SUMMER WHITE HOUSE TO BE
WOODS HOLE AFTER JUNE Is
Executive to Recuperate In
Home Of Chas. R. Crane,
Minister to China.
BY FRANK X. LAMB,

Copyright. 1920, by The Washington Times
Company
Woods Hole, a secluded village on
the southern extremity of the Massa-
chusetts capes, will be the location
Of the summer White House this
year.
This fact developed today as a
result of the President and Mrs.
Wilson accepting the offer of Charles
R. Crane, of Chicago, new American
Minister to China, to occupy his
magnificent summer home, situated
on a rocky, picturesque point over
looking Vineyard Sound and Buzz
Yards Bay, during the latter part of
June and July and August.
Plans for the Presidents trip to
the Massachusetts resort, and prep
arations for his occupancy of the
seashore home of Mr.. Crane will be
begun this week.
May Go on Mayflower.
There has been such steady i'm
provement in the Presidents health
during the past few weeks that it
is quite possible he will make the
journey on the Presidential yacht,
the Mayflower, which is undergoing
extensive repairs and renovations.
This, however, is a detail dependent
upon later conditions. In any event,
the Mayflower will go to Woods
Hole, which has a deep and commo-
dious harbor.
Mr.. Crane has made plans to leave
for his diplomatic post in China
on April 90, and has arranged to
give the President immediate control
of his summer home in order that
the usual extraordinary prepara-
tions may be taken for the Presi-
Dental party at Woods Hole.
Official Family Going.
DR.. Cary T. Grayson, personal
physician to the President, and Joseph
p. Tumulty, secretary to the Presi-
dent. together with a staff from the
executive offices here. will accompany
the President and Mrs. Wilson. A
large force Of secret service opera
tives will also be on hand, as usual.
1t may be said that no political
Significance attaches to the decision
Of President Wilson. as he has no in
tention OF relaxing his keen and &C
tive interest in matters affecting
either the whole peace treaty or the
welfare of the Democratic party. This
may be based on the best opinion OF
those in closest touch with him.
OF course, the adjournment of Con-
gress may determine the date Of the
Presidents departure from the Ma
tional Capital, as he intends to have
his official business in satisfactory
shape before leaving. 1t is confident
ly believed. however, that both Sem
ators and Congressman will not crave
a warm Washington In preference to
Back. Home"
Goes on Grsyson's Advice.
The decision of the President to
spend the summer in a cooler cline
was essentially due to the advice of
DR.. Grayson, who believes the change
of environment for his patient will be
a diversion that will aid materially in
his complete recovery to normal
health.
Woods Hole was selected as the
summer home of the President only
after careful consideration had been
given 20 other resorts recommended

SEEK HARMONY
BETWEEN ROAD
DEPARTMENT and
COMMISSIONERS

A better understanding between the
State Road Department and the Coun
ty Commissioners of Polk is the aim
of the Lakeland Chamber Of Commerce.
and a committee to further that end
was appointed at the luncheon OF the
Membership Council of the Chamber
Of Commerce today. The purpose is
that the county may get some benefit
Of about $4,000 now to the credit of
this county for auto licenses, bur
which is not available for the season
that the State Road Department and
the County Commissioners are unable
to agree as to its disposition. It is
hoped that the two bodies may be
brought together and an amicable un-
derstanding arrived at.
The matter came up in the discus
sion of the road work, and the pro-
posed additional bond.issue for $780,
coo, petition for an election on which
is being presented to the County Com
missioners today, while no specific ac
ton was taken the expressions Of
those present indicated that II the
commissioners would do something to-
ward building the short connection be-
tween Foxtown and Auburndals Lake
county road, giving Lakeland a
through road to the Lake county line,
the bond issue might be voted; other.
wise, its chances seem dubious.
1t was reported that a virtual
agreement had been reached with the
city for providing a public comfort
station in the park, and that 1t was
also planned to erect a couple Of
tents in the park to provide head
quarters for the tourists.

Florida, having accepted
very urgent call to the pastorate Of
the church at that place.
The reason for the severance OF
his relationship to the local congre-
cation is the condition of his health
which for several years has been such
that the Tennessee winters are too
severe for him. Last winter was spent
d Florida and finding the climate so
much better for him, he felt that he
should go there before cold weather
and so handed in his resignation that
for the same reason, was accepted
with regret by the church session.
Brother Eshman is one of the
strongest preachers this town has ev-
er had. A man of ripe scholarship,
broad vision and splendid courage, his
sermons have many admirers; and as
q man his big hearted socialibility to-
gether with the scrupulous financial
Integrity, has made all our people
without regard to church affiliations
his cordial friends. His conceptions
o, civic obligations are of the loftiest
and in every public and patriotic
movement, he has filled a very large
place in what is best in our community
life, and, we, who are his friends, feel
indeed doubtful Of finding another ca
pable Of taking his place.
Lawrenceburg gives this clean-lived,
courageous minister of God to Lake
land, with regret that he must leave
us, but with congratulations on her
good fortune in securing his services.
I'm his charming wife and bright
little son, the Lakelanders will And
that quite an addition has been made
to church and social circles.

FOR LOUISIANA,

Ruston, La, June 19.-The loss Of
two dairy barns and Is head of Jersey
