Provo today is well on its way to become the leading city of tjtah, the growth of the community has been surprising when you realize that there has been $1,000,-00- 0 worth of building permits granted this year. At the bottom of this growth is the very character of the people of ProVo, their ideals and aims are of the best. Their public officials are people of character, untiring in their 'efforts to advance the interests of Provo. This has encouraged capital and enterprise to enter our city. It has been a big factor in developing our power, and fuel possibility. It has materially assisted in bringing the transportation connections we now enjoy. And when it comes to considering Provo as it will be, I believe I am not alone when I say that the future of Provo is far greater than we can now appreciate.e For many years our citizens have worked untiringly to develop to the utmost opr resources; and the greatest perhaps of these is the new steel industry. Regardless of many opinions, the steel industry for Provo is here and construction work has commenced in earnest. It will only be a matter of a comparatively short time until the entire property turned over to the steel company by the efforts of the good citizens of Provo and Springville, will be alive with the new industry. It has already brought one new manufacturing plant, which is now plant which pushing to completion a200 men, the will employ upwards of comJacks,on Pump Manufacturing we I that here and say pany, right the manufacmust not forget turing plants that we now have.

He was the oldest of eight children, and his father. Dr. George T. Harding, w ho' still survives, was of sturdy Scotch ancestry who settled in Connecticut, then moved into the Wyoming ley of Pennsylvania and subsequently made their home in Ohio. His mother, Pliebe Dickerson, was an ancestor of the Dutch family of Van Kirks. Harding may rightly' be termed to have been a farm boy. He, like many other presidents of the United States preceding him, aided in clearing, cultivating of the land, the tedious work of cutting, splitting and chopping, of trees, and all that pertained to the early farm work was well known through experience. At the age of 14 he entered the Ohio Central college, an academic institution at Iberia, Ohio. During his vacations he earned the money to continue his education, and among his pursuits were suci things as painting barns, contracting for the construction of road beds, harvesting of corn, and teaching school. When 19 years of age the fam- ily moved to Marion after a short residence In Caledonia, and it was in the former city that Harding entered upon his life work. .He secured a position as a printer in the Marion weekly. The Marion Mirror, and determined to become a newspaper man. His struggle for advancement is illustrated by his rise in that office, and from apprentice and janitor he on to editorial writing and passed soliciting of advertisements. His opportunity to succeed in his chosen profession came when the owner of The Mirror ordered young Harding to buy The Marion Star, a small weekly, that was to be sold for debts by the sheriff. On November 26, 1884, at the age of 20, Harding was a publisher, although his path was filled with obstacles he continued to strive to place The Star among the better papers of the state. Other papers attacked him, and his provocation was so great that at times Senator Predicts End of Coal Strike nt or ed with the recommendations which would give to! the president authority to declare a national emergency in case the mines should be shut, down and to operate them Should the operators and miners Idck horns over the renewal of the wage scale and as a result mines should be closed as last year, officials in Washington predict that President Harding would not wait until congress reconvenes in December, but would call an extra session early in tbe autumn to meet the sit uation. Senator Curtis of Kansas says that legislation along the lines suggested by the United States coal commission in its report dealing with the anthracite will be enacted by tbe next situation, congress. He believes the recommendations, if made effective, will go far toward solving th coal problem and prevent its recurrence. Furthermore, he thinks Bane and sensible legislation as proposed will offset much agitations which unscrupulous and selfMany men (fail because .when ish interests may dictate. portunity knocks, they knock Senator Curtis was much impress portunity. nated by his party in 1911 for United States senator, and won the nomination by jk plurality' of 102,000, and this marked liis en-- 1 ance into national politics. Harding attracted little atten- tion during the earlier period in the senate, although hit spbeches vere warmly received by' those who heard them. Ho was mentioned as a dark horse candidate at the 1916 convention, and it was rumored that ho would attempt to gain- - the nomination by the sheer power of his oratory. He failed, however, to be considered as a presidential possibility. During the war he was a strong advocate of Wilsonian policies, but immediately upon the termination of the European struggle he opposed his measures, and was on of the signers of the famous Round Robin notifying the world that the signers disapproved the league of nations , and peace : treaty. In the early stages of the next presidential campaign he was overlooked on account of the activity among those seeking the nornina-tio- n for General Wood and Governor Lowden of Illinois. Strong opposition developed against General Wood, and rumors of corruption concerning Governor Lowden forced a switch of delegates, and Harding was nominated on the tenth ballot. . Since taking office the following have been the high spots of his administration; Reestablishment of peace 'with Germany and Austria. The calling of the arms conference, which approved the naval limitation treaty and the four-powpeace pact. 'Ratification of the treaty with Colombia resulting from partition of Panama. Revision of the tax and tariff laws. Restriction of immigratipn. Farmer aid legislation, with particular reference to easier credits on more liberal terms. Establishment of the budget bureau. Veto of the soldiers bonus hillT Extension of the program of aid for 5 wounded, sick and disabled veterans of the World war. Advocacy of American participation in the world court. 1 , er , Talking about the pacifist theory of preventing war by not being prepared, do you hear of many folks trying to pick a quarrel with Dempsey How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour?

Now, strangely enough, reports the Metropolitan Life Insurance com.-pan-y in its most recent statistical bulletin, this relationship is apparently not as constantt as we have learned to believe.

His devotion. to Laziness and his application of commendable newspaper ethics made him a figure of some prominence in Marion, and when he relinquished control of the periodical in June, 1923, it was a prosperous newspaper with a circulation of 30,000, and thousands' of friends. In 1891 ho married Mrs. Harding, despite the opposition pf her father,' Amos King, and her as&ist- ance in Hie success of the presi-yiecan not be discounted, for she became circulation manager of the paper, and was instrumental in its subsequent development. Hardings first entrance in politics was in the early' 90ks, and he made his appearance as a political speaker. Following his address he was told by an old Lincoln publican that he had the gift of gab ,and could, by continuing, be- come president of the United States. His oratory was such that he found himself appearing on the same platforms as such eminent politicians and leaders as McKin- ley, Foraker, and Hanna, and the former who Harding more nearly approaches than any man who reached the presidency. In 1898 he entered politics for himself, and was elected state senator. He was reelected when he ran again, and while serving without unusual distinction made many friends who in later years were to espouse his political battles. In 1903 he completed his SOC ond term as state editor, and was elected : lieutenant-governof Ohio on a ticket headed by Myron T. Herrick, who was later one of his principal supporters for the Republican nomination for president. He refused to run for upon the completion of his term as lieutenant-governo- r and returned to newspaper work. In 1910 Harding received the Republican nomination for governor of his state, and was defeated by the Democratic nominee,, Jud-so- n Harmon. In 1912 he became nationally prominent as a result of his advpcacy of Taft for president, and his bitter attacks on Rooseevelt, the Progressive nominee.

When William Howard Taft was governor of the Philippines, he was perhaps the most popular man on the islands, and a 'welcome guest wherever he cho3e to go. Once he took a party of New Yorkers into the brush for a week-en- d where he showed them everything there was to see, including the inside of a native hut. The native woman was fully dressed but there were several children playing about and not one had on a stitch of clothe. Taft turned to the party and with his rich, chuckling laugh said:!
