MARION, August 11-George B.
Christian. secretary to Warren G.

president, announced yesterday that he

tive secretary to President Coolidge
Mr. Christian made his announcement

been called away" the announcement
said. For nearly nine years 1 worked
beside him, and my present sorrow is
somewhat assuaged by the feeling of
satisfaction at having been permitted

humane and considerate chief and the
finest friend it has ever been given a
man to have l left at Washington

President Coolidge, with a tender of

him and any assistance l can give his

Relied on George"
Mr.. Christian added Informally that
he had no desire to continue in public
office and would not look with favor
on any federal appointment. The
former secretary left here for Wash
inston with Mrs. Harding. to assist
her in removing personal belongings
from the White House and to clear up
the desk of the late President. He may
continue to live in Washington for a
few months. but expects 10 go into
private business soon.
The relations between the late Presi-
dent and his secretary amounted to
what is generally regarded as ideal. The
President relied greatly on George"
as he ever called him. When Mr.. Hard
ing was selecting his staff of advisers
and assistants prior to taking up the
presidency there were some republican
leaders who urged others for the secre-
taryship, but Mr.. Harding soon gave
these leaders to understand that mas
much as Mr.. Christian had been loval
to him when political fortunes were

that no President was greater in hu

General James NJ. Beck said the
words of Harding's favorite hymn.

epttaph, since he was indeed kindly

TO COOPERATE

CONCORD, N. H., Feb. 26.-The
sportsman sometimes has hard words
for the farmer who posts mo tres

good hunting. The farmer feels a
righteous Indignation against the
fisherman or hunter who carelessly
or maliciously breaks down his fenc-
es and stone walls. and leaves gates
open and bars down so that the cat
tie get out of the pasture. To rem
edy this situation the New Hamp-
shire Fish and Game League has
been organized to promote better
sport and better relations between
farmer and sportsman in this state.
The object Of the league Is de-
clared to be Ito encourage. assist
and advise the state authorities in
propagation and protection. to OBJ
tain the proper spiri. Of cooperation
between the landowner and the real
sportsman, and to lessen and do
