ROOSEVELTS BIRTHDAY
(Chisago County Press)

On Tuesday, Jan. 30, people from
all parts of the United States will
gather together in many forms of cele-
bration to give tribute and honor TO
Americas greatest figure, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt. The purpose
of the celebration is purely charitable.
The proceeds are to go for an endow-
ment fund for the Georgia Warm
Springs Foundation created in 1926
by President Roosevelt for those poor
unfortunates stricken with infantile
paralysis. Because the President has
suffered through this terrible disease
himself he has his heart and soul
with the down trodden rank and file
of humanity. Tuesday, Jan. 80, should
be the day for every American to pay
tribute to not only the President of
the United States but one of the
greatest and most humanitarian lead
ers of which this fair land has ever
been blessed.

Browns boy had had scare OF some
kind. Blaeky's eyes are very keen
There is very little that they miss.
But look as he would, Blacky couldn't
see single thing which could possibly
have frightened Farmer Browns boy.
Blacky spread his wings and flew
over toward Farmer Browns boy. Al
though he wasn't afraid, or at any
rate wouldn't admit that he was, he
flew high. Blacky does not believe In
taking any unnecessary risks. Safety
first Is Blacky's motto.
AS he flew over Farmer Browns boy.
Blacky moved as slowly as he could,
and his sharp eyes searched all around
In the grass for something which
might have frightened Farmer Browns
boy. Not thing was to be seem. By
this time Farmer Browns boy was SIT

holding to one leg just above the knee,
and with the other he WAS rolling up
the leg OF his trousers More than
this. Blacky could not see, because you
know he could not stand still In the
air To this day he does not know
what happened.
What did happen was this: When
Nimble Heels the Jumping Mouse was
awakened from his pleasant dreams, II
was by the approach of Farmer
Browns boy. In his fright he Jumped
blindly, not looking to see where he was
going; and, without meaning to at all
he Jumped right up inside the trousers

The next weakest Republican on
this list Is probably Patterson, OF Mis-

seems to have restored the old DEM

having held out too long against the

q reaction against repeal may come
later, 1t will be too late to do any OF
these four much good.
