TjRKSIDKNT HARDING'S prent strmijrtli li.-t in liis sincerity of
A feeding. In (lie realm of the intellect, ill the cold exercise of
sheer bruin power, he can not compare with the president who pre
ceded hiin, but in the realm of the heart, in the warm atmosphere of
fienuiiie human emotion, he stands alone.
This power of feeling, this essential honesty and integrity of spirit
rose to heights of real greatness in his impressive speech today at the
war pier in llobokcu. One might find a certain inconsistency in the
solemn prelude, "It must not he again," and the subsequent ndinis
sioii that it can be, that the iiiillenium is not here, that wars have
not ceased.
Hut that very inconsistency merely gives emphasis to the quality
which distinguishes the address. I'residciit Harding, before the af
fecting spectacle was as he admitted, struck by a thousand sorrows.
It was not his brain, but his heart that first responded.
"It must not be again !" that was the spontaneous expression of a
sincere soul in anguish. Through everything he said, that note pre
dominated, that such sorrow, that such sacrifice, should never again
be demanded.
And his hearers must, have felt that appeal, as the country feels
i'. There is nothing of the actor in Harding, nothing of the conscious
artist. He is never the victim of words, hi! is onlv the victim of feel
ing. And it is this feeling, so vibrant in this speech, so apparent' in
nil the president's acts and sayings that is slowly but surely binding
the rank and file of the country to him.
Gradually the country is coming to know that a very human, a
very sincere, a very honesl man is occupying the White House. He
may err in judgment, he may fail in specific avenues of leadership
he may and probably will, for all presidents have, lose the per
sonal popularity he now enjoys, but through it all and after all,
there is a conviction that the integrity of his purpose will never be
lowered, that the genuine consecration of his spirit to his country's
welfare, will never falter.
And that is a good deal. Il is more than a mere acknowledgement
that the president is amiable and well meaning. It is a symbol of
public affection and friendship. It does not mean that I'residciit
Harding is more unselfishly devoted to his country than other presi
dents have been, all presidents in their way have been that, hut
it means that he has that rare human quality, which, as the saying
fcoes, gets over, which leaps the spaces of impersonality and some
how, someway enters the hearts of his countrymen, and makes them
friends. "
Probably this is the most, valuable quality a president could posses.
It is a quality which one feels will carry IUr. Harding safely over
the many rough places which are certain to be encountered later on.

Tlio farmer of today is n.3
much of n business man ns any
other and figures tilings out
from that standpoint.
Suppose ho owns a lGO-ncro
farm valued lit $100 per nrro
and this farm is mortgaged for
$8,000.
Tho liquidation of that mort
gage besides making a living for
the family depends on him. If
ho lives he will carry out his
contract.
Death may ovcrtako hint be
fore he completes tho contract,
A $10,000 policy payable to his
estate would clear the indebted
ness besides leaving ready cash
for funeral and administration
expenses.
Indebtedness1 not so protected
by insurance generally causes
the disposal of the farm often
at u sacrifice in order to raise
cash.
Additional insurance should
also be carried payable to tho
wife. Cash value can be used to
provide additional comforts for
old age if the farmer lives.

Maxwell Prices
Reduced
New Organization, Taking Full Control,
Turns Prices Back Three Years
The last step in the Maxwell reorganization was the sale of the Max
well properties to the new and "powerful organization, May 12.
The first step of the new organization was to raise the value of the good
Maxwell still higher, by restoring prices to the former low level of 1918.
The reduction is $150, on each of the four models, effective at once.
This is the second price revision made by the new organization; and the
;total reduction from the high level, sinceSept. 28, 1920, has been $310
on open cars and $350 on closed cars. " ' ' '
I What this latest action means, literally, is turning back Maxwell ; '
prices to the basis of 1918.
I The truth is that the good Maxwell today is a better car than it was
i three years ago. .
i It has been given a new goodness, by lowering costs, by increasing plant
efficiency, and by greatly improving the manufacturing practices.
The new organization now owns the great Maxwell plants outright.1
Its way is clear to carry out ih full its larger plans and policies.
It pledges itself never to stop working for the further betterment of
the good Maxwell, and for the greater satisfaction of present and future
owners of this good car.
