Has But Three More Days in Which to Quench fts Thirst born is still standing although in a bad state of decay. At present it is belng used as a storage space for farm machinery. Whether President Harding plans to restore it is not known to his friends, President Harding has told close friends that he expects to visit the farm in July and possibly sooner to plan improvements, I'riends say that contemplated improvements include a modern bungalow and a golf course, The farm was purchased from Harry Erickson who has owned it for several years and whose wife is a second cousin of the president. It immediately adjoins the quiet little village of Blooming Grove, a town of ahout 200 persons, where the pres- ident obtained his first schgoling. The village of Blooming Grove was laid out and founded by Simon E. Harding, a great great uncle of Warren G, Harding. Lived There Till 7. President Harding lived on gthe farm until he was seven years old, when his family moved to Caledonia, in Marion county about ten miles northeast of this city. The president’s father, Dr. George T. Harding, Sr., who is a practicing physician here today told of the pres- ident’s early ambition. He wanted to be a fisherman. The desire came from frequent fishing trips with his daddy in the creek running through the home farm. Intimate friends say the president never has become a good fisherman although he plays at the sport at times. Announcement of the president's purchase developed the fact today that Dr. George T. Harding, Jr., of Columbia recently purchased the birthplace farm of his mother who was a Digkerson.

When the lights were switched on, a man and a woman were found slumped in their seats unconscious. The woman was Leison's wife and the man, Edward P. Weigner, her escoft. Mrs. Leison was shot in the temple, back of the head, right shoul- der and neck. Weigner had three wounds in his head. Physicians said Weigner would re- cover but held litle hope for Mrs. L eison. Leison, whose military service récord showed him to be an expert marksman, fled after the shooting but was arrested an hour later. He told police he had been “waiting for this chance for months.” For Liquor.
