caused much anxiety here. At
the time of the disaster the L.

in the hardware store and their
daughter, Elna, at the picture
show, just at the very time the
business district Of the village
was laid in ruins. The elder
Pedersens were at that time Wis
iting in a private home a few
blocks distant from the heart of
the disaster. None Of them were
injured. D. j. Adolphsen. anoth-
er Askov citizen, is also in Tyler
and has been there for some time
assisting relatives with farm
work. He also escaped injury.
Thirty-one people were killed
and many injured in the lorna.

to over $1,OOO.O0O. Military
authorities took possession Of the
village for several days and aid
was rushed in from all the neigh
boring towns. An outdoor fun
eral was held Saturday for % of
the victims, Rev. Knudsen off,

ministers. It is an awful hard
blow to the citizens Of the little
village.
The business men are deter
mined that Tyler will build big,
ger and better than ever. Al
ready temporary structures are

Norway Dissatisfied.
Owing to the fact that the
German government persists in
harrassing Norwegian shipping
with constant attacks by subma-
rines. the Christiania govern
ment has again dispatched a
strong note of protest to Berlin
with whose attitude Norway is
disgusted. Dissatisfaction with
the Acknowledgements trade
agreement is also evident in dis
patches and newspapers coming
from Norway, where it is thought
that the United States has asked
every possible concession with
out binding itself to furnish spe-
cited quantities of goods badly
needed by the Norwegians. The
upshot of it is that Norway finds
it more and more hazardous
business to continue her neu-
trality, but there is no indication
whatsoever that she intends to
recede from this sensible policy.

Get Rid of Kitchin!
(From the New York SUM

NnIOLu the new YORK SUM
This republic was borne out of the
noble and victorious travail against
taxation without representation. To-
day it's more than 100, OOO, 900 popu-
lation, helpless under the legislative
rule of the Solid South, is se~ctionally
taxed billions and billions of dollars
a e Yet the right of the 100, 000,-
600 to representation is denied by
the President of the United States.
Kitchin of Scotland Neck, North
Carolina, makes the revenue sched-
ules so that the taxes shall fall north
of Mason and DiXon's line. Kitchin
of Scotland Neck, North Carolina,
takes toll of everybody and every
thing north of Mason and Dixon's
line to the limit. Kitchin, of Scot
land Neck, North Carolina, hunts
prosperity and enterprise and bust
ness north of Mason and Dixon's
line as if they were wild game.
Kitchin is of the Solid South OIL
garchy, representing IS per cent. of
the enfranchised population of the
whole country, which makes spoils
of the savings and the earnings of
the other 81 per cent. of the coun-
try. The average vote of the elected
Representative in the South four
years ago was ASA. The average
vote of the elected Representative in
the North -four years ago was 3d.
374. But the Solid South is supreme
in our legislative government.
The only way the 81 per cent. can
regain its right of taxation with rep
resentation is to throw Kitchin out
of the craftsmanship of the Ways
and Means Committee and the Solid
South out of it's possession of the
House of Representatives. Every
voter in the United States can vote,
in his own district, against this tax
alton without representation by vot-
ing for the Republican nominee for
the House of Representatives. BY
voting for the Republican nominee
in his district every voter in the
United States car vote to throw
Kitshin out. He can vote to throw
the Solid South out.
Get rid of Kitchin! Get rid of
Mr.. Wilson's Congress-! Get rid of
taxation without representation!
