IDGE, two collies, five canaries
and all the necessary household at
tendants are now established for the
summer in the South Dakota State
Game Lodge, in the Black Hills. And
the executive offices of the national
government are established in the
new high school building at Rapid City,
80 miles away. Even though Mr.. Cool
idge should not regain the favor of the
farmers-and he is not unlikely to-
he will certainly have a delightful and
restful vacation in surroundings that
are entirely to his taste. The lodge
is on the shores of lake surrounded
by picturesque mountains, and is so
secluded that comparative. privacy is
assured. The Chief Executive planned
to make the automobile trip to. Rapid
City frequently to attend to the more
pressing business-of his Office
On his way west the President
stopped few hours: in the Calumet
region of northwestern Indiana to help
in the dedication of:aWicker park, the
war memorial OF lake county. In his
address he spoke of the prosperity
and growth of the country in mate
rial way, but he mildly chided the ma
ton for delinQuencies.
"In spite of all this progress" he
said, I'VE are still a great distance
from what we would like to be. Our
delinquencies are sufficient to require
us to put forth all our efforts to work
toward their elimination. Although our
government is sound and ocr courts
are excellent, too many of us disregard
the obligations of citizenship by neg
lecting to vote, and violence and crime
are altogether too prevalent. The num-
her who are lacking in religious devo-
ton is altogether too large.
while we have reached the high
est point in material prosperity ever
achieved, there is considerable class
of unskilled workers who have not
come into full participation CT the
wealth of the nation"

South Dakota as whole welcomed
the President warmly as the special
train made its way across the broad
prairies, hesitating at the farm cen
ters long enough to give the inhab-
itants a glimpse of the Chief Execu-
tive and his charming wife. The Off
cial welcome was staged at Pierre, the
capital, where the President and Mrs
Coolidge were prevailed upon to
change their. program slightly, leav-
ing the train and taking their place
at the head of a parade which went
through cheering crowds in the bust
ness section. Governor Bulow, Sen
ator Norbeck, Representative Chris
topherson, committeeman, legislators,
newspaper editors, farmers, and bust
ness men from all the central section
were on hand to greet the President
and escort him from town to town.
NEW YORK went completely daffy
IN over Col. Charles Lindbergh when

city gave him a reception never be-
fore equalled. AS the young master
of the air said, it was 'the reception
of Paris, Brussels, London and WASH
ington rolled into one" Millions of the
inhabitants of the metropolis stood in
a line stretching from the Battery to
Central park as the pretentious parade
passed, madly cheering the hero and
struggling for opportunity to sec him.
