WASHINGTON, March 5-Pres-

Calvin Coolidge often was called
the thirtieth President, but errone-

The miscalculation occurs in the
counting of Grover Cleveland, who
served two terms. 1859 and 1893
81, enjamin Harrison serving the
intervening term.
Cleveland often is counted twice
since his name necessarily appears
twice when the years are listed con-

IN TWO MONTHS
Greensburg Had Largest
Crowd for Purdue
Event.

BIZ Times Special
LAFAYETTE, Ind. March 5.-A
total of 21.737 men and women at
tended the ten farmers short courses
which were held over Indiana dur
ing the last two months by the agri-
cultural extension department of
Purdue university, according to a
report today by G.. M. FTier in
charge of the work. Places where
courses were held and attendance at
each follow: North Vernon, 1922;
Shoals, 1,176; Martinsville, 1886;
Danville, 1926; Rensselaer,, 1916;
Winamac, 1852; Greensburg, 4,062:
Vincennes, 1892; Dana, 1881, and
Wabash, 1924.
The high mark made by Green's
burg for attendance is a new record
for two-day course, and the largest
banquet was at Danville when 525
persons were seated at one time.
Frier reported that the courses
this year showed uniformly larger
attendance during the daytime
when instruction is given in agricul-
ture or home economics SUBJECTS.
Specialists from Purdue conducted
the classes and evening programs
usually were given over to entertain
ment features supplied by local
talent. He also declared that at
tendance of women at the sessions
increased this year and that in some
cases they outnumbered men.
The courses are proving almost as
popular with townsfolk as with farm
men and women, Frier said.
Although it will be next December
before any similar courses are given,
Frier already has applications from
forty towns and cities of the state.
Only ten of these can be given as
the staff is not large enough to meet
the demand.

Ralph Teetor Gives Site
for Scout Recreation

TTAGERSTOWN, Ind, March
II 5.-"He's our friend" say the
boys Of this thriving industrial

county. They refer to Ralph
Teetor, blind president of
the Perfect Circle Piston Ring
company. Teetor is a mechanical
genius despite the loss of his sight
since he was a boy.
But greater than his mechani-
cal ability is his love for the boys
Of his home town. He is their
friend, in deed and practice. For
years he has been interested in
their affairs. Less than a year
ago he became identified with the
Wayne County Boy Scout Coun-
Gil, which is only about eighteen
months old; now he is one of its
presidents.
In that time, it has organized
twenty-three troops with mem
bership of approximately 500. The
first troop in the county was
founded in Hagerstown, in fact,
it was in existence before the
council was organized.
Teetor became interested in
the affairs of the Hagerstown
troop and the movement generally
in the county. He thought of an
old pond on which his father had
cut ice when he was a young man,
but which had gradually filled in
intervening years. He believed
this would be an ideal place for
Boy Scout lake and recreation
place. He had to acquire an old
