Farmer-Labor Policy.
There are some things in govern
ment that he does not believe can be
cured by legislation. His friends
will indeed be surprised If he lends
any encouragement to the plan of
some of the farmer-labor group to
have the government go into the
wheat business. His mind doesn't
run that way, for IL It did he would
probably favor the government going
into the boot and shoe business. run
ming chain of grocery stores or SIM
liar other activities.
He probably will take the view
that there Is altogether too much
government in business now and that
the government would only be justi-
fed in taking up such forms of state
socialism as are made necessary by
a great crisis or, perchance, to avert
a panic.

Calvin Coolidge has entered his
United States Politicians still are
fiocking in droves to Washington to
see and talk with him about his
policies. Some were sent for. Most
of them invited themselves. What
ever their motive, the President is
glad to see them. He likes to see
men. and to get their ideas on public
questions. as well as to learn the
needs of the different sections of the
country.
Although Calvin Coolidge is typf-
cal New Englander. he is also a
broad gauged American. He likes to
hear what people have to say-his
capacity for listening is unlimited.
To the scores of persons who al
ready have had audiences with the
ability to listen, together with his
power to absorb information, have
been a source of amazement. Mr..
Coolidge will even listen attentively
to the man who has a cure for all the
ills of the body polite. But few
away with an inkling of the thoughts
in the mind of the President.
Has "POker Face"
Generally one can tell what i'm
preston one makes on an individual
by the facial expression and the ques-
tions and answers of the man or
woman addressed. But not SO with
President Coolidge. He has what
westerners call a poker face" It's
hard to tell what cards he holds from
anything he says or does. He keeps
the other fellow guessing all the
time. Such experienced readers of
human character as Senator Jim Wat
son of Indiana and Col. Harvey came
and saw and had so little success
conquering that they went away
batfied by the astute Yankee who sue
ceeded Warren Harding in the White
House.
What a story for some mind-read-
er-if one could read the thoughts
of the new President and the impress
sions of him in the minds of his
prominent party associates. 1t would
make mighty interesting political
reading, but, also. 1t is not possible,
for President Coolidge seldom let's
his right hand know what his left is

Custom Comes From Sunny Italy
Where Poor First Used Long
Knitted Purses.

~ATT1 HE custom of hanging up
XII stockings on Christmas Eve
&3EyI comes to us from land far
across the ocean from
sunny Italy.
In the city of Padue, long ago, gooo
old st. Nicholas used to so about tho
streets after dark and throw through
the windows of the homes Of the poor
people long knitted purses, tied al
both ends, and containing much need
ed coins. These purses were made Of
yarn, and when united looked not UNI
like a footless stocking.
Finally, as time went on, the poor
people, hoping thus to remind the
more fortunate of their needs, used to
hang these empty purses out of the
windows on the night before Christ
mas, so that gift might be placed
In them.
In the north country, where the
weather Is cold at Christmas time. the
purses were hung by the chimney
place in the hope that ST. Nicholas
would drop his offering down the
chimney.
When the purses went out Of fashio!
stockings as the thing most like then
were used In their stead, and that II
why we today still observe the prac
tice and the custom.

ATT 1RISTMAS Is not merely 4

~ folklore Of other countries
are several quaint stories
In which animals and birds give evil

of world-adoratlon. They claim that
on the holy day "the sun In the east
bowed down, the stars stood still; the
mountains and forests shook and
touched the earth with their SUBMITS,

grass wns be-flowered with the open

myrrh pervaded upland and forest !;
birds sang OH the mountain tops and
all give thanks to the great God"
In Bosnia on Christmas Day sheaf

An old Indian legend says that on
Christmas night all the deer In the

who tries to spy upon them. He Is
punished with perpetual stlffening Of
the knees.
Many people Of the Old World
claim that on Christmas night animals
are gifted with speech. but none must
trespass or eavesdrop.
Many and many have been the tales
which account for tht robins red

he is called the Savior's bird, and a
story is told that when the Christ was

His suffering, ventured to pluck the
thorns from Ills head. In doing so, the
blood stained the robins breast, which
sign he wears today.
