Fifty-seven thousand acres of land
recently recovered by the state against
the Capitol Land Syndicate, situated
in Dallam and Hartley counties in the
northwestern portion of Texas, will be
placed on the market to the highest
bidder on September 1, next, accord-
ing to a list of this land just issued
by J. T. Robison, state land commis-

lic schools of the state, and is an ex-
cess over the 3,000,000 acres donated
by the state nearly forty years ago
to the syndicate in payment for the
construction of the state house.
This land has been surveyed into
farm tracts of 320 acres each and the
prices placed thereon by the state
range from $3.50 to $15 an acre and
will be sold to those persons offering
the most for each tract. The law
does not require one to live on the
land, but one person cannot buy in
excess of 5120 acres. AH bids must
be in the general land office not later
than 10 o'clock on the morning of
September 2. A separate application
must be made for each tract and none
o the land will be sold to corpora-

announced Fred M. Herndon of San
Antonio, secretary of the State Parks
Association. The board, which is
headed by C. D. Colp of San Antonio, ,
as chairman, is a creature of the as-
sociation.
Governor Neff is scheduled to ac-
company the board on its tour of in,
spection, provided he has returned
from the national Democratic conven-
tion by that time. In the event he is
not back, Mr. Herndon said, the
chances are the board would defer its
trip until a later date. It is essential
that the governor should accompany
the board, it was stated.

again last night as they went through
the streets of Washington, lined with
silent crowds to the train. For a-
while after the train left Washington,
they sat up, and shortly after pass-
ing through Baltimore, retired. In
the same car with them were Mr. and
Mrs. Frank W. Stearns of Boston,
friends of the family for many years,
and Major James F. Coupal, the pres-
ident’s physician. -
At the rear of the car occupied by
the family, the last on the train, was
the bier on which rested the casket
with the body of h boy. It was
guarded throughout the trip by three
marines of the squad of six from the
presidential yacht Mayflower, pals of
the youth on his trip aboard the ves-
sel. The gray casket was covered
completely by a spray of pink roses
and the lighted compartment was vis-
ible to those without.
Accompanying the president were
members of his official family, rep-
resentatives of the nation at the final
services, and intimate friends of the
boy and family, including many whhite
house attaches and the persons who
attended the youth.

NORTHAMPTON, Mss., July 10.--
The funeral train bearing the body
of Calvin Coolidge Jr., younger son of
President Coolidge, reached here at 7
o'clock, standard time, this morning
for the services In the Edwards
Congregational Church.
This city, nestling under the shadow
of Mount Tom, halted business and
traffic for its last tribute to the presi-
dent’s son.
President and Mrs. Coolidge and
their surviving son, John, left the
train shortly after arriving and went
to the Coolidge home. There they
were met by Colonel John C. Coolidge,
father of the president, and Mrs. An-
drew Goodhue, mother of Mrs. Cool-
idge.
Colonel Coolidge had come from his
home at Plymouth. Vermont, and both
he and Mrs. Goodhue will accompany
the presidential party to Plymouth
where Calvin will be buried later in
the day. It was also planned by the
president to have his father return
with the family to the white house.
The casket under a new cover of
fresh pink roses placed there this
morning, remained in the compartment
at the rear of the president’s coach,
the last on the special train until
shortly before time for the services,
when the funeral procession will ac-
company It from the station.
Church bells tolled as the funeral
party arhve.
Silent groups gathered along the
railroad tracks and stood uncovered
as the train came up the Connecticut
Valley into Massachussetts. Factories
stopped work and employes stood at
attention.
Northampton was unusually quiet.
The president had urged that the ser-
vices here be observed with simplicity
and the homefolk sought to comply.
Business was stopped by official
proclamation between 8:30 and 10:30
o'clock standard time, when the funeral
procession and the services were
under way. Main Street was devoid
of traffic. "
The clear notes of the Smith Col-
lege chimes were heard throughout the
city during the funeral services. "On-
ward Christian Soldiers" and "The Son
of God Goes Forth to War" were
among the hymns sweetly played on
the chimes.
William M. Butler, chairman of the
Republican national committee and
close friend of the president, met the
party here and President Marlon Leroy
Burton of the University of Michigan,
former president of Smith College,
who nominated Mr. Coolidge at the le-
cent Republican national convention,
was among those at the services.
