recently resigned the superintendency
OF the South Dakota Children's Home,
has been elected vice president of the
National Children Home society at its
nnual meeting held in Milwaukee.
While the office of vice president Of the
national society may carry with it no
labor of emuluments, Mr.. Sherrard' Is
election is an honorable recognition of
his life long work in this country in
behalf of homeless, helpless and uncared
for children. 1t also reflects credit up
on the state.

The attendance at the Aarhus Elk
position has been very disappointing
so far. The citizens of Aarhus ex-
pected 5000 visitors from outside dai'

weather gets the blame. and h good
people Of the beautiful city still be-
lieve that the average daily attend
ance will be 5000.

Sweden is noted for its proficiency
in music and has some Of the finest
brass bands In the world. For this
reason it seems strange to so often see
German or other foreign bands fur.
nishing the music at some Of the most
popular summer resorts. The reason
for this Is not far to seek. Resort
~proprietors find that they can secure
foreign bands for the season consider
ably cheaper than they can their OWN
home bands-just as Europeans can
buy American farm implements or
sewing machines cheaper than a
the people who make them. AS there
is no tariff on importing musical or
CARNATIONS, foreign bands will con-
tinue to be In evidence here as long
as they a be secured SO much
cheaper than the home talent.

The agitation for the return of Swe-
dish-Americans to the home country
continues in spite Of the Indifferent
success Of the past two years work.
Literature has been distributed in
every section Of the country, national
list societies have been organized,
those desiring homes Of their own
have been helped to acquire them,
but the emigration to America con-
tinues. In fact, during the first quar-
ter of the year it has been close to
three times as heavy as last year.
Industrial conditions due to the finan.
cial crisis Of a year ago have more
than offset any work the anti-emigra-
tionists have been able to do.

Nowadays there is not much criti-
cism of the Swedish-American, at
least not as to language. Only a few
years & the Swedish people would
be so put out by the kind Of Swedish
the visitors spoke that at times criti-
cism would greatly mar the visit
home. Now, what If the visitors do
mix in a little English now and then?
That passes by unnoticed. In fact,
many Of the Swedes, particularly Of
the younger generation, are able to
talk a little English themselves. The
result is that the Swedish-American
finds himself greeted more cordially
than some years ago, eve though his
Swedish at times may be sadly In
need of repairs.

Midsummer festivals are to be held
in all parts Of the country this year..
The late spring has given away to a
beautiful summer and everybody feels
unusually interested in outdoor fes-
t~ivities. The tourist season has also
opened up strong, and many visitors
from Europe and America will cele-
brate this festive occasion in Sweden.
The tourist traffic has greatly in
creased in this country of late years.
owing to more extensive advertising
Of the charms of the country. The
Swedes o realize the value of this
traffic to them, and are putting them
selves out to make it pleasant for Wis.,
itors. Sweden has many points Of
scenic interest and 1t is only a matter
of making them known and visitors
will come. The tourist business is yet
in its infancy In this country, but
from now IN 1t will continue to grow.
