The Copenhagen papers announce
that Ole Hansen, the Danish minister
of agriculture, will visit the United
States in the near future. Ostensi-
bly, the minister comes to America Oh
a pleasure trip, but it is safe TO as
sumo that his visit will mean a closer
relationship hereafter between Danish
and American agriculture. Minister
Hansen will be the first Danish cabi-
net minister to visit the United States
"a fact which gives his coming con
siderable significance. He is a peas
ant by birth and farmer by profess
sion. and has worked his way to the
front by the sheer force of his char.
acter and ability. He is a plain I'M
assuming man, who has never acted
as if he had risen above his original
station in life. His countrymen in
America ought to be able to present
him to native born Americans with
feelings of genuine pride for he is

New Fashions Observed at Recent
Race Meeting in England.
Rumor has it that mere man is
about to take leaf out of woman's
book, and at the risk of ridicule pro-
tect his head from the rays of the
summer sun with the rarasol.
The rumor is confirmed by some
West end shopkeepers, who profess
to have done good business in the
last few days in sunshades specially
designed for mans use. The shades
are, of course, not the elaborate arti-
Gle used by the lady of fashion, but
the plain, unadorned specimen often
used by man in tropical countries.
At some of the recent race meetings
few we'll dressed men have been
bold enough to start the fashion, and
at Ascot gentleman having bor-
rowed pretty shade from fair COM
panion was not ashamed to take ad-
vantage of it.

Five miles south and west of Glenn

the Prairie Oil and Gas company has
drilled in, at depth of 2.340 feet, a

other big well at the same depth pro-
ducing the same grade foil. This
strike is remarkable in that both
