At present there is a warm contest

NORWAY TREMBLES
ABOUT HER FATE
Little Nations Fear War May
Wipe Them OFF Map.

New Iork.-The position of Norway
puts that country i'll danger of being
involved against her will in the Euro
pean war. This peril is one that Nor
way has contemplated with fear for
many years. According to Harold
Spencer, writing in the Contemporary
Review after an extended tour of Nor
way, the people of that country have
for a long time been growing more and
more anxious regarding their political
fate
Norway" he says, "in common with
Sweden and other little peoples of
northern Europe, Is at present over
shadowed with a deep, grave and in
creasing anxiety as to her national Sc
curity.
This anxiety is not so much official
as national, and / found it more in the
people than in the government. But it
pervaded the whole life of Norway, and
unless something happens to allay or
remove this anxiety it may have de-
plorable results in the diversion of the
national energies from her present

ment.
what is the source of this anxiety?
ttrst and foremost it is the natural,
inevitable nervousness of Il. little peo-
pie. Norway is a nation great in heart
but small in numbers. Her area is
large, but her population is small less
than 100000. A slender garrison for
SO great province, especially as Nor
way is not only assailable by sea
through her fiords, but also, in the ex-
treme north, open by land to attack by
one great military power. Nor Is 1t
possible for Norway to hope for much
help from her little neighbors. The
most powerful, Sweden, has been re
Gently offended to the heart by Nor
ways separation. Holland and Den
mark are quite as weak and exposed
as Norway herself"
While Mr.. Spencer's review of the
conditions in Norway was written
months ago, he found that the people
looked upon a great conflict like the
present as inevitable and feared that
their country might have no place in
the new map of the world made at the
end of the great struggle.

A GREAT
INDUSTRIAL
EXHIBITION
The Mineral Point Fair of 1914
Record Breaker.
THE MANAGERS MAKE GOOD

And Give to the People an Exhibition
Representative OF the Progress of
the Age. - Fine Exhibits in Every
Department. - Special Attractions
Very Entertaining. - Sports Even
Better than Represented Date OF
Of 1915 Fair Fixed for August II,
1S, 19; and 20.
The people of Mineral Point and
nearby territory put forth united eff
fort to make the Fair of this year Il
great success. and great success it
has proven 20 be. The heavy fall of rain
on Tuesday night made the attendance
on Wednesday smaller than it other
wise would have been; but the heavens
cleared, and the weather continued
favorable until the close of the Fair.
The gate receipts of Thursday and Fri
day We're beyond expectations, and the
grounds on those days presented scenes
that would indicate that a large pro
portion of the people of southwestern
Wisconsin We're gathered there. The
exhibits in every department We're large,
There was fine show of horses. 1t
was found to be impossible to furnish
stalls for horses that We're not entered
early in the week.
The show of cattle has never been eX-
celled in any previous fair held in this
section of the state. The show of fat
steers was the wonder of every visitor.
The exhibit of sheep was large and
fine.
The exhibit of swine was fully up to
the usual standard.
Poultry men We're delighted at the
show of fine birds of which there We're
nearly one thousand on exhibition in
the various classes.
While the exhibits in the division of
butter, cheese and honey We're not
numerous, some very good exhibits
were made.
The exhibits of agricultural imple-
ments showed that inventive genius is
still at work.
The displays made by merchants and
others in Industrial Hall were very at
tractive and attested to the enterprise
of those who placed them there.
The show of grains and vegetables
told of the productiveness of the soil of
the blue grass region. 1t exceeded that
of any other year in the history of the
Fair.
There were beautiful displays Of
plants, flowers and fruits.
The ladies contributed their full
share toward making the Fair a success
as shown by the exhibits in the division
of Household and Domestic and in the
Culinary department.
The entries in the fine arts depart
ment were confined to persons living
within a radius of twenty five miles of
Mineral Point. There was a large and
very fine exhibit.
The pupils and teachers of various
schools throughout Iowa county are en-
titled to credit for the support which
they gave Superintendent Van Natta in
his efforts to make the Educational ex
hibit leading feature Of the Fair.
That the efforts of Superintendent,
teachers, and pupils We're crowned with
success was apparent to every person
who saw the displays in this depart
ment.
