ERIENDSHIP BETTER THAN MUCH WEALTH $o Says Harding in Speech - af Skagway, Alaska By The Assoclated Prems Aboard U, S. 8. Henderson.. with President Harding, July 13. — Presi- dent Harding has bound himself by an oath never to mistreat either a dog or a horse. The obligation to be kind to both of thése ahimals was part of an oath taken by the president yesterday at Skagway, when he became a mem- ber of the Arctic brotherhood. He today conflded the oath in part to Mrs. Harding who in turn informed members of the presidential party. The brotherhood was organized in 1899 on the steamer Seattle by gold prospectors Whose use and love of horses and dogs in the north is said to have caused inclusion in the ritual of a clause requiring kindness to these animals. The president was today on the open water of the Pacific ocean hav- ing passed through Icy Strait and Cross Sound into the Gulf of Alaska en route to Seward where he is due Friday afternoon. The chief executive told the peo- ple of Skagway in a brief address yesterday that he was becoming some- what philosophical as he travelled. “We may wonder,” he said, “what is the greatest end of life. “Men make their plans and try to adhere to them. Skagway, a port sit- uated in a mountain pass was de- veloped and made notable in a rush of man seeking to acquir of material value. “That 1§ a motive which is inher- ent in us but longer I live and. -the more I see of communities and hu- man beings, the more firmly is my belief - established that the sweetest thing in the world is the friendship of a few dependable friends. This is the happiness that makes contentment. “Apparently you have much of that here, as much as may be found anywhere in the country and you also live in an atmosphere that tends to cultivate ambition and lofty as- pirations. I only hope that the worthy ones come to full realization.” TAPS ARE SOUNDED FOR ARMY MULE OF BATTERY F Raggedy Ann.

She was kicked to death by other mules. The grave was dug on Pershing field named for the A. E. . commander. A bugler sounded taps -and four 75 mm. guns fired a volley. At the funeral were all members of the battery and several mascots from field artillery units at the camp.
