Faced with the prospect of closed

August 81. President Coolidge has
asked for a Minnesota fishing license
to assure continuation of his favcrfte
sport.
After two and half months of
daily fishing, virtually from his front
doorstep, the Chief Executive after
September will have to fish either
on the private lakes of the Henry
Clay Pierce estate. where the trout
are so numerous as to provide little
sport. or must turn to bass, pike,
pickerel and other fish in more dis
tant lakes.
He already has Wisconsin license
and therefore is entitled to fish in
lakes in this State. Mr.. Coolidge
felt, however, that he might wish to
try the Minnesota waters for
change and applied for license in
