There aro somo thrills that only come rncc in a life-time.
Wo believe wo oxporience'd that thrill Saturday when wo. heard
President Harding .speak nt Hutchinson. Kansas and were prlvl-
ledged to moot and sljako hands with our Nation's Chief and his
good wife Mrs. Harding.
Naturally our strong Ket.ubllcnn prcehuty. might have a
tendency to inlluence our admiration for President and Mrs.
Harding even though we did not just agree with all the policies
of the administration but laying politics and personal prejudice

best must feel ho is every Inch a man. Personally wo endorse
his policy from A to Z. Ills task has not been an easy ono to dis-
charge. The turmoil after strife. tho unrest and the "red'" prop-
aganda which .this administration has bad to combat has been a
mighty force to tear down and nothing except the solid conserva-
tive principles of good government could prevail against such
obstacles. It has been a time for quiet yet forceful action and
for a council of tho best minds of the Nation. President Harding
lias had the good sense to invite such council and- advice yet all
the time standing firm in his own convictions.
Wo were not disappointed in the least upon seeing and hear-
ing our President and seeing our Fiist Lady of the Land. Wo
saw just what wo had expected. Two great humanly great per-
sons who wnilo tho head of our Nation yet were our own kind of
folk. There was no undue pomp and ceremony no stiff bows and
frigid handclasps but genteel genuine friendly greeting ns ono
friend to another. The feeling of awewhich frequently attends tho
visit of great personages was conspicuous by its absence It all
seemed more like a good old-fashlohed meeting and greeting cf
friends and neighbors.
In President Harding's talk to tho school children the human
side of the great man best showed itself. Ono could tell from his
beaming countenance as the thousands of .school children greeted
him with waving Hags that his big heart went out to the boys and
girls and here too. Mrs. Harding seemed to take an added delight.
There was no sham or pretense. They both love the boys and
girls best of all perhaps because their own home lins been denied
that blessing yet tho longing of the true man and woman for
children of their own is there.
In his address to the public lie dwelt fully and without quib
bllng on tho agricultural question. His remarks were loudly ap-
plauded by tho farm folk who came from miles around to hear
him. His suggested solution of farm problems met with hearty
approval. Upon hearing his address his hearers were convinced
that ho was not only OP THEM but FOR THEM to the fullest ex-
