Iceland is situated in the Atlantic Ocean so far north that no ocean liner has ever run into it in a fog. It is one of the coldest and most isolated of civ ilized lands and one of the happiest, be- cauSe no government has ever consid cred it worth attacking with a fleet and army.
 Iceland is about 250 miles east of Greenland and 500 miles west of Nor way. Hundreds of years before North America was discovered the fierce Vi- kings landed on Iceland occasionally and it has been settled with Europeans
 for many centuries. It is 300 miles long and 200 miles broad and has 75,- 999 habitants and no moving picture theaters bill boards, oy-rders, trutss,
 aldermen or automatic pianos. Because of these facts Icelanders live very con- tentedly and very rarely emigrate to
 warmer countries.
 Iceland is about as far north as Nome and in the northern part the sun dosent set for a week at a time in midsummer But it has the finest warm water heating system in the world being in the middle of a branch of the Gulf Stream. This keeps Iceland from freezing solid in the winter, but also keeps it so fOEgy and damp in the summer that a corn crop wouldn't ripen in three years, and an implement salesman would starve. for there are no farmers on the island. Hay is the only crop made, but sheep. ponies, cider ducks and reindeer are raised and the Icelanders catch enough fish in the summer to keep them supplied with fish balls all winter
 The Icelandeks belong to Denmark, but speak the purest Norwegian left in circulation and govern themselves so successfully by means of an "Althing'' that they have never had a scandal This country should at once dispatch commission to Iceland to examine "Althing" and bring a shipload of them here, if possible.
 Iceland exports wool, stockings, fish. horses, cider down and moss It has a telegraph cable to Europe and since the war ship line to the United States Those Americans who cannot get along happily on s5D0.000 a year should make a short excursion to Iceland and exam inc it's inhabitants with great care

 The trouble with Hiram H. Hazy
 whose prospect of riches is slim. is that he is painfully lazy. and work is a nightmare to him. He sees the procession of winners. with prizes and medals benight, and he, most de- jected of sinners, remarks that his luck is a fright. He sits in the shade and discourses of war, and such topics, all day, and keeps up his spiel till he hoarse is, while others are harvesting hay. He talks of the needs of our navy, and proves that our army is punk. while neighbors are hustling like gravy, and earning the shimmering plunk. And so while the others are drilling around in a praiseworthy cause, he sits by the postoffice killing the time with iank pair of jaws.
