Rev. H. G. McClusky of First Pres
byterian Church, Pays Tribute
to the Fallen Leader.
Mrs. C. H. Baker, their daughter-in
law, being a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ledxeway.
This was their first visit to this)
portion of Nebraska and the visitors
were delighted with the wonaenui
country that comprises this section,
the beautiful hills and the very fer
tile farming country that lies to the
south and west of the city, and which
is vastly different from their home
in Kansas.
In speaking of Canada, Mr. and
Mrs. Baker state that there will be
a very fine wheat crop this year on
the two sections of land that their
son is farming and like this country,
the farmers are suffering from the
low price of wheat that is prevailing.
In Alberta the twilight lingers until
after 10 o'clock at night and which
causes their growing seasons to be
longer than in this country although
they have winter much sooner.

Herman L. Swanson, who has been
the agent for the Missouri Pacific
railway at Union for the past few
years, has been offered the position
at Falls City as one of the dispatch
ers , and is working there at this
time. This selection for the position
is one which shows wisdom on the
part of the railroad company for
one would have to look for a long
time to secure a man more reliable
and one who would look after the
business any better than Mr. Swan
son. Mr. E. McCowen, who has been

cation of the departed chief and his
work for the welfare of the country
at; this most critical time of our
country's history and which has car
ried us through two years of the
most strenuous times in the history
of the republic.
The following few words in com
memoration of our beloved president
were read, followed by a prayer, and
the hymn, "For All the Saints Who
from Their Labors Rest," sung by
the congregation:
''Our nation has, suffered a great
loss in the death of President Hard
ing: 'Tis true another man steps to
the throttle perhaps as good, pos
sibly better. But an uncertainty
exists, and in this uncertainty we
hesitate until we can again feel con
fident. President Harding is the
first to die in office from natural
death. All political differences cease
at a time like this. Sympathy is felt
by all. The loss is personal. As one
said. 'I feel like I had lost a close
friend or relative.'
- "To President Harding was given
the hardest tasks ever given a pres
ident. Naturally the nation was in
dire crisis following the world war,
It brought President Wilson to the
breaking point to conduct the war
and the task of restoring order has
been a heavy one for President Hard
ing. .., Personally I have come to ad
mire President Harding. I knew prac
tically nothing of him before his
election, but have watched him close
ly since that time.
"I firmly believe the conference he
called for disarmament is one of the
world's greatest constructive acts in
history. His world court is another
of his large world outlook peaceful
policies.
air. iaraing was a man among
men. ills religious life may not
have been as lofty as that of Mc
Kinley, and yet he did not hesitate
to make it chief and forempst in his
administration. Though he had been
a moderate drinker, he became under
prohibition, an absolute abstainer.
l hough he had been a more or less
indifferent church man, he became
very diligent in church attendance
and placed God and Christian faith
first. He loved men and humanity,
lie was gentle, yet resolute; he was
open, yet deep. He was gracious and
reverential.
"He belonged to the nation more
than any other man and his death
comes as a blow first to his wife and
second to each and every loyal Amer
ican citizen.
"We pray for God's blessing on
Mrs. Harding, on our government, on
our new president, Mr. Coolidge, and
our people, and may we be humble
in our bereavement as we bow to the
will of God."
The services were attended by a
large congregation who had gathered
to worship and to render their tribute
