IN THE NATIONS CAPITAL
(By Stephen James,

For all his position and seeming
advantages, few young men in the
United States have greater diff
culties in courtship and social af-
fairs than does John Coolidge, son
of the President.
Young Coolidge is willing
enough. and personable enough.
But the exalted position of his
father, in which he stands reflect
ed. and the constant beat of the
white light Of public attention,
make his amorous ventures diff
cult indeed.
At that few young men are in
position to entertain young ladies'
at the White House. One of the
young women with whom John
Coolidge's name is most often
is Florence Trumbull,
daughter Of Governor John H.
of Connecticut. She at
tends Mount Holyoke College, not
too far from Amherst, where the
Coolidge heir is matriculated.
During the holidays the Mount
Holyoke Choral Society sang in
Washington. John and his mother

were interested spectators in the
audience. Now it develops that
Miss Trumbull was a White House
guest for dinner after the perfor.
nance, and all the Capital is won,
dering if that was an opportunity
for a prospective daughter-in-law
to meet her prospective father-in-
law and prospective mother-in-law
Rumors of their engagement have
often been denied because the
principals are 'too young"
Young Coolidge, home for the
Christmas holidays, was allowed
greater latitude in his social en-.
gagements this year than last.
And it is very likely that he was
more careful in his attendance at
these small functions than he was
on at least n occasion last year.
Then he presented himself at a
party given by one of the exclusive
h~ostesses of the city. But he had
forgotten his invitation card.
A supercilious and hard-faced
butler barred the entrance. The
butler was listening with more
than passing suspicion to Johns
protestations that he was the son
of the President. and. from all
appearances, was about to engage
in an effete and heightened, but
effective 'bum's rush" when the
hostess, passing. inquired the dis
turbance. The proper explanations
and apologies were made, and ac-
cepted, but doubtless John did not
neglect this year to carry with
him his invitations.
When the Coolidge son returns
to Amherst in January he will have
as his companion a younger mem
Der of the Secret Service. Colo
mel Edward Startling has asked to
be relieved of that assignment.
There was no competition for the
job. but the task has been given
to Russell Wood. a much younger
member of the White House Sc
cret Service staff. The difference
in their ages will not be 50
marked. and perhaps the close
contact will not be quite so en-
barrassing to either. Wood looks
little older than his new charge,
and is thinking seriously of taking
up a few studies at Amherst him

1927 o BRIGHT

Montana has abundant reason to
enter upon the new year with con
fdence and optimism. Montana,
most certainly eastern Montana, is
gaining ground and finding herself
learning to make its resources
produce and yield a profit. The
sharp lessons Taught by adversely
are bearing fruit in the form of
better industrial and business
methods. hedged about with eau
ton and economy. Our great need
is more people to develop Il re-
sources and nothing will bring
them so surely as the prosperity
of those already here.
For genuine, ground-floor agri
cultural opportunities Montana
stands at the top of the list. Home
needers with brain and muscle to
invest will soon realize it.

concern has been exposed as q
huge fraud and the operators are

of the country have been quick to
spread the news of the fraudulent
outfit which operated in other
southern towns also.
Wednesday a letter was received
from M. L. Walter of Orlando,
Fla, and formerly of Wolf Point.
He saw the ad in The Herald and
fastened to advise that it was
a skin game and sent a clipping
from a Florida publication which
is reprinted below. Mr.. Walter
says oranges are $4 a box whole
