The smaller town editors today as.
sembled at the State Game Lodge,
thirty-two miles from here, to pay
their respects to the man who has
come West to give them more
columns of sustained news than
they have had in some time.
President Coolidge, unable TO ad-
dress the annual convention of the
National Editorial Association at
Omaha, had compromised with an
invitation to the members to visit
him at his summer camp and they
came in a special train, several
hundred strong.
Representing towns of less than
60,000--in mass the great bulk Of
the nation--the publishers were
entertained at the Game Lodge
today.
They welcomed Mr.. Coolidge to
the West, and he. in turn, assured
them of his complete satisfaction
with his surroundings.
Prior to the reception at the
lodge, the editors were treated to a
buffalo barbecue in the dining hall

House.

ming there was a great hustle at
Galena in connection with the
preparation of this rather uncom-
mon delicacy.
