HOLIDAY BODY DOES
NOT SPONSOR PAPER

John H. Bosch, president of the Min
nesota Division of the National Farm
ers' Holiday Association issued the
following statement in regards to the
publication of newspaper by A. c.
Townley and A. w. Kicker, both of
the Twin Cities, purported to be prin
cipally in the interests of the Farm
ers' National Holiday movement. Mr..
Bosch says:
1T is necessary for us to state that
neither Mr.. Townley or Mr.. Kicker
have any connections with the Farm
er's Holiday Movement, nor is their
paper in any way endorsed by the
Holiday association directors.
I'VE are offering no comment or
criticism at this time of anything that
Mr.. Kicker and Mr.. Townley may or
may not have done, but we believe it
would be unwise for the Holiday as
ISOLATION, which is composed of all
groups and organizations, to endorse
anyone who had previously rep
resented single group or organiza-
ton.
Each member of the Holiday as
ISOLATION must use his own discre-
ton in his attitude towards Mr.. A. w.
Kicker, Mr.. A. C.. Townley, or their
paper.
I'VE have purposely refrained from
starting newspaper, first because we
are not financially able to support
one, and second because we did not
desire to commercialize our member
ship.
Most newspapers have given the
Holiday association a great deal of
publicity most of which has been ia
vorable, this applies particularly to
rural newspapers that are more ia
miliar with agricultural conditions
and we are duly grateful for this
service.
when and If the Holiday associa.
tion deems it expedient to publish 9
newspaper, we will consult those in.
dividuals and newspapers that have
offered us their cooperation anG
adopt or support that which best suits
our need"

HEROINE
minneapolis JournaD

High on the honor rCll of American
heroines, beside the names of Molly
Pritcher and Barbara Frfetchie, en-
blazon now the name of Lillian Cross.
When this little woman, forty-eight
years old and weighing scant hum
dred pounds, saw the man beside her
open fire on President-elect Roosevelt
at Miami Wednesday night, she did
not faint, she did not scream futilely,
she did not even lose her head.
Instead, she did the right thing at
the right time. She seized the would
be assassin's arm and spoiled his aim
She saved the President-elect from al
most certain injury and probable
death.
In quick thinking, in high courage
she proved herself superior to the men
who stood round about her. A fine
mind instantly told her what to do; a
fine bravery let her do it. There was
no thought of her own safety, nc
thought of anything except Mr.. Roose-
velt's grave peril.
Mrs. Cross deserves a Congressional
Medal of Honor. Yes, and a monu-
ment, and a permanent place in
American history. She saved the life
of President.
