Sioux City, May 24.-one million
dollars as present to Norway on her
Tooth anniversary of the severance of
her connection with Denmark, which
takes place In 1914, is planned by the
sons and daughters Of that country In
America. Sioux City is one of the
first to launch the movement, Rev.
e. Johnson, pastor Of st. Johns Nor
wegian Lutheran church. being hearth
ly in favor of the plan.
CAS- yet there has been no word re-
ceived from the committee in regard
to the movement" said Rev. Mr.. john
son, except that received in the Nor
wegian papers. lit Is very likely, how
ever, that we win hear soon, and then
the movement will be formally
launched"
This gift was decided upon at the
Fourth of July" celebration held in
Minneapolis, when one of the speakers
suggested that 1t would be worthy
movement for the sons and daughters
OF the fatherland to take up. He
claimed that there were million Nor
wegians in America, producing a half
billion dollars a year, for this, the
country Of their adoption, and they
could we'll afford to donate million to
their native land or the native land OF
their parents.
1.-THE money will be spent intelli-
gently" said Mr.. Johnson THE speak
er at the Minneapolis celebration said
a fourth of the sum was to be used
in restocking the mountains with for
ests; another fourth in draining
swamps and retaining large tracts Of
fertile but unproductive land that will
add largely to the area Of cultivable
land, and the remaining half to be
used for building up industrial enter.
prises."
AS the fund will not be presented to
Norway until 1914, there Is seven years
in which to raise 1t. 1t Is probable
the contributions viii be limited to a
sum that will permit of every Nor
wegian having an opportunity of con-
tributing.
+ United States Senator Knute Nelson
was made chairman of general scom-
mittee to devise the manner OF raising
the money, and with him are about
twenty other prominent people in Min
nesota, Iowa. Wisconsin and South
Dakota. Charles N. Herreid, former
governor Of South Dakota, is on this
committee. Asmeeting will be held at
an early date for the purpose of de-

apprenticeship that qualified him for
going into the business on his own
hook. The Forest Milling Company

and was doing good business. The
stranger seemed to have plenty of
money and he took stock enough IN
the enterprise to control it. He pro-
ceeded to turn out fine lot Of oat-
meal and pearl barley. He claimed to
have large contract to fill and there
fore refused to sell any of the product
to local dealers. II any one III Cedar

had to get 1t thru the jobbing houses
It was not long until it leaked out that
the whole plant had been gobbled lip
by the American Cereal company The
shrewd fellow who had bought con-
trolling interest was the representative
OF the trust. Gradually the output Of
the mill was curtailed and finally The
establishment was closed.

this thing, but he wants to do his rail-
road competitors
Mr.tHamblin furnished several en-
livening scenes during the otherwise
technical hearing. He essayed to ques-
.tion the policy Of the railroad commits
ion in putting in low oil rate for the
benefit of a Marshalltown industry.
Commissioner Ketchum was on his
feet in a minute. Mr.. Hamblin said
that the commission had committed a
grievous error when 1t reduced oil from
third to fourth class. For" said he,
ut has resulted In all of the surround
Ing states doing the same thing and
thus the revenue of the railroads has
been materially reduced. No more oil
has been handled, but the MARSHALL
town institution has been built up at our
cost.
Mr. Ketchum interpolated the re-
mark that the institution was an Iowa
industry, that the commission was pro-,
tectlng these industries, and that it has
quadrupled since the new rate went
into effect.
5 "Have no doubt of it." said Mr..
Hamblin. land the railroads put UP the
money to quadruple It,"
Mr.. Eaton said that the commission
would show that it is not just and rea-
sonable as it stands. Mr.. Hamblin
argued, however, that the rate cut no
figure IL 1t did not shut out COMPETE
ton. In fixing joint rates he insisted
that this should be the criterion. at
tacking the theory that the price to the
consumer cut any figure at all.

Dubuque, May 24.-There have been
people whose conscience prompted
them to make restitution for money
stolen or theft of goods; some have
neglected to pay for certain services or
goods received and after a while their
consciences forced them to settle the,
old accounts. But one of the oldest
accomplishments Of the power Of
mans conscience came to light in let
ter received by Fred Boyer, clerk in the
office of Passenger Agent Hyde Of the
Illinois Central.
Upon opening the office mail Boyer
came across letter addressed to the
Illinois Central passenger agent. Up
on opening the letter he read the fol-
lowing:
Enclosed you will find 35c in stamps
for had once ride on a blind"
No name was signed and all efforts
to learn who wrote the communication
We're futile.
The sender Of the stamps was un-
doubleday Naboring under the effect OF
a gnawing conscience. At one time,
according to his letter, he stole a ride
on an Illinois Central train and rode.

given to the front platform Of the bag
gage car, immediately behind the en-.
CINE It is probable that he had short
ride, because he sent only So cents in

Upon. the receipt of the letter the
stamps were filed away and credit Civ
