A spark which upward tends by Nature's force; A stream divided from its parent source; A drop dissevered from the boundless sea; A moment, parted from eternity; A pligrim, panting for the rest to come; An exile, anxious for his native home. —Hannah More. PRESIDENT IN PRAISE OF AMERICAN BOYS A picturesque incident of President Harding's Fourth of July was his christening of a rowboat made by a nine-year old boy—son of Senator Frerlinghuyssen of New Jersey, at whose home the President was a guest. This typical American boy planned and built the boat, nine feet over all. In christening the little craft President Harding entered earnestly and wholeheartedly into the boy spirit. To have done otherwise would have made the whole proceeding a mockery. For boys are not to be fooled by insincerity, half-heartedness or affectation. The man who would win the heart of a boy must be able and willing and eager to project himself in feeling, impulse and viewpoint, into the realm of boyhood. This President Harding did. And this little one sentence christening speech was a fine tribute to the ingenuity, enterprise and aspirations of the American boy; for he made the christening "an a tribute to American boyhood, who builds castles in the air, who build boats and whose achievements in the future will build this country." The boy dreamer; the boy achiever; the boy patriot developed to adulthood and citizenship — these were comprehended in the Presidential speech. Boys should have their President is also given authority to negotiate commercial treaties providing for reduction of duties, or the complete elimination of duties, on specified commodities, subject to ratification by congress. Provision is also made for reduction of duties on automobiles with a view to obtaining corresponding reductions by France and other countries of duties on American cars. Canned goods also are to be relieved by reductions in duties to, induce South American countries to repel high duties of American canned products. Other reciprocal features in the measure should tend to bring conditions favorable for the expansion of America's trade in foreign countries. To this phase of tariff legislation members of congress give considerable attention now. While maintaining the principle of adequate tariff protection, yet it is realized that only by reciprocal concessions can this country enjoy the volume of foreign demand for its products which is necessary to make production profitable in the United States. FRANCE IS RENEWING ITS ECONOMIC LIFE Observant Americans who journey through France come back with glowing accounts of the amazing progress the French people are making in reconstructive activities. One of these Americans, enthusiastic over the present and future of France, is James S. Douglas, copper mining magnate, who has been in Los Angeles, after returning from a trip to the overseas republic. The French are making great strides in agriculture and in other industries, says Mr. Douglas. "The entire nation is as busy as a hive of bees," he says. The resilience of the French character is demonstrated in nation. No nation or people has suffered so much utter destructiveness in war since ancient Carthage was destroyed by the greatest empire of that period. The appalling ruin coupled with the ghastliness that element of the city also unsurpulous, with fraudulent machines resentative caucasus by which delegation bought and sold national conventions.

This "example peoples living side in confidence and in standing" was promised President to be "a man contribution that two give to the world." From Mr. Harding's his words on this occasion—I have said that lore were as honest and republic, there would other war. I will rite that if all the natio fish and devoted to the United States an never will be another The boy dreamer; the boy achiever; the boy patriot developed to adulthood and citizenship — these were comprehended in the Presidential speech. Boys should have their time for building on this in the air; indeed, they never should wholly grow out of this castle building. For any man and every man does better and accomplishes more if he have dreams — if he persists in rearing magnificent dream castles in the insubstantial air. But this form of building never should supplant real constructiveness—the ideal, the visual, should supplement and inspire the real achievement. The dream should be a means to the end, not the end itself. RECIPROCAL FEATURES OF TARIFF BILL There are reciprocity provisions in the tariff bill which should be beneficial to this country's foreign trade. By the terms of one of these provisions the President may reduce rates as much as 20 per cent in return for special favors granted the United States by a foreign country. The resilience of the French character is demonstrated in nation. No nation or people has suffered so much utter destructiveness in war since ancient Carthage was destroyed by the greatest empire of that period. The appalling ruin coupled with the ghastly loss of life, which the great conflict entailed upon France, would have daunted a weak spirited people and brought them to despair. But now, within less than three years of the ending of hostilities, France is regaining its feet, economically, and its head is erect and its spirit is unbroken. REPUBLICANS CLEAN UP SOUTH'S SCANDAL The Republican National Committee, boldly assailing the vexing circumstances and scandalous conditions surrounding the choosing of delegates to national conventions from Southern states, have adopted rules which it is hoped and believed will eliminate the corrupt methods of choosing and controlling delegates from the South. This corruption has not been confined to one race alone. In truth, the greatest blame for corrupt conditions lies with unscrupulous white men who preying upon BUICK THE universal confidence of Buick owners in their Buick cars is the best testimonial of Buick worth.

A rule, adopted by the epublican National Committee, provides that "only legal and qualified Voters shall participate in a Republican primary, caucus, mass meeting or mass convention for the purpose of selecting delegates to a county district or state convention; only such legal and unqualified voters shall be elected as delegates to county district and state conventions." Enforcement of this rule will purge Southern delegations of corrupt and unrepresentative delegates. The correctional rules just adopted are expected additionally to reduce the disproportionate representation from the South in Republican national conventions. Premium is being put upon those states which give Republican majorities, and they are to be given larger proportional representation. U. S. AND CANADA GIVE AN EXAMPLE TO THE WORLD The remarkable and inspiring friendship between the United States and the Dominion of Canada was used by President Harding, in a commencement address, to illustrate what may be accomplished in pertaining peace between peoples that really desire to live in friendly accord. This "example of the two great peoples living side by side in peace, in confidence and in mutual understanding" was pronounced by the President to be "about the finest contribution that two nations could give to the world." To quote more from Mr. Harding's utterances—for his words on this occasion were very significant— I have said that if all the nations were as honest and unselfish as our republic, there would never be another war. I will revise it and say that if all the nations are as unselfish and devoted to their ideals as the United States and Canada, there never will be another war.

I will revise it and say that if all the nations are as unselfish and devoted to their ideals as the United States and Canada, there never will be another war. I call attention to the fact that the United States and Canada have settled their controversies satisfactorily without resort to a super-power, but by the exercise of the sovereignty of free peoples dealing with one another. If we can commit civilized humanity to abiding righteousness and everlasting justice and inspire them with our example, we will have made a long stride toward the peace the world craves. This is, indeed, an eloquent tribute to the principles and ideals which, thought more than one hundred years of duration, have kept the United States and Canada at profound peace, with no frowning fortifications between them—with no thought of aggression on either side of the border. It is indeed a sublime and inspiring example for the world." Keeping inwardly cool and placid assists in keeping cool outwardly, when temperatures are high.

The custom of planting a cross in token of possession was established at the very beginning. When Columbus first landed in America he planted the cross on the beach, observed from a distance by the wondering natives. When sailing for the king of England, John Cabot rediscovered America and Newfoundland in 1497, and planted the cross on the newly found land in token of possession. When Cabral, commanding a Portuguese fleet, reached the mainland of South America in 1500, he raised a cross in token of possession and named the land Santa Cruz, which means Holy Cross. When sailing for the king of England, John Cabot rediscovered America and Newfoundland in 1497, and planted the cross on the newly found land in token of possession. When Cabral, commanding a Portuguese fleet, reached the mainland of South America in 1500, he raised a cross in token of possession and named the land Santa Cruz, which means Holy Cross. We may suppose safely that the first French navigators to reach the New World performed the act of possession in the same way; so that Spaniards, Englishmen, Portuguese and Frenchmen came planting the cross in token of possession in the names of Christ and their separate kings. Much could be told of that strange ceremony, which the Indians, of course, did not understand. Christians of that day invested the cross with many wonderful and magic attributes. In the Spanish history of that time, not discredited yet in Spain, is a story illustrating this point; and we will briefly outline it here. It is said that a cross was raised in Santo Domingo in the West Indies by the first expedition of Columbus, and after the Spaniards were gone the Indians tried to throw the cross down, and though many Indians combined their efforts they could not budge it. Then they laid wood around it in preparation to burn it, it is said, and at that juncture a beautiful lady, the apparition of the Virgin Mary, appeared and drove the Indians away from the sacred cross. In modern history we find a custom similar to this Token of Possession. We refer to the claims of manufacturers for their products. Each are apt to proclaim their make of article superior to all others. Tests of usage, however, prove or disprove the justness of their claims and possession remains with the fittest. The new Savage Cord tire is fit and claims superiority proven by performance. It is Built to Excel. SAVAGE CORD GE" TIRE CO.
