The performance on Saturday will be continuous with the regular bargain matinee prices prevailing until 3:30. “1S ZAT SO?"~—CAPITOL Tonight is the last showing of the comedy scream “Cradle Snatchers.” the photoplay that has caused plenty of laughter at the Capitol since opening last Sunday.

D., June 22 (P— The spirit of the west seems to have ! completely overtaken President Coolidge and before he returns to Washington he will have shared in | large measure the life of South Da-, kota. which, in many ways, is typi- cal of “the great bread basket of America.” Not only has he entered eagerly | into the activities of the new life surrounding him; he has taken a taste for its clothes as well and to the tin gallon hats, which he! wears frequently around the sum-, mer White House, there have been, breeches and some boots. In these he likes to go fishing or sit in the early evening before dinner on the | porch of the state game lodge. [ The president has before him on | his way back to Washington another trip to the heart of South Dakota, Southern Minnesota and a corner of | Wisconsin. On the way out he re-| marked upon the fine appearing crops and, by the time he returns these fields of rye, wheat, corn and flax should be well on their way to a golden harvest. | But while these will give him a' glimpse of the great farming re-| gions of the country, his trips to the-wool west. At Deadwood the old gold mining days of 1876 will be re-staged and {in Belle Fourche, the president and Mrs. Coolidge will witness one of the most extensive rodeos the west knows. The Deadwood trip will be made in early August and the jour- ney to the rodeo city comes on July 4, )r. Coolidge's 55th birthday. Meanwhile in_their mountain re treat Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge are finding complete rest and diversion. The days are of even temperature and the nights are cool enough so that plenty of blankets are laid on their sleeping porch. During the day time there is fishing for both_of them and now that Mrs. Coolfdge has been initiated to the rod and reel, there is a prospect of pleasant hours together at the side of a sing- ing creck—about the only place where photographers, newspaper writers and visitors dare not seek them out. i i a motion vietars macina wnicn| BORAH RETURNING HOME The claims committee of the com- mon council will meet tomorrow eve- ning at 8 o'clock.
