Erastus Painter whose arrest on
the Fourth of Julyand fine in police
court on the following day, were
noted last week, has appealed his
case to the district court and is
now out on bond. Mr.. Painter is
firm in his declaration that he was
not drunk and he says he can es-
tablish his innocence by a number
of reputable witnesses. Mayor
Skinner, on the contrary, insists
that Mr.. Painter was drunk and he
is determined to push the prosecu-
ton. He admits, however, that
the man was not disturbing any
body.

favorably OF H. X. Love, formerly
special agent. but that his hearsay
knowledge OF r. T. Jones, another
speclai agent, was mot entirely faN

Love was a witness for Secretary
Ballinger at the hearing; Jones APP

evidence distinctly unfavorable 10 the
secretary. The witness said Jones
was guilty of knocking"

said that he and chief OF the field

that IL was favorable to the patenting

In addition, or possibly the pri-
mary cause of the concert, will be
the "Mindegavefesten" to be held on
that day. when .Winneshiek county
and vicinity will take steps to full
fill her part of the obligation to a
great cause.
On May II, 1914, Norway will cele
brate the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the adoption of it's Consti-
tuition. Norwegians in general have
reason to be proud of the exception
al development of their mother
country in this century of time, and,
although thousands of Norway's
sons and daughters in this country
will be unable to go home" to par
ticipate in celebrating the great
jubilee day above referred to, yet
they have set on foot in the United
States a movement that will con-
vince the people of Norway that the
Norwegians of this country are with
them heart and soul, if not in per-
son.
At a meeting of representative
Norwegians in Minneapolis in 1909
1t was unanimously resolved to
raise a FIND in America which
should be presented to the people of
Norway through the "Storthing''
Norwegian parliament). The rev.
enues of this fund are to be used
yearly for practical and humane
purposes, according to the decisions
of the Storthing. The fund may also
be increased either by gifts or lega-
cies. $4,000 of the fund is to be
appropriated for the restoration of
the "Trondhjems Domkirke." This
historic old church is regarded as
Norway's greatest edifice, being an
old national gathering place and the
! former center for the Christian
church of North Europe To restore
this church and preserve it for many
years to come is not only worthy
idea, but a sublime and beautiful
one. But of not Tess Importance are
the other uses that this permanent
fund may be put to, viz. combating
the dread white plague, assisting
the survivors of unfortunate fisher
men, or others who have met with
accident, etc.
To superintend the collection of
this fund committee was appoint
ed. This committee consists of
representative Norwegians of the
states whose population contains
Norwegians to any extent. 1t is a
gigantic task. probably the greatest
ever undertaken by the Norwegian
Americans. There are over 2,00O,-
90 Norwegians in the United
States. and to reach them it will be
Necessary for every county with a
Norwegian population to organize.
Here, in Winneshiek county, the
three Norwegian societies: the
Confederated Norwegian Singing So
cieties. the Norske Selskab and
"Symra," have taken charge of mat
ters. and it will not surprise us to
note that the results obtained here,
in what is considered a central place
for the Norwegian people OF the
west, will more than compare favor
ably with the work done elsewhere.

Home Culture Club Picnic

"All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" Although Won
ems Clubs are in earnest in their
work, and the Home Culture Club
very much so, still they know the
truth of the old saying, and also
approaching the regard our gentle
men friends show US in giving one
afternoon to care for our horses
when we meet at the different homes,
we planned a social picnic.
Mrs. Nels. Younggren kindly of
fered US the use of her home and we
accepted. The day we decided on
was August rs and it was an ideal
one. The members, with but few
exceptions, were all there with their
husbands. The dinner was such a
one as only "our club" could create
1t was simply Jolly picnic party
with all restraint removed.
The club includes in its members
a number of ladies who possess nc
mean talent in music, and the COM
mittee had prepared fine program
for the afternoons entertainment
Judge and Mrs Arnquist of Hudson
were guests, and they favored us
with several beautiful selections
and responded cheerfully to repeat
ed encores. The party broke ur
with hearty good wishes to Mr.. and
Mrs. Younggren for their generous
hoSDitalitV.
