Minneapolis, MINI, April 2s.-Sev
erai Minneapolis grainmen have gone
to New York city for a conference
relative to trading in futures and
other grain problems The meeting
was called at the request Of Julius
Barnes, head Of the Food Admlnis-
tration Grain corporation.
+. G. Van Dusen, Ii. r. Benson q.
f. Eve, J. II. Mcmillan and G. "A.
Magnuson, president OF the Min
neapolis Chamber Of Commerce. are
included in the Minneapolis party.
The government has called the
conference to go over the whole
grain situation" said John q. Nc
Hugh, secretary Of the chamber.
The grain men believe that the ma
chinery for handling the grain crops,
built up in the last 80 years, should
be preserved for the good Of the
public.
The trading in futures gets the
grain to the Terminals and aids In
proper distribution as no other
means can. A limited speculative
trading may be permitted in view of
the larger acreage this year, but the
government and the grain men viii
decide what is best,
1T is more a matter Of preserving
the machinery, keeping the country
elevators open and serving the peO-
pie. than it is for anyone to make
money"
Washington Geographic adviees
received within the past "a hours In
dictate that at the New York city
conference, Mr.. Hoover win make q
statement regarding the whole dues-
ton Of grain futures during the war.
From sources close to the food adj

been stated that there Is little or no
likelihood Of speculative grain trad
ing being permitted again during the
war.

ICELAND PROUD OF CULTURE
Little Nation, Long Isolated From the
Rest Of the World, Has Maintained
Its Spiritual Life.

There are few nations that can
point to brighter record of culture
than this little nation of one hundred
thousand people Uceland), practically
isolated on their arctic island for
nearly one thousand years. Why did
they not revert to barbarism, as has
been the fate Of many white groups
out of touch with outside civilization?
There is but one answer: The Prone
thean flame which kindled the genius
Of the old, now nameless, monks-the
saga authOrs-has never died in Ice
land. 1t could not die so long as the
sagas lived, firing the spiritual life
of the nation.
Each period of national prosperity
since the saga age has seen a revival
Of literary activity. Now Iceland is
more prosperous in material way
than ever in it's history, and behold
there is a pen scratching in every cot
tage; there Is poet apostrophizing
every waterfall, dedicating the sum-
mer crop of poppies and daffodils, and
charming, or at least trying to charm,
the innumerable host of fays and light
elves, trolls and water sprites and
'1andvaettir" which have endowed the
bleak hills and mountains of Iceland
with an immortal soul.-From the Dial.

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Novel by William De Morgan Has
Counterpart in Real Life-Story
of Englishman.

A little more than ten years ago an
Englishman, deep in the sixties, won
great renown by going to hospital.
His illness, though severe, was ordi-
nary enough. The use he made of his
convalescence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed, William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other, which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story of an engi-
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There a mishap in the
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dazed state he lived new life.
By chance he met his former wife, fell
in love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De Morgan's tale
critics said only he could make it con-
vincing-London itself has duplicated
it from life.
John Arthur Lewis, returned SOL
der, was lately hailed into court for
absconding with money he had col
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by a van and injured. Bereft of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was in
troduced by his mother to young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock of. the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncompleted days
work of last August.
History here modifies the ancient OBJ
servation as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Arden? Tennyson
guessed them all.

Use Wireless Lamp.

A wireless signal lamp has been de-
vised for various kinds of war work
which enables the users to keep up
communication under conditions where
1t would be difficult or impossible to
stretch telephone or telegraph wires.
A barrage fire, for example, would be
no hindrance to signaling by this new
apparatus. It can be used between
a ground station at the battle front and
an airplane a considerable distance
away, flying over enemy territory.

Fewer Works of Art Imported.

According to compilation by the
National City bank, the value of art
works imported in 1918 is about SILL
100000, as against $23,000,000 in 1917
and $35,000000 in 1914.
In automobiles the value in 1918
was about $4,000, against nearly ST.
100000 in 1913 and more than $2,0O0,-
900 in 1912, while the average value
per machine imported In 1918 was less
than one-half that before the war.
Decorated chinaware imported In 1918
was about $3,500,O00 in value, against
$8000,O00 in 1914. Almost the same ra-
ito was shown in decreases Of precious
stones and jewel importations.

Efficiency Can Be overdone.

It may be that the new and much
Wanted religion of efficiency can be
carried too far. A little less of it, at
times, might work no great harm. Not
that we would decry efficiency, mind
you. Doubtless it is fine thing. But
look what it has done to the Ger

The idea we are trying to get at Is
that If man follow always and eter-

it is apt to make him stale as any
other steady diet would do, or to
weary him as it would weary him to
