GOVERNOR COOLIDGE
AT HIS OLD HOME
Plans to Help His Father Cut Hay
Crop and Then Will Spend
Vacation Resting.

PLYMOUTH, July 6.-Governor Calvin
Coolidge of Massachusetts,, Republican can
ididate for vice president arrived late Sun
lday in this settlement, in the hin
section of Central Vermont, for vaca-
ton with his father at the old family
homestead and farm where he was born.
He came from Boston by automobile,
and was joined at Bellows Falls by Mrs.
Coolidge and their elder son, John
Notwithstanding his strong aversion to
any labor as hard and trying on the mus
cles as haying, Governor Coolidge has con-
scented to devote part of his brief vacation
TO helping his father TO gather his annual
hay crop The governors help at the
family homestead ID getting in the crop
viii be particularly appreciated in this
year OF labor shortage Beyond the hay
making, however, the governor will do
little but rest.
The home coming was all the more
pleasant because Sunday was the gov
errors BIRTHDAY his forty -eighth In APP
probation, Massachusetts, friends had pre-
scented him with huge birthday cake
which the father proudly displayed. On
it were the dates lS72-l920, the seal of

in Massachusetts" a phrase the governor
made famous during the Boston police
strike.
John c. Coolidge, the father, is a man
past three score and ten, who has served
in the legislature and always taken an ac-
tive interest in civic affairs. He is re-
garded as the leading citizen of the town.
For 40 years he was town constable, but
his occupation was always that of a farmer
The farm is situated at the top of Ply
mouth Notch and at the foot of Mt Xii
ington 1t is in an isolated spot, even
for this town, which is in one of the most
rugged and rural sections of the state
There are only two homes near the home
stead. the nearest settlement, Plymouth
Union, being two miles distant.
The house is typical of the Vermont
farm country-two stories in height, with
comfortable rooms and old-fashioned furn-
iture and pictures. It is heated by stoves
and there is no telephone.

nomination and had good chance, as it
turns out now to break the deadlock for
president but beiRg-,deserted by Iowa, on,
the fifth ballot hurt Meredith,s opportun-
itv. Another grievance is that although
Marsh has claimed to be for Palmer and
indeed cast the Iowa vote Tor lge attor-
ney general on early ballots, he failed to
come back tU-Paimer~ when drive was
being made for the latter on the thirty
fourth and thirty-fifth ballots. Secretary
of Agriculture Meredith who is one of the
strongest McAdoo men, made speech to
a mass meeting last night which indicated
that continued friction in Iowa Democracy
will be the outcome of this convention.
Sore spots are developing elsewhere
and it is largely because of the wet and
dry fight The vets naturally insist that
the wet sentiment of the big eastern
states is sufficient to swing national cleo
ton. They say it is. the only chance not
only for Democratic victory for president,
but that it. would pull IN state and local
tickets, too. But the drys see only the
moral side of it and have been simply
standing pat on McAdoo and Palmer
largely because they felt this would keep
them straight with the dry sentiment
back home.
The only danger that faced the Cox
managers was the inclination Of the Pal
mer and McAdoo forces to recognize that
they had common ground Wilson

to the fact that Governor Cox not only
has supported President Wilson but is

approval of the league of nation as the

Ohio managers triumph was held up by
the Palmer and McAdoo men as a mani

text the spirit was concealed In a way that preserved the inner teaching from mutilation through age after age. Her reading of the Bible in the light of these symbols appeals to one as be- ing the sane and probable way in which the Scriptures should be read, and shows deep occult meaning in cer- tain stories which modern criticism has declared to be meaningless. Yet nothing that man has universally been taught to reverence, is torn down; on the contrary, reason is brought to sup port intuition, science to uphold faith; and the 'babblings of an infant people shown to veil profound mysteries that are in complete harmony with the most advanced philosophy. This reading finds no conflict with science in it's teachings; even the story of Jonah and the whale becomes a sane possibility, while Joshua's command to the sun to stand still in no way quarrels with facts. It Is refreshing and inspiring to find one who shows the Bible to be thoroughly rational and consistent book, needing no apology for error"

they don't want. We would cater to them in order to gain our ends. We learn their peculiarities, their characteris- tics and abide by them Though We might have no molasses but did have vinegar realizing that vinegar would not interest the fly, we would discomfort our selves to the extent that We would get some molasses. After all, it would react to our benefit When we give the fly what he wants, he is satisfied. He, however, gets tangled In the sticky fluid and finds it difficult to escape. Finally he succumbs. We are glad, as that is the end for which we have striven. By becoming acquainted with him and gratifying him, we conquer. r Courtesy is only treating others as we want to be treated. No one wants to be ignored nor answered abruptly nor led to understand he is not wanted, nor led to believe that he is socially, physicaH ly or morally inferior.

highly appreciated more that MT. Duke, in the midst of the gay whirl of Atlantic City, and, his pleasant surroundings, a
 porch party last week at the Ambas- sador where the Dukes are ensconced for the summer season, for his charming lit- tie grandsons, Angler B. and Anthony with the little Wanamaker, de Herren, Barnett and Hum children as his guests, and all the other delightful social affairs at tneir height, to introduce two news paper girls, bring them together and give them the pleasure of "comparing notes."
 Courtesy" that oft-apused term, finds charming Interpretation at Miss Tay- lors hands, and this is the way she ex- presses it:
 Much has been written and said on the subject of courtesy, but not too much, as 1t is one of the biggest assets a man can possess. It has often been said of person, One thing I like about him is that he, is always polite and good man ners go long way with me- Good man. ners go long way with the majority of us. and those who make a practice of using them realize a deeper sense of hap piness and receive a great many of the worlds blessings denied to tho others. Our courteous attitude reflects on those around us and our associates accept our ways as theirs. Else why is 1t that large groups of people who work together will be more uniformly the same?
 "There are two stores in nearby large city, whose atmosphere is quite con- trasted. In the first, one meets with smiles and considerations; in the second. one is 5ostled, bumped and frowned upon. This is true at every counter and on every floor of the two stores. The for mer place attracts us and we want to spend our money there: the latter repels us and we wish to avoid it.
 .'Those who work. in the first place are happy and contented; those in the second are grumblins and dissatisfied. The presence of courtesy between the employees and between employees and pa irons has strong tendency to bring about the conditions that exist in the one store and the absence of it is surely mostly responsible for the environment in the other.
 Tt does not take much experience to realize the truth of the old saying, More flies are caught by molasses than vine gar.' Supposing that we are after flies, we certainly would not attempt to at tract them with what time has shown

@ N Thursday. September 2. the
 open meeting at the home of Mrs. J. D. Moore, Jr, on Milner Cres- cent, to introduce Mrs. Harriet Futile Bartlett. the well known author and lecturer. Mrs. Bartlett's work is one of especial service in that 1t bridges the seeming gulf between scientific and religious thought. The following Is from an Atlanta paper:
 Harriet Futile Bartlett who lectured on "Our Glorious Destiny" last night, makes some very interesting comments on the warfare between science and the Scriptures. She brings to the in- depreciation of the sacred records of the past a system of universal sym bols that is remarkably Illuminating, showing that beneath the letter of the

BETTER BABIES

The crusade for better babies has spread from coast to coast, and taken firm hold of American mothers. Few women realize how much the i'll health of the mother influences the unborn child, both physically and mentally.
