Briefly sketching his life his
tory, Senator Patterson said Pres
ident i Coolidge was born July 4.
1872,; spending his early years on
a farm and obtained his early edu
cation'at a one-room schoolhouse.
After attending two academies he
was graduated from Amherst, re
turning to the farm for a few
months. He later went to North
Hampton, Mass.. where he studied
law and was admitted to the hnr
'20 months later.
Career Is Progressive
Public offices held hv President
Coolidge began with his election
to tne city council in North Hamp
ton, later acting as city attorney
for two years. He was appointed
county clerk but refused renom
inatioh. After representing his
county in the state legislature he
was elected mayor of North Hamp
ton, state senator, president of the
senate, lieutenant governor, and
then governor, all in rapid succes
sion. He was later re-elected in
the latter office. Since that tim
his public career Is well known.
Several portions of his addresses
were qnoted to Illustrate his clear
style of speaking and writing.
Prior to his stand at the time of
the , Boston policemen's strike
Coolidge was little known outside
Massachusetts, Senator Patterson
said, but at that time he leaped
into the national limelight.
One Ballot Predicted
"Coolidge will be elected on the
first ballot of the national con
vention of the Republican party,"
Senator Patterson said In closing.
"The Republican party cannot
turn down the administration pol
icies outlined by former President
Harding and President Coolidge
by nominating a new candidate."
That Coolidge would carry Ore
gon 1 was predicted, based upon
difference In conditions today.
"Four years ago there was an
active candidate against the presi
dential candidate. There will be
no more than ..three this year, in
comparison with the' four candi
dates at that time, with the prob
ability that there will be but two.
These will take votes from each
other and not from Coolidge. The
prestige of being in office is also
taken Into consideration. Press
notices in both Republican and
Democratic .papers are compli
mentary to President Coolidge.
Strong Speaks
Robert H. Strong, state chair
man of the committee for relief
for German children, was intro
duced and spoke briefly. f He out
lined present conditions in Ger
many and the amount of suffering
among 1 the children. John L.
Brady, editor of The Statesman;
presided as chairman of the day.

TO GET BUSINESS
First National Bank Pursues
a Broad Policy of Com
munity Building
Bank advertising has made some
rapid advances in the past few
years. Never before have finan
cial institutions so fully recognized
tneir responsibility to the com
munity as they do today. News
paper space is being used by banks
to acquaint the public with many
phases of financial problems.
In line with this trend of
thought, the First National' bank
of iSalera is adopting a policy for
1924 through its newspaper ad
vertising of calling to the attention
of local people the advantages to
be gained by developing Salem and
the Willamette valley first, as a
condition precedent to substantial
and permanent Increase in the
business of every local institution
in this city.
The efforts of the First Nation
al along this line are well worthy
of comment and deserves the co
operation of the community. The
bank officials know that the
growth of Salem and its financial
institutions depends upon the!
growth of surrounding territory
and the building up of payrolls j
within our own community. They
believe that the surest way to get
business for themselves is to help
the other fellow get business first;
after that they feel they will re
ceive their portion of the prosper
ity that would result in Salem and
surrounding territory.
This is a broad minded pro
gram, and it is to be honed that
other firms and civic organizations
will follow suit along the same
line.

Belfast reports that the price

The last sales' of long spinning
fiber from the Oregon state flax

"The Broken Violin." which

be one of the most unusual pic

around a beautiful story, with
plenty of heart interest, in add!
tion to furnishing one of the great

What is said to be the fastest
moving and most intense story of
life as It is lived on New Vork's
great white way, is promised to
the patrons of the Liberty theater

A notable array of players make
up the cast, the featured roles be
ing entrusted to such canable art
ists as Lowell Sherman, Doris Ken

are supported by Edmund Bresse,
Tyrone Power, Effie Shannon and
Charles Murray. Glimpses are al
