The Coolidge Week

> The air mail arrived. There were some letters for the President. One said that Mr. Hoover would like to resign as Secretary of Commerce, when and if Mr. Coolidge desired. The other letter said that Mr. Hoover would like to visit the President. The President immediately telegraphed a cordial invitation to Mr. & Mrs. Hoover.

> Governor Fred R. Zimmerman of Wisconsin, having fished with the President, revealed: "The President caught more fish than I did, but my catch weighed more than his." When fishing, the President wears a red & black mackinaw, upon which is a golden fishing badge and the following insignia required by law:

> Howard Johnson, U. S. N., chief petty officer on the yacht Mayflower, is this summer a member of the President's retinue at Cedar Island Lodge. His especial duty has been the operation of a motion picture camera. But last week, as he walked along Brule River with President Coolidge, a new duty came to him. The President pointed to a flotilla of canoes, said: "You are the only Navy man in my party. I'll make you admiral of the fleet." Soon Officer Johnson was seen scrubbing the President's favorite fishing canoe.

> John Taylor, blind preacher of the Congregational church at Brule urged his flock to keep faith in the Biblical story about Jonah and the Whale. Said he: "Jonah found his salvation down there in the submarine [belly of the whale] ... so many men doubt the prophecy of Jonah because they don't trust God." The presidential family listened attentively.
