PAGE FOUR HIDING MB! GREETS TOURISTS Granite Boulder With Bronze Tablet Placed Along Santa Fe Trail in Kansas HUTCHINSON, Kas„ August 12. •—A memorial ot granite with a bronze tablet, set in a little sur rounded park by a three-foot stone wall ,marks the spot o na farm near here where the late President Hard ing shocked grain under a broiling sun in June, 1923, when on the trans-continental trip that was brought to an end by his death. The memeorial was dedicated August 2, the anniversary of his death. It was on the Chester O’Neil wheat farm, eight miles west of Hutchinson, that the late President shocked grain in the “Ohio way,” as he expressed it to Senator Arthur Capper and Gov. Jonathan M. Davis of Kansas, who previously had show ed the Kansas way of doing it. Then Mr. Harding drove a harvest ing machine several time sabout the field, so the ‘newspaper boys could have a story,” as Mrs. Harding said. The President and party had been farm by a litte group of country folks, among them several children. With them the President and Mrs. Harding chatter freely, the Presi dennt taking some of the children in his arms. These childreen and oth ers of Reno county, by contribu tions of nickels and dimes, raised the fund to erect the memorial. A bit of ground at the entrance |o the field was donated by Mr. (O’Neal and a pretty little park was hid out, with shubbery, blue grass and a surrounding stone wall. Here on the top of Rayl Hill, where thousands of tourists pass on the paved highway that is a part of the New Santa Fe trail, the memoiial will stand. Atop a flag staff the American flag will fly daily, for t|ie children of the Rayl school have obligated themselves to be custo dians of the colors, to see that the flag is raised and lowered each djay.

PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE IS SUPREME NEED,SAYS DAVIS Democratic Presidential Nomi nee Charges Republicans With ’Widespread Corruption’ CLARKSBURG, W. Va., (By The Associated Press) Aug. 12. — The supreme need of the hour is to bring back to the people confidence in their government, John W. Davis declared last night in his address accepting trie Democratic Presiden tial nomination. Formally putting under way the national campaign of 1924, he in dicted the Republican pasty “in its organized capacity for having shak en public confidence to its very foundations,” and laid against lit these specific charges: ‘Having exhibited deeper anc. more widespread corruption than any that this generation of Ameri cans has been called upon to witness. “Complacency in the face of that corruption and with ill will towards the efforts of honest men to expose it. “Gross favoritism to the privileg ed and utter disregard of the un privileged. “Indifference to world peace and timidity in the conduct of foreign affairs. “Disorganization, division and in coherence.” Declaring that on the record he would ask the voters of the country to pass judgment of condemnation, “as a warning to all men who aspire to public office, that dis honesty, either in thought, word or deed, will not be tolerated in Ameri ca,” Mr. Davis said the Democratic party was prepared to Offer in ex change a “program based on Demo cratic principles and guaranteed by a record of Democratic perform ance.” The chief things to which he pledged himself were: An honest, in/partial, and, so far as human wisdom will permit, a just government. Opposition to any challenge—“or ganized or unorganized, under what ever name or in whatever charac ter it may appear”—of the Consti tutional guarantees of religious freedom. Enforcement of all laws, includ ing the Prohibition Amendment and statutes enacted under it. Agricultural aid through revision of the tariff; governmental assist ance in extending the cooperative marketing principle and by other means. Reduction in taxation and revision of the tariff. Economy in government, but net of the kind that deprives govern ment employes of pay equal to that they would receive from private em ployers for similar work. Approval of the World Court. Cooperation officially with all legitimate endeavors, whether from the League of Nations or from any other source, to lessen the prospect of war; to aid in repairing the ravages of past wars; to promote disarmament and to advance the well being of mankind. To maintain the means of ade quate national defense “until reason is permitted to take the place of force.” In opposition to the impairment, "either by injupction or by any other device” of the rights of labor to organize and to bargain collec tively for “an adequate wage earned under healthful conditions.” The protection of women and children from human greed and un equal laws. Prevention of child labor and sup pression of the illicit traffic in soul destroying drugs. Conservation of all of the natural resources of the country. Grateful care” to ths “veterans of our wars, especially to those who "ere stricken and wounded in the 666 £ • P re » c ripti°n for Malaria, Chills and Fever, Dengue or Bil ious Fever. It kills the germs. A J rtf dUF M h JOHN W. DAVIS country’s service and whose confi dence has been so cruelly and cor ruptly abused.” Finally, Mr. Davis said he entered the campaign free from pledge or promise to any man and would “hold it so to the end.” Also he declared that when it became neces sary to raise funds for the conduct of the campaign they would be con tributed “with this understanding and this only: that neither the Dem ocratic party nor I as its leader have any favors for sale.” Expressing in general terms his approval of the proposals contained in the platform adopted by the con vention which nominated him, the candidate said he could not be ex pected at this moment to discuss them in detail or to outline the methods by which they are to be carried into effect. “There will be time enough for that,” he said. For the aid of the farmer, Mr. Davis said the Democrats proposed to see to it that the discriminations which the tariff makes against him shall be removed; that this govern ment by doing its share toward a European settlement shall help to revive and enlarge his foreign mark ets; that the forces of government shall be put actively to work to lend assistance to endeavors of extending the principle of cooperative market ing; that when widespread distress has overtaken him, every power which the government enjoys under the Constitution shall be exerted in iiis aid. “He is entitled, too, to demand an adequate service of transportation at a reasonable rates,” the candidate said. “In spite of the fai’ures and short comings of existing laws, this is an ideal which I can not believe to be beyond the reach of attain ment.” PARKS MURDER TRIAL TO START NOVEMBER 7 DAWSONVILLE, August 12.-- The trial of H.

HUNT WASHINGTON, August 12.—- Washington is no summer resort. Through many weeks each year the capital city stews in a humid heat that saps the energy and frazzles the nerves. At such times bureau chiefs and department heads have a habit of finding important government busi ness calling them elsewhere. Dip lomats, beins less diplomatic, frankly pack their portfolios and portmanteaux and seek cooler spots. But for many thousands of gov ernment workers, no such opportu nity to dodge the sizzling dog-days can be found. To offset this situation for the stay-at-homes, the workers who must carry on the government’s business while the bosses are away, Uncle ’Sam has provided what is probably the most extensive and varied recreational lay-out to be found in any city, anywhere. * * ♦ Inside the 73 square miles of the District of Columbia there are no less than 505 “government reserva tions,” ranging from small grass plots of a few hundred square feet to Potomac and Rock Creek parks, the latter containing 1700 acres. And on all the larger of these reservations, play spaces have been set aside and facilities provided for almost any kind of outdoor sport that can be imagined. Swimming, golfing, boating, base ball, tennis, football and basket ball are of course provided. Those are the standard brands of recrea tion provided in most public play places. But in addition to these, Wash ington also offers its tired work ers a cricket field, two polo fields, la crosse fields, a hurling ball field, and archery court, volley ball courts, hockey fields, soccer fields, quoit courts and a general athletic field. * * * For golf alone ther e are no less than four courses, two of nine holes and two of 18. There are 52 public tennis courts and 17 baseball diamonds. And in addition to the public bathing beach in the tidal basin, there is, near the Washington monument, a juvenile swimming pool. According to the records, golf is the most popular sport in the capi tal, 277,7-77 players having checked in on the public links last year. Swimming comes second, with 175,- 130, and tennis third with 95,000. Croquet—we almost forgot the croquet courts-r—provided th e thrills for 5928 of the less strenuously inclined. ( « * » The next extension of the pub lic play program of the capital may be the inauguration of public rid ing stables, to provide mounts for folks w’ho would like to ramble on horseback along th e District’s bridle paths. There are already more than 50 miles of these bridle paths, but to date they have been “exclusive.” Only folks who own their own mounts, or who can afford the high charges assessed by private riding academies, have been able to en joy theip. Col. C. O. Sherill, in charge of public grounds, now recommends that cavalry horses, superannuat ed from active service, be utilized to stock a stable near one of the parks, from which they can be rented at a nominal sum to the public. If that is done, the last “exclu sive” recreation of the capital will have been made common property! But Uncle Sam believes good players make good workers and no oart of his public expenditure is figured as returning better divi dends than those dollars put into providing public recreation.

IMOGEHE W SHE OUIT; WJ EM) Blond Beauty Whose Name is Linked With Tinney’s Says She ‘Made Mistake’ NEW YORK, August 12.—“1t seems that I’m being made the goat of a farce comedy. Somebody is trying to get some cheap bene fit out of my affairs.” Imogen Wilson the slender blonde girl who used to cavot in the Follies chorus and has occupied the front pages of the public prints along with Frank Tinney for the last two months, or more, was de fiant Wednesday. She was in her apartment at the fashionable Ambassador Hotel, not swollen-eyed, nor down-hearted over the departure Tuesday of Frank for London dance halls, but determined “to tell a few true fact sabout the messy business she finds herself in.” “Perhaps I have done a lot of things 1 should not have dope,” she admitted, “but we all make mistakes and the truth hasnt been told yet.” Flo Ziegfeld announced Wed nesday that Imogene had been dropped from the Follies®’ kicking line because she just wouldn’t let Frank Tinney alone. “Indeed, I was not fired,” de clared Imogene, drawing herself up to regal heights... “I tuld >Mr. Zieg feld a week ago that I was leaving because 1 had anotheer engagement. How could he fire me if 1 had al ready left? We are still very goed friends and he has been awfully nice to me all through my troubles.” ‘ - But Flo had another story. “Miss Wilson promised me after her suicide party and subsquent assault suit she brought against Tinney that she would not have anything more to do with him,” he said. “But when she went down t>.» the boat yesterday to tell him good by, she broke that promise. “She has brought us a lot of un pleasant notoriety. And I’m afraid she would have a bad effect on the Follies’ girls if she stayed.” BOOTLEGGERS ABROAD PAYING HIGH PRICES GLASGOW, Scotland, August 12 —Seven hundred and fifty thousand gallons of Scotch whiskey recently changed hands in Glasggow in one deal.

Because of its germ destroying properties, noth ing has ever been found to take the place of this sulphur preparation that instantly brings ease from the itching, burning and irritation. Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right up, leaving the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment or disfigurement. A little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur may be ob- 1 tained at any drug store. It is used 1 like cold cream. i w TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 12,19 close of the war.

This is reported to be one of many big sales effected by on cerns which are consolidating whis key stockks for export, especially to North America. Glasgow and Liv erpool are now exporting direct to America, the trans-shipment at the Bahamas and other points having been abandoned to avoid duties and other charges. MARIE TEMPEST, OLD FAVORITE, ACCLAIMED LONDON, August 12. London critics are hailing with acclaim the return of Marie Tempest to musical comedy after an absence of 25 years in straight comedy roles. Her ' recent appearance in a comedy j fantasy occasioned an ovation on her every entry, and after the close 'of the last act Miss Tempest was kept on the stage for 15 minutes while the audience, English audi ences are the most conservative in the world, expressed it appreciation by a gale of handclapp'ng, car e pounding and shouting. So overcome was Miss Tempest at her reception that once, during th? second act, -«h e completely forgot her lines, "Jind was fotcefl to im provise for she con fessed at the eloge of stfiekj evening. London critics said that the enthusi asm with which she was hailed was memorable. Miss Tempest who. is 58 years old first appeared on the stage in “Boccacio,” in 1885. • Good to the Last Drop W (* 7 ' SK<'> -'. jfeisill' ROMANCE lies Within the cir cle of your cup of Maxwell House.
