JOHNSON’S STAND
SUITS HARDING
Campaign Managers Show
Real Pleasure in Outcome.
O., July 8. —Announcement
of liis support of the republican ticket,
made yesterday by Senator Hiram John
son of California, was received with en
rhusiasm at the Harding headquarters.
Sen a to, r Wjrreu G. Harding, the re
publican nominee,- expressed quiet satis
faction when sent a press bulletin of
the Johnson statement.
“1 am gl-.d to know that Senator
Johnson gives the ticket his support,”
the senator commented.
“I am glad also to know that his sup
port is for the platform rather than for
the nominee.
"We are going to feature party rather
than individuals in this campaign."
It is reported here that a strong ef
fort is to be made by the campaign exec
utive committee to induce Senator John
son to make a speaking tour of the coun
try in the Interest of the republican
ticket.
There is genuine appreciation by the
campaign managers, It is stated, of the
Californian's following, his personal
magnetism and his eloquence.
A pledge of support ‘‘by the whole
Taft family" has been received by Sen
ator Harding from Hulbert Taft, editor
the Cincinnati Times-Star.
Gen. Leonard Wood is expected here
next week for a conference with Senator
Harding.
Following that conference It is likely
that a statement of support of the re
publican ticket will be issued by Gen.
Wood and an appeal made to his follow
ing to get behind the republican nom
inee.
This will leave Senator Borah of Idaho
the only leader in the Chicago convention
unpledged in a public statement in sup
port of the republican ticket. Harding
campaign managers here today express
the hope that Senator Borah will not
delay long n public declaration in the
interest of the republican nominee.
Free Utility Service
Under High Court Ban
Free service on the part of public util
ities companies will be discontinued as
the result of a ruling of the Indiana su
preme court.
In a decision the legislative amendment
of March 14. 1019, Is ruled unconstitu
tional.
When the public service law was enact
ed the commission ordered the Greens
hurg Water Company to provide free
drinking water for certain city service.
Free city water service was abolished
when the attorney general later ruled
•hat this expense must be offset as a
Continuance was discriminating under
the new law.
Amendments were made in 1019 pro
viding that any company which had
held a franchise and agreements with
the city to supply certain free city serv.-
ice would continue to perform that duty
until the term!motion of the franchise.
In accordance with the amendment the
Greensburg Water Company again was
ordered to provide free service.
The commission at that time believed
the law unconstitutional but placed the
order in effect until the amendment was
withdrawn*.
The case was taken before the Deca
tur Circuit eonrt, from which it was
appealed to the supreme court.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By DAVI
One morning as Puss Junior was
tramping along a country road lie met
Simple Simon going to the fair. I guess
everybody was going to the Fair th-t
beautiful morning, for the load was
crowded .with wagons and carriages of
ail sorts.
There were farm wagons full of merry
boys and girls, and buggies with old
people in old-fashioned clothes and high
carts with gaily dressed ladies and uien
In red coats. And, oh. dear me, how
dusty it was. But Puss didn't mind
that, for he was used to traveling, and
a good traveler doesn't complain.
Well, he and Simple Simon had nearly
reached the fair grounds when a man
with a big tray-Ttf delicious pastry came
up. “Pies, pies!” he cried, and when
Puss Junior and Simple Simon looked at
them they felt very hungry. Oh, my
yes!
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman,
Let me taste your ware.
Said the Pieman to Simple Simon.
Show me first your penny;
Said Simple Simon to the Pieman,
Sir, I haven't any.”
“But I have,” cried little Puss Junior,
and he took a gold piece out of his
pocket; and lifter that they both had
all the pic they could eat. And when
they bad finished. Puss said: "Is there
any custard on my whiskers?” for he
had eaten custard pie, and apple pie,
and peach pie, and plum pie, and lemon
pie; and so had Simple Simon.
And then said Simple Simon: “is
there any on mine?” whiAi made Puss
laugh, for Simon didn’t have a single
whisker, for he was only a boy, you
know.
■‘Vou'Te got a big smear of raspberry
on you chin,” said Puss Junior. And
after that they went into the fair
grounds and looked at all the funny
sights, the fat woman and the thin man.
the giant and the dwarf, the dreadful
skeleton roan and a two-headed cow,
and all the other queer sights.

PERSONALITY IN

per cent better correspondent.” said Fred
Millls. director of promotion of the Cham
ber of Commerce, at the regular weekly
luncheon of the Indianapolis Association
of Credit Men, this noon, at the Clay

“The usual letter is as cold as ice
and as ‘punehful’ and human as a piece
of cheese.
“Place yourself in the other fellow's
place.
“Write to him as you would want him
to write to you, if you want to convince
him that what you want him to do is the
best for his interests.

you judged them by their correspondence

so I’ve still got $4.50 of the $5 you
loaned me. Let’s see—tomorrow’s
Wednesday and payday is Saturday. 1
ran walk to work and lunch on a
chocolate frost and a sandwich the next
three days; so ;$1 will be a safe margin
to keep out for brother Neal. Come on,
let’s around lively, and get ready,
Babbale—we’ll make a hit with those
Harrisons yet.’’
I slipped on a hat and we hurried
to the florist’s over on the avenue. There
in great glee we purchased a blue vase
full of red dahlias and wild yellow
“baby orchids." But when I came to
write the card there, maliciously, in my
own handwriting these innocent-looking
words stared up at me:
“With loving greetings to Virginia
and Phoebe from Barbara Anne and
Neal.’’
But that simple message put into
words the dividing line I hated to recog
nise—on one side the Harrisons, on the
other “Barbara Anne and Neal.” Two
families—my husband's and mine. Vir
ginia had made it sadly plain this very
day that she didn’t regard me as her
“own.” I was an outsider to be treated
with grave formality—not a sister to go
along on her apartment, hunt, to be
asked over to dinner on her first night
in town.
With a heart the heavier, because its
pain must be hidden from Neal, I left
the florist shop to which we bad so
gaily gone and walked home aga*n
through the early darkness. When wo
got back to the apartment Neal began
io fumble about the room a bit rest
lessly.
"Do you think Jim will be home
soon?” he asked.
I understood. His ardent youth hateth
being confined to our little apartment.
He had given me of his best in a high
tlde of boyis> devotion, but now he
wanted to get out and have a little fun
after his day’s work. I knew this as
well as.if he had put it Into words.
“Jim will be home by 9,” I declared,
rememberlhg my husband had saicj the
agent was going to show them the apart
ments between 7 and 8. “You run along
to a movie, Neal.”
“Pm qot going to leave you, Babbsie,”
declared Neal, slipping his tie a bit
tighter in unconscious preparation for
going out. even as he spoke.
"Nonsense, laddie! You know I
liaven”t had a minute with Jim today,
and it would be almost a kindness”
Then, in great relief at this legiti
mate excuse for doing what he desired,
Neal seized his hat and came and gave
me a bear hug, crying:
“That's' right, Babbs. You always tell
me when I’m in the waV, or I won’t
feel I’ve the right to sfay here,” and
he bolted out of the place.—Copyright,

JAZZ SPOILED GRACE.
LONDON! July B.—The Jazz is stag
gering to a fall. Dancing masters as
sembling in London to set the styles,
report that the Jazz is on the wane.
Moreover, that the girls of 1920 have
been spoiled for graceful dancing by
the jazz and will learn to dance the
waltz and the square dances well only
after much trying, and —presumably
many lessons.
