Union of Iceland is visiting at the Indian
school at Carlisle, Penn. She was born
in Reykjavik of native parents. For
generations her ancestors have been
famous patriots, and have figured con-

freedom from Danish rule. Her parents
died while Oliha was young, and her
training depended upon a maiden aunt
and bachelor uncle. No two individuals
in the country WELD wider political
power than do Oli6as relatives. The

Poor Corn Crop.

Many Windsor county farmers who
planted sweet corn for the canning fac
tory are disappointed in the crop this
season. 1t is claimed by some of them
that they will not get enough for their
corn to pay the cost OF getting it to the
factory. A poor corn crop two years in
succession has tendency to discourage
some. On recent Monday, 1OS 900
pounds OF corn were received at the FAC
tory and Al 900 cans of corn and succo
fash put up. 1t is hoped to secure corn
enough for million cans.

The vague halfhearted attempt so
