STORY WRITER
FOR MAGAZINE
ON LONG TRIP
SYDNEY, Australia, July 20 (by As
sociated Press).—Ralph Stock, an Aus
tralian magazine writer, accompanied
by his sister and an army officer
friend named Rundle, has accom
plished a voyage from Devonshire,
England, via the Panama canal, to
Nukualofa in the Tonga group in a
21-ton cutter.
The party left England on July 21
last year. The route was by way of
"Vigo, Spain, Las Palmas in the Canary
islands, Barbadoes, the Galapogos
islands, the Marquesas islands, the
Low archipelago, Tahiti, Palmerston
island and Niue island. Nukualofa
was reached in April. On the Avay to
Barbadoes the cutter was becalmed
nearly a week, and almost a month
was spent by the voyagers in the West
Indies. Before the Panama canal was
reached the party stripped the cutter
so as to reduce her measurement, with
the result that the toll through the
canal was only $12. This, in Stock’s
opinion, is probably the smallest toll
on record.
Miss Stock did her share of navi
gating the boat, and according to her
brother was “the best of the crew.”
The voyagers sold the cutter at Nuku
alofa for a handsome sum. They plan
to sail back to England via the Suez
canal.

I TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
j FORMER SERVICE MEN IN
ENGLAND SEEKING AID
LONDON, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—Debate in parliament has dis
closed that 192,000 former service men
are unemployed and have made claims
to government aid for that reason. Of
these 24,600 are disabled.
Approximately 140,000 disabled sol
diers and sailors have found employ
ment among the 16,969 firms which en
gaged with the government to help
them.
Although many trade unions have
volunteered to assist the government
to reduce the number of unemployed,
Field Marshal Lord Haig has bitterly
attacked other unions for alleged dis
crimination against former service
men, particularly those who were dis
abled in war.
Lord Haig has issued an appeal to
employers and others to help him find
employment for his former comrades,
in the field.
WO FRIENDS
WISH HER LUCK
MARION, O., July 20 (by Associated
Press).—Many women of Marion, girl
hood acquaintances and chums of
Mrs. Warren G. Harding, wife of the
Republican nominee for president, are
enthusiastic over the possibility that
she may preside at the white house.
They say she is well fitted for the
duties of a president’s wife because
“she has a mind of her own, gener
ally manages to get what she wants,
is thoroughly democratic, likes to
give and go to parties, is interested
in a hundred and one things, knows
how to talk to every one including
men and once she knows you, always
knows you.”
Some Marion residents say that Mrs.
Harding has contributed in important
ways to Mr. Harding’s business suc
cess in life.
Mrs. Harding was born here, August
15, 1860 and was reared in this city
where she attended grammer and high
schools. Afterwards she studied
music at the Cincinnati Conservatory
of Music.
as Florence ivimg, aaugnier or
Amos Kling, banker and one of the
most wealthy men of Barion, she is
described by a girlhood friend, Mrs.
Margaret Younkins, as “one of the
best horsewomen I have ever seen.
She rode and drove more like a man
than a girl,” said Mrs. Younkins, who
said she was more accustomed in
those days to seeing Florence Kling
dashing swiftly up the street on Bil
ly, her saddle horse, than walking
with the other girls of her social
circle. Other girlhood friends of Mrs.
Harding told of the times when they
used to “pile into Florence’s phaeton
and ride with perfect confidence be
hind her speedy Billy.”
Florence Kling was married to
Warren G. Harding, then as now
newspaper publisher, on July 8. 1891
in their present home in Mount Ver
non Avenue, Marion. For more than
12 years, until illness prevented Mrs
Harding was circulation manager cf
the Star, her husband’s newspaper.
In addition she was the registration
for complaints, advertising manager
and angel to the newsboys.
When Mrs. Harding returns to Mar
ion and meets any of the boys who
carried papers for Senator Harding
when she was circulation manager,
she pats them on the back, it is said,
and remarks: “Here is one of my
boys—he will be famous some day.”
Mrs. Harding has been a member of
“The Twigs,” a card club of Marion,
for many years.
This Woman 106 Years Old, and She Gan Prove It
D TIGHT, ILL.—The oldest woman in Illinois, Mrs. Mary Ann Potter of
Dwight, celebrated her 106tli birth anniversary the other day. She was
bom in Essex, New York, in 1814. Mrs. Potter has lived in Illinois since
it was admitted to the Union. Her
nnrents nrnciired 800 acres from the
government in Livingston county, and
this land has never passed out of the
i possession of the Potters.
\ Mrs. Potter was married in 1834
1) to Stephen Potter, who has been dead
for 30 years. Eight children were
born, but only one survives, Albert
Potter of Peru, Ind.
Mrs. Potter’s grandfather was a
«rvLli/\n ILa T?mrnlnfiAn ntirl WOQ
fond of telling of his experiences with
Washington. Her father was a soldier of 1812. Her husband was a soldier
in the war with Mexico. During the Civil war, the Spanish-American war and
the war with Germany, she knit socks and made bandages for the soldiers.
Mrs. Potter keeps in touch with public affairs and has voted at every elec
tion since given the right.
Mrs. Potter enjoys talking of the early days and the hardships of the
pioneers. The Indian chief Shabbona made his headquarters hut a few miles
from the Potter homestead. He was a friend of the white settlers and warned
them of the raid of Black Hawk and his band, thus preventing the massacre
of the Potter family and others.
The 1920 census will doubtless discover many centenarians or at least
persons who say they are and perhaps think they are. But genuine cente
narians whose age can be substantiated are rare1
