A NEW ENGLAND PRESIDENT

President Coolidge is causing the professional politicians at Washington lot of uneasiness. He has talked very little, but there is nothing re- markable about that; he has been considered a silent sort of person. And because of his silence, and be- cause of the fact that there is less known of him than of any former vice. president who has been thus sud- denly called to the White House. said professionals are worrying. They don't ''get him." His silence irritates them. He has had two little conferences, both with regulars'-Senator Bran degee of this state and Senator Curtis of Kansas. Neither have disclosed the subject matter of their talks.
 And that brings up the point. We are not going to prophecy that Pres ident Coolidge will make a good president merely because he comes from New England. It would be ridi- culous to declare that he will be a good or a poor president His oppor- tunities are great: so are the oppor- tunities of all presidents Whether he will seize those opportunities or not remains to be seen, of course. But we of New England know a good deal
 
 about New England people generally, and Calvin Coolidge being a New Englander from the soles of his feet to the last hair on his head, must have some of the New England char acteristics which apply. more or less to our big men and our little men, President Coolidge's silence for the moment, for instance, is thoroughly understood, One can not imagine a New Englander taking his place as Chief Executive and immediately spouting his theories. Looking far ther at New England characteristics one may well believe that he will be conservative. against radical changes and loyal to his friends. The late President Harding was his friend The late president was conservative! Being New Englander we know that he will think long before he makes decision and will be pretty apt u stick to that decision when made. This must not be taken as unqualified praise of the new President, for New Englanders are sometimes wrong.
 New England people may well look about them at men who have come up to high places in life and judge Calvin | Coolidge by them. He will have many | of their characteristics, the good and | the bad. It would take volumes to | properly present the New England | character and such volumes are not | needed by New Englanders who know New England character by. constant intercourse with those who possess it. All we may do is to hope that Cal Vln Coolidge, the President, is inspired by the best so often seen in a man of this part of the country. If that is so all will go well. If, however he ac- centuates to too great degree the New England characteristics of delib- eration and conservatism which are fine and splendid if seen in modera- tion, the progress of the country will not be intensified. And it must be that President, even a New England President, would be stronger were he to have an individu- ality, personality, that would lift him out of the atmosphere of any one section of the country.

One Old Horse

Two years ago man and his wife
living in a small town in Somerset
County sold their farm and moved to
Massachusetts. They also sold to a
noighbor who had always been good
to his animals, an old horse that had
served them faithfully for many years.
A year later they learned that the
horse had been resold to man who
was noted for cruelty to his wife and
his animals, who had served a term
in prison. Much distressed by this
news, they wrote to the State Capitol
at Augusta asking the ,authoril les
there II anything could be done about
the matter. The letter was sent to
an agent of the Pine Tree Humane
Society in Gardiner who showed 1t to
our agent. The agent went at once
to the village, found that the facts
were exactly as had been stated in
the letter, bought and killed the old
horse, and compelled the man to re-
pair his barn, to provide bedding and
more food for his remaining two hors-
es. and to refrain from using one of
them that had a badly CALLED should

Do YOU know that we lost out TO

Not because we didn't win large

cause one community did all the ex-

Clubs can send exhibits and the
farm homes, all of which count as
much as the crop exhibits. Your
community chairman is to be asked
TO send some exhibit from his COM

some In every community who have
worth while to exhibit.
Don't forget. Do we want to be
beaten again by our neighboring
county? The answer is NO! but 1t IS
ND to each community to prove that
they believe in this answer by send
ing a community exhibit.
When an Individual wishes to exhi-
bit, send a duplicate and have it put
in the Farm Bureau exhibit, too. Win
two prizes instead of one. II you
have something worth while and In
