Trade With Scandinavia.

American exports to Holland and to
the Scandinavian nations show a ma
tsrial decrease for the past nine months
as compared with the corresponding
period last year. while the shipments
to the entente powers enormously in
creased. according to the Department OF
Ccmmerce's figures. Norway alone
showed an increase in American i'm
ports.
Denmark's purchases dropped from
sc5.No,0oo to siS.oOO.o 900. and Hollands
from sloi ,OO0,0OO TO S74.OO0,OOO
The increased effectiveness OF the
British blockade Is believed to be re-
sponsible for the decrease in American
experts. The figures for the past nine
months show that the three Scandi-
navian countries are still importing al
most double the quantity Of American
focdstuffs that they were importing be-
fore the British blockade on Germany
was first estabIshed.

creased from $500 100000 to more than

G. N. TRAINMAsrER INSANE.


Minot, N. d., July 14.-Hopelessly
i'll mentally, w. +. Benton, former
trainmaster on the Minot division of
the Great Northern railroad, whose
skull was fractured when he was
struck by snowplow, was taken to
the hospital for the insane at Fergus
Falls. The case of Mr.. Benton, who
has been an inmate of St. Joseph's.
hospital in st. Paul, is a remarkable
one.
The trainmaster was injured at
Rugby, N. D., in February. He was
brought to St. Paul and for eleven
days lay unconscious in the hospital.
Then he began to improve and five
weeks after the accident it was
thought that he was on the road to
recovery. His physicians, DIR. J. A.
Quinn and DR.. Arthur Sweeney tried
to effect a cure by trepanning, but
though he was saved from paralysis
a full cure was not effected. When
his condition was at it's best Mr.. Ben
ton tried to talk but was never able
to construct a logical sentence. De-
generation of the brain tissues set in
and Mr.. Benton was kept alive by
the use of drugs. Now, though he is
fairly strong physically, his physi-
clans have given up all hope of the
return of his reason.

+. !. =: FARM HANDS

WillistOn, July 14-Anticipating q
tremendous demand for farm hands
this year, because of the splendid
prospects for a big crop and the gen
eral labor shortage situation in the
nation, the Williston Commercial club
has inaugurated movement design
ed to aid the farmers Of the north
western section of the state. II
A free employment bureau is the
department through which the Willis
ton club hopes to bring relief to the
farmers, and the fact that haying op-
erations are now under way there,
and that there is even today a de-
mand for farm help, has spurred the
club on to activity. 8e i.
F. S. Morrill,, secretary of the Will
liston club, discussing the plan in a
letter to The Forum, says: Hs,
"The Williston Commercial club
has installed free employment bu-
reaus and is endeavoring to form the
connecting link between the individu-
al seeking, work, either on the farm
or in the city, and the farmer or the
business man who wants to hire help
"The outlook for bumper crop in
this section is SO apparent that we
are starting in early to secure the ne
cessary help to harvest same. Never
has the hay crop been better, and
many men are needed at once to work
in the hay fields. rs. ~
"Also, due to the large number Of
young men having left in answer to
the call to the colors, there are many
vacancies among the business houses
for clerks, bookkeepers, stenograph-
ers, etc. ., ~. s-..a
"YoU can direct applicants to either
write to me or to call upon me in per-
son."
