Interesting Items From Far
and Near About People
From the North.

From the North.
Otto Janson, a son of the wide
ly known Swedish manufacturer,
Gustaf Janson, who is the pro-
prietor of the yanson Iron Works
in Oakland, CAL, has been found
guilty of sedition:he was charged
with having made attempts to
create mutiny in the United
States army.
According to reports received
last week from Chicago, nearly
five thousand young Danes and
Danish-Americans of that city
have enlisted or been drafted in
to the army and navy of the
United States. Similar statistics
evidently have not been collected
for soldiers of other nationalities.
Lars J. Siljan, editor of the
Norwegian Grand Forks, N. D.,
paper, Normanden, returned last
week from a seven months jour
ney to Norway. Among the in
teresting observations he made
was the fact that the Stars and
Stripes is seen in thousands of
windows throuout Norway be-
cause sons or other near relatives
of Norwegians at home are fight
ing under the American flag.
A Swedish dining room clock,
manufactured in the year 1923,
has been donated to the Red
Cross by Mr.. and Mrs. A. Swan
beck at Lamberton, Mimi. The
much treasured clock has been
owned in the same family from
generation to generation so its
being given to the Red Cross
calls forth much admiration of
the willingness of it's latest own
ers to sacrifice for the sake of
the United States an article
whose intrinsic value is very con-
siderable, and whose sentimental
value is still greater.
Anders P. Fischer, a Danish
carpenter who arrived in this
country only about ten years ago,
has made a fortune in New Or
leans, where he now is one of the
directors of the Louisiana First
National bank. Mr.. Fischer last
week gave the last of his five
sons to America; three are in
France, one is in a southern
training camp in this country,
and the fifth has just entered the
engineering corps of the army.
DR.. Andrew Fossum has just
published a new work. "The
Morse Discovery of America
which throws new light on the
interesting question of Scandi-
navian frst-discovery of the
western hemisphere. All the
previous theories are discussed,
and some new ones advanced in
the instructive work.

can, who formerly was CONNER
cial district chief for the West

ha, has been appointed to a SINH.

taken up his duties with head.

DIR. Maurice Francis Egan, for
eleven years United States min
lister to Denmark, has resigned
because of i'll health. Without a
doubt DR.. Egan was the most
widely popular minister ever
sent to Denmark from this coun-
try, and his resignation is. Ger

CONSERVE WHEAT FLOUR

The food administration has
sent out a lot of circulars lately
regarding wheat flour and it can
hardly be expected of our edi-
tors to print all Of them, so
am going to briefly explain the
contents in a few sentences.
Our supply of wheat is getting
so small that crisis before next
harvest is feared. Therefore
they are urging all strong and
healthy people to cut down the
consumption of wheat or better
still eliminate it from the diet
entirely.
Our soldiers must have cer-
tain amount of wheat. We must
help the suffering millions in
the allied countries and our
children and invalids need wheat
flour.
So let us do our bit in Askov
and vicinity by cutting down the
use of wheat all we can by our
own free will.

sentative of the American gov
ernment. DR.. Egan is now in
this country, and his resignation
was quite unexpected.
The question as to whether the
adjective, Norwegian" is to be
eliminated from the official name
of the Norwegian Lutheran
church of America was discussed
at the convention of the church
at Fargo, last week. 1t was de-
cided to postpone decision until
a year hence. One strong advo-
cate of the retention of the dis
tinctive national name said when
discussing the plan: "Of all sill
ly and needless things l have
heard of in my life, this is not
only the silliest, but the very
silliest and the most useless"
A regrettable mistake was
made the other day by Charles
Carlson, a Swede who lives in
Denver, Colo. Believing that a
burglar was entering the house,
when his daughter unexpectedly
returned from a walk, he shot in
her direction and wounded her
very seriously. Doubts were en-
tertained as to her recovery.
The Jacob A. Riis League of
Patriotic Service, a national Dan
ish-American organization formed
last month. has now opened head
quarters in Room 1908, 405 Mon
roe ST., Chicago. Andrew Dahl
strom of Racine, Wis, formerly
supreme president of the United
Danish Societies of America, has
been appointed assistant Secre-
tary of the league.
The Madison, Wis.,, Democrat
says that Otto Brictson, a Nor
wegian, has proven that he is
10O% American. Mr.. Brictson
who lives at Deerfield, Wis.,, has
for some years been. manager of
his family's one million acres
property in Mexico, but travelled
$50 miles to the nearest Ameri-
can consulate for the purpose of
registering, and later on travelled
thousands of miles to secure wit
nesses for his. QUESTIONABLE. 1t
is said that the procedure in his
case was unnecessary, but that
he wanted to avail himself of
the opportunity to prove his de-
votion to the United States.

the farm labor proposition. The
passage of the Order is the la
test and most popular of a long
series of plans that have had
their inception as we'll as prac-
tical application with the Public
Safety Commission.
The Order provides that every
male person above 16 years of
age must be employed or give
good and sufficient excuse for
his idleness. 1t is not expected
that professional loafers are good
material for farm hands, yet If
they were employed in some ca
pacity it will release labor more
desirable for the use Of the farm
er who wants first class help.
Especially important is this
Order at this time when every
ounce of available man power
must be conserved and employed
in order to assist in the produc-
tion of food and all other arti-
cles essential for war purposes.
The Order goes further than a
similar federal order. known as
the Work or Fight" ruling, as
it makes the age limit Is years
and makes it obligatory upon the
sheriff of the county to enforce
its provisions, in cooperation
with all peace, municipal and
special peace officers.
While many of the orders of
the Commission as war measures
have been about as popular as
war itself, Order No. 81 is popu.
lar with everybody except the
shirker and loafer and the farm
er will feel that he has a staunch
and true friend in the Commits
sion in the solution of all prob.
lens that effect him materially
in the conduct Of his business.

w. s. S. SPELLS PROGRESS

ANY effort that if effective
along the line of inducing the
American people to adopt thrift
as habit, is one of the most val
liable contributions to national
progress that can be made. Eve
ry man, woman and child has an
opportunity to directly help the
Government by buying thrift and
war savings stamps. Not only
does this help the Government
in the most valuable way, but it
encourages habits of economy
and saving, which are the very
foundation Of Individual success
and prosperity.
Il wish you all success and
look forward to the day when
every member Of the population
of this great state is q saver and
the owner of war savings certi-
ficates with no blank spaces left
