there are a certain number of
mothers who fail to respond to
the spirit of motherhood. The
fact that every instance attracts
so much attention only proves the
rarity of such occurrences. There
are mothers who must tighten up
on their home Influences. There
are thousands of mothers -who are
following the even tenor of their
beautiful lives. We must lend a
hand to educating these dereHct
mothers. We must1 understand
that the brotherhood of the world
Is real, and while it Is not your

More outlawing of war means
only the raising of a big stick.
There must be back of it a senti

of the country to realize that war
is murder. . In the last analysis;

The whole matter is bound to be gone over again, now,

At twelve o'clock today the final
' obsequies of President, Harding
r will be held, after a week of in
tense mourninc. ! a 'week of na-
tlonal introspection. We . have
v "come to know the late president
- more intimately IJn the: last: ten
daya than ever before. True, the
; west made his personal" acquaint
s " ance in the famous trip which
; t cost him, his life, but Hardlnc. the
' man. has 'made an appeal the like
': ot which was entirely unexpected:
We knew he was human, we knew
1 he was "Just folks." but we did
not know that large, pleasing; per
. 'i sonality Which Washington tias
enjoyed the last two years. Presl-
'j ; dent Harding wat elected presi
dent largely as a ipolltician. He
, could unite the factions in a nom
...lnating convention, and in eon
- - sequence was the nominee ot the
republican party.
The country generally failed to
take the proper measure of the
president the first two years. It
failed, to see that he had met ;the
challenge of the great hour and
grown : constantly In Intellectual
strength. Washington . knew that
Harding bad become a statesman!
The country has only found this
out In the last month, and most
of the information has come tinea

henceforth, his memory will be
loved whereas in lite, he was only
highly respected. His party came
near losing the election last year
because the voters did not under
stand and appreciate ' the magni
tude of the work that was being
done in the executive offices at
Washington. The western trip re
vealed the 'real Harding to the
people, "and had he lived, the west
would have rallied strongly to his
support. There would have been
no question as to his nomination.
and we know now very little as to
his election. ' The nation is bury

Now that you have your pup

many plays as you wish. All yoy
have to do is to dress your doll

THE GIRLS AND. THE SHEIKS
The mayor of Portland said a
vise thing when he. declared that
too many mothers were expecting
the police to rear their children.
How any sane girl can take up
with a poor, miserable, painted
effigy and then be dominated by
that ; thing. Is beyond comprehen
sion. - They do it, however, which
indicates that the state must ex
ercise parental authority. T
The sheik disclosures lend color

"As for belne

I, know one thing! That Is. that In
the good old days no one would
even look at any of the rest of
you if 1 were around."
' 'Oh, you all make me tired."
Daisy tossed her proud head in
the sun. "I guess it isn't so hard
to tell who is the most beautiful
flower." There was not the least
doubt ; in Daisy's mind but' that
it was herself.
"Come come, let's don't quar
rel," Pansy begged. 'I'll tell you
how we can settle this question
and find out which of us is the
most beautiful." Pansy stroked
her soft, yellow, velvet dress, very
well satisfied. Secretly,- of
course, she believed that she
was the prettiest flower, but Pah-

Poppy tossed her head. She
wasn't b sure of It. "Personal

much faith in an old maid's taste."
But Pansy was very popular with
all the flowers and so after much
discussion they decided to follow
her plan.
And that is the reason there
