YULET|DE CARD
OF PRESIDENT
IS MAILED

On trains, airplanes and ocean
liners scores of tinted paSteboards
highly coveted by recipients
moved last night toward the
homes Of rich and poor through
out the world.
The cards bore annual Christ
mas greetings from President and
Mrs. Roosevelt to friends and Of
ficials at home and abroad. The
design, as in years past, was kept
secret. It was chosen personally
by Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt. Their
first Christmas card after Mr..
RooSevelt's election in 1882 pic
tured a side view of the south
portico of the White House. The
second card showed the Presi-
dental couple seated before the
fireplace in the oval room and
the third pictured them seated on
the porch of their summer home.

SMELL PLEDGES
LIBERAL c. 0. P.
Declares House Republicans
y Will Consider LegisIa-
tion on Merits.
~ the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated Press.
House Republicans were pledged to-
day by their leader, Representative
Smell of New York. to work in con-
formity with present-day thought and
progress" and not to oppose legisla-
ton merely because ''it comes from a
Democratic administration"
The handful of Republicans, Smell
said yesterday, will consider legisla-
ton on its merits and support bills
that are fair, equitable and in the
interest of the people"
Their attitude toward specific bills,
however, will not be determined until
they examined administration pro-
posals, the leader said.
Blowing out cloud of cigar smoke
rs he talked with reporters, Smell
asserted also that the Nation might
be assured there will be no sur
render of minority rights, no abdica-
tion of minority responsibilities" Re-
publicans will insist on free debate,
he said.
Republican Congressman, he re-
marked, represent the votes of 49,
100000 people and that is pretty
firm foundation to build on"
mo, sir" he exploded in reply to
q question whether the Republican
party was dead
Smell expects to hold caucus OF
Republican Representatives January
4 and foresees no opposition to his
reelection as leader.
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York said recently he would seek
to install new leader unless Smell
agreed to liberalization" of the party
command in the House.
But Smell asserted that in a re-
cent conference with Fish, Ham and

COMMUNITY HALL

For number of years the White Bluffs COM
munity~ considered ways and means of raising
sufficient funds to build a community hall. Such
structure was sorely needed, but the cost would
approach $4,000 which seemed just little more
than the community could raise.
Them when the CWA was adopted in 1888, an
opportunity arose whereby the hall could be con-
structed if the community would pay for the ma
terials, the government to furnish all labor from
the unemployment rolls. But what with import
ant roads that should be constructed, the CWA
labor was utilized other projects, and long be-
fore men could be released to work on the COM
1nllnity hail. the CWA had fallen through.
Today, through the WPA, the construction of
the community hall for White Bluffs is certainty,
with excavation already started This time, the
community is not asked to furnish all the cost,
nor even half the cost. The WPA is furnishing
$7149 in labor and materials to build the hail. and
the community is asked to furnish only about $500
to meet additional expenses, such supervision
and some materials which could not be included
in the amount allotted to this community
Considering the many benefits which the build
ing will bring the community, this is extremely
small sum for the community to contribute as it's
share A number Of families have already signi-
fled their willingness to contribute their share OF
the amount and a thorough canvass Of the com
munity will be made soon to raise the remainder
Of the fund. It is contribution which every pub
lc-spirited resident of the community should feel
glad to make for it is which will be returned
many times over in community advancement.

RIVER DEVELOPMENT

A telegram from Senator Stewer of Oregon,
made public by the Inland Empire Waterways
association Wednesday, contained much signlh-
cant information for those interested in the de-
velopment of the Columbia river.
Senator Steiwer told the association, which has
been working for the Immediate construction Of
a dam at Umatilla Rapids, that the chief of en-
gineers will sustain the position of the board of
engineers in declaring the project non-feasibe at
this time
The boards reason for their decision is that
they suggest the progressive improvement of the
river, favoring the construction of dams at Cello
and John Day Rapids before work is done far
Their up the river
The decision of the board indicates that they
concerned now with the improvement of the Col
umbia river for igation principally rather than
for power development. By making the develop
ment progressive one, working step by step up
the river beginning at tide water, they will bring
water navigation to the inland areas adjacent to
the Columbia each unit is completed
and proved successful.
Such a program we believe is the wisest
course, even though it means that construction
of power dam at Priest Rapids will not be I'M
dertal on for many years. If river transportation
will aid the inland districts, we will be provided
series Of proving grounds before any large sums
of money arc spent the upper reaches of the
Columbia and Snake rivers.

full hand-Work carvings and marble
steps. I don't believe there is wood
step in Stockholm in any building.
I have been in dozens Of them since
we arrived and have not seen one
yet. The streets in Old Stockholm
that is where the old buildings are
are very narrow, but in the bus1-
ness districts they are very wide.
"Few cars are seen here. All busl-
ness is carried on with takes and
bicycles rather than with trucks
and privately owned cars. Few are
seen as gas is out of sight. The
structure of the buildings is very
modern and very beautiful. The
streets are laid out in stone squares
about 4. by 6 inches and are very
clean. The cleanliness of the city
any where one goes is very notice
able to that of the United States.
"The money here is very different
also and, I might add, seemingly
very plentiful. Every one has it, not
just this one and that one, but
everyone. The government is ruled
by a king and every day at noon
very grand spectacle is seen near
the castle grounds in the changing
of the guards. 1t is grand to- see
full dress, an enormous band, and
everyone stepping high and hand
some.
"There are many beautiful parks
and anywhere in the city you can
see lakes and great waterways with
immense bridges and archways
built over them. Stockholm is con-
sidered the worlds most beautiful
city and it certainly is well said.
tThe climate is very nice so far.
However, it is spring now and OF
course very beautiful out-of- doors.

in the summertime it is never dark
and is that way for months, so that
will be something to see.
people eat constantly here and
the coffee pot is never off the stove.
They have gas and electricity to
cook with, just as in the States.
They serve coffee about every two
or three hours and feed one so
much that it is misery. I wonder
if they are a long-lived group of
people.
Stockholm has no saloons yet
they have liquor but it is bought
by permit issued by the govern
ment on presentation of tax re-
ceipts, and so much is allowed each
month according to your salary, so
we have seen no drunks staggering
out of every corner Or, nearly so
as you see in the States.
Clips are very profuse here.
Everybody tips everybody else for
any little service that is rendered.

I will like it very much"

Golf Divots
By Jimmy Lee

The Twin Cities Golf Club will
hold smoker for all members Fri
day, September II, at $3.50, at Eel
lowship Hall, Garfield Ave. near
Lake st. in Minneapolis. Refresh
ments will be served. All men,
bers are urged to be present.
A special Labor Day tournament
was held out at Highland course
last Sunday. Thirteen members
took part in this event-a very I'M
lucky number to some people, but
not very unlucky to Johnny Will
iams who won the contest with an
sc. Close on Johnny's heels were
such persons as Jimmy Murray,
81; Hezzy Allen, 88; Sammy Reed,
80; Jimmy Hughes, 95, and Charles
Noble, 81. This tournament was
just a preliminary tournament to
the clubs tournament which will
be held next Sunday.
Speaking of tournaments, I am
reminded of the Negro National
which was held in Philadelphia
last week. This tournament is
"the" big event of our golfng peo-
pie. The tournament was won by
John DENLY of Alabama. DENLY is
a very good golfer, pre-medic
student of one of the leading
schools in the South. He has
played in the National for the last
six or seven years and has always
been threat. Mrs. Lucy Will
iams of Indiana won the woman's
championship with a 1919 for thirty
six holes. My, anywhere is our
Mrs. Reed? Well, mock me if you
will, but next year the twin towns
will be in there pitching to win
something!
Recent additions to the clubs
roster: James Lewis, recently of
Des Moines, but now of st. Paul,
and Theodore Ruffner, also of st.
Paul. Welcome, new members.
This good old weather and the
double holiday brought out some
of our leading female golfers to
try their shots. Mrs. George Mum
dell our only left-handed player,
Mrs. Dwight Reed of St. Paul, Mrs.
Mary Ingram, Mrs. James Muir
ray, Mrs. Ed Brown. These ladies
really had remarkable scores out
at Columbia Monday.
I hear that Bert Dawson is very
much pleased with his game now
adays. Can it be that Bert has
regained his old confidence again
well, I hope.
Tommy Donaldson, who has
been suffering from an attack of
hay fever, is ready to resume his
fine play again.
Ed Brown and wife had things
out Monday out at Columbia. I
think "Mr." Brown won-better
luck next time, Mrs. Brown.
Monday night the Twin Cities
will have an opportunity to see and
hear the newest woman orchestra
leader sensation, Anna Mae Win
burn, who brings her 12-piece
band to the Twin Cities for a one
night stand at the Coliseum Ball
room, Lexington and University,
st. Paul.
The spacious Coliseum is ex-
pected to be packed and jammed to
the doors.
