dinner. A party of del«gat«is at
tended the affair nt the Palace
Hotel. To provide a grand climax
for the party the hosts had sent
a k>ng cable to Calvin Coolidge,
an Amherst graduate, ex]^ining
situation and askinjr him to send
a suitable message to be read at
the dinner.
They placed special emphasis on
the fact that the delegate had the
privilege of free transmission of
msssages—a hint to Calvin Cool
idge to expand his reply.
The dinner was replete with
long speeches. Then came the big
moment. One of the hosts arose
and read the message from
Coolidge.
It said: “Greetings.”

Dixon of the county agents
