.NORW AY OFFERS
MILLS A MARKET
Commerce Department Says the
Flour Exporters Gould Develop
Big Norwegian Trade.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE depart
ment of commerce and labor, in a bull
letin issued today, advises American
flour millers to make an active cam.
paign for an increase of their trade
with Norway, saying that such cam
paign will yield splendid fruit at an
early day.
Grain and their products form the
most important feature Of Norwegian
imports, amounting to 20 per cent OF
the total imports, and are valued at
about $15,000,000 a year. Rye and bar
ley lead, but there is large lmporta-
tion of corn, wheat and oats. Wheat
-four leads the list Of fours and meals.
Most of the grain imported comes now
from southern Russia and the flour
from Germany, altho considerable
quantity of that which is credited to
Germany, no doubt, comes from the
United States and is transshipped from
German ports.
After setting forth the above facts,
the department of commerce bulletin
says; ao,,, :; +,o on,u article on
the list that shows or promises we'll
for the United States. The present
prospects of a large grain crop indi-
cate an opportunity that might be made
much of were American millers and
cereal merchants to go over the ground
carefully. The proximity of the two
countries, their mutual respect for each
other, the number of Norwegians in the
United States, the improved transpor
tation facilities now in use, point tt
the possibility of large cereal trades
being built up. ., ~..,

was exercised as to the proper per-
son to meet in consequence.
Valentines in earlier days were writ
ten on plain sheets of paper not print
ed But soon they preferred to pen
their words on folded sheets with lace
edges. One of these early home valen-
tines is seen in the British museum
1T is made of a sheet of paper about as
large as lady's pocket handkerchief
folded into squares about four inches.
Valentines day as love festival
has lost much of it's significance dur
ing the last fifty years. 1t is so much
easier to buy the pierced hearts and
flying cupids and to trust that the
sentiments found on them may be ap-
propriate- Still there are many chill
dren in all parts of the world who are
designing their own valentines and
writing their own sentiments Some
of these designs are crude. others are
elaborate and beautiful A bright red
heart and a golden arrow are among
the favorite designs.
There is no country where the val
entines are prettier and more original
in design than in France; this is part
ly because even to this day the chill
dren love the name of St Valentine
So they are careful in making these
tokens of love. German boys are rich
in sentiment, though they do love
soldiers cap and a gun. American
men may be shy about expressing
their feeling, but American boys are
not. and SO Billy makes short work in
telling Dorothy that he loves her.
The years have gone by, and young
men and women think no more of the
kind, gentle priest who sacrificed his
life on the altar of love. Yet chill
dren, with their true feeling of graft
tude, will always love and remember
the good French priest who loved
