Troubles ofFarmers in Norpay.

The United States Consul at Bergen,
Norway. has found the scarcity of
farm laborers throughout the Bergen
district to be of such Importance that
he has written voluninOusly to the
State Department at Washington de-
scribing the depressing affects upon
agriculture aud farming in general
He says that it is with the utmost diff
ficulty that the farmers are able to
properly garner their crops. much less
to make necessary improvements and
undertake extensions He gives little
attention to the mater of immigration
to the United States. where the Scan.
dinavian races are in some localities,
represented IN large numbers. but he
attributes the cause prln ipaly to fish
ing. In Norway, the motor boat and
the purse net have revolutionized fish
ing and made it extremely profitable -
whereas the fishing industry in former
years provided only scant living. The
growth of the fish canning industry has
increased the demand for raw material
to such an extent that those engaged
therein find profitable employment
throughout fhe year. Thus the Consul
makes clear the reasons why one finds
so many Norwegian sardines piled high
upon grocers shelves. In Norway the
farmers have suffered great economic
losses. and one is inclined to the belief,
after reading Consul Rasmussen 5 state
ment, that Norway needs a good deal
of the same sort of agitation that has
been going on in this country concern.

The Thieves Of India


United States Consul Henry d. Bak
er has told the State Department of an
experiment of great interest, illustrat-
ing the cooperation Of the police de-
partment with the Salvation Army, in
teaching honest work to the so-calIed
criminal tribes These tribes comprise
ABOUT three million people, most of
them nomadic in their habits. Many
have now settled down and no longer
engage actively in crime, but large
number still practice stealing as their
chief means of livelihood and teach
their children to steal even in infancy.
Mr.. Baker says that the Salvation
Army has over three thousand of these
men women and children, representing
twelve tribes, at its twenty settle
ments, its industrial schools, and Its
three cbildrens industrial homes, and
it is expected during the next few
months that as many more will be
turned over to the army by police au1
thorites of India. They are being
taught to earn their living by working
in diaries. weaving, silk Keeling, poul-
try raising, washing clothes, etc.
Sometimes, antagonistic at first, they
are usually so pleased, after a period
of residence, with their environment.

veilance that they urge others to Join
them. The people are separated accord,

to society. they are released, and some
have already made good workers in
outside industries. The manufacturing
interests at Gawnpore, which have
been suffering from scarcity OF SUIT
able labor. have recently employed
some of this labor under Salvation Ar
my auspices.
The cooperation between the police
and the Salvation Army is made pos
sible Dy special act providing that
the police authorities may have the
power to remove and locate any tribe
or part of a tribe known to be lawless.
The settlements have been established

CAUGHT BY A POSTAL TRAP.
The "Twopenny Detective" Is Often
Employed In England.

Detectives, lawyers clerks and 9th
ers often experience great difficulty in
obtaining an undoubted specimen Of
a certain persons signature In one
case recourse had to be had to a mar
rage register. In another the only
signature prOcurable was on the fly
leaf of book which the suspect had
presented to a relative, and only two
or three years ago testimonial to a
sea captain was brought into court,
because among the signatures to it
was one for which the police had long
hunted In vain.
One of the most common eXpedients
resorted to for overcoming this diff
Guilty is employing the "twopenny de
tectiye''-that is. sending a registered
letter to the person whose signature
is wanted. And this Is frequently
successful. Thinking the postal packet
contains money or valuables. the ad-
dressee unsuspectingIy signs the re-
ceipt only to discover that inside the
envelope there is nothing but fax
ed" letter.
This trap once caught an anonymous

declared that she could not write, and
whose friends believed her to be u
