Glarus, a town that was virtually
transplanted from the foothills of
the Alps, and the first Swiss village

of Glarus, Switzerland. 1t had been
year of crop failures and industrial
stagnation and the villagers saw more
lean years ahead. They decided to

them to purchase lands. On March

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-"All inhabi-
