! thusiastic over the plan, and NJ. c. Mad
| sen, president of the Danish American
| Society of the United States was able 70
| tell him that over five hundred subscrip-
tions had been received to date.

templated will be the first piece of prop

Europe by American citizens, and they
plan to erect a shaft there when the deal
is contaminated within the next few weeks

would have been broken up into small par

THE heath land of Jutland." said one of
the local Danes yesterday, has a weird
beauty which captivates every tourist who
visits it. but it is gradually being reclaimed
for agricultural purposes, and this tract
which We are buying will be preserved in
it's natural state as is the Yellowstone Park
in this country, only. of course, on a much
smaller scale. Then there is another phase
of the situation that makes us happy" he
went on. Its about time Denmark got a
little publicity that is not connected with
Battling Nelson or DIR. Cook
