c. e. eredeson, the Deputy Clerk ot
the United States Court, Grew
Reminiscent
From MONDAYS Dany.

From Mondays Dany.
G. E. Bredeson. deputy clerk of the
United States district court. was
speaking i'm a reminiscent mood today
Of conditions i'm Norway and Sweden
and especially of his aged grandfather
in the city of Christiania. He has re-
ceived a recent picture Of the old
gentleman and could not help express
iEg his appreciation Of the fact that
conditions are so normal in the pen
insula In general as to make his
grandfather feel an assurance that no
great harm will be done his country
by the war.
MY grandfather has written to
me many times" said Mr.. Bredeser.
He Is stern and hale old man a
hundred and three years old. having
been born February 25, 1912. His
wife died seven years ago at the age
Of ninetyfour years. and their mar
ried life lasted nearly seventy six
years. He enjoys writing to his
kindred, many of whom are in the
third and fourth generation. He loves
America and says that Sweden and
Norway are so well protected by
nature and so well prepared by the
best trained men in Europe that an
invasion by foreign power would be
an impossibility."
Mr.. Bredeson says that his grand =
father Criticises socialism severely,
but that what is most refreshing Is
the genuine and constant fear of the
Lord co observable to anyone I'm these
aged men who have lived as they
ought. Once" said Mr.. Bredeson.
my grandfather sent me some works
OF lbsen together with an additional
very worn book bearing the signature
OF his father and dated Uppsala
University 1906. This book is a
very old catechism containing ex-
haustive references and much more
printed matter than our ordinary cate
chism. and the dear old man told me
to momorize it and tell him when

not be made over them. On their
way out the tourists stopped at Ma

following what is known as the Red
Ball. trail to Cedar Rapids. and from
Cedar Rapids took the Lincoln trail
to Chicago. The Lincoln trail can be
travelled straight across the country
and is an excellent highway. From
Chicago to New York the blue

was found invaluable. as one using Il

Five Days In Chicago.
The Mankato party spent five days
in Chicago. where Mr. Szamet visited
the markets i'm the interests of the
Bee Hive store. and they also spent a
day at tile beautiful Niagara Falls
They arrived in New York about July
22. and spent several days in the city.
Mr.. Szamet selected considerable
fall and winter stock. coats, suits. and
dresses, and in his talks with the
merchants found them all dissatisfied
with business cnnditions. most of the
eastern men expressing the opinion
that the merchanta Of the western
states were enjoying better trade
than those of the east and were
muck better off i'm all ways, in which
opinion the tourists heartily agreed.
On the return trip the tourists passed
through the Blue Ridge Mountains
in Virginia, and visited the nations
capital. Washington. ID. c. They were
impressed by the number OF large
hotels, beautiful parks and driveways.
and many spots OF interest I'm the
capital. and were shown around by
guides. They visited the National
cemetery i'm Virginia Just across the
Potomac. and saw the home of Robert
E. Lee. which is now a mecca for
sightseers, and also visited many
other historical places. Every milo
and minute of the trip was thoroughly
enjoyed. and the tourists were in fine
health throughout the journey.
Farmers in East Lazy.
Farmers seem so lazy I'm the east"
said Mr.. Szamet. This Is very no
ticeable In the tumble down old hOus-
es I'm which they live, r'hich would
not make good barn frr a western
farmer. This is esreci"'Iy true in In
diana. which seemed a very back
ward state to So. There are no
farms out east like we have here in

to date buildings and latest modern
conveniences. Why. where we stop

was regular palace. with well culti-
waited land and fine crops surrounding
