represented as milking In IA photograph
taken las. July while he was on n
vacation at his fathers farm In Ply

In explaining the misrepresentation

who was his host rccem.y. Governor
Coolidge said that that COW was a
creature OF temperament and insisted
on being MIXED indoors The picture
released TO the press hst summer,
showed yhe candidate in the accepted
position ior milking, and apparently
getting results.
"You see. he said. "she had always
been accustomed TO being milkcd IN

with b pail and milking stool she ma

AMOUNT OF LOSS UNDETERMIN-

CALLED TO ASSIST IN
ALTON

Fire. believed to have been Of in
cendiary origin, completely destroyed
che brick building located at 800 Ord
avenue northeast last night.
The fireman received the call at
about 1915 o'clock and had the blaze
under control within As minutes. The
ruins were still smoking early this
afternoon. Three lines of hose were
hid to combat The flames.
More than dozen automobiles
and a large quantity Of accessories
were destroyed by the fire Also 900
bales Of hay, the property Of c. Il.
Smith, owner of the building, were
either burned or soaked with water.
The amount Of Uhe loss is difficult
TO determine due to the fact that many
of the automobiles were cllssed a.
junk. while others appear to have had
some value. At any rate they were
permanently put out of commission by
the blaze.
Mr.. Smhh estimates the loss to his
building at several thousand dollars
The loss was not covered by insur-
ance.
Mr. Smith stated that he had leased
the property some time ago to Joe
Rasansky, 10 be used as a junk shop
for a period Of two years. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Rasansky informed Mr..
Smith that due TO a slump in busi-
ness. he no longer desired 10 occupy
the building and turned the keys over
TO Mr.. Smith. II was then that Mr..
Smith gained knowledge Of the fact
that Rasansky had sublet a portion
OF the building TO j. w. Blivens 70 be
used as an automobile shop, This had
been done without knowledge or con-
sent of the owner of the property
and Mr. Smith ordered Blevins to move
