LIGHTNING STRIKES HOUSE
NEAR ASkOV

During the electrical storm
Monday night the farm home of
Jorgen Jensen's, 5 miles north
east of Askov, was struck by
lightning. No fire resulted, how
ever. The chimney was quite
badly crushed and some of the
walls and floor suffered a little
damage. The rollers under the
bed in which Mrs. Jensen was
lying were knocked off but she
and her husband suffered no
damage whatever, aside from
the shock.
Mr.. Jensen said that the build
ing just literally trembled and
he thought the result would
have been much worse. The
building was insured in the Pine
County Mutual Fire Insurance
Company, so aside from the un-
pleasantness, the loss is practi-
cally nothing to Mr.. Jensen. He
said that he would rather have
that shake-up than not to have
had any rain at all.

d., barely escaped drowning in
Lake Bemidji a few days ago.
Miss Rasmussen had ventured
too far into the water and began
to sink when her cries were
heard by Mr.. Brooks of Mime
apolis, who Immediately swan to

The widely known Norwegian
dentist, dean of the dentistry
department of the University of
Minnesota, DR.. Alfred Ourie, is
at present trying to walk from
Minneapolis to Seattle: At last
accounts he had reached a point

walk ahead of him. DR.. Ourie
and a couple of his friends left
Minneapolis on July Is and have
so far walked about 36 miles
every day. DR.. Ourie is married
to a daughter of the late Danish
author and philanthropist, Jacob
A. Riis.
Last week a Norwegian mis-
sion, headed by the famous arc
tic explorer and statesman, DR..
Fridthiof Nansen, arrived in
this country aboard the Danish
steamer, "Hellig Olav." The
commission Immediately pro-
ceeded to Washington for the
purpose of discussing the vital
question of food embargo with
the United States government
authorities. Extensive espion-
age conspiracies have recently
been exposed in Denmark, Nor
way and Sweden. 1t appears
that the German agents who
were charged with the duty of
obtaining information, hired ma
tives Of the three countries and
made them submit reports in
many secret ways. The espion-
age was centralized at Aarhus,
Christiania and Gothenberg, and
members of the conspiracies
were arrested and taken to the
courts. At the latest report only
the spies in Norway have been
sentenced, and the punishment
meted out to them was redicu-
lously inadequate in proportion
to the serious nature of the
crime. 1t is generally conceded
that a German spy working in a
foreign country may to some ex-
tent be said to be engaged in
legitimate work, but natives of a
certain country who sell informa-
tion enabling a foreign power to
destroy that country's shipping
and to kill it's citizens are to be
judged soley as traitors of the
most abominable kind. 1t seems
that there are a great number of
them in all three Scandinavian
countries, and public opinion has
become dangerously hostile to
these criminally disloyal citi-
zens.

July q, 1917.
We are nine girls located here
at Camp Happiness and altho we
are sunburned and look as if we
came from the Philippines, we
are as happy as can be and enjoy
life immensely. No accidents
have happened, whatsoever. ex-
cept, one girl fell in the water
the first day. That night we
were wholly devoured by "skeet-
ers," "men hvad care vi" We
killed them as fast as we could,
but found out they each have ten
lives so it didn't amount to very
much.
We heard the $50 train COM
ing in and saw the sun getting
up, but when we found "Flaske-
lyset," it was only IL o'clock.
My, but we were disgusted but
tried to console ourselves by eat
ing one of our two midnight
lunches. We got up at 3 o'clock,
however, and when the cook
started to make pancakes, our
milk was sour.
At dinner time our butter was
nothing but "enlig Wand paa
Toppen og Salt paa Bunden," be-
cause the cook had forgotten to
put it in the ice box. We were
also out of bread by this time,
but thanks to our excellent mail
service, we received a new sup
ply accompanied by a freezer
full Of delicious ice cream and
half the population of Askov
(more or less) and some Sand
stonians.
We had a big campfire in the
evening and some Of the boy
scouts, whom we wish to thank
for the wood they supplied, told
ghost stories, much to our
amusement. After the company
had gone we toasted marshmal-
lows.
The water down here is fine;
we know from experience, be-
cause we test it two or three
times a day.
While camping we live on
chicken soup. "spuds," ham and
eggs, jello and fruit.
We want to thank our friends
and neighbors for the food sup
plies and help they have given
us whenever possible.
Have you ever tasted "Eble-
skiver' out camping? They're
fine. Our neighbor brought us
some.
We have had a scrumptious
time and are certainly going
again if our superiors will allow
us. Greetings from,
Camp Happiness.
