Child War Victims
Receive Aid.

Nearly twenty-five thousand
children in France are receiving
aid from the American Red Cross
at the present time, according to
recent cable advice from Paris.
Seven hundred children are re-
ceiving complete medical care at
the hands of American Red Cross
doctors. and 5000 are being
treated at the medical dispen-
saries of the American relief
society. In addition, there are
10000 orphans and other chill
dren in France who are being
aided by the Red Cross, directly
or indirectly.
The American Red Cross is
also aiding 5000 Belgian children
of whom it has 1000 in complete
charge. Hospitals and other
shelters for orphans and children
from the ruined areas are main
tanned as an important activity
of the American Red Cross
abroad. Children who have long
gone unwashed, many of them
infected and seriously i'll, receive
tender and intelligent care. Not
only as a work of mercy, but
because it helps insure the well
fare of the coming generation,
this child welfare work of the
American Red Cross is regarded
as of immense value.

more than enough to insure the
county appropriation of $1,000,
only 200 members being re-
quired. ]. w. Duvall of Pine
City, was determined to make a
fight against the county agent
proposition even after the thing
was assured and settled, "holler-
ingS both in and out Of order.
Just to show his line of argu-
ment the following is suffice:
Mr.. Duvall was arguing that 80
per cent of the members had to
be farmers, which is very true.
A little later Mr.. Miller re-
marked that 80 members were
secured in one community. Up
jumps Duvall and said he was
sure so per cent of those were
business men. H. Petersen of
[Askov, from where the 80 men,
bers were secured, was present
and remarked that if over Is of
the 80 were business men he
would pay their membership fee.
z. L. Wheeler of Pine City, a man
of judgement, made a good talk
in favor of the county agent pro-
position.
The commissioners voted to ap,
propriate $500 to the Pine Coun-
ty Fair this year. There was
also considerable routine bust.

War Efficiency County Meeting
Mt Hinckley Monday.


I'm connection with, or imme-
diately after the County Agent
meeting at Hinckley, Monday,
Jan. ID, there will be a meeting
for the reorganization of the
Liberty Loan Committee and
other war needs, the meeting be-
ing called by County Chairman
Of the Public Safety Commission
F. R. Duxbury.
It is the purpose to select a
committee of seven members to
act as a war board which will di-
rect and pass on work by the
Liberty Loan Committee, the
Pine County Public Safety Com
mission, all Red Cross work, and
in fact all war activities in the
county. This is a plan that has
been proposed, and will most
likely be carried out thruout the
state. The object is to prevent
duplication of work and have
one permanent central commit
tee to pass on all war activities
within the county. thus making
it unnecessary to appoint so
many committees.

assertions, however, has not sue
cessfully been disputed.
The three Scandinavian gov
ernments have cabled express
sions of gratitude to the Ameri.
can government because the en-
barge against exports to the
north has been temporarily
raised. This does not mean that
exports in a general way were
permitted, but merely that the
United States permitted the
transportation of certain very
sorely needed commodities. "A
survey of the cabled press re-
views of Scandinavia indicates
that most of the newspapers
agree that 1917 was the most
critical year in the northern
kingdoms. While the situation
is still pregnant with disasters,
it is felt that prospects are con-
siderably brighter than a year
ago. The various rumors of
peace negotiations, on hand or in
sight, appear to cause some joy
in the north where it is realized
that the war is just as merciless
to those who stay on the outside
as to those who participate ac-
lively in the conflict. The three
governments have warned their
peoples that 1918 also will call
for much patience and suffering,
but that it can all be borne with
ortitude if only the nations will
realize the necessity of keeping
cool and stay levelheaded.

Rev. Adser Ostergaard, pastor
of the Danish Lutheran church
in Muskegon, Mich, died about
two weeks ago. He was only "a
years old and had been in Ameri-
ca since 1915. Mr.. Ostergaard
was a graduate of the Copenha-
gen university.
Mr.. and Mrs. C. G. Bergstrom
in New York celebrated their
silver wedding last week in the
presence of a large number of
their Swdish friends. Nearly all
the members of the Scandinavia
an Observation-Disclosures par
ticipated in the festivities, and
numerous kilograms were re-
ceived from both sides of the
Atlantic.
The Nordisk Tidende in Brook
lyn has compiled statistics which
indicate that there are thirty
three thousand Norwegians in
Greater New York; this includes
the generation born in America
of Norwegian parentage. Of the
Norwegian population, nearly
$4,000 live in Brooklyn, chiefly
in the Bay ridge and Bath Beach
section of that borough.
From Petersburg, Alaska,
comes word that P. N. Nielsen,
a Dane, AZ years old, was fatally
injured while attempting to save
the life of a young woman who
was trying to rescue some of her
property which was threatened
by a fire. Nielsen jumped right
into the blaze, and at that mo-
mert an oil stove in the room ex-
ploded whereby Nielsen was SO
severely injured that he died
shortly afterward.
DR.. Johannes Hoving, a promi-
nent Swedish-Finnish physician
in New York, has published in
book form series of medical es-
says and treatises written from
time to time for Swedish-Ameri-
can newspapers. While the sub
jects dealt with are naturally OF
scientific interest and nature
the treatment is so popular that
the layman unversed in the in
tricacies of medical lore, is in q
position to reap benefit from the
book.
Henry l. Linde, former attor.
ney general of North Dakota
died last week in a Minneapolis
hospital, where he had gone from
his home in Fargo, N. D., for
the purpose of submitting to an
operation. Mr.. Linde was born
in North Dakota of Norwegian
parentage and had been inter
ested in public matters for a
number Of years. In politics he
was staunch Republican, but
had numerous friends in other
political camps. He would have
been Al years old had he lived
one day longer.
On January 3rd, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederik Gottlieb Willumsen in
New York celebrated their gold
en- wedding. Both are IS years
old and natives of Denmark.
Many years ago Mr.. Willumsen
was one of the leading architects
and contractors in Copenhagen,
but when the great crisis ar
rived in the Danish building
trades in the eighties, Mr.. Will
lumsen was one of those who
was financially ruined. Some
wears later he and Mrs. Willum-

One township has reported over
80 subscribing members;-17
townships have none reported
yet. 1t seems as tho the situation
is not well understood in some
localities, and in others it is
misrepresented. In some To-
calities the opposition is with
drawn after the real facts have
been explained. One farmer
wrote me few days ago, Il
don't believe in feeding an agent

farm" | heartily agree in that
statement if that was the true
fact; we. don't want boss but
we want to employ an efficient

how and is willing and able to
help us organize and cunduct

operative basis as the directors
and advisory council of the Pine
County Farm Bureau might
agree on, with the representa-
tives Of the Federal government.
The manager of this work is
called county agent. The associ-
alton will pay him a reasonable
salary for the work and will
need about an equal amount to
pay expenses connected with
this work. The federal govern
ment contributes $1,000, the
county $1,000; and the more
members we can enlist to do
their bit the better we can per-
form the governments require
ments in production, conserva-
tion and distribution of our farm
products to meet the great crisis
ahead. We are required to have
at least one person in each
township as member of an ad-
visory council with the execu-
tive committee and the county
agent to report what is wanted
in his locality and to help ar
range for meetings and demon
strations in his locality. Each
active agricultural society and
farmers club is entitled to nomi-
nate a m@mber of this advisory
council,
The primary purpose Of i
Farm Bureau is to bring to the
agricultural agent the counsel
and advice Of the best farmers
in the county as to what ought
to be done and how to do it, and
to provide an organization for
easily and quickly reaching every
community in the county with
information Of value to that
community or to the county q
a whole.

The Norwegian author, Viii
helm Krag, has recently stirred
up a hornets nest. among his
csuntrymen in America by writ

the Norwegian American. The
article originally appeared in a
widely circulated Christiania
daily and was reprinted in num-
erous papers thruout the United
States. Mr.. Krag did not exactly
hand bouquets to his compatriots
ON the contrary, he took occa-
sion to criticise their lack of
manners, their insufficient pol
ish, their tendency to speak Eng
lish where Norwegian would be
more becoming to them, etc.
Most of the Norwegian papers in
this country have since contain
ed indignant replies in which

on which was written: This is
