HARDING SAYS
MORE SHIPS
Would Make U. S. a
Greater Maritime
Power.
Norfolk, Va.—One of the first acts of
iPresidcnt-elect Harding after his ar
rival here was to go to the people di
rectly, and in an address at the Acad
emy of Muse at Newport News he
asked for help in solving the peculiarly
difficult problems which he said con
fronted the incoming administration.
He said frankly he did not blame the
outgoing administration for the her
itage of such problems; these were the
heritage of a world in tumult for five
years.
He emphasized in his addresses today
also the importance of America bend
ing all her energies toward becoming a
greater maritime natioo. This has been
impressed uuon him in his travels in
southern waters and in bis study of the
■canal zone possibilities. Interwoven
in the development of trade routes to
the sea, he thinks, is the greater influ
ence which America can exert toward
fraternity and peace among the nations.
He said he wanted this country to give
its influence toward such ends, but re
iterated bis old campaign pledge that
be never would mortgage this country
or permit any ofher nation to dictate
in matters of national conscience. His
View of the navy yard ships in the bay
and recent study of the defects ia canal
;zone defenses led him to say today that
while he stood for partial disarmament
■and hoped the common sense of the
■nations would lead in this way. he
would insist on a navy strong enough
to defend at all times the commerce
whish he sees in the future for this
Country. '
The league of'nations idea still ap
pears to be secb'iVflary in his mind to
the task of building a greater, self
reliant America;' tie asked for help in
formulating the international policy of
■his administration in the building of a
hew league, and said again he was
willing to have America take the lead
'In such a world movr.

LINCOLN DAYi
AT SCHOOL
Sand Table Replica of
Lincoln Home—The
Kusko Cash Store.
McGrath school ^celebrated Lincoln’s
biat.hday on Moada«, as the 12th fell
on Saturday.
The sand table was arranged as a
model of Lincoln’s log cabin home,
with rail fences, well curb, with wheel
and bucket for drawing water.
The cabin was a replica of the Lin
home, even to fireplace.
Among other interesting features
noted was the Kusko Cash Store con
ducted by children, the pupils taking
their turn in acting as merchant. The
various articles on sale were taken
from advertisements in magazines, ihe
illustrated counterfeit looking like the
genuine article, these imitations being
mounted on heavy paper for supplies.
Vegetables and fruits, breakfast foods,
hams, bacon, juices, extracts, and a
thousand and one other articles weee
seemingly in stock—the work of the
children.
The storekeeper uses sales slips and
keeps « cash account, like othe.- well
regulated concerns, and on the day of
our visit the merchant, Master Meivin
Heiuo, was having considerable trouble
accounting far 50 eents over, but, even
like some grownups, was inclined to
argue that it was better to fee over
than short, forgetting for the moment
that the ‘‘money’’ of some “poor” pur
chaser might ba resting in the till of
the Kusko Cash Store.
The pupils were put through their
puces in reading, arithmetic, etc , in
all of which exercises they did remark
ably well. In the minor mathematical
problems given on the "‘blackboard”
the little ones had their answers just
about as soon as the visiting newspaper
man.
Nels Pearson spent one day in town,
leaving for home <on Tuesday.
