BY EDWARD M. THIERRY WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug. 18 =A revival of the village store fo rum is the remedy Dr, Henry A. Gar field suggests for political and eco. Homie ils of cities, states and nations sand the world. “Real public opinion that had wis dom and influence,” Garfield “grew out of oldtime gatherings Around the stove in the corner store, where mon sat about on cracker-bar reia, smoking and talking.” This, he said in an interview feribing the aims of tho institute of | Politics now tn session here, has be-! gome a lost institution Garfield, president of Williams Jege, war-time federal fuel adm! trator and son of a former pre of the United States, is originator and chairman of the institute, now Jn ity second annual meeting Attending this month are lecturers from five foreign countries, 15 distinguished Americans ae lead @rs of roundtable conferences, and 800 diplomats, pudlicists, college prest Gents and professors, financiers, and army and navy officers MODERN VERSION OF CRACKER-BARREL FORUM “We need such gatherings as this,” he says, “to teach us to think~-round table discussions based on study, That's what the old-time cracker-barre! talks were, tho problems were simpler and led for contemplation rather than study “Nowadays we do not get togeth to talk things over and oxchan: ideas, When we hold meeting» fown meetings, conventions, world wonferences—there is always the shadow of official responsibility hanging over our heads. “People think nothing ts being ac complished unless resolutions are adopted.

But Is She Thoughtful? Horse to Get His Oats. But How About Master? wy BY JACK HALL Mra. Warren G. Harding has sent a check for $100 to “Clover.” @ $l-year-old horse belonging to “Rev. Dr. Myers of Catawisha, Accompanying the check fs a letter In which the wife of t! president telis “Clover’s” master that she Is “deeply moved by the fense of justice and gratitude and faithfulness which impels you to sacrifice your comfort rather than kill a splendid horse which has given you @ long Iife of willing service.” “It seems a strange = tngratt- tude,” the letter continues, “that demands such a sacrifice beenuse your failure to attain wealth has Rot made a cruel and inconsid- erate master of you.” I do not doubt that Rev. Dr. Myers has written Mrs. Harding thanking her for her generosity whieh mves “Clover” from a swift and unnatural demise. BUT 18 HE TELLING ALL? I do not doubt that the rever end gentieman }s telling netgh- bors, parishioners and newspa- pers that he is glad “Clover” is Mow assured of her oate three times a day 1 do not doubt that Dr. Myers % {« genuinely fond of “Clover.” But I will give odds that Dr. Myers is not telling all that is In his mind. Many clergymen get as much 9 $200 a year for ministering to our spiritual wants, and the aver age ministerial salary, I read, t# around $700. I am taking It for granted that Dr. Myers fs not one of those hustlers who are “called” from profitable pulpits to pulpits more profitable If he were one of these, he would have a limousine in which to make his parish calls. And. mark you, “Clover” has given him “a long life of willing serv. fer.” Fe couldn't afford even a new and younger horse, in these days when horseflesh is a drug on the market BIN FULI-—AND LARDER EMPTY I like horses and dogs a as the next, but, Uke George on the cigar box, “I Henry am for men,” and I do not find it in my heart to blame Dr. Myers if he is not as grateful’ to Mrs Harding as, perhaps, he ought to be. Jt ix a trust fund and it must and will be spent on outs for “Clover,” no matter how bare the rectory larder It appears that Dr. Myers had made up his mind, sorrowfully, to destroy “Clover,” whom could no longer use and could not he afford to keep in idleness. That would be a pity. But it is a fact that, alive, over” ix no good to anybody while, dead, she would supply the world with much needed glue and fertilizer 13 Wigees in One Family Is Record | GUILFORD, Eng., Aug. 18.—Thir teen members of the Smulipeice fain- | fly have been mayor of Guilford since 1602.
