Nothing has since happened to change the situation which the enactments of the 67th congress were designed to meet.

Chamber of Commerce, thru a del vig business men, has promptly laid down | dent Coolidge a chart by which he can steer the grand old ship of state. President Coolidge must avoid government ownership of public utilities. Private concerns gation of should run the government-owned ships. i There must be a decided reform in taxation. Repeal of @xcise taxes and reduction of income surtax under which § the rich are groaning, are especially desired. ‘ No soldiers’ bonus. Looser immigration restrictions, so that the cost of labor can be fought down. Sounds almost like the makings of a national party plat- s form, doesn’t it? Mr. Coolidge may not be an expert E politician, but he won't suffer from lack of kind assist- - ance. Stay sober. Booze is dangerous. Toronto man got drunk and told about stealing $20,000.

The United States geodetic survey figured the thing all out and placed the lump of manufactured stone at the exact spot from which geographers, map-makers and fancy mathematicians may run their so-called tri- ) angulations, whatever those critters are. Underneath the block, sunk 34 inches into good corn soil, is a metal tablet on which are engraved all of the interesting facts and computations. The geographical position of this favored three-foot square of the late Mr. Meade’s farm, is latitude north 89 degrees 13 minutes 26.686 seconds, and longitude west 98 degrees 32 minutes 30.506 seconds. i Hen's ¢gg was found in a Lake Pocotapaug bass.
