Elucidating the manifesto extending
new liberty to Finland, the foreign Of
fee of Russia explains that the aim of
the new government is to abolish COM
pletely all the restrictions which
stripped the grand duchy of the his
torical rights conferred upon 1t in
1872. In that year Finland became
part of the Russian empire. All laws
Illegally imposed upon Finland during
the reigns of Alexander III and Mich
olas II are declared void. Russian
members of the Finnish senate who,
contrary to the constitutional rights
of the country had been appointed by
the imperial government instead of
being elected by the Finnish landtdag,
have been removed and will be re.
placed by Firms chosen according to
law. Full self-government, including
the right to initiate legislation, deter.
mine the revenues and expenditures
of the country and assess taxation will
rest exclusively in the control Of the
Finnish legislative bodies.

Helms on Home Building

"Your Home" is the title of an
attractive illustrated booklet just
published by the Minnesota State
Art Commission, a department of
the state government, and sent to
anyone for four cents in stamps
with elf-addressed envelope. For
the first time, it illustrates and sum-
marizes the new and radical educa-
tional service undertaken by the
Commission to furnish people with
plans for model farm, village, and
urban houses. The Commission was
the leader in this better home build
ing idea, and through the Com
mission, Minnesota was the first
state government to establish such
a service.
The booklet shows many of the
model plans and tells how anyone
who wishes to secure a plan and
build an efficient and artistic house
ranging from $25O0 to $4,000 may
do it through the assistance of the
Commission. It tells how the Com
mission argued long and loud that
IF a state government helps it's
people to prevent hog cholera, raise
alfalfa, eliminate the weeds, that it
might we'll do something for the
small home builder who needs pro-
fessional help and advice and
seldom, if ever, secures it, It is
an educational service and has saved
hundreds of dollars for thousands
of home builders.
The plans were all supplied by the
architectural designers of Minnesota
and came through. competitions helc
by the Commission. They were en-.
dorsed by the Minnesota Chapter
of the American Institute Of
Architects, the manufacturers, the
brick and stone masons unions, ane
others interested in establishing pro
fessional help for the home builder
All the plans are practical and ar
tistic. They are in direct opposition
of the "shoe box type" so frequent
ly built in villages and towns. The.
represent investments when built
and the Commission has had com
petent juries Of architects, contract
ors, housekeepers, and experts il
home management pass upon them
"Your Home" may be had b.
writing the Minnesota State Ar
Commission, 504 Essex Building

cents in stamps and self -addresse

suggestions for farmers, village an

Old Ellen Nilaus Of Balstrup, has
passed away at the age of eighty-two
years. During the latter part of her

Ills to which human flesh is heir. Part
ly by reading. partly by oral informa-
ton, and partly by practical expert
ence she became able to cure many
diseases, and the people gradually
came to look upon her with a GER
tain superstitious reverence. The

the fact that she did not get into trou-

SWEDEN.

The Russian revolution has brought
relief to Sweden, which sincerely
hopes that the new regime in Petro-

an autocratic government ruled In
Russia. The new Russia will not

frontiers, after the present war is
brought to an end, to even think OF
disturbing the peace of its neighbOrs.
It is expected that the Russian revO-
luton will result in a further decrease
of Sweden's sympathies for Germany
and an approach of the former toward
the allies. 1t was Sweden which took
the initiative in the cooperation be-
tween the three Scandinavian coun-
tries in regard to foreign problems Gre

Sweden, the only one of the Scandi-

have many friends in Sweden. The

always been interested in Russia's

a tone of an insulting character which
Germany cannot tolerate. The Nor

that their unbridled press campaign
once before led to diplomatic tension.
A sense of responsibility should have
kept the papers from again singing the

It is probable that the neutrality
markings on Norwegian vessels soon
will be removed. It is pointed out
that these markings, which have been
,painted on the sides of the ships dur.
ing the war, not only do not any long

them an easy prey for submarines.
