Ties. Karly in life lie learned the dig nity and necessity of work. He was educated at Amherst co lege. He was an able and industrious student. It was during his college course that he began the study ol American politics. His conception of this intricate subject then formed and since maintained is that "there will come out of the government exactly what is put into it." He believes that "politics is the process of action in public affairs." 'At Amherst in his senior year he won the first prize, a gold medal, for the best essay on the principles of the war for American independence. This competition was open to the un dergraduates of all American col leges. Admitted to Bar After only twenty months" study of law in the offices of Hammond Field in Northampton he was ad mitted to the bar. He thereupon opened an office in Northampton and at once gained a rating as a zealous, broad-minded promoter of the com munity's welfare. Appointed by the supreme court to fill a vacancy caused by death, lie declined to accept his party's nomin ation for election to succeed himself and returned to the practice of law. Calvin Coolidge entered politics ac tively in his home town, Northamp ton, in 1S99 when he was elected to the city council. The next year he was made city solicitor and held that office for two years. He went to the Massachusetts state legislature in 1907 and 190S. He left the legislature to become mayor of Northampton, holding that office two years. He was then elected a state senator, where he served four years, during the last two years of which he Iwas president of that body. Governor in 1018 As governor, Calvin Coolidge has advanced rapidly in the estimation of the people of the state. He was elected in 1918 for the first term.' His re-election by an increased plur ality was practically conceded when the police of Boston left their posts. After a night, of rioting, the gov ernor took command of the situation, restored order with state guardsmen, destroyed evey effort of the police to win their places back, ended for all time the possibility of a police union with an outside authority and faced the electorate on the issue of law and order. He was re-elected by a plurality of 125,000. Every State Cm Coast Shingles. Portland, June 12. The District Forester here has just given out the results of a study which show that Western red cedar shingles from Ore gon and Washington are shipped to every state in the Union. The report shows that Minnesota is the largest single purchaser of Washington shingles, while California is the big gest buyer of Oregon shingles. The Middle Western states are very heavy buyers while about eight per cent of the total sales go to the Southern states. Oregon and Washington produced 6 1-2 billion shingles in 1919, or two billion more than in 1918. The cut for 1919 iwas less than that for 1916 or 1917, and far below that for 1909. Western red cedar is the leading shingle wood in the United States, shingle manufactured from this wood In Oregon, Washington and British Columbia represented 85 per cent of the total production of the country. Shingles are also made from cypress, white cedar, redwood and yellow pine. Douglas fir shingles were manufactured commercially in 1919, largely because of the scarcity and high cost of western red cedar logs. Shingle production In 1919, like that of 1918, was not normal. The first quarter, following closely after the Armistice, was quiet. Toward the close of the second quarter the de mand for Bhlngles became strong. This, however, was colFely followed by a car shortage that was felt dur ing the remainder of the year. Meantime, the price of shingles advanced, more than doubling by the end of the year. The cost of shingle logs, labor and supplies advanced al so; this taken in connection with the other adverse conditions being unfav orable for normal production, forest officers say. The effect of the deple tion of the supply of westen red cedar is noticeable, Washington produced 8 billion shingles In 1909 as against 6 billion in 1919. This decline is apparently due, the report shows, to that fact that the supply of cedar at the higher elevations Is not so large as along the river bottoms and low lands. The report Is authority for the statement that in British Colum bia, where fewer shingles have been cut, production has Increased 300 per cent In the last 10 years. Produc tion in Oregon amounting to about 1-3 of a billion per year, has not changed materially for Beveral years. l,crn MAesoll. !;o drive? the l.i M ik truck for the Standard Oil com pany is new enjoying his two week .u;tion.
