The FAMINE IN SWEDEN.

L. Holmberg, q teacher in the pub
lie schools of Sorsele parish, Vester-
botten, Sweden, makes stirring ap-
peal in Hemlandet, one of the Swed-
ish-American newspapers of Chicago,
for aid for the people of his parish
especially, although he admits that
conditions are as bad in neighbor-
ing parishes. The crops were totally
destroyed and conditions are worse
than in the famine year 1867. Most of
the relief so far sent has been distrib-
uted in Norrbotten. "The whole Sor-
sele parish" writes Mr.. Holmberg,
lis without food and is suffering for
the want of all kinds of the neces-
saries of lie. The chances for en-
ployment are very few. The farmers
have no credit, and indeed the local
merchants dare not order goods on
account of the scarcity of money"
That parish alone needs between 5000
and 1900 sacks of -four to pull
through the winter not to speak of
about 500 barrels of seed grain that
will be required in the spring. A
sack of flour, 100 Kilograms (about
22O pounds sells there for IS crowns
or 1915. The home government is
doing what it can but the resources
are so limited that unless outside help
comes the suffering will be very Sc
we're. This letter was written before
Christmas. There should be no abate-
ment in the interest shown in raising
of funds for the relief of the people of
the old fatherland. Kandiyohi county
has furnished an example that should
be followed throughout Minnesota,
especially in those counties where the
large majority of the citizens hail from
Scandinavia or whose fathers did.
Northwestern, a Norwegian newspaper
published at St. Paul, last week pub
lished column write-up of the plan
and means used for inaugurating a
GENERAL suhscrintiOn in KandivOhi
county and urged the people of other
counties to do likewise.

CHANcEIAT SEMINARY.
Prot. IjosvoId will Resign Next Spring.
Swedish clssse. May Be
Organtzod


Prof. S. o. Tjosvold, professor in
mathematics, bookkeeping and busi-
ness practice at the Willmar Semi
nary, has informed the Board of
Trustees that he will resign from the
faculty at the end of the present
school year. At meeting of the
trustees held two weeks ago a special
committee composed of Hon. L. O.
Thorpe, A. o. Nasset and Prof.
Henry Solum was appointed to select
and call teacher to take the place of
Prof. Tjosvold. They have decided
that Prof. G. Holmquist, princip al { f
the schools at New London, is their
choice and accordingly sent a call
to him this week. The trustees are
hoping to hear favorably from
Prof. Ho]mquist as they believe he
would be a valuable acquisition to the
Seminary. If he accepts it will be the
intention that classes in the Swedish
language will be organized placing
the Swedish on an equal footing with
the Norwegian at the school. There
is no doubt that such a course will
widen the scope and field of the school
locally.
This change will be in line with a
purpose that has existed for some
time. A number of the Swedish peo-
pie who desire their children to &C.
quire an academic education under
Christian influences much prefer to
have them near at home so that they

CuriOsities of Words.

There are two words in the whole
range Of the English language contain
ing all the vowels in their regular Or
der. They are abstemious and facetious.
The following words each have them
in irregular order: Authoritative, dis
advantageous, encouraging, efficacious,
instantaneous, importunate, menda-
cious, nefarious, precarious, pertina-
cious, sacrilegious, simultaneous, tena-
cious, unintentional, unobjectionable,
unequivocal, undiscoverable and vexa-
tious. A search through the dictionary
might bring several others to light. It
Is usually said that there are but seven
nine lettered monosyllabic words in the
English language scratched, stretched.
scrunched, scranched, screeched,
squelched and staunched.

can visit them often and be in close
touch with them. If the Willmar
Seminary makes provision for this
class of students in the matter Of
classes there is no doubt that it will
popularize the institution with that
large element of our population.
The resignation of Prof. Tjosvold
will be heard with regret by all
friends of the school, as no better
teacher for the branches be has taught
can be found. He has not given out
what his plans for the future are.
