Jutland and the Sea,

Jutland is one Of the few countries
where political change has been avoid
ed. Denmark has looked after the
Jutes for over 1000 years without
challenge But the sea has refused to
let Jutland alone. Like Holland, it
needs the protection of dikes, and but
for these there would be considerably
less Jutland. Even on the east coast,
with its higher elevation, the sea runs
into many inlets. One Of the longest
Of these, the Lymfiord, was in 1928

ternoon when the company, desiring
to change its methods of manufacture,
asked the girls not to do certain
stitching. A rate adjustment was
made that would give the girls a little
less per piece but would have given
them q. larger number of pieces. They
refused to make the change and their
grievance committee was called. This
committee ruled tht the girls should
try out the system. The girls still re-
fused to work and after reporting to-
day put on their hats. They were or

FRATERNIT1ES CENSURE
MEDICAL EXAMINER FOR
IDENTIFICATION DELAY
Continued from page /

Attorney Stevenson called the at
tention of members of the lodge to the
rule that such resolutions could not
be adopted without the consent of the
grand master. The resolutions were
then rescfnded by the Odd Fellows
lodges. The grand masters perm1se
sion to circulate the resolutions again,
or his sanction for their adoption, was
then sought.
Judge Stevenson, interviewed by a
reporter for The Farmer today. adj
r1itted that action had been sought in
the various lodges of this city but
was under the impression that resoIu-
lions had been tabled in the majority
of lodges here. except Arcanun lodge,
which had sought permission of the
grand lodge to make the matter pub
lie.
stopping Immediate action said
Judge Stevenson, because found
that the action sought was probably
contrary. to rules of the organization.
I do not believe that any action will
be taIRen."
Mr.. Stevenson further stated that
from his, investigation of the incident
he believed that DR.. Garlick was
b1arneIess in the case as it would
probably be found that the delay in
identification was due to delay in
sending the personal effects from the
hospital to the mOrgue Wh6r0 the
body was taken at once after death.
''It was probably day or two be-
fore DR.. Garlick had notice of the
personal effects found upon the vet
Grams body. It was the hospital au-
thorities' duty to notify the relatives
or the deceased of Gi1Tnore's death or
to notify the medical examiner. I be-,

conclusive that MIR. Hill received $3.50

an expert secretary and stenOgrapher,
probably Of an actual market value
greater than $3.50, from the Salts

which will, alone, support this con-
test. And we also claim that the do

conjunction with the surrounding cir

Sidered plan on the part of the COM

important question of public policy
involved in such a marshaIling of cor

Just now, we make an ex-

The stores rule is that goods are sold
only for cash. For the convenience OF
customers, monthly accounts are carried
But the Rowland Sewing machine club is

for their machine in stated sums and
there is an interval Of month between
each Of the payments.

satisfactory to hundreds of folks.
All during the time that a club mem

worth place in your sewing
room.
Rowland machines are efficient. They
do every sort Of home sewing in a way to
satisfy critical women. They are easy to
run-for there are ball-bearings placed
where they reduce friction. They make
almost no noise; partly because of these
same bearings. Metal of standard
quality is used in them. They are built
by skilled and expert work1nen. Back of
each one is an unqualified guarantee OF
service and satisfaction.
But their prices are not as high as
those of other, machines of equal quality.
This is because of the way they are bought
and sold. They come to the store by the
carload direct from the factory. They
are bought for cash and we get all the adj
vantages that a cash-buyer gets from big
manufacturer. We get special price,
too, based on the big quantity we buy.
Then there are no agents commissions
to be paid; no office rent; no extra selling
expenses. 1t is simple straightforward
purchase by the store-for we buy and
sell sewing machines as we buy and sell
silks or cottons or shoes.
