He was born Inde pendence Day, 1872, in Plymouth, Vermont. He came of a fine old Massachusetts family, with all the best of the New England traditions. - His early life was spent in Vermont, but he turned back to the first home of the Coolidges, Massa chusetts, and he graduated from Amherst college, in 1895. He studied law; held many minor city offices; was elected to the Legislature several times. Was President of the Senate in the sessions of 1912 and 1913, also 1914 and 1915. "Do the day's work," and "Be brief" were bis by-words of those days. He served Massachusetts as Lieutenant Gover nor for three years. Elected Governor in 1918, and, running on the slogan, "Law and Order,? was reelected for 1920 by the largest majority ever given to a candidate for that Hecis 'quick in his thought' but clear; concise; to the point. He is loved for his simplicity and sincerity. He has been a worjeing part of the-administration. He has carefully studied the methods of administration, arid he has cooperated heartily in every way with President Harding, whose con fidence he has had ; and also he has presided over the Seriate and has had the full support of all the elements of that highest legislative body in the world. , , A.

Here Is an illustration of personal ' advertising that 3 Is hard to beat. THE LADY EDITOR It is stated that there is but one woman editor In France. They say that the women who do right don't' write. In this country skirt ed editors are fairly plentiful, but in France they are afraid of thenu Yet France is frequently mention ed as being highly civilized. THE SHELL GAME German theaters do not care . to accept' money" any more. In one of .the best playhouses two eggs are accepted as payment for a good seat. This idea, of collect ing the eggs at the door also gives the performers more- confidence. It is better than receiving them over the footlights. .KUSSIAX RELIEF " It is admitted that the Ameri can relief administration saved the lives of millions in central and eastern Europe that would other wise have perished from famine or disease. ' The organization is now withdrawing from Russia, where for more than two years, fffKFAmerlcan "workers, under CoL Haskell, have been carrying on a Hroflderfal mission. This adven ture in philanthropy : has cost America more than $62,000,000. including a government appropria tion' of some 120,000,000 for grain and seed. The Jews of Am erica contributed $5,000,000 and virtually all Christian denomina tions swelled 'the total, but the service and distribution were irre spective of race or creed. Over t8.00e.000 worth of - medicines and supplies were used in some 16.000 Russian and European hospitals Cor more than 1,000,000 patients. There were : 275,000 cases of typhus in Russia ' in March, 1922, but less than 6,000 in. March of this year. That is what medical attention and (sani tary efficiency did in a single sea son in a plague-infested country. One of the Americansdfed , from typhus and that was tWtmty loss oai of4mqre than, 200 volunteers. It was a BplendWly administered philanthropy " with world-wide re sults. euur--been able to t- of all but' the Red A GOD FUO.U TE MACUIM', While the bulk of Industry car ried on in the United States looms larger every year, restricted im migration keeps down the number of hands that ,-brtng the grist to the mill. Some economists eren figuro a labor shortage may even tually result. . They cannot sea ho v national trade, and coram ji 'e ta.i outstrip rue growth ot popu lation without having to slow down in time for lack of laborers. This argument used for induc- ia congress to raise the bars aad admit a larger stream of. immi grants is untenable. Indeed, U' is quite possible . that this, country fifty- yearn from now may be pro ducing tout times Us present out pat with half its present man power." America's future depends on the quality, not on the quanti ty of its citizens. Any day in and around Los An geles one may discover an answer to the groundless fear that , we shall .ever suffer from a scarcity of hands to carry on our. indus tries. Where land is to be grad ed enormous steam scoops with long .sharp teeth dig into a hill side and bite off whole truckloads of dirt and deposit it by the ton In" waiting vehicles, as easily as a man with a shovel used to throw a few pounds into a wheelbar row. . -s , ; V V. . ., Air-compressor drills tear ip concrete and asphalt, pavement at so many chunks per second and do more-work in five minutes than three men with a drill' and double jacks can ' accomplish in half an hour. , . . : . These are -but two small, illus trations of the point that Ameri ca can now afford to change its immigration policy to one of "for quality only." Trained intelli gence at the throttle replaces 100 sweating toilers of the dust. ; One mind economically is more valu able than fifty arms and legs. To day the god of progress is the god of the machine. So today a temporary shortage of labor in any trade merely whets the edge of invention. The an swer is not a fresh batch of aliens to be trained up to the American standard, but a new American machine. Once upon a time it took , ten men to make a pin. Moreover, the American people have benefited by every fresh in stallment of machinery to expe dite industry and economize hu man effort. To the business man it has lowered the. cost of produc tion.' To the workman it has brought higher wages. The mer chant has been able to " capture foreign markets : in competition with the more laboriously made and .therefore more expensive goods of other nations. The man with the hoe or ' the scythe cannot possibly compete with the gasoline" tractor and har vester. ;.! - f. ' i : ! ' - America itself Is the best an swer to tht more-machinery ques tion. We have more machinery installed per capita than any oth er nation on earth, j And the, Am er'can worker gets highest wages and suffers least from unemploy ment! At the other pole stands China, with its millions, of hand workers. j - ' - Yet sixty years ago, when labor first organized in England, it was in. the interest of hand labor and the first labor-union strike in England was against the installing of machinery in the Lancashire cotton mills. And . the trade-union bosses in those days solemnly assured the operatives that, the machines were a capitalist device to take the bread out of their mouths. And riots and sabotage marked the first ; beneficial . at tempt' of the manufacturers to raise the standard! of the British worker. s The above from; the Los An geles Times gives j the right idea; though there may-be some virtue in the movement for securing some of the strictly farm laborers desiring to come to the United States from northern Europe. This might aid materially in bringing the beet sugar produc tion up to the point of making, the United States self sufficient in this staple; including our terri torial possessions. .7 For 5000 years the world pulled its flax and hemp by hand.
