Th# Lzadar found a bunch of live
•b* town builders down at Hording
•nd they nr* going right along about
the business of building a town
M *« their regular business.
A recent visit of a postoAce location
inopector inspire* the Harding folks
with visions of n poatoAce at a very
oarly date and that fact helps in tho
push oaward.
. Workmen are now busy installing
a light plant that is a credit to the
town and it will only be a few days
until Harding will be a blaze of elec-
tik1 lights Id
■ftho country round.
The $20,000.00 toll bridge over the
river at Harding is now under con-
struction and it will only be a short
time until the steep tbanks and the
drive through the water to cross the
river will be a thing of the f>ast.
Then just to let the public know
about the great^hpspit^ny-ofHard-
ing people and the folWs acrosA the
fence in Oluskey City, JwrangenVnta
are being made fo$ a big yqint ba
cue an.d picnic to be held onNhe mai/i
street of Hording on June 25. They
rrrnpnae-to mater TfQfi.eYenf Qcielgr£at
time.
While Harding is the infant town
ef--the Young county oil field, having
been laid, out only al>out six weeks
ago, it shows pep and gives promise
of making some that are a little older
get Up and go to hold a lead. About
fort^ houses have been built during
the' past thirty days and there are
several more now under construction.
Gas has been piped into the town
by the townstte company and plumb-
ers are now busy piping this fuel into
the homes and business houses where
fuel is needed. Plans are also about
perfected by the company to pot in a
waterworks plant and only a' short
time will be required to put in com-
plete waterworks for thp town.
Among the - live wires down at
| Harding who are actively engaged
in making the tqwn a go is Benton, of
Benton’s Idea, who is furnishing the
amusement loving public with pas-
time pleasures and making a success
of it. F. M Bozemore has one of the
niftiest little confectioneries to be
found in'the*oil. field towns and is
making good right off the reel. The
Harding Bakery is a wholesale es-
' tahttshmenr thar fa building’ up a wide
trade for “Mity Nice” Bread and the
sale of their products is not confined
ta the home town. Then J. W. Es-
lick’s grocery store is just up the
street and J. W> says he is one of
the pioneers and proposes to stay un-
til Harding spreads out and takes in
all the territory from South Bend to
Etiasville. J. R. Baker has a good
grocery and feed business and was
as busy as a cranberry merchant, but
took time to talk to The Leader by
calling on Mrs Baker to wait on the
customers. • A. yf. Smith is propri-
etor of the Ray Hotel, the only hos-
telry in the’jcity of Harding, and
seemed to thinly that business is fair-
ly good in his line. H. L- Walsh has
just established a jam-up little ‘drug
store and is getting ready for the
rush and is equipped to handle the
business.
■ * s ft...
Oil. development round the Harding
section is being speeded up as is the
case all over the field andLbusiness
gets better as things move forward-
A number of good wdlls have recently
come in and others arq reported about
ready to produce mote oil.
Harding people have already taken
the first steps toward securing a
public school and the. next session
will open on schedule time this fall.
There are also churches to be built
in Harding and it will not be many
months until the Sunday schools will
be in progress on Sunday morning
and the preacher’s voiCe will be heard
in the land.
The town is enjoying a strictly law
abiding citizenship and the citizens
are bringing their families to live in
Harding where order prevails and the
stick-up man is unknown.
Altogether thertown of Harding is
a pretty little place and the smooth
level streets, with the picturesque
Clear Fork river winding along one
aide, produce an attraction that is a
pleasant knd inviting to the prospec-
tive -investor, and home seekr.

Announcement is made by Dodge
Brothers, Detroit, of their appoint-
ment ci Texas Motor Co. as their
dealer in this city. This comamg
.’!9rill occupy the 'Babb building on
North Elm street with a complete
salesroom and service station.
The remarkable popularity of the
Dodge Brothers Motor Car has caused
automobile men all over the country
Jfrn^m'Iamor for sales privileges, but
J I)o<Fgo Brothers policy of quality in
| tetlfeg method?, well as quality in
requires a painstaking in-
v/stigation in every instance before a
selection is made. In the Texas
Motor Co. Dodge Brothers have a
dealer on whom they believe they may
rely for both progressiveneas and fair
business methods.
The prompt manner in which Dodge
Brothers assumed one of the fore-
most positipns in the automobile in-
dustry is regarded as a striking testi-
monial to the high regard in which
their name wan ^eld by -, the public
even before they marketed a motbr
car bearing his name. Prior -to that
time odg* Brothers had built the vital
parts for more than a half'million
other cars, establishing a ' reputatipn
j for thoroughness and mechanical skill.
CONSTANTINE TO

Athens, March 10. __ (By Mail to
the hited Press.)—King Constantine
will not go# to Smyrna and Greece
will abandon the war against Musta-
pha Kerfial and the Turks—unless the
allies foot the bill.
Despite declarations and reports to
the contrary by the King himself, the
above deduction is the viewpoint of
conservative Greek statesmen and en-
tente diplomats in Athens.
King Constantine’s spread-eagle
promises of leading his (foople to
Constantinople has. been all bluff, it
