but the feeling of devotion to the
mother country is being exemplitied
by Bemidji Norwegian-American

the tales of glory from proud pages
of Norwegian history.

rived here today. He will speak in
Norwegian while M. j. Brown, the

CINE is good. Your department is
splendid and the ship shape manner
in which everything is kept up is
a tribute to the chief. Your depart
ment ought to go a long way in keep

Mr.. Fullerton says the new fire
law is so drastic and its provisions
so far reaching that he frankly does
not fully understand all the sections
of the new statute. z
"The law, framed after the Ohio
law" said Mr.. Fullerton, was neces-
sarily because of the alarningly
great increase of fire losses in Min

fire loss in Minnesota was $500. 600.
