bottomless moneybag, that opens and

over which farmer presides, and
which he refers to as the Department
of Agriculture, he has found out that
sugar furnishes II per cent OF the to-
tai energy or fuel value of all foods
consumed in the United States. And
as this energy is what makes the mare
go it follows that big chunk of the
progress, and also of the erratic think
ing of this day, may be attributed to
sugar, or charged to the account OF
sugar.
The original internal combustion
engine is the human body. 1t pointed

NEW MEXICO CAVES
BELIEVED LARGEST
VAST STRETCHES OF CAV
ERNS PENETRATED 10 MILES.
$21, 100000 FOR SURVEY.

VAN HORN, Texas.-It is belev-
ed by Judge J. C. Hunter of Van
Horn, that the famous caves at Carls-
| bad, n. NJ, which are now being ex-
plored and surveyed, will be found to
be the largest in the world. The cav
erns are all connected by passages
and have common outlet to the sur
face. Judge Hunter has made several
exploration trips to the. caves and he
is greatly impressed with their gran
deur and vastness.
"The National Geographic Society
appropriated $4,000 to survey the
caves. To this congress added $4,000
and geographic and government en-
gineers are on the ground t. do the
work." he said. "None OF them has
penetrated to the farthest recesses of
the caverns, and it remains to be seen
whether they will succeed in doing
so.
Have Penetrated 10 Miles.
1T is difficult to describe the Carls-
bad caves One reason for this is be-
cause they are so vast they have new
er been explored. The most venture
some explorers have never gone be-
yond about 10 miles from the en-
trance. How much farther the caves
extend no one knows and there are
not even any good theories on the
subject feel quite sure, however,
that it will be found they are I'M
doubtedly the largest caves in the
United States, if not in the world.
What we call the big room in the
caves is three-fourths OF mile long,
! 400 feet across at its widest place,
and | suppose it is conservative to
say that the ceiling is $50 feet above
the floor This is the equivalent of a
stretch of II city blocks in length. No
architect could design and no artist
portray the beauties this room con-
tains.
Room for Hundreds of Autos.
There is another place in these
caverns where the floor, perfectly
smooth, stretches away an amazing
distance in the darkness. You could
park many hundreds of automobiles
there
AT present the caves are rather dif-
| flcult of access. To enter them one
must descend in a mine buck down a
shaft 200 feet deep. However, the en-
gineers hope to be able to make a
boring into the side of the mountain
which will afford easy access. The real
beauties of the place are not encoun-
tered until you get three miles from
the entrance

Billy is the daughter OF J. P. Neel,

and groom are free.
1t seems, from information received
that the father OF the girl had the war
rant issued for Bronco Billy charging
that he had kidnapped his daughter
and alleging that she was only four
teen years old. According to reports
the man claimed that he and the girl
were married, when first approached
in a hotel at Harlem, but it subse-
quently developed that they were not.
He was placed under arrest and put
in jail
A short time after the keys of the
Jail door locked the ardent Redskin

senger of love was on the way to APP
ping, the county seat. The messen-
ger returned with the states authori-
ty and its aid in the form of mar
rage license, the immediate use OF
which automatically opened the doors
OF the jail.
Not to be outdone, the father OF the
happy little bride is reported to be
seeking legal advice as to how to pre-
vent the Indian brave from taking to
his wigwam his little paleface squaw.

SLEEPS IN PEACEFUL
COUNTRY CHURCHYARD
PRESIDENTS SON BURIED IN
VERMONT. SIMPLE SERVICE
IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With sim
pie ceremonies no different than those
which would take place in any other
American home the President and
Mrs. Coolidge Wednesday evening
poured out the grief of their hearts at
the bier of their youngest son, Calvin
Coolidge, Jr
A simple but impressive funeral
was held in the east room of the
white house, ATTENDED by government
officials, ranking military officers.
members of the diplomatic corps and
intimate friends of the family.
On the white house lawn several
heads during the ceremony, having
come to give visible expressions OF
their sympathy.
Repress Their Grief.
Typical of their New England re-
serve, President and Mrs. Coolidge
depressed outward manifestations of
their grief.
Leaving Washington at 9 O'Clock
tonight they took their boy back to
their home at Northampton, Mass,
and thence to Plymouth, VT, for bur
ial Final interment was at o'clock
Thursday afternoon in little country
churchyard, near where he romped
about when a small boy.
Funeral services at the white house,
conducted by the Rev. Jason Noble
Pierce, pastor of the Congregational
church of Washington, consisted of
prayer, scripture reading and the sing
ing of several psalms by quartet.
There was no eulogy or sermon.
At Northampton services were held
in the Congregational church at 10
O'Clock Thursday morning, with the
Rev. Kenneth B. Wells in charge.
Following services at Northampton
the funeral party went by train to
Ludlow, VT, and then by automobile
to Plymouth, VT, distance Of II
miles along a rough and narrow coun-
try road.
Under Spruce and Maple.
The funeral procession OF automo-
biles, more than mile in length,
wound its way under a blue sky be-
tween the tall green mountains to the
cemetery on the slope of the hill.
There the president and Mrs. Cool
idge left their son near the presidents
birthplace, in the family lot, close by
the resting place of Mr.. Coolidge's
mother.
The grave, under the shade OF
spruce and sugar maple trees, is little
distant from the farm of John Cool
idge, father of the president, where
young Calvin had spent many sum
mer vacations.
A momentary rest upon arrival was
taken at the home of Colonel John {.
Coolidge, father of the president, who,
despite his advanced years, personally
completed all arrangements for the
burial of his beloved grandson.
The scene was far more inspiring
and dramatic in its simplicity than
had young Calvin been accorded the
highest honors nation can give.
There was real grief. There was real
tribute.
Return to Washington.
Immediately after young Calvlns
body was lowered to its last earthly
resting place the funeral party re-
turned to Washington.
