NORWAY.

Norway was the worlds third mari
time nation when the war broke out.
England ranked' first, Germany sec.
ond. England still ranks first, but
even the British mercantile marine has
suffered heavily. Germany's mer-
chant shipping has been out of COM
mission since the early days of hos
tilities. Compared with Norway, Amer
icas war boom relatively has been
a small affair. The European strug-
gle has brought more money to
tho United States than to any other
country, but, comparatively, Norway
has been the big gamer The Norwe-
gians are richer to the extent Of $780,
100000 in actual cash thus far. To
properties they already owned there
has been added a value of approx
mately as much more. This is on
basis Of population of 100000. An
addition of $50 per capita to Nor
ways wealth in year and a half has
been felt emphatically. Millionaires
have been created Wholesale Many
of them are millionaires only in kroner
"a krone being about II cents
but a jump from nothing, in 1S
months to a fortune Of $25O,O00 or
$270,000, which has happened in hun
dreds of cases, is not bad. The old
shipping firms have prcfited in actual
millions of dollars. Most of the new
ly made millionaires are clerks in
shipping houses, or officers of ocean
going craft, who were able to COM
mand a little credit and branc.1ed out
in business for themselves.
DR.. Sigurd 1bsen, the son of the
poet, Henrik Ibsen, has sold his cot

until the conditions in Germany per-
nit him to go farther south.
The government has taken meas
ures to restrict the worst form Of
speculation, and the Bank Of Norway
has limited the loans on shipping
stock to normal values. Still, stock
subscriptions are going merrily On,

DENMARK.

War rumblings may disturb Sweden,
bet Denmark is going to keep out of
this war. She wants to keep out, and
both Germany and England want the
same thing. If Denmark fights ~
all, it must be with the allies. She
lost Schleswig-Holsteln to Germany
81 years ago. and has hated the Ger
mans ever since. But Germany could
cross the imaginary lines separating
the two countries and overrun Den
mark within short time. Hence
Denmark Cannot afford to fight On
the other Hard Germany is not anx-
lcus to invade Denmark. The Ger
mans receive considerable quantities
OF supplies through Denmark's neu-
trail ports despite the British block
ade. They realize that England would
blockade these ports if occupied by
Germans. Furthermore, Germany does
not want to increase her war trOu-
blcs by conQuering and making it nee
essary to defend Denmark's long line
against possible landings by the allies.
England gets large stores of food
stuffs from the Danes. If Denmark
entered the war and was occupied by
German troops this source of supply
for the British Isles would be cut
off. 1t is generally understood that
tacit agreement exists by which
Denmark divides her fOOdstuffs be-
tween the Germans and tho English,
without objection by either In view
of this fact, it is cited that no Danish
ship carrying food supplies to Eng
land has ever been torpedoed.
At meeting held in one Of the rigs
dag districts in Denmark, the Danish
premier, Mr.. Fable, spoke of the gen.
eral conditions of the country brought
about by the war. In this connection
he mentioned the pleasant and cor
dial relations established between
Denmark and Iceland through the au-
tOnomy granted the island by the
Danish government last year. He ex-
pressed the hope that the good will
toward the island manifested through
this action would lay the foundation
for a permanent good feeling between
the two peoples. He remarked that
the war had brought the three Scan
dinavian nations closer together. Den
mark favors a strong cooperation and
neighborly feelings toward Norway
and Sweden. 1--WE Danes have no
reason to believe anything else but
chat the friendly neighborly feeling is
growing in all three Countries

STOCKING LORE WORTH NOTE
Proper Fit, and Other Details, Are
Seldom Given the Attention That
They Deserve.

Now that black dyes are scarce,
women throughout the country have
been urged to wear white or light
colored stockings. We have been
warned several times Of the dearth
of dyes for black stockings, but ap-
parently the supply of black stockings
is good and the dye seems to be as
good as ever. Probably later in the
season we shall feel more acutely the
effects of the dye famine.
Really there is wisdom in wearing
white or light-colored stockings, apart
from the reason of the dye scarcity.
Now that shoes are worn extra high
one can wear white or light stockings
without having them show, and, in
fact, so familiar have stockings other
than black become to most folk that
there is no reason that we shouldn't
wear them, anyway. Light stockings,
especially white, wear better, on &C
count of the absence of the chemicals
Of the dye. Besides, white stockings
can be washed cleaner If you must
wear the cheaper sort of stockings
there is no comparison between the
cheap black stocking and a white
stocking at the same price. The white
one at the price is both more durable
and feels better to the skin.
Few persons realize how important
it is to see that stockings fit perfectly.
1t is, in fact, as important as to see
that shoes fit we'll, for chiropodists say
that many foot Ills result from stock

MARKETING OUR COTTON.


DLANTtRS of Oklahoma long have hoped for l5-cent
cotton. glance at the market quotations shows that
lScent cotton spot in places and future others
not dream but thing OF substance which means riches
for the Oklahoma cotton grower.
Much Oklahoma cotton is finding its way to market
At the Juicy price offered But many planters are no,
rushing to the gin with all of their crop They learned
In years gone by that rushing the market often
placed them at the mercy of buyers.
Usually the cotton grower is forced TO sell his crop
fast it be picked This makes IT possible to clean
up the floating debts which every planter expert
and is distinct aid to business in cotton commu-
mites.
But with substantial prices prevailing for nearly every
thing that the Oklahoma farmer raises it will not he nee
essary for the planter hurry market with his cotton
The fact that many cotton growers in position 10
hold part OF their cotton will have decided bearing on
the market To sell portion OF this years cotton crop
and hold portion will tend steady the market in this
state and other states we'll
The Oklahoma planter TO have reached stage
where he have something say about the price OF hi,
cotton, and not be at the mercy of the buyer,
