Coolidge Well Qualified,

President Coolidge enters upor
his duties better equipped for
them iu some respects than any OF
his predecessors. He has the
background of an excellent admin
istration as governor of Massachu'
setts. Men who revere the con.
stitution and the sacred traditions
of the nation have the satisfaction
of knowing that the new presi-
dents feet are planted squarely on
the basic principals of orderly
government. When an appeal
was made that he provide for ne,
gotiation in controversy involv
ing the performance of their duty
by public officers he responded
promptly, The laws of the state
of Massachusetts cannot be ne
gotiated." He is sound, and he is
courageous.
Other vice presidents have had
valuable executive experience, and
have been able and conscientious
men, but none of them had the
close contact with the regular
work of the government that it
has been the good fortune of Cal
vim Coolidge to enjoy. During
the campaign resulting in his
election Mr.. Harding said that it
was his purpose, if elected, to
make the vice president virtually
a member of the cabinet, not by
placing him ia charge of a depart
ment, but by inviting him to meet
with the cabinet regularly, to par.
ticipate in it's discussions, ard to
share in the making of its decis-
ions. That purpose was carried
out, and the vice president of the
republic has occupied q seat at the
cabinet table. The value of that
experience is inestimable. The
new president has been in personal
contact with the work of the ad-
ministration during two and a
nalf years. He knows what prob
lens are to be met, what compli.
cations are to he Strengthened out,
and what methods are most likely
to give success in handling the
vast and varied work of the ma
tion.

The farmers of Minnesota are
going into the business of pooling
and selling their potatoes. If they
pick a conscientious man to head
the organization, they have a
chance to succeed. If the manager
they choose is grasplng and selfish,
or il he disregards the interests Of
others, the movement will fail.
The movement will never succeed
merely because the plan of opera
tion is right. 1t will succeed only
by proper management. Every
farmer who signs a potato contract
ought to find out hcw. his organiz-
alton is progressing. If it is cost.
ing $500 or $1,000 to sign up a
contract for which the farmer
pays $500, the organization is
failing and will soon come to grief.
Right now there is a big danger
threatening the new cooperative
movement. 1t is the old repetition
of over paid organizers and mis-.
management.

Indian Administration.

complete control of the Indian
Bureau for 80 years. Assistant
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
Washington, D. G. But I do say
that there is no government in the
history of the world that has
treated a dependent people more
literally than the Government OF
the United States has treated the
Indians of this country"
Is it the fault of the Indian to
be dependent? Did the Indians
bring this dependency upon them
selves by virtue of human in
stinct9 Should the Indian race of
this most civilized nation in the
world vanish as a dependent ward?
Is there a just reason and cause
for this? Here is the cause, the
Indian Bureau is a machine de-
signed to civilize the Indian at the
expense of the tax payers of the
United States and a portion of
tribal funds. There is employed
under the Bureau from 5000 to
5000 employees to supervise and
superintend less than $4,000 In

This steam roller process of the

MONTGOMERY CLUB WOMEN
 PLAN FOR CLUBHOUSE

One of the very first things that Mrs. Mortimer Futile begun to plan for after she accepted the office as president of the Montgomery Fedora tion of Women's Clubs, was a club house, and since that time all clubs in the federation have been told of various plans to make money to start clubhouse fund, and judging from recent reports from the differ ent clubs, it would seem that Mont gomery women are now ready for a clubhouse, and in the next few years will bend all their efforts toward that goal.
 The Athenean club in this city was the first club to start the clubhouse fund which they did by giving a benefit card party at the Country club Tuesday afternoon. Under the capable management of Mrs. Jack Lovett and her able assistants a substantial sum was realized, which Is the first deposit for the clubhouse fund. Other clubs are planning va rious forms of entertainment during the winter, which will each month add to this special fund until the time Is not far distant in the future when the club women in this city can do as other women did in other cities and see their dreams realized in a beautiful clubhouse.
 There are now 21 clubs in the fed eration, and others to join in the early fall. One of the many needs for clubhouse is to have an audi torium, where the different clubs can meet, where womens conventions can be held, and where all forms of club work can be transacted in the proper way. Mrs. Futile, president of the federation, feels very much encour- aged at the progress already made and predicts that ere this club year draws to a close she will see her fondest hopes realized

HOUSEKEEPING HINTS

Utilize Cranberry Skins-When cooking cranberries and after strain ing them I do not throw away the skins but place them In small pot, add some sugar and little water and let boil a few minutes until thick. After cooling I find I have a nice spread for bread.
 Bread Crust-If you wish a very tender crust on your bread rub the warm leaves with butter, and for a crisp crust rub with the beaten white of an egg.
 Boiling Cracked Eggs-A good way to use cracked eggs for boiling is to add some salt to the water before boiling and no part will escape into the water.
 To Keep Fat From Burning-When frying doughnuts or oysters in deep fat drop a pared potato into the fat to keep 1t from burning.
 Brown Pie Crust-When making pies brush the top crust with cold milk before putting pie in oven and 1t will brown nicely.

COOL SILK PAJAMAS FOR SUMMER
 We spend most of our time think ing about the dresses coats and mats that we wear in the daytime and eve nings but at the same time we truly love beautiful things to wear at night silk nighties and riotous pa tamas. What girl Is not wild about those georgeously colored things that seem too wonderful to just sleep in and who would not like to have something like them to take away for the vacation or week-end partyY
 In the picture we have the simplest form Of the pajama, that can be made by any one. /The upper part is made of TWO suuares of the material gathered at the top onto narrow band of contrasting color. The arm holes are cut wide and edged with a wide band of other color which is also used for the band and all around the bottom of both the upper and lower parts of the suit. The trouser section is made very easily, the two legs are made full and ample and an elastic is run through the hem at the top.
 The variety of the combination of colors and designs that can be used in these pajamas is so great that there is grave temptation to make 8 lot of pajamas to live in and Tor get our other clothes.
 
 There is always a time when one more dress seems an absolute ne- cessity, and the best sort is wash able, dainty, inexpensive one, A girl I knew made very pretty little dotted swiss dress out of few yards of material and an oId cream colored lace bertha.
 The dress was made with two lengths of material, sewed on to the edge of the lace collar, one in front and one in back, with deep hem at the bottom. The sleeves, which were very full, were gat>ered onto the lace also, and cut straight. A little band of dotted swiss held the gathers in at the wrist.
 Nothing could be much simpler than the dress in the picture. but by leaving the sleeves out altogether a very partyish dress is achieved and one which can be worn in the hottest weather quite comfortably Also if one is unable to get a lace bertha or large lace collar, rows of narrow lace on a net foundation would do nicely.

GIRL SCOUTS ENJOYING . LIFE An CANTn nnmAnvy

If parents and friends are in doubt as to the welfare of girls at camp, they should visit Camp Rotary for the next two weeks, while the Girl Scouts of this city are In camp, and see for themselves the wholesome lie of the camp and the happy and Gare-t free attitude of each girl there. TO get 50 splendid girls together, Who work while they work and play at given times, and see them at work ana at play leaves picture in ones mind not soon to be forgotten.
 sixty Girl Scouts, headed by Miss Lucky Dlrr, left the city Monday for Camp Rotary, in Elmore county for three weeks stay Shortly after ar irving at camp, everything was Tn oruer, and when supper was an- nounced camp was in perfect order. The camp activities are in charge Of Miss Durr and she is assisted by Il captains and lieutenants, all inter ested and keenly alive to the duties and responsibilities of the camp and It's activities. Groups of girls are taking courses in various modes of scoutcraft, with trained leaders in charge. Swimming is one of the many recreations for the girls, and two life-savers are in attendance at tho pool all during swimming hours, to give instructions, and also to as- gist any who may need help. Miss Eunice Ward of the state health de- partment is the nurse in charge, and she also is going lessons in first aid.
 Miss Eva Brown, a domestic sci- ence teacher of great prominence, Is in charge of the housekeeping, and the scouts directors feel that a wiser selection could not have been made, for Miss Brown was formerly con- nected with the Sidney Lanier High school faculty and is thoroughly fla miliar with planning a well-balanced and substantial meal.
 From the sound of the bugle in the morning until taps in the evening every hour of the day is filled with something of interest for the girls, whether work or play, and after sup per- which is, after all, the pleas- antest part of the day to the camp CTS, the scouts gather around a big bonfire, and then 1t is that the rea fun of the day takes place. Jokes are told, stunts given and campfire songs sung with all the pep and en- thusiasm of young girlhood, until the hours pass as if on wings.
 Parents and friends of the scouts are invited to visit the camp on Sat- urdays and Sundays They will be given a cordial welcome by the scouts and their directors. The road from Montgomery to Camp Rotary is in good condition and the trip can be made in a short time.
