Coolidge Ideals, Voiced Years Ago
When President Was State Senator, -
y Reveal Lofty and Sound Principle

feet system that craftsmanship has
devised is representative government.
Its weakness is the weakness of US
imperfect human beings who admin
lister it. Its strength is that even such
administration secures to the people
more blessings than any other system
ever produced. No nation has dis
earded it and retained liberty. Repre-
sentative government must be pre-
served.
Courts are established, not TO de-
termine the popularity of cause, but
to adjudicate and enforce rights. No
litigant should be required to submit
his case to the hazard and expense of
a political campaign. No judge should
be-required to seek or receive politi-
cal rewards. The courts of Massa-
chusetts are known and honored
wherever men love justice. Let their
glory suffer no diminution at our

Search for LoSt" Indian Mine

New York-Like a page out OF
9 thrilling romance of the West
Is the incorporation of a company
that has for its aim the discovery
Of a fabulously rich gold mine, To-
Gated in the vicinity of Tucson,
Arizona, the existence of which is
a legend handed down from gen.
Grafton to generation by the mem
0ers of the tribe of Papago In
dians, whose ancestors inhabited
that land from prehistoric times.
The mine has for tangible proof
of existence, gold relics and gold
decorations in the Mission of San
Xavier del Bac.
Running true to the type Of the
movie romance is the further fact
that, although the incorporation of
the company has been made at AL
bany, N. Y, by hardheaded New
York business men, the seekers for
the lost mine will be headed by a
full-blooded Papago Indian.
According to Harry G. Kosch, at
tOrney, at 1540 Broadway, New
York City, the reading Of "The
Mine With the Iron Door" Harold
Bell Wright's latest novel, is
largely responsible for the organ
ization Of the "Canada del Oro
Mining and Development Corpora
tion," as the gold seeking company
is named. Novelist Wright's latest
book deals with the romance of a
"lost" mine, which had been known
and worked by the Indians before
the advent of the Spanish into that
section Of America, which is now
the State Of Arizona. There was
90 much realism and historical
verify to the tale that one of the
sncorporators, reading it, investi-
gated the foundation Of the story
and found that at the Mission Of
San Xavier there is still in evil

KANSAS WHEAT CROP
SAVES THE FARMERS
Heavy Yield And PrOspests Of
Good Prices Bring Prosperity
To Fourteen Countries.

Wheat has temporarily replaced
oil as the source of wealth in Kan
saS.
Poor tenant farmers, who have
struggled for years, many of them in
the Southwestern part of the State
who were compelled to appeal tC
the public for seed wheat loans last
Fall to seed this years crop, today
find themselves wealthy. Many
others who had purchased farms
with small payments and who ex-
pected to have mortgages pending
for years are in a position to pay off
those mortgages, buy more land,
build nNW houses and barns, or pur-
chase motor cars and other things
they have denied themselves for
years.
The present unprecedented wheat
crop in Kansas has done this, and
with rising prices greater wealth is
expected.
Hundreds of farmers, anticipating
price rises due to poor crops in Can
ada and Russia, are not marketing
it at once.
This condition is similar through
out the entire wheat belt, comprising
the Western two-thirds of the State.
But the contrast with last years
conditions is especially pronounced
in the Southwestern section, where
busted" farmers of fourteen coun-
ties last year appealed to grain deal
ers, chambers of commerce and
other organizations throughout the |
country for assistance in buying the
seed necessary to make another |
crop.
These fourteen counties would |
have raised millions of bushels of |
wheat this year even though there
had been no help, for there were
many farmers who were able to
withstand the poor crops of several
past seasons. Thousands of acres
more were planted, however, through
the money contributed by members
of the Chicago, Kansas City and
Wichita Boards of Trade, Chambers
Of Commerce and other organiza-
tions. ''- -'-----'---
Paying Cash for New Machinery
Those farmers benefited by l2ls |
especially are outstand-
Inc examples Of the power Of wheat
To- create sudden prosperity. Last |
year, unable to buy few bushels OF
wheat to seed their crops, this year
they are shipping in thousands OF
dollars worth of new implements
building material and automobiles
one County alone received a ship
ment of 1875 "combines"-the ma
chine that cuts and threses the wheat
at one operation-and nearly every
Dne of the combines was paid for
with cash. -.
"The seed pool fellows" ," who join
ed the farmers in gambling on the
weather, will get good return on
heir investment, as they had agreed
% finance the crop for small snare
Of it. If the fourteen counties mao
had a poor yield these men Would
nave received little or nothing in re-
urn for their donation to seed FUNDS.

which frequently averages five bush

A storekeeper ordered a sign

in their proper order, but did not

the spacing, with the result that
the sign appeared as shown above.
/ Can You read the sign correctly?
Yesterdays answer:
2S5714-571423
When the first two figures (28) of
2S5714 are moved to the right Of the
number, 57142S is formed, which is
twice as large as 2S5714.
The answer may be reasoned as
follows: the last two figures of the
original number must be IA, which
is half Of %, the final figures of the
larger number. In the same way,
the first two figures of the larger
number must be Sc or 81, for they
are to be produced by doubling 2S.
When these facts are realized. the
solution becomes quite easy.
