CELEBRATED. 4TH
IN BRITISH PORT

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Stockholm, Sweden, July %
Americans who arrived in Scandi-
navia recently on the steamer Ber-
gensfjord told of a decidedly unique
celebration of the Fourth of July on
board that vessel. On the third of
July, the Bergensfjord, a Norwegian
ship, was captured" by a British
curiser and escorted into Kirkwall
for the customary examination of car
go and passengers. Despite the fact
hat they were to be "captives" over
the Fourth in British harbor the
passengers decided to hold fitting
celebration and to read anew the
Declaration of Independence. All the
neutralsOn board decided to join the
Americans and Captain Irgens, Of the
Bergenfjord. appointed committee
to arrange everything.
The hour set for the ceremonies
was II o'clock the morning of the
fourth. 1t was found at that time,
however, that the British authorities
required the presence of all first class
passengers and the reading of the
Declaration was postponed until 2
o'clock At this hour the ceremonier
were begun anew. America" was
sung, short prayer was offered and
then Captain Irgens arose.

NORWEGIANS ARE
RETURNING HOME

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
Christiania, Norway, July 13.-A
"Home to Norway" movement is
sweeping over Norway at the present
moment. The great emigration of
Norwegians to the United States
which during the past fifty years has
drained the country of young laborers
and girls from the farms has never
made itself felt SO much as in the
last two years while Norway has been
endeavoring to become more and more
self-supporting, and more indepen-
dent of foreign imports. Although
since the outbreak of the war indus
tries have grown in all parts of the
country, this is not enough. Farming
must be raised to a higher standard
and more acreage devoted to the rails
ing Of grain crops.
The Norwegian government is try
ing to assist the progress of farming
by the granting of cheap loans to
farmers and providing them with in
expensive lands for cultivation. AL
though the number of farmers has in
creased recently, difficulties have
arisen owing to the lack of farm
hands, many of whom still prefer to
seek new homes in America, although
wages for farm hands of both sexes
are almost as high here as they are
in the United States and better than
anywhere else in Europe.
The press all over the country is
devoting much attention to this sub
ject and strong efforts are being made
to change the current Of migration
and bring back from America to Nor
way at least some of the farm labor
ers and women engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits who have in recent
times left this country.
The idea of beginning campaign
in America with the object of making
young Norwegians there acquainted
with the promising prospects in their
own country is rapidly spreading. One
society with the title Of New Land
has been in existence some time with
this pupose in view and also for pro-
viding land to be farmed by peasant
youths desiring to start for them
selves. Another scheme has been
started by big industrial man who
needs thousands of men for his water
power enterprises with the view of in
ducing the various industries to APP
point agents in America to hire Nor
wegians there 70 remployment in Nor

$750,000, is to be 20 times that CAPT
tai. This would give each bank $751;
100000 and the whole system $780,
100000 to loan on first mortgages.
Farm loan bonds are to be made
attractive by payment of not more
than five per cent interest and a
provision that they shall be exempt
from federal, state or municipal taxa
ton. They are made legal invest
ments for trust funds. They are not
to be obligations of the United States,
but will have behind them the first
mortgages on farm lands. These mort
cages also are exempt from taxation.
Branch Banks Authorized.
In case local conditions do not favor
organization of farm loan associations
land banks may be authorized by the
farm loan board to make loans to
farmers through agents it approves,
such as banks, trust or mortgage COM
panies, and the law permits establish
ment of joint stock land banks to lend
directly to borrowers on first mort
cages of farm lands. These banks
will be under supervision of the farm
loan board, but will not be assisted by
federal land bank funds as will loan
associations. The stock banks, how
ever, which are to be capitalized at
not less than $250,000 each, also may
issue farm loan bonds, exempt from
taxation and based on first mortgage
securities, to the extent of Is times
their capital stock. These banks are
subject to the same provision of the
law as loan associations, in respect
to interest rates, amortization, etc.
In the beginning the federal land
banks will be governed by directors
appointed by the farm loan board, but
after subscriptions from loan associaa-
lions to any federal land banks CAPT
tai stock, reach 100000. an elective
system will become effective, with
three directors chosen by the board
and six by the loan associations. The
board will approve compensation paid
directors and officers of these banks.
The loan associations will be directed
by unpaid officers except secretary
and treasurer or secretary-treasurer.
Banks and loan associations will be
subject to the customary examination
by persons appointed by the farm
loan board, and the law provides
penalties for infringements of its pro-
visions or counterfeiting of farm loan
bonds.

Act No. 2 Would
Make He'll of State.

1t is the opinion of large number of
prominent lawyers in this section of
the state that if Act No. passes, sa-
looms will be opened all over the state
at once. No license will be necessary
and blind tigers will cease to be blind.
There has never been such vicious
piece of legislation proposed, as under
the operation of this law conditions all
over the state would be worse than
they have ever been at any time.
1t is inconceivable that the good peo-
pie of Arkansas would fail to express
their disapproval of such legislation and
every indication is that the act Will be
defeated by an overwhelming majority.
Every man who is opposed to the
passage of this act should be sure to go
out to the polls and vote against 1t.
Only over confidence can fail to defeat
it. Blythevile Herald News.
