No use to waste time trying to
reform the drunkard unless you
close up the bar-room. While
you are trying to reform one the
saloons are running three. 1t
takes too long to reform. The
better way is to shut of the
source of drunkard supply. 1t
is all very we'll to take care of
those who have been bitten by a
mad dog. The first duty is to
kill the dog bfore he bites others.
The saloons are constantly grind
ing out drunkards, and there can
be no relief until they are closed.

Tid.Dits Of News for Scandinavians.
OUR BEST CUSTOMERS.

scandinavians Deal Extensively With
the United States.
Scandinavia is a good customer OF
the United States, according to re-
cent report of the bureau of statistics
of the department of commerce AMI la
Dor. The report says that the trade of
the United States with these countries
has increased practically 200 per cent
in the last decade, while our total for
eign trade has increased but 20 per
cent.
How much of this rapil growth in
our trade with these countries is due
to the large percentage of their people
who have become part Of the popula-
ton of the United States cannot be sta
tistically stated, but it is at least an
interesting fact that the Scandinavian
population of the United States bears
a larger ratio to the present population
| of their countries of nativity than is
true of any other class of our foreign
born population.
The census of 1900 shows in the
United States 1862, 100 persons born in
| Sweden, Denmark and Norway, total
| equal to 107 per cent of the present
| population of those countries; while
| the highest ratio which any other ma
tionality in the United States bears to
| the present population of it's home
country is that of the United Kingdom
| q whit ,.on1ZC npyt
with 48 per cent, Italy 1,5 per cent, and
Austria-Hungary Is per cent.
The entire trade with Sweden, Nor
way and Denmark amounts to S32OOO,
900 a year, of which $6,00O,000 repre-
sents the imports from those countries
and $26, 0000 900 the exports. TO SWed
en- this country sends manufactures
cotton, mineral oil, iron and steel man
ufactures, -four lard and fertilizers
and other articles, and imports lrol
and steel in the form of bars and rods
hides and skins, wood pulp and match
es. The annual trade both ways
amounts to $10,100,0O0.
To Norway the United States SENDS
breadstuffs, iron and steel manufac
lures. sole leather, mOlasses and syl
ND. raw cotton and mineral oil, and re
ceives in return wood pulp, hides ant
skins, mackeral and anchovies. I'M
entire business amounts to about $6
100000 The imports show suostan
tial increase, while there is a tendenc.
to a decrease in the exports to tina
country.
Denmark's annual business with tn
United States amounts to about SIG
600 10000, or about one-half the trad
with Scandinavia. The imports ar
comparatively small, amounting T.
only a trifie over million dollars an
represented by hides and skins, rel
nets. unground flints and other small
imports. The export trade is yer
large consisting practically OF tn
same products as is sent to Swede
r and Norway.
