NEIGHBOR PRAISES HARDING HONESTY (By Benson Pratt) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) MARION, Ohio, Aug. 9.—Come over and rest a minute or two on the front porch of the Christian Home, a couple of squares out on Church street. The cooler himself is receiving—Col. George B. Christian, Sr., ask anyone here in Marion who knows more about Warren Harding than anybody else and he'll answer, "Col Christian." The fact is that the first time he saw "Warren," the late chief executive was a gagging farm lad of about 16 years. The colonel's son, George Christian Jr., was the private secretary to the president. The two families lived within a stones throw of each other. Let the Col. tell you himself something about this man who has just died and who is sincerely mourned by the nations of the world. "We got to talking one time about neopide being honest," the colonel starts. "Warren was always pretty much of a firm believer in everybody." "I was not sure about that end of human nature. You know you can't tell sometimes. Well, we tough back and forth for quite a spell. Finally Warren said, 'Colonel, I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll get 10 plain envelopes, put a dollar bill in each and address them to the Marion Star. Then we'll drop these all around in the place and see what happens." "That's what we did. Well, sir, how many do you suppose came back?" The colonel pauses to give you all the time you want to deliberate. You guess—wrong. "Well, sir, seven of 'em came back and Warren was right pleased. We figured out that the others perhaps had fallen into the hands of young-streets who didn't know any better." The colonel knew Warren G. Harding pretty well. "Most honest man FAILS TO DIVORCE HUSBAND NO. 1 SO WIFE LOSES NO. 2 Mrs. Charlotte Cheatham Mayo.

We figured out that the others perhaps had fallen into the hands of young-streets who didn't know any better." The colonel knew Warren G. Harding pretty well. "Most honest man I ever saw," he comments. "If I was going to write an epitaph for him I'd just say, 'An Honest Man is the Noblest Work of God' and let it go at that. He was honest all the way thru. One time there was a company going into difficulty here and we tried to save it by underwriting it. Warren took $10,000 worth of the stock himself because he wanted to help, and in the belief that friends of his would take part of the stock. He didn't have $500 himself." "He had to go to Columbus as state senator at that time. When he got back he found that some of the others who had taken stock had seen the men that he was going to see, left him with $10,000 worth of the stock on his hands. Later the company went under. Warren worked and worked until he got that all paid off. Couldn't rest uptill he did." Mrs. Charlotte Cheatham Mayo.

No wonder. They are emphatically the most compelling values Studebaker ever offered and the public knows that Studebaker has been a consistent leader, year after year, in the amount of intrinsic value per dollar invested. The Big-Six Sedan and the Coupe are the finest cars that have ever borne the name Studebaker. They provide all the performance, all the comfort, and all the dependability that any car will give—at a price that smaller producers cannot approach. Everything for which one can wish in motoring convenience, comfort and utility has been provided—even to the extra disc wheel with tire, tube and tire cover (two on Sedan); handsome nickel-plated bumpers; front and rear; large, roomy trunk; automatic gasoline signal, and many other features. There is nothing more to buy. The prices of the Sedan and Coupe are moderate because of Studebaker's large production, vast physical and financial resources; the manufacture of all vital parts in Studebaker plants, and the accumulation of experience and prestige gained through 71 years of building quality vehicles. 1924 MODELS AND PRICES—f.o.b. factory LIGHT-SIX 5-Pass., 112' W.

Terms to Meet Your Convenience STUDEBAKER HARRY D. RILEY 151 South Los Angeles Street Anaheim, THIS IS A STUDEBAKER YEAR SEEK DIAMOND IN TRIPLE KILLING BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Aug. 9.—The $3,000 diamond ring worn by John H. Wills, 74, wealthy farmer, before he killed his wife, Ella, 68, and Mrs. Maggie M. Stewart, 52, said to be "the other woman," was sought today by police as an additional link in the chain of strange circumstances that led to the triangular killing. The large solitaire was worn by Wills when he told his nephew, Charlea Riddell, to send someone to a spot five miles from town last night to bring back Mrs. Stewart's body, which was found near a railroad bridge in a clump of bushes. Wills had gone to the Stewart home in his car and had taken Mrs. Stewart, who was a wife and a grandmother, for a ride, supposedly to a grocer. Two hours later he appeared and told his nephew where to find the body. Shortly later neighbors told police of shots in the Wills apartment, where the body of the slayer and his wife were found. Mrs. Willa is said to have quarreled recently with her husband because he refused to give up the other woman. Wills came to Battle Creek from Hunnewell, Kana., three years ago. He was reputed to have an 1800-acre farm and oil well property in Oklahoma. CAUTION VETERANS ABOUT HOMESTEADS LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.—World war veterans expecting to take homestead lands recently opened in San Bernardino and San Diego-cos. are due for a rude surprise, officials of the Los Angeles Co. said today. Prospective homesteaders are said to have been advised by officials to make a careful investigation of the lands before making an entry, because of its "impossible" character. The officials said that the proposed homesteads are mountainous, arid, isolated and with little prospect of production man Mike Burrows. The Laneta Oil Company's No. 1 well on which the future of the southern section of Santa Fe Springs depends continues to look good and is believed to have sufficient oil sand to make a commercial well. At 4800 the sandy shale is carrying oil. Lenses of oil sand have occurred frequently from 4600 to 4800. C. O. Julian is not banking on his No. 8 making much of an oil well and has told his backers not to expect much from it. The drilling is past the 4900 foot mark and the best that the well has had has been only slight showings. Julian cannot help but be admired for the straight forward, above board manner in which he is conducting his operations.
