It is ex- pected that besides the 400 American singers, who will come to participate in the singing festivals, the thousands of unofficial Norse-American visitors and a host of their Norwegian rela- tives will unite in a demonstration to show honor to a country, which by Norwegians is held second in affection only to their country.

 The centennial will celebrate the dramatic event which marked the be- ginning of Norway's history as a na- tion. In 1914 as the result of the close of the Napoleonic wars the great powers of Europe forced .Fredericl. VT. of Denmark to give up Norway, hich had been attached to Denmark for four hundred and thirty-four years. to Sweden. and provided ruler for the acquisition in the person of the Swedish crown prince Charles Jean Bernadott Sweden had in 1909 lost Finland to Russia after 8 war, and was now given Norway in compensation.
 The Norwegians rebelled against this disp of their country. and under the leadership of Prince Chris tian Frederick refused to submit to Sweden. In the face of all Europe Norway declared it's independence and proceeded on May IF, 1874, to adopt a constitution. The prince was elected king and since that day the 17th of May has been to the people of Norway what the Fourth of July is to the United States. Sweden went to war against the new country and the struggle continued until November, 1874, when peace was made which led to a union of an equal basis. The union lasted until 1905 when it was peacefully dissolved on account of the oissatisfa ction with the arrangement.

Real Cleanliness .
 You will like the sensation of real cleanliness and refresh ment that follows the use of
PebecO.
 Tooth Paste

The refreshed feeling that Pebeco leaves is the indication of a big fact in modern den- tistry. It means that Pebeco has promoted a normal flow of natural alkaline saliva. And this has neutralized "acid- mouth, which authorities say most of us have and which is almost the sole cause of tooth decay.
 If the germs can't penetrate the enamel, they can't decay tooth. Since Pebeco saves the enamel from "acid- inouth," it helps save the teeth from decay-germs. Pebeco is the complete den- tifrice. Its all-round efficiency is shown in the way it cleans, whitens and polishes the teeth and overcomes unwholesome breath. Sold everywhere. 7tn-Day Trial 7a6s ana Aoid 7l5t

Ply evening for me | would bear it pa

Next morning when father found
his pet umbrella with the gold knob
gone-the directors presented it to
him for something or other-he had
spasms until | told him that Harold
must have taken it. telephoned Har-
old to return fathers umbrella double
auckland Harold began making the
weirdest excuses. With father Tuning
and Harold shillyshallying over the
phone l nearly lost my mind-and in
the midst of the excitement the UNI
brella arrived by special messenger
with note addressed to me!
The note was from Edith-and she
said she knew that my father must be
anxious about such a valuable umbrel-
la, so she was sending it back at once
it had his name engraved on it, you
know. She said Harold was so forget
fA and that he had left it at her house
the evening before.
Harold came on the gallop when l
phoned him that evening. l held the
umbrella up before him and murmured
that Edith had sent it. He turned pur-
pie. L phoned her this morning. he
gasped miserably, and she declared
that hadn't left it,
you thought you'd get it back here
and I'd never know, didn't you? l de-
manded.
My dear, that man had the audacity
to say that he had gone to Edith's be-
cause she insisted that she was going
abroad for years and would never see
him again, and he couldn't get out of
going to see her. Well, | turned him
of with scorn. Any man who is as
easy as that is not smart enough to
be trusted with my future Fate found
out his duplicity and so we parted.
However, we've got the gold knobbed

GLUTEN FEED TO DAIRY COWS
Good Supplementary Food May Be
ProfitabIy Given in Place of Bean
Meal-Other Good Feeds.

Gluten feed forms a good supple
mentary food for dairy COWS and may
be profitably fed to take the place Of
bean meal in forming the concentrate
ed part Of the ration.
Cows eat gluten feed regularly and
it may be safely given up to seven
pounds a day, though smaller quanti-
ties fed as part of a mixture will prob
ably give the better result.
Bean meal and crushed oats have
fully maintained their past reputation
of being an excellent food for dairy
cows, but the mixture is more ex-
pensive than an equal weight Of
gluten feed.
Sugar beet is an excellent food for
the dairy cows. There is little diff
Guilty at first in getting some animals
to take to it. 1t shows a very marked
effect in stimulating and maintaining
the yield of milk, even when the cows
are advanced in lactation.
Cows fed on sugar beets produce
cream more difficult to churn than
those fed on an equal weight of tur-
nips and the butter is very pale in
color
Gluten feed is the refuse after the
extraction of starch from grain and
may be had in two forms, either as
gluten meal or as gluten feed, the lat
ter consisting of the hull, the gluten
layer and the germ, the hull being alb
sent in the case of gluten meal
The gluten feed is naturally the
lighter fed of the two and may be
fed to the extent of seven pounds or
eight pounds daily. It's feeding COM
position approximates fairly closely to
beans and peas and it keeps well.

NO WESTERN MAN FOR HER
New York stenographer Objects to
Employer Whose Business Day
Begins Before Nine.

A New York Office had advertised
for stenographers, and when the ap.
plicants came they were interviewed
by the assistant manager, who was a
woman. An agreement almost had
been closed with one bright girl whep
the assistant mentioned incidentally
that the proprietor was a western
man. Instantly the fair face of the
applicant clouded "In that case"
she said firmly, Il do not wish the
position. | am working for a western
man now, and that is why l wish to
make change. Why, do you know"
her voice dropped to a low, tragic
tone, as of one who voices hidden
crime-"that man actually gets down
to the office at six o'clock in the
morning, and he expects us to be there
at eight. Worse than that, even when
we are on hand promptly at eight he
acts as if 1t was about the middle of
the day. OF course, it is easy for him,
for it seems he gets up about four
o'clock every morning, works a bit at
home, reaches the office at six and
piles up work for us until eight, so II
really does seem late to him when we
arrive. No more western men for me,
thank you. Any little old New York
man will do for me, for New York
men don't try to begin Office hours be-
fore nine or ten o'clock"

healthy. In many herds in Scotland
are COWS 20 years old, and still good
producers, but the herds which are
fed heavily on grain they do not last
as long, and the oldest COW is not
more than twelve years old. For
the American dairyman, the striking
features of Scotch dairying are the
uniformly good cows kept, the excel
lent care given them, and the atten-
ton paid to feeding them economic
ally on a small amount of grain, new
er wasting concentrates on cows that
are not producing heavily. When we
consider the low efficiency of the aV-
erage cows MIXED in America com
pared with the average Ayrshires
MIXED in Scotland, it is easy to see
the great possibilities yet unattained
by the dairymen of this country.

FEW CLEAN MILK ESSENTIALS
Simple Procedures Are All That Is Re-
CURED to Keep the Dirt Down
to Small Proportions.

"All is not gold that glitters." Not
all white substances are clean. The
cleanest appearing of all foods-virgin
white milk-is the dirtiest of all foods.
One can eat a good deal of dirt with
safety il it has been cooked, but raw
dirt is dangerous. If one can eat
a peck of dirt with safety it must be
cooked dirt.
Dirt gets into milk from the mixers
hands, from the cows udder, from the
swish of the cows tail, from the milk
pals. and milk cans, from the air Of
the stable, and from any faulty hand
ling after it leaves the farmer.
Simple procedures are all that are
necessary to keep the dirt down to
small proportions. They are clean
hands, clean udder, and clean pals
and caps.

was just wasted on her. Edith really
