COOLIDGE SAYS
PRESIDENCY IS
ADDING LABORS
Poet, Already Bigger Than
That of King Or Emperor,
Grows in Each Administra
tion.
New York, June 23.—The
job of a president of the Unit
ed States is bigger than that of
a king or emperor and is grow
ing with each administration,
according to Calvin Coolidge,
who ought to know.
"A power so vast in its im
plications has never been con
ferred upon any ruling sovere
ign." the former President
says in his latest literary work
in the July issue of The Amer
ican Magazine, "While it is ad
visable to get all the competent
udvice possible, final judg
ments are necessarily his own.
No one can share with him the
responsibility for them|. No
one can make his decisions for
him. He stands at the center
of things where no one else
can stand. If others make (
mistakes, they can be relieved {
and oftentimes a remedy can :
be provided. But he cannot re
tire. His decisions are final |
and usually irreparable. This |
constitutes the appalling bur
den of his office."
Mr. Coolidge points out that
new powers are falling upon
presidents with every change
of administration. Thomas
Jefferson, he said, faced one of
the first problems at the time
of the Louisiana Purchase when
•Jefferson hinjself doubted
whether or not the constitution
gave him the right to extend
the boundaries of the nation.
From that time the powers of
the chief executive, so briefly
sketched in the constitution
have developed steadily.
Social Requirements
In addition to his official dut
ies. Coolidge declares that so
cial requirements are almost
us important in conducting the
government and it is for this
reason that they are governed
by iron-clad rules which are
never allowed to vary. To dis
c harge all the affairs of his of
fice. Coolidge began work at S
o'clock in the morning and
finished his day at 10 o'clock
at night. \o small part of his
duties was the daily reception
of scores of visitors and shak
ing hands with then! "On one
occasion I shook hands with
with 1,000 in .'54 minute:;, which
is probably my record," he
adds.
Coolidge's mail often
amounted to 2,000 pieces daily
and while he wrote few letters,
the stack he signed was form
idable. He never refused a re
quest for an autograph, he de
clares.
In regard to the social side
of a president's life, the former
president points out the rea
sons why the rigid rules of pre
must be meticulously maintain
ed:
"It would make great c-on
fusion in all White House re
liitj T.S unless the rules of pre
eedence were observed," h
writes. "If this WIT • not done
the m, tst ambitious and intnwl
in r , r Won!il seize the i»!:-1c; >
honor or it would be bestow, T
by favor.
"In both cases all official
position would be ignored. In
its working out, therefore, the
adoption of rules which take
no account of persons but sim
ply apply to places is the only
method which is in harmony
with our spirit of equality. In
its application it gives us more
completely a government of
laws and not of men."
Coolidge rates the social
functions of the White Hous-?
as being almost as important
as sessions of congress or su
prerrv court terms. The year's
schedule is as fixed as are the
rules governing the precedence
of personages. The season
ojK'ns with an official dinner
for the cabinet, following which
are the diplomatic reception,
the diplomatic dinner, the
judicial reception, the supreme
Icourt dinner, the conjrression
lal reception, the speaker's din
ner, and at the end of the year,
the army and navy reception.
50 to 90 guests attend the din
ners and the invitation list for
receptions often reaches 3,500,
says Coolidge. In addition to,
the White House events, the
president and his wife go out J
to 12 official dinners, beginn- j
iiiK with the vice-president; j
then the 10 members of the]
cabinet, and the speaker of the
house or representatives. Oool
jidge declares that his only per
sonal social functions were his
; wheat-cake and maple syrup
; breakfasts, from which all dis
jcussion of political affairs was
.barred. No other outside invi
tations can be accepted.
"While the president has
I supervision over all these func
tions," the chief execu
tive concludes "the most effec
tive way to deal with them is
provide a capable mistress of
the White House. I have often
been complimented on the
choice which I made 25 vears
ago. These functions were so
much in the hands of Mrs.
iCoolidge that oftentin|-s I did
I not know what guests were to
he present until I met them in
the Blue Room! just before go
injr in to dinner."

Dairy Industry Grows
In Western Carolina
Raleigh, June 24.—When the
branch cheese manufacturing
'plant wax established at West
Jefferson in Ashe County thru
the efforts of local citizens
and field workers of the agri
cultural extension service at
State College, it was an admit
ted experiment. It was known
that the section was a Ri>od
dairy country potentially but
there was doubt as to the neces
sary amount of milk being pro
duced at that tintf.'.
On the first day of operation,
July *23. 1928. only 1.120
pounds of milk were delivered.
The factory people said they
must have at least 6,000 pounds
a day for the plant to be oper
ated. On June 10, 1929, not
'quite eleven months afterward,
the plant received 19,557
; pounds of milk and the next
I day, the deliveries went over
20,000 pounds. E. C. Turner,
county agent of Ashe, says the
deliveries will exceed 30,000
pounds a day before the end of
the summer. The farmers re
ceived $25,90 for milk sold the
first day and $410.69 for mill;
sold on June 10, 1929.
This shows briefly what has
|hap|)ened in that section. AU>ut
1500 patrons are selling milk to
'the factory. It pays 50 cents
! a pound for butterfat and the
! is sold on the butterfat
basis. Milk routes are radiat
ing l'rom West Jefferson in all
direction. The producers are
paid twice each month and they
i are buying pure bred dair> cat
tle, are planting more legumes
I and grass pastures, are r» mod
eling old beef cattle bains intr>
milking sheds and a general
jair of well-being pervades the
country side.
F. K. Farnham, dairy exten
sion specialist, who helped to
establish the factory, says
that in the production of the
20,000 pounds of milk deliver
ed in one day, not over s2">
worth of purchased feed was
used for the cows. This means

Success With French Dishes
Is Easy For Careful Cooks
By: CHARLES SCOTTO, Chef,
Ambewador Hotel, Perk Avenue, New York City.
/""•ONTKAKY to general belief,
French cooking demands neither
scarce ingredients, nor long bending
ever pots and pans. The majority
of French dishes are extremely sim-
J.le. The deiicacy of their flavor,
and the reputation for excellence
which they enjoy throughout ihe
v. orld, are solely the result of pains
taking attention to details and a
knowledge of the culinary art which,
in many eases, has been handed down
fur generations.

his commission.
11. Etrklel's Commission (vv. 8-8).

ple (vv. 3. 4).

practices.

was that K/.cklel was made "hard of

people who were "hard of face an#
forehead."

Two things were required ol him as
a watchman over the flock.
1. To bear the Word at God'a month

Word. This Is true today.
2. To sound the warning, (v. 17).
After he had heard God'a message

V. Eseklel's Courage (24:15-18).
He was lo he taught hy a sorrowful
experience. He wan to turn his face
from even natural desire. At the
