S, Family Tells Santa Claus How to Enter U. S. Penasse, Minn., Dec. 24.—(P)— Here, Santa Claus, is a bit of vital information: There's fresh fallen snow up here at the northwest angle where -you will first enter the United States. You can cram a few more joys and toys in your already-bulging sack without fearing loss of time for with that new snow, Dancer and Prancer and Dunder and Blitzen, your reindeers, will pull you through before you can say Jack Robin- son, And, Santa Claus—if the Dar- byshires are still living on the “angle”—you know, the most northern point in the United States; the place you always en- ter this country first—don't for- get Leslie Darbyshire, Jr. You must have stopped there last year when he was four years old. If he and his brothers and sis- ters and his parents are still 3 there they will be wanting you ta stop again. You can’t miss it, Santa. The northwest angle is that little piece of land sticking gut in the Lake of the Woods, most of it north of the Canadian border, Only airplanes and snowsleds can get there in the wintertime, Santa, because the nearest rail- road is 60 miles away and if you don't stop, the Darbyshires (they must be living there yet, don't you think?) will be awfully dis- appointed. In 1906 the United States War De- partment accepted delivery of a Wright biplane, the first military airplane in the world, and the first airplane to be operated by any gov- ernment. Burdick to Propose Lemke for Speaker Announcement that he will propose William Lemke as Republican candi- date for speaker of the national house of representatives was made Saturday by U. L. Burdick, congress- man-elect from North Dakota, He said he hoped to rally progressive congressman to Lemke's banner. Independent observers, however, saw no chance of success for the movement, asserting that Se man Bertram Snell of New York would be the party candidate and, after the vote is taken, would be min- ority leader. The Republicans have no chance of electing a speaker because of the heavy Democratic majority. arts Ja nuary Eve nts Sensational Sale! Lovely Styles! Every Dress Brand New!
