What President Coolidge Thinks
of Chambers of Commerce
The president of the United States,
Calvin Coolidge, in a recent letter to
the Secretary of the Jacksonville, Fla.
Chamber of Commerce, had this to
say about chambers of commerce:
“The work of organizing the indus-
trial and commercial agencies of every
community as carried on through
Chambers of Commerce and like in-
atrumentalities, is manifestly of the
greatest importance in the proper de-
velopment of each individual com-
munity. It has an extremely import-
ant piece, also, in connection with the
co-ordination of the interests and ac-
tivities of different communities and
sections of the country. A well con-
ducted and intelligently directed or-
ganisation of this kind is certain to
be of great value to every citizen."

Ill., in which Mr. Brown discussed the
importance of root crops in the feed-

opinion that farmers of the Southwest
would find certain root crops of great
value, and suggests that they should
