President Coolidge is the first man
in recent years to occuly the high
and dignified position Of President Of
the United States who was born and
raised on farm, and therefore
knows something OF the farmnr
problems at first h.; al. His birth
place WAS on the same farm where
his father his grandfather and his
great grandfather were born and il
was upon this same farm that night
asst August when word was brought
that our beloved chief, President
Harding, had passed away. and in the
little sitting room Of his fathers farm
house away along in the night Presi-
dent Coolidge took the oath Of Office
as President Of the Uni.cd States and
this oath was administered to him by
his father, Il country justice OF the
Ieace, and we in imagination can see
the picture now Of this aged father,
with a worn Bible in his hand his
gray hair, his spectacles, by the Hight
Of Kerosene lamp administering the
oath Of office TO his son, Calvin Cool
idge, who by that oath became the
President OF the worlds greatest re-
public.

Forefathers All Farmers.
President Coolidge was born on the
farm that has been titled by the Cool
Ilge family for generations. In his
youth he helped to till the same acres.
That fact is essential to any clear un-
derstandlng Of his career. For into
his character were bred the rugged
ness and stability, and something of
| the s!ences Of the Vermont hills. The
| Coo,idges were farmers in Massachu-
setts until the great-great-g grandfather
Of President Coolidge moved into the
!
christened Plymouth soon after, but
is known locally even now as "The
Notch" Here, through the genera
tions, the family TILED the soil, raised
| live stock, produced maple sirup and
sugar and played large part in the
making Of American history. Twelve
miles from the railroad the future
President was born on the anniversary
Of the nations birth-July 4, 1872.
People who knew him, who believed
in him, who recognized the real worth
of the young man who never talked
Of himself, really forced him into pub
lie life. They knew there was no Ques-
tion about his knowledge or his ca
pacity for work: and so his practice
grew and his neighbOrs began electing
| him to offices. Altogether he was a
candidate thirteen times previous TO
1920, and every time successfully. He
has never been defeated. He had one
simple rule-to do the days work, and
to let the credit take care of itself.
The famous Boston police situation
was, with him, merely part Of the
days work. When he speaks, common
men hear their deep, hidden asplra-
tions uttered and respond because he
Is one or them. No human being in
the nation leads more normal life.

TOTO AT CAPITOL.

To have made the whole world laugh is proud distinction in these days of strife and turmoil, to have added to the joy of most of human ity is a feat that falls to few. Toto, the worlds greatest clown. has played wherever people still have gaiety in their heart and merriment in their souls. Totos appearance at the Cap itol beginning Thursday for the last half of the week marks his first ap- pearance here in good many years; in fact. he appeared here the last time Barnum & Bailey's circus played.
 Toto has led in the silent drama always whether on the stage or screen. The big revues have claimed him and he has starred in the great shows of the Hippodrome in New York, as well as the Christmas shows in London and his achievement in the way of laugh making are epochal.
 There will be four other high class attractions on the same bill, one Of noteworthy interest being Harry Hines the celebrated Broadway come dian.
 'The photoplay attraction will offer Held to Answer" with big cast featuring House Peters.

June 4.-Heien Cole and night after midnight from the home of Mir. and Mrs. James R Crowell at Mountain Lakes and who have been hunted ever since by state troopers, Boy Scouts and special searching parties, were found yesterday after noon shortly before 6 o'clock by John Duffy, chief inspector Of the Newark water department,
 The mystery Of why they left was not cleared up. Neither assisted ma terially in explaining it. Miss Cole was said to be near a nervous collapse and Carter, except for one brief state mcnt, was not communicative. Re porters were allowed 10 see the couple for a moment, but got nothing of the story of their wanderings from them. The belief that the adventure is Q publicity scheme, the purpose Of which will appear later, still persists but nothing was adduced yesterday either 10 confirm or disprove that theory.
 Clad in evening clothes and cooking a mess of mountain weeds in a tOma- 10 can for thcir evening meal, the couple was surprised by the arrival Of Duffy. He knew who they were hy descriptions he had read in the ncus- papers and they admitted their identi- ty. They finally consented 10 ac- company the chief inspector back to civilization, and he took them twelve miles to the village Of Newfoundland, where they went to the Newfoundland Inn. Word was sent to James k, Crowell and he drove across tho mountains with several friends and took charge Of the situation
 When Miss Cole was brought into the inn, according to the proprietor, losph Nieth, she was completely eX- hausted. He said she was talking hys- terically about catching rabbits, a mo- tive that has persisted in inc case from tho beginning. the couple having been said to have disappeared after the girl had insisted. as proof of her heinz able io sustain her life in tho wilderness that she had caught rah- bits in her, bare hands in California and could do it sgain.
