VIKINGS IN HISTORY.
MOST ROMANTIC FIGURES OF
THE AGES PAST.
Norway Always the Home of Fabled-
and Real Heroes Who Dominated !
Sea and Land Twelve
Centuries Ago.

Perhaps the most romantic figures
in history, at least to the boys and .
girls who love adventure and daring.
deeds, are the Vikings. Centuries
have passed since the appearance of.
an unknown ship at sea was the sig
nal for terrified prayer by priests and
people, the burden of which was.
Save US, o Lord, from the rage OF
the Norsemen." But even to this day
the word Viking has power to thrill
such as few other words possess.
Norway is the real home of the vi
kings, for, from the tabled time when
Odin, their god, led his followers out
Of Asia and settled with them in Nor
way, such an unreasoning love OF
freedom Influenced the fierce Morse
men that not one of them was willing
to be ruled and all wanted to rule.
Thus it came about that the country
was divided into very small portions,
and over each portion ruled petty
lord, known as a jarl or earl. These
little domains naturally quarroled
continually. and SO things were in a
sad plight until Harold. the Fair
Haired, upon the death Of his father,
was proclaimed king. The lad was
only ten years old at the fine, but the
Norsemen matured early, and SO 1t
was not very long before he fell in
love with Gyda, the beautiful daugh-
ter of petty King ruling over a
neighboring land. He sent an am
| bassador to ask her hand in mar
riage, as was the custom Of the time;
but Gyda. who evidently was very am
bilious indeed, sent back message
saying that she would become King
Harold's wife Oily when he had con:
quered all of Norway and bent 1t to
his rule as King Erik had conquered
Sweden. AS soon as Harold had re-
ceiyed this message he took a solemn
/ oath not to cut his beautiful hair until
he won Gyda for a bride on her own
conditions.
True to his word, he conquered
Norway and, as a consequence, Gyda
became his bride.
| Up to the time of the wedding feast
he had been known as "The Frowsy
Haired" but afterward he was called
all over his conquered kingdom, Har-
old Haarfelger, which means. the
fair-haired
| 1t was with the reign of Earold the
Fair-Haired that the Viking age be.
gan. =
Although Harold had conquered
Norway, he had by no means subdued
the fierce love for. freedom in the
hearts of his subjects. Those who
had ruled over petty kingdoms re-
fused to be subject to the rule of any
man, and SO they sailed away and be-
came sea robbers, or Vikings.

xist without honest and efficient

exist without honest and efficient
government.
| shall not attempt to discuss in
detail the big problems of the day
but | do want it understood that this
shall be ringing declaration in be-
h&f Of ths rank and file of the Re-
publican party in favor of new deal.
| do insist that the new Republican,
ism is irrevocably committed to the
cause of the people to the end that
greed and graft shall forever be
eliminated and no responsibility of
leadership in the march of progress
and reform will be shirked. The new
Republicanism looks forward with
confidence to a greater field of op-
portunity and usefulness to the peo-
pie.
The long tenure of power of the Re-
publican party was due to confidence
of the people by demonstration Of
capacity to govern, never before
equaled in the history of this coun-
try, and the only reason that we do
not still enjoy that confidence is that
we have been betrayed by false lead
ership.
The cause of the people and the
spirit of our free institutions is still
as dear to the rank and file Of the
Republican party as it was in the
days of Abraham Lincoln.
Unhampered by the past, incorrupt-
able for the future, the new Repub-
licanism of today faces the big proc
ems of tomorrow with the utmost
confidence and defies any party to
out-match our principles or out-do US
as a party in striving for the accom-
plishment of the highest ideals. This
country has reached a reformative
period in it's history. The new Re
publicanism realizes this and assumes
the tremendous responsibilities which
| it involves.
The new Republicarism being firm
in the conviction that the real re-
forms Of tomorrow must be entrust-
ed to the great mass of voters COM
posing that party and pledging our
| selves absolutely to the cause of right
and justice, welcomes the return Of
those Republicans who saw fit TO
leave their party and protest by their
votes against the unfortunate condi-
tions of 1912. Realizing that strength
is only gained by faithful perform
ance of the popular will, let it be the
guarantee of the Buckeye Republican
Club, from this day forward, that we
will keep the faith.
This is our covenant with the peo-
pie and we insist that this is COM
mon ground upon which all the friends
of true reform can unite and we have
no apologies to make in urging their
fullest cooperation.
The above address was directed to
the people of Franklin county but we
feel that it is good for the people of
Fulton county and indeed the whole
state of Ohio, therefore we publish it
/ in toto.

CHANGE IN LOVE LETTERS
Typewriter of Today Is Held Respon-
sible for the Curt Notes of
Cupid.

With the coming Of the typewriter
the art of writing love letters, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, seems to
have gone out of fashion, and, in
stead of the ornate missives our
grandmothers treasure, the modern
love letter reads something like this:
"Dr. EN-: Yrs. reed. 1t was a
daisy. Wish 1 cd. write as you do.
Am very busy, but you know-same
as ever. Phone me tomorrow. Will
try to catch 1929 Sat Meet me at
station. If it doesn't rain, we'll have
a good game.
You know. What think Of you. So
long. Aft, JACK"
Thirty years ago, il Jacks father
had been writing to Emma's mother,
this same letter would have read
thus:
Dearest Emmeline: Your dear let
ter this moment reached me, and the
beauty of it's expression affiicts me
with sense of my incompetency to
reply in kind. But you know that my
heart beats for you alone.
Although my time is not my own, I
feel that l must snatch a few sweet
moments in which to assure you that
in this letter repeat all ever said or
wrote to you, and that. love you bet
ter than my life.
eff you could write to me every
day in the same strain my work would
fairly fly under my accelerated eff.
forts. Such is the influence of your
inspiring devotion.
'On Saturday I will be in the train
which reaches s. at half after 8.
If your dear face were there to vel
come me, you know how happy
should be- Whatever plans you may
make for our brief holiday I will glad
ly carry out. My own love, how can
l tell you what you are to me?
II am yours devotedly and faith
fully. JOHN w. WATSON"

ALCOHOL FOR AUTOMOBILES

The Challenge Oil & Paint Company,
Toledo, Ohio, issue a folder showing
Frost Proof" Oils for Winter use for

ONE Alcohol is also making hit; it
keeps cooling water from freezing, cleans
out all dirt and scale, and is approved by
leading engineers. Enough for Winter
season costs $3.50, including Beaume
Hydrometer for testing. This would look
like cheap insurance. They also want an
automobile owner with some spare time
who g Id look after their business in
this ic ality. 1t might be well TO write
them if interested.

If you have dandruff it is because
the scalp is too dry and fakes off.
Freshen up the scalp-lubricate it
and dandruff disappears.
Surely try SOC bottle of Partisan

it, stops falling hair and itching

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-03-24

A little device which will save many
women time and eye strain has been
patented by an Indiana woman 1t is
needle threader, and its action is
practically automatic. In connection
with it a thimble is used, or, to be more
exact, the threading device is mounted
on the thimble. 1t consists of a fat
narrow strip Of metal with central
transverse eye and inwardly inclined
end walls. The head of the needle
passes through this eye. and the thread
is brought around the end walls and
wrapped once around it. As the needle
is drawn through the eye the thread is
hooked into its own eye through the
lower end. which is open. The free
part of the eye, however, is resilient
and opens only at the pressure from
without that is exerted by the thread
sliding through it.
