his hat into the ring, saying that "tO

crowning honor Of them all, one that

his position on various leading issues.

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE is the first
l. chief executive which the New Eng
land states have given the nation in
seventy years, the last one from that
section being Franklin Pierce Of New
Hampshire, who took Office in 1853.
Mr.. Coolidge, lawyer by profession,
after holding many municipal and
state offices in Massachusetts,, became
governor of the state in 1919 and dur
ing his first term sprang into national
prominence because of the manner in
which he handled the police strike in
Boston. Regardless Of political con-
sequences and with calm nerve, he ut
terly squelched the movement.
What he did in that grave crisis
to stay the forces of disaster, to up
hold American institutions and vindi-
cate the principles of law won him
commendatiOn from governors, United
States senators, members Of the house
and from host of men prominent in
and out of public life.
Woodrow Wilson, then president of
the United States, although of the op-
posite political faith, took occasion to
send a message to Governor Coolidge
in which he lavished praise upon him
for the courageous stand he had taken
in that emergency.
Nominated for second term as gov
ernor, he was opposed by Richard e.
Long. who pledged himself to rein
state the striking policemen If he were
elected. This became the main issue
and Mr.. Coolidge was triumphantly re-
elected. In the Republican national
convention of 1920 he was the choice
of the Massachusetts delegation 1or
the presidential nomination and re-
mained in the running until the tenth
and final ballot had been taken. He
was nominated for vice president on
the first ballot, the vote being made
unanimous.
During the campaign Mr.. Coolidge,
in the course of a number of speeches,
vindicated his reputation for inde-
pendence, although in the main he
went along" with the policies pro-
claimed by Mr.. Harding and embodied
in the party platform. On what was
one of the leading issues of the cam
paign-the League of Nations issue
Coolidge was not as orthodox as some
of the Republican leaders might have
desired.

the storm was over.
Train time was long past. Sandy
knew nothing of the change of sched-
ule. but he was confident of winning
clear. He knew a man in the little
town they were aiming for whose liv-
cry stable was, in the march of the
times, divided between horses and ma
chimes. There he expected to put up
the horses until they could be re-
turned to Three Star, and there he
figured on hiring car and driver
if, as he anticipated, there were no
more trains that night. He believed
that Mormon and Sam had delayed
the sheriff. Probably the latter had
given up the chase, but there was no
telling. They should lose no time In
getting out of the state.

Sandy Returns.
Eight days passed before Sandy
came riding back on Goldie, leading
the bay, reaching the Three Star at
the end of sunset. Mormon was in
his chair with the one letter that
Sandy had written, on his lap.
Sandy pulled in the mare beyond
the corral. He could hear the sound
of Sans harmonica and pictured him

with Mormon waddling after, too
swiftly for his best ease or grace of
motion, both grabbing at Sandy, swat

question after question about the trip.

Sandy led the way on the mare to
a shelving bench, place where ne
had camped once long before and,
with his ut-of-doors-man's craft,
never forgotten. Molly was tired al
most to insensibility as to what might
be going on, soaked and chilled to
limpness. Sandy got her out OF the
saddle and into a shallow cave in

a fire was leaping and sending light
and warmth into her nook.

Coming down from the mesa he had

Molly had listened silently.
They entered the little town. once

VALLEY LEAGUE
GIVES CALEXECO
DISPUTED GAME
BY OWEN T. MILLER
High School Reporter

The. Imperial Valley Interscholas-
tic League last night decided that
the FL CentroCaleXico game played
at Calexico on Armistiec Day, should
be awarded to CaleXico. The game
ended with Calcxico haSin9 made
six points on touchdown and one
point on try for point or seven
points in all. III Centre made 4
touchdown and missed try for point,
making six points. FL Centro tack
led the Calexieo ftllbaek, who was
trying to run the ball from behind
his own goal line after the ball had
been thrown over his head by the
Calexico center. This according to
Spalding'S rule book counts two
points and according to the referee
no points.
FL Centre protested on the
grounds that points should be award,
ed according to the rule book. Ca
lexieo's argument was that the ref
cree was unable to see the play.
The decision will be appealed to
the California Intcrscholastic FEEDER
alton in Los Angeles.
The c. /. F. is the supreme court
on athletic judgment in California,
their decision being final.
1t is expected at the next meeting
Of this court, which viii be held
December %, that the decision of
the valley league viii be over ruled,
thereby giving the championship to
FL Centre.
The Rotary Club has invited the
entire football squad to q luncheon
to be given at the Barbara Worth
hotel tomorrow.
The Rotary Club has been behind
the local team all season, backing
them at all the games and giving
their moral support.
Coach Armstrong wishes TO extend
his thanks and appreciation to the
Rotary Club and to those who have
shown their interest in the games
during the season.

Christmas Spirit
Abroad In
The Land

Today's grey sky and chilly
weather, together with the alluring
Christmas displays in the windows
of many of the stores of this city
makes the Spirit of Christmas rise
up and warn us that before we real
ize it, the holidays will be upon us.
Quite a festive appearance may
be noted in the local shops, Il num-
ber of which are elaborately decor
&ted with the holiday colors of red
and green, with sparkling tinsel and
appropriate displays. Christmas
trade is becoming brisk, many of the
merchants report.
One of the attractive decorative
schemes carried out in one of the
drug stores consists of semi-circular
canopies of red and green, while
over the fountain an elaborate crepe
paper and tinsel combination pro
duces r most artistic effect. Smoke
bush, colored red and green, has
been used in the novel and beautiful
decorations of another store.
Many windows contain California
fruits and nuts displayed i'll allur-
ing baskets all ready for eastera
shipment. Toys in abundance and
colored arcade lights also add their
cheerful note TO the gay atmos-
phere.
in preparation for the Christmas
season, another company has arrang-
ed a clever display in their show
window on Sixth street. The scene
is typical of Christmas in the East,
the ground being covered with
"snow.' Santa Claus, with his big
sled and reindeer are shown in min
iature, prancing toward house to
deliver Christmas presents. The I'M
perial Valley cotton was used for
the "snow' scenes.
