GOVERNOR COOLIDGE
 TAKING REST CURE
 ON VERMONT FARM

PLYMOUTH, Vt, July 1S.--Govern- or Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, Republican nominee for vice president. is Ion a rest" With Mrs. Coolidge and their two sons, John and Calvin, he is on his fathers farm in the hills of Vermont He finds the best way to rest is to rise early and help his father do the farm work.
 The farm, a hiIly one situated at the top of Plymouth notch, consists of over 200 acres, partly wooded and part ly cultivated. Long meadows of hay and oats are banked with fruit trees, heavily laden with sweet Vermont ap- pies and juicy plums.
 The farm house, sandwiched be- tween the Plymouth cheese factory and the home of Governor Coolidge's s aunt. Mrs. J. J. Wilder, is cozy New green blinds.
 The governor has risen at o'clock every morning since his arrival on his 48th birthday. July 4. He usually puts on his grandfather's toga, consisting of an old flannel shirt. denim trousers and old fashioned cowhide boots, made at the Plymouth tannery in 1858
 He recites with interest the history of the boots They were made for his grandfather when he was elected to the legislature at Montpelier in 1858, and he wore them continually through out the session. Governor Coolidge wears them now when he tinkers around the farm.
 A frock which the governor Szyears when he works in the fields, is a relic of his grandfathers days. It is of denim and. slides over the head like an army shirt and is not unlike the frocks worn by artists. Tn it, the gov ernor portrays an entirely different man from the one who sits in the Bos- fny fNT Ia faIx a4f
 By way of adding to his hearty ap- petite for the splendid country cook ing prepared by his fathers housekeep- CT, the governor frequently goes into the meadows before the mist has cleared and mows a good sized corner of the field before the breakfast bell rings. He says it is much more invig- orating than golf and fully as re- munerative although he humorously adds that 'some chaps make more at golf than they would at farming"
 J. c. Coolidge has a. large wood pile in front of the house. Most of it was originally chopped for stove wood, but several chunks were left for the open fireplace. When the elderly farmer, who is 75 years old, returned from a fishing trip recently, he found all the larger pieces slithered to kndling and learned that "Cal" had spent part of the forenoon Justify swinging the axe. The old gentleman said nothing about the wood being intended for the fireplace, but smiled, went in the house and prepared an appetizing mess" of brook trout from the Ottaquechee. The governors father has been town constable for 40 years and member of the legislature for nearly as long. His aunt, Mrs. J. J. Wilder who is past 80 years, lives in the adjoining house. She and "Cal" sat all of one afternoon, reminiscing of the days when the town was snow bound and traffic impossible
 Governor Coolidge first learned of the nomination of Governor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Demo cratic ticket, the day after the nom nations were made. The stage driver, driving the old fashioned stage from Ludlow to Woodstock. brought the news from Ludlow. It was nearly a day old then. The governor had no statement to make regarding the Dem ocratic selections. When asked for one he said significantly that he was pre- pairing his speech for the notification ceremonies at Northampton, July 27. He expected to stay at his fathers farm until about July 23
 John and Calvin, the governors two sons, are ardent anglers like their ~~randfather and recently caught 22
 speckled trout. The governor himself
 $ not fisherman.
