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-

hers!
Mrs. Phoebe Harding died ten
years ago.
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

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.

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

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

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. A
definite announcement will be made
soon of the action of the business
