when the Scandinavian sea rovers
discovered Iceland about the middle
of the ninth century. they found a
small colony of Irish Culdees in pos
session. During the succeeding cen
fury and a half there was a strong
wave of immigration to the bleak is
land. and in addition to the Morse
mobiles and the vikings there came
Queen Aud, widow of Olaf the White,
king of Dublin, and numerous follow
ers. Trade with the island underwent
many cycles in succeeding centuries,

that their vessel was one of the few
to arrive in this country from that
land since the days of Left and Lucky,
and not to any high expectations OF
trade possibilities, for Iceland with
its more than 100000 square miles
and a scant population of scarcely
more than two persons to the mile,
sends most OF its meager exports,
valued at 100000 900 year, to Den
mark and also buys most of its So
100000 imports from that mother
country.
"The fact that Iceland is so seldom
visited by tourists and is almost a
terra incognito' to American traders
has caused false impression to OBJ
tain in this country concerning its
sombre but on the whole highly in
telligent people. Indeed, 1t has been
estimated that in PROPORTION to It's
population more books and papers are
printed and read in this partly frozen
island than in any country of CONT
mental Europe.

Drummond was half a century ahead

impossibility of any line between the

when we see how in the affairs Of
this progressive twentieth century,
the two inter mingle so much.
Ardmorc will rejoice that in the
proposed activities of the Chamber
of Commerce, that it has kept alert
TO something other than promoting
dollars and cents. The happiness this
move will bring to two hundred or

measured by dollars and cents, but

MORE BUILD
|NGSAT THE
FAIR GROUNDS
THE COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
MET YESTERDAY AND DECIDED
THAT MORE BUILDINGS ARE
NECESSARY.

Ardmore is asked to provide more
buildings for the county fair this fall
by the County Fair Association which
met in regular session at the court
house yesterday.
The association is composed of men
elected by the people in every town
ship in the state and under the law
no county funds can be used for the
erection of any buildings which must
be furnished by the city in which the
fair is held
There was a full attendance yester-
day and every member reported that
scores of farmers regretted that they
did not have exhibits at the last fair
and would be here next year with
stock and agricultural exhibits. That
the buildings erected last year are
inadequate is fully realized by all
who attended the fair, and an effort
will be made to meet the request of
the fair association this year.
\ sweepstake prize of a short course
to the saltwater \. 4 NJ College
is to be offered the boys club, and
some boy is going to get his expenses
paid by the county next fall.
The premium book will be issued
early in the year. Felix X. West
WAS elected to GU tho vacancy caused
by the retirement OF J. NJ. Baird. and
will be on the board of directors oe
the fair association.
The meeting adjourned and the as
sociation will meet again in sixty days
to complete plans for the next fair,
which they say will be better and
greater than any in the state aside
from the state fair

Sore corns, hard corns. soft corns

Il is claimed that at small cost one

freezone at any drug store, which is
sufficient to rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the Danger Of infection.

CHICAGO CHIEF QUITS
Says He Performed His Duties With
"Scrupulous Honesty"

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Charles c. Healy.
chief of police, awaiting trial on
charge of permitting the operation
Of vicious resorts, tonight sent to
Mayor Thompson his resignation
which is effective Jan. l. 1917. The
resignation followed statements by
the chief that he would resign only
at the direct request of the mayor
Chief Healy wrote the mayor:
81 am surrendering the office with
full consciousness of having perform
ed its duties with scrupulous hon
esty."
The chief expressed the hope that
he would be restored TO his former
position as head of the traffic squad.
The incident against Chief Healy is
considered in some quarters here as
a direct result of the difference be
tween Mayor Thompson. republi-
can, and Maclay Hoyne democratic
states attorney.
Some politicians interpreted Healy's
resignation as indicating the differ
ences between the mayor and the
states attorney would be settled am
icably and that the indictments against
Healy would be quashed.
