GOVERNOR COOLIDGE FIRM.

Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massa
chusetts being native of Windham
county attracts the attention of Yer
monters to an unusual extent. He has
lust taken stand that is commended
by the Boston press and will be APP
proved by his friends in this section,
The policeman of Boston have recently
organized union in open defiance of
Police Commissioner Curtis who holds
that policemen are public officials and
therefore not entitled to membership in
n labor organization. The policemen
have boosted they would have the gov
ernor remove the commissioner because
he had opposed them but the governor
refuses to interfere.
Commenting on the governor 5 action
under the heading, A "Grovcr Cleve-
landn Governor, the Boston Transcript
said:
ellis Excellcncy, the governor of
Massachusetts, sgnalizcd his return
from well earned but all too brief
vacation today with Il quiet answer to
searching question. The number of
his words was small, but their meaning
large. The police commissioners of Bos'
ton will not be interfered with as long
as he remains in that responsible office,
and he will not be removed from that
office, and he has the complete support
of his immediate superior, the governor
of Massachusetts,.
"Thcre s executive ability for you
backing up the man on the job. Given
good Judgment in the selection of subor.
dinates and the sand to see them
through, and you have the twin essen
tails of pre-eminencc in the field of adj
ministration too seldom found in high
places. Both are outstanding character
istics of the unassuming but upstand-
| ing man of few words who happens to
be at the head of the government of
the commonwealth at this time. 1t was
n long headed electorate that put him
there. And-lest the members of the
Boston police force forget-it is a con
firmed habit Of Calvin Coolidge to in.
dulge himself in the Emersonian en-
phasis of understatement.

A yield of from six to eight bushels
of wheat per acre is all the threshing
machine can produce in many of the
large wheat growing states of the west
and northwest which shows that the
government estimators of an enormous
crop were counting the chickens before
they were Matched. United States will
not have nearly as much wheat as it
expected and the prospects of any re-
duction in the price of flour are very
poor.

One of the most interesting Of the

realizeb it's remarkable power, have
become ardent champions of the

When asked if she was willing for
her statement to be published, Mrs.
Rowe said:
Yes, indeed, for I firmly believe
Tanlac has saved me from nervous
prostration and I am glad to make a
statement which may be Of benefi; to
