Town Shoe Repairer, Friend,
Philosopher and Guide of
Vice President.
HELPS TO SHAPE HIS CAREER
Friendship Begun in College Days
Continues Through Early Strug-
giles and Subsequent Promi-
nence in Politics.

Northampton. Mass.-James Lucey,
member OF shoes, is pegging away in
his shop here with one eye on the
newspapers for word of how the m.
uonal capital treats Calvin Coolidge,
his one-time associate In local politics,
and now vice president.
When Vice President Coolidge. lust
before departing for Washington re-
Gently. grasped the cobbler's hand as
the photographers snapped their cam
eras, lie gave him distinction that
he was asked to explain. Put Mr..
Lucey down as my guide, philosopher
and friend" he said. And so the
ccbbler Is now nationally known.
What the vice president meant was
more or less well known to Northamp.
ton folk. The story goes back to the
days when Calvin Coolidge was a soph.
omore at Amherst college. With shoes
10 be repaired he sought Lucey's shor
on Gothic street In this city, and then
remained to listen to the cobbler's
homely comments on the topics of the
day.
Helped to Shape Career.
The student found the shoemaker's
philosophy so engaging that during the
remainder of his college course he
went frequently to see him. Az n
lawyer later young Coolidge opened
Offices here, and while he waited for
clients, continued his acquaintance
with the cobbler. Throughout his ca
reer In the politics of the city end
state, Mr.. Coolidge dropped In at the
shoe shop from time to time to ex.
change IDEAS with his friend and have
the benefit Of the latter's pointed DO.
Iitical observations
The youthful Coolidge took away
lessons from the cobbler counsellor :
Coolidge, the candidate, received the
benefit of his influence, which was
considerable in city politics. and when
he rose to position OF state and
national prominence he still received
the loyal support of the shoe man.
Mr.. Lucey, modestly explaining that
Mr.. Coolidge long since passed out
of his range of influence, admits that
he may have been of some help when
the vice president was on the first
rungs of the political ladder.
Cement Closer Friendship.
The cobbler says that the only time
he ever crossed Calvin Coolidge seemed
TO make firmer the friendship between
them. Mr.. Coolidge had sought the
election of friend as mayor, and
asked Mr.. fLucey as delegate to the
party caucus to stand in his behalf.

Diamond Mine Found

diamond, and thus far the only dia-
monds found In the western hemis-
phere In their matrices are those of
Pike county.
Diamonds have been found In some
twenty-five states, in Canada and
South America. but always in river
beds where, biologists surmise, they
have been washed by the waters, or
in places where 1t is presumed they
have been deposited by glacial action.
The first Arkansas diamond was
found In 1906 by John Huddleston,
then owner of the farm on which the
'slxty-acre pipe" is located, by acct
dent. Huddleston observed outcrop-
pings of the gray-green rock, since
classed as peridotite, and came to the
conclusion that his hillsides contained
valuable mineral, perhaps copper. At

anything which looked to him like
mineral, he picked up crystal, and

The mining operations In Arkansas

different from those of the South
African fields, although the formations
are the same.
In Africa deep shafts are sunk, the
peridotite is brought to the surface
and spread on drying floors for periods
ranging from six to eighteen months.
The rock has the peculiar quality of
disintegrating when exposed to the air.
In Arkansas. however. except for q
few places, the peridotIte already has
disintegrated to depth of about
twenty feet, and mixed with vegetable
matter formed a sticky clay, called
"gumbo" locally. This overburden of
"gumbo" will be worked before blast
