried flowers to his mother. When he was oat of town an order was left with the florist for their delivery to the family home. There was one other boy. I knew him well, in the Harding home in Marion, the youngest child of the family. He has made good in medi cine. I am not commissioned to write about him. If I were and he was run ning for president. I mUht feel lin- censed to borrow the Caledonia ora cle's "little devil- phrase about W. G. and apply it to him. but with the utmost good will. This family lived in a splendid state of harmony. The children had all the fun any family of children could have in a well ordered home without encroaching on the rights of one another. The spirit of helpful ness was in the atmosphere. The mother governed with splendid exec utive ability and tranqnilized the whole household. Occasions for Ban ishment were rare. I am of the opin ion that Dr. Harding, the father, will not feel hurt If I give him the po sition of vice-president adding that nis ouice was held In greatest re spect Thre Larky Dogs , Much htk been sa:a about W. G.'s fondness fir dogs. With him every week la a "be kind to animals week." I recall three dogs that had their day with him. They were lucky dogs. They were Rink. Senator nd Jnmhn Kink was contemporaneous with the rouer nnk craze, but that had noth ing to do with his name. Senator was a dignified Newfwoundland that came along from nobody knew where and adopted W. Q. at first sight. He served faithfully at the Hardin home and at the Star office until bis day came to pass on. or bat. whatever u is a dog does when the breath of life leaves him. Jumbo as his name signifies, was a heavyweight, a eras between a masitff and sledge dog. He; was orougnt out of the north coun try- His day was eight rears. W. G.s love of dogs was not of me lander's affection. It was fond ness acquired in boyhood. He liked tnem for their affectionate faithful ness. which they always gave him In return for his unfailing kind treat menu The dog lovers side of the presidential candidate can hest be revealed through an editorial tribute he paid In the columns of his own paper, to the memory of Jumbo. Here ts a part of it: He had romped with hundreds of dinerents newsboys and found ca nine Joy in their familiar greetings. Yet there was a serious' side to this playful, good natured dog. He had a watchful eye for the suspicious look ing, and would guard a trust with a faithfulness that men might imitate. He was overiealous. perhaps, in ex ercising the responsibility he felt In keeping watch at the home which sheltered him. but he never harmed any one without cause. He was only a dumb-brute, but had proven the intelligence, made himself under stood with his great, tender eyes, and possessed a rare combination of dig nity and docility." If Warren G. Harding, Is elected president. I'm no prophet It there isn't a White House dog. (Copyright. 1S20, by N. Y. Evening Post, Inc.) Tomorrow Jack Warwick will tell of a blowup and an embarrassing rip. on an effort to have a game on August 22 with some team of which a defi nite announcement will be made next week. In the meantime members of the Salem team will take advantage of the lay-off and heal the sore spots and sore ringers, which some of the team suffered in the Kerr-Gifford game. It was said 'last night that a part of the time will be used to good advantage. The team will in dulge in practice and get ready for the biggest game of the season on the local lot. Some of the players aie going to sharpen their batting eyes by indulging in some bitting at Oxford park. Two Objects ia View. The Salem team now has only two objectives to win the Beaver game and to defend their claim on the state independent baseball cham pionship. To win over the coast houses In regard to the half holiday. or rather a quarter holiday between the hours of 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock lu the arternoon. Some of the fans were elated over the probability of the store-closing program, for. as one said, this Is one of the biggest sames of the year, and much de pends on the support which Salem fans will accord the teams. The Senators have already- Indicated their intention to give the ball fans of Salem the best ball obtainable, and some believe that the business men !Of Salem will do their part by en .couraging the half-holiday move ment so tht as many a desire may be enabled. to witness the game. league team, the Senators .realize will be quite a feather on their bon nets, and they say they are going to have the plume after the game on. August 23. Hitting practice Is on the calendar of Kracke for his charges for next week. High class twirling will be: displayed by the leaguers and It be hooves thw Senators to be prepared to dent the offerings of the mound- man. The Beaver-Senator game, fans tredlet,, will be one of the best games ever played in saiem. Tnc Beavers are sure to play at a fast clip, but the Senators are capable of extending themselves. Kracke says when they play on August 23 he is going to throw the Senator machine into high and step on the throttle for . a win. In a majority of the tames this season the Senators were leturned winners without as much as extending themselves. They won easily and in the ' parlance of the squared - ring, they .pulled their blows. Cloning Favored. . It has also been rumored that all business firms of the city are going Xo declare a half holiday to permit employes to witness the game.
