the white headstones that |
mark the earthly beds of his
friends, there was laid to rest

ing, twenty-ninth president of

Many of theoat who sur-

He was buried in the role that
he loved best-—as a prive citiz-
en mourned by the friends and
neighbors of a life-time. I
Throughout the day, a strangsj
unreal day for the little town!
he helped to build, these same]
friends and neighbors had
passed by his bier in an endless
line and mourned sincerely his
going.
The great and the small of
the Nation were there, gather-
ed in a great semi-circle around
the vault that is to hold all that
Is earthly of him.
The new president of the Un-
ited States was there, cabinet
members, supreme court jus-
tices, senators and representa-
tives, and they rubbed elbows,
under the levelling influence of
death, with these of Warren
Harding’s friends, whose cloth
ing and appearance denoted a
life o ftoil and not much pecun-
iary success. They gathered
there together in a mutuality
of reverence and sorrow over
the passing of one whose high-
est professwjd ambition in life
had ever been to be a good
friend and a good neighbor, an 1
who bore the reputation in his
home town of having attained
his ambition.
Net many tramps and holioes
heard from lately. It is not
safe for them to appear when
work is so plentiful,
Pretty hgrd outlook for a
politician to get re-elected, if
they can show he voted for the
interest of the whole country
instead of for his own district.

LARGEST POULTRY
FARM IN THE WORLD
] Perhaps many Texans are uti-
] aware that the largest poultry
farm in the world is located
(near Bowie. Thje farm was
j started in 1904 on a few town
j lots by M. Johnson with five
| white Leghotro hens and now
| consists of 850. acres, all de-
; voted to the poultry1 business
j and more than 60,000 stock
fowls. There are 174 biuldings
| on the ranch which represent
j a cash outlay of $100,00. There
are miles and miles of fencing
and five milch of water pipe
line. Twelve employes gather
eggs, feed the hens, look after
baby chicks and do other vyork
about the ranch and their
monthly payroll amounts to
$1,600. More than 400,00 baby
chicks, worth $600,000 were
shipped from the farm last
year to markets all over the
world, in addition to hundreds
of birds shipped for breeding
stock.
