W. BARRY UVALDE, Tex, July 31.—“Come on, let’s go look at my settin’ hen,” said Vice President John W. Gar- ner. He pulled himself out of a rest- ful chair, parked in the sun-room of his comfortable home, buttoned the neckband of his collarless shirt, fastened his belt and saun- tered leisurely toward the barn on his 15-acre place. » Garner is taking a real ‘lazy man’s rest” from arduous duties as President of the Senate and copfidant of the President. . - “Why should anyone want to go to Siberiajor some place for a va- cation when he can stay at home and be himself?” he asked as he made his way to the hen house. A white chicken was sprawled over a dozen eggs—his “settin’ hen.” Has Many Visitors “A President can't turn the cor- ner these days without being fol- lowed and guarded like a prisoner,” @ he commented. “Why, it's like be- ing in jail “Every time he steps out there is a‘sheriff’ in the lead, a ‘sher- iff in" the rear and a ‘sheriff’ on either side. “I am happy here at home.” Garner appeared really happier than the night, nearly two years agc, when he was elected Vice- President. Certainly he looked healthier, as he sicpped with a ® spring. The Vice-President is ed frequently even in his off- the boaten path home, but he takes it all good naturedly. “You know Mrs. Garner (who acts as his secretary) is the best person in the world,” he said. “She will let all of them ccme to sec me. I like to have them come. “For instance, there was a fa- *mous evangelist here from Ten- nessee. He came out. He said it was the first Vice-President of disturb- seen.” “Aloof” From Pelitics The Vice-President simply is lounging around. He takes an goes fishing now and then. He overnight trip to a cow camp or sits in the yard of his home, in 'the shade of his pecan grove, and smokes Mexican cigarettes rolled with real corn shucks, but resorts occasionally to his well-known ci- Since his return to Texas he has been smoking cigars sent to him| by candidates. He had a box handy, with each smoke wrapped in paper bearing the name of Tom Connally, junior United States Senator, running for renomination. fHGarner would not say he was for Connally, however. “Not taking any interest in Texas politics,” he said sharply. ““You know,” Garner remarked, “we get gifts from everywhere. Just today there came by express another dog. 1 don't know what kind; all' I know is his pedigree is as long as from here to. the moon.” Garner told his granddaughter, ¥Genevieve, only child of his only son, Tulley, that youll have to pay board on that dog.” It developed that the animal was a wire-haired terrier. Genevieve read the registration papers care- Mully -and came clamoring to her grangdfather. . Adam’s Swim Amuses- “Granddad,” she exclaimed, “I | can understand what registration | | is, but can you please tell me what | ‘kertification’ means?” Garner takes his “siesta” regu- larly after lunch. On this partic- ular day he had been reading historical documents and a Bio- graphy of Martin Van Buren. He said he had been thinking about the “evolution, or progress” | of government since our grandfa- | | thers. | “Did you know,” he asked,| “that John Quincy Adams got up every day about 5 o'clock, and took | | plunge in the Potomac2 Gan| you imagine what the reaction | would be if an occupant of the | White House in this day and time would slip out before daybreak | and take a swim like that?” | Garner chuckled at the idea. | “Going to Washington in Sep- tember to help with the Congres- sional elections?” he was asked. “Haven't heard about it, except what I read in the newspapers— that the President wanted me to,” he replied. With a sigh, he added. “Of course whatver the chief wants me to do I'll try to do, but I sure love this place.” Likes to Mix Dough Garner has a fine grape arbor {as well as a pecan orchard and a garden that produces virtully all kinds of vegetables. He has been putting in much time picking grapes and preparing them for Jjelly. They make good wine, too, he explained. The Vice-President likes to go to ‘the cow camps in this cattle country and eat with the cowboys at the chow wagons. He specially likes to mix dough for bread. One day recently, he said, he went to the kitchen of his home and tried to show them how to make bread and ‘“stew,” \but the “chief,” refetring to Mrs | Garner, “ran him out.” ——,,— the United States he ever had:sMALL FAms FARING BEST WASHINGTUN, July 31.—In the rise and fall. of farm real estate values from 1910 to 1930 the small farm fared much better than did ithe large farm, according to census reports.
