A Fine Banquet

The banquet given in the dining room
of Sacred Heart church on Thursday
evening last, in celebration of st. Pat

prepared for such, 1T was even a little
than the good people of this church ex-
pected.
Over two hundred and fifty persons
were present and all were we'll served
with delicious dinner.
After the banquet the toast master,
Senator FitZgibbons called to order
and the program as published in the
Expositor, was presented with the one
exception, that Father Kronamaker of
Croswell filled the place given TO j. G.
Lehr, in an address.
Other addresses were given by Rev.

ed and varied by readings and music.
In all points the celebration was
considered a most successful one.

Citizens Improvement Club

At the meeting of the Citizens I'm.
provement Club held in the Council
Chamber last Monday evening the
question of a two. day celebration for
second and third of July was brought
up and received but luke-warm sup
port from the very few members who
were present.
AS we have said in the past few
weeks we believe that the time is ripe
for celebration here, as we haven't
had one for number of years, and we
have heard a number of our good citi-
zens express themselves in favor of
observing the countTy's birthday.
When there is nothing going on at
home the young folks of town and
vicinity go TO some other place to spend
the zone day" of the year, and they
also spend a nice bunch of money.
Wouldn't it be much better to have
something going on to keep them at
home and have them spend their money
here? We believe it would.
The only other matter brought before
the meeting was the question regarding
the raising Of passenger rates on the
Pere Marquette, and resolution was
passed and adopted favoring 219c
rate. Copies of said resolution will be
mailed to Senator FitZgibbons and
Representative COwan.

the usual hayoc amongst the ladies of

both large and small, and as many
ways of trimming them as there are
heads.to be adorned.
Our milliners have spared no pains
or expense to place line of millinery
before their customers which is of the
very latest patterns, and their prices

Dear Sir
| am in receipt of your
communication of the 18th inst wherein
you request to be advised upon the fol
lowing statement of facts: You state
that a certain Mr.. Johnson's mother
was born in the United States and later
went to Canada and married citizen
of that country. Mr.. Johnson was born
in Canada; his father having died when
he was six years of age; he and his
mother returned to Michigan and he
has continued to reside here ever since.
He became of age some twenty years
ago You asked to be advised as to
whether or not he is a citizen Of the
United States.
he rule as laid down in the Ludlam
vs..Ludlam, 26 NY 356 is as follows:
1t seems that child born in one coun-
try of subjects of another owes double
allegiance and at his majority may
elect one and repudiate the other, but
until such election he secures the rights
of citizenship in both countries although
discharging duties of allegiance in but
one.
In the case of Roa VS.. Collector, 23
PHILIPPINE 3l5 the same question was
before the court and the rule laid down
as follows: During minority parents
may elect the nationality of their chill
dren. Upon reaching majority the chill
dren may elect for themselves and no
formal declaration Of election is neces-
sary"
In view of the rule as laid down in
the foregoing cases, if Mr.. johnson
upon attaining his majority considered
himself to be a citizen of the United
States. he is entitled TO the same rights
and privileges as natural born citizen.
Respectfully yours,
Grant Fellows,
Attorney General.
