PLAN TO LEAVE TODAY
Executive Train Will Drop Mrs. Coolidge At Northampton Again Where She Will Visit Her Mother For Several Days.

Plymouth, Vt, Sept. 21 R9-Back for few hours among his own peo- pie in his native village, President Coolidge forsook the duties of his of- flee this morning to revert tempor- arily to simple Vermont landlord.
 Visit Cemetery
 He and Mrs. Coolidge, however. did not forget among their visists to the farm and the calls of neighbors to % on . short pilgrimage to the little cemetery on the hillside where the graves of the presidents father and of young Calvin, his son who died four years ago, are side by side among the older tombs of the family.
 Up early after their first night in the family homestead for over two years, MT. and Mrs. Coolidge went into the open immediately. Mrs. Coolidge struck up Messer Hill, her favorite walk. to See the autumn tints in the woods. The chief exec utive inspected the nearby cheese factory of which he is part owner and looked over his farm. He was pleased to find both fiourishing. The cheese factory. he was told, did about $500 business a day. At the farm the new sugar house and the new silo were notable additions, while the 200 gallons of maple syrup in store and the plentiful or chard products spoke well for its prosperity.
 Decorate Graves
 Meeting again at their home, MT. and Mrs. Coolidge gathered the flowers they had brought with them yesterday and went to the cemetery. With the chief executive helping her in taking the flowers out of their boxes and cutting the strings by which they were tied in bundles, Mrs Coolidge decorated the graves of her son and father-in-law. Roses and gladioli were strewn in profu- sion over the tombstones by Mrs. Coolidge. while the president stood by in silence.
 Relatives and friends in the vil- lase called on MT. and Mrs. Coolidge at their home after the chief execu- tivS had taken Mrs. Coolidge for . view of the farm. Gal ain't changed a bit" was t', verdict of aged John Wilder. MT. Coolidge's uncle Ly mar riage.
 When the Coolidges reached here last evening 1t was too late to meet friends although the whole hamlet was standing at the cross roads to greet them. Supper had been pre- pared by the housekeeper. with chicken supplied by Mrs. John Wilder, Mir. CoolidEe's aunt. who lives next door. The President and Mrs. Coolidge soon retired for the night with the intention of rising early to inspect as much as possible of the farm and countryside. The president said he wanted to discover it the crops had turned out favor- ably.
 Father Remembered
 This mornings ceremony at the cemetery followed a similar one at Burlington where Mr and Mrs. Coolidge interrupted for an hour their trip through Vermont to dec- crate the tomb of Captain Andrew l I. Goodhue, Mrs. Coolidge's father. Otherwise the journey across the state which began yesterday morn- ing after an overnight ride from Washington. was devoted entirely to viewing from the train the damage caused by the November flood and to observing subsequent reconstruc- ton progress. At the numerous stops Mir. Coolidge was greeted by enthusiastic demonstrations. Al Burlington and Rutland especially the crowds were large. Everywhere the President and Mrs. Coolidge ap- peared on the observation car and answered the greetings with smiles
 This afternoon the president will continue his inspection of the state on his way south. Once out of the state the train will stop at North ampton, Mass. to drop Mrs. Coolidge fer a few days visit by the bedside of her mother who is seriously III at a hosptal there. while the chiei executive will return to the capital
