Thorl Thorfinson, of Klein was repre-
sentative of the southwestern tier of
townships in the city this week during
the sale of school lands owned by the
state. During a visit with the DEMOCRAT
he stated that active steps were being
taken toward providing the Icelandic'
students at the state university with an
defensive selection of literary and his
toric works by standard authors in the
Icelandic language. Mr.. Thorfinson and
his neighhbors of that nationality are
receiving the cooperation of residents
Iof the large Icelandic settlements in
Pembina county and the present indica-
lions point to quite library as works in
| that language will before very long be
placed at the disposal of state university
students whose birthplace was in Ire
land. Mr. Thorfnson is enthusiastic in
the promotion of this matter which gives
assurance to the prediction of it's sue
cess.
