ALL THAT He WOULD ADMIT
ly When His Visitor Presented
His "Credentials."

Representative Frank Green of Yer
mont, who makes the best after-dinner
speech of any man in congress, and
does not like to because it interferes
with his train of serious thought, has
brought new Vermont story to town.
It is based on the care with which his
fellow Vermonters take strangers into
their arms.
While ambling around the state
during the recent recess Green visited
a town where several Of his ancestors
were born. Finally he came up in
front Of village store and encoun-
tering one Of the oldest inhabitants
he tried to start q conversation.
Looks as though it might rain"
Green suggested.
The oldest Inhabitants response
was quick glance.
"Who are you, young man?" he
asked.
"Oh," Green responded, I'm young

the quarry out yonder. My grand.
father, too, was born in these parts"

One Of my uncles ran the livery

was the champion bread baker Of the
county for six consecutive years, and
don't know how many of my folks
took other high honors hereabouts'
The resident was impressed. Look

Jimmy Britt, the Immediately

PROTESTS AGAINST SUNDAY
OF FAIR GROWING IN VOLUME

Rev. w. B. Riley, of the First Bap-
fist church at Minneapolis last Sun
day morning discussed the proposed
Sunday opening of the State Fair. DR..
Riley recounted briefly the success
full fight to close the Worlds Fair at
Chicago on Sunday. Congress made
an appropriation Of $4,000, 100000 de:
pendent on closing the gates on Sun
day. The boycott in the early days
of the Fair decreased it's attendance
alarmingly. SHOULD the fair manage
ment," said the speaker, refuse to
listen to the protest of the Christian
people of Minnesota and trample up-
on the Sabbath Day, contrary both
to Divine law and the law of the
state, we should wash our hands of
the whole business
Protests against Sunday opening
are being received by Gov. J. A. A.
Burnquist, Attorney General C. L. Hill
ton, and Secretary T. H. Garfield, in
increasing volume. Among recent
protestants are: First Baptist Church,
Minneapolis; English Lutheran
church, Minneapolis; Faith English
Lutheran church, St. Paul; St. Marks
English Lutheran church, North St.
Paul; Mora Swedish Lutheran church;
Hinckley, English Lutheran Church
Hector Methodist Episcopal church;
Plalnvlew Methodist Episcopal
church; Westminster Presbyterian
church, Minneapolis; Caledonia Pres.
byterian church; Hokah Presbyterian
church; LaCrescent Presbyterian
church.; Winnebago Presbyterian
church; Warroad Presbyterian church
and the Bethlehem Presbyterian
church, Minneapolis.
The Hubbard County Sunday School
Convention unanimously adopted
strong protest. 1t says: 1--WE feel that
this is a most dangerous precedent
and direct violation of the spirit of
Sunday observance in Minnesota. If
our state institutions willingly violate
the moral and most sacred laws, how
can we expect the observance of other
laws"

any OF the departments of the state
should encourage the dissertation of

Rev. S. N. Kelly, Red Lake Falls
Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of
Adams of the Presbyterian church,
says: I'm this county of Red Lake
we had the hottest fight we have had
Tor some time over the question of
the county fair including Sunday
falr date. The'biggest argument that
we had to contend against was. Well
the State Fair has a Sunday program:
why can't we?' -.
One church at Albert Lea sent a
protest signed by forty-four of it's
members who are also citizens.
Among other citizens who have pro-
tested are: H. A. DeWall, cashier of
the Farmers and Merchants State

part of Christmas morning in the White
House garden anil later enjoyed the
biggest dinner he has eaten since taken

Margaret Wilson at the table. but was
served in his own room.

panied by Admiral Cary Grayson, the
Presidents physician, notored out to
the Country Club in Virginia. where
the President usually plays golf when
he is able. and distributed a number
of presents to children who live along
the route.
No holiday visitors are at the White
House this year. as the Presidents
physicians thought be should avoid all
excitement, which might interfere
with his recovery.
The President spent part of today
kilograms that came to him from all
parts of the United States and sew
eral foreign countries, expressing the
wish for his restoration to health
and Il very merry Christmas. Many
of the messages were from those who
said they were praying for his speedy
recovery. Francis Z. Caravan, assist
ant attorney general and alien prop
erty custodian, called at the White
House with his three little children
today, each of whom took the PreSi-
dent a large bouquet OF flowers. The
children were not able to see the
President, but sent their flowers to
him by Or. Grayson.
