and answered the burst of cheer
ing he was greeted by. by saying
in his quiet snd unassuming way,
“I thank you, boys” and he

It wasn’t much of a visit to be
sure, but the sight of the next
chief executive of America,
standing bareheaded and smiling
into the faces of that little greup
of Alvin admirers, will live leng
in the memory of those there.
It is not often a president conies
this way, especially a Republican
one, and the impression made by
Mr Harding as he left the little
city of Alvin behind him was
that of a big man with a big
heart and mind and just a pliin
“howdy” American citizen. And
