the most popular play among Scandin-
avians, will be presented at the Strand

The play is written by Fredrik
August Dahlgren and deals with the
peasant life in the province Of Warm
land, whence the name. 4
The period is that Of hundred years
ago, when every province in Sweden
had its distinctive costumes. So, when
the full company is on the stage, the be-
holder might assume that an opera was

tunes are gay with color and highly
picturesque. The operate effect is en-
HANGED by a score Of songs, peasant
ballads, mostly In minor strains.

SON of wealthy peasant who defies
his parents and falls in love with the
daughter Of a tenant farmer or ''tor-
pare and refuses to accept an engage

peasant His stern father, insisting on

NAVY HAS ELECTRIFIED
HOUSEKEEPING.

The housewife can obtain an idea OF
the future by considering the home of
the modern sailor. On the u. S. s.
Mexico the culinary staff has at its
disposal electric potato peelers, dough
mixers, cake mixers, butter cutters and
meat grinders. Even the humble task
of dishwashing is done by electricity,
much to the delight Of the men detailed
for the job. a dough boy visitor to the
ship, upon recounting his impressions,
said: cali their X. P.'s Kitchen Po-
lice) do, is sit in "a chair and push but
tons!'' While this view is not quite
justified, the work in a big ships galley
has been materially reduced. All bak.
ing is done by electric heat The ice
machine is run.by motors. The ships
tailor uses electric irons. The heating
system uses electrically heated air.
Casual visitors to the ship obtain an
impression that sailor tolls not,
neither does he spin. The members
of the ships company Indignantly deny
this, however.
Many Of the large hotels Of the coun-
try have Navy trained men on their
STATS. Though not generally known
hundreds Of men in the Navy are being
instructed daily in this very necessary
branch Of work. Their promotion de.
ponds upon the degree Of proficiency
they obtain, and one sure indication OF
a good cook is a Well-satisfed crew At
meal time. Navy food is wholesome
and the men who prepare It must have
proved their ability to cook it up to
the satisfaction Of their shipmates.
Absolute cleanliness in the commits.
sary department IS insisted upon, and
members Of the ships medical force are
constantly making inspections with this
object in view.

IMPRESSIONS OF THE
RED RIVER VALLEY

Herbert + McDOugall, Secretary
Manager Of the Pershing Highway, tells
about his recent trip thru the Red RI
yer Valley, In the Pershing Way Maya
zine, in the following interesting man
ner: Z.
y When one leaves CrOokstOn, north
ward bound, he begins to appreciate
the prosperity and wealth Of the Red
River Valley. On every hand are the
evidences machinery for big farm
ing and for road Improvement, millions
of dollars worth, and fields that are
measured by miles rather than acres.
The number Of tractors scattered over
the landscape is astonishing, and back
and forth across the distances they
shuttle, dragging the gang plows that
tear Hp the earth at terrific rate.
Threshing machines on every hand
were winding up the work for the sea-
son, and their drone waited across the
distances, and the grain poured out in
golden grain golden in color and in
vafue.
Road machinery is everywhere in
evidence, big graders that eat out the
earth from the bitches and spew it out
on the grade to be instantly reduced to
level by disc harrows, or else is de.
livered directly into wagons that keep
pace with the machine and drive away
when filled to give way to another We

Bridges were being put in, the grades
brought to standard, and fills and cuts
made

Angus was next with j. f. Mont
gomery, a hustler, interested.
Warren, the largest town between
Crookston and Winnipeg, was next, and
there was a host Of live men who real
lied the value of the P. w. with its ex-
tensive plans. A Commercial club
handles community affairs there, and a
meeting of leading members, hastily
called, was held one morning in the
club rooms. These men thought that
Warren was good enough town to
supply sixty memberships, and voted to
take the matter up formally with the
club Of which John p. Mattson, editor
of the Sheaf, real newspaper, is the
secretary.
Warren is wonderfully fine town,
the county seat of Marshall county.
. Argyle, which is said to be the best
grain shipping point in all that terri.
tory, is the next town. One Of the re-
sources of the town is A. E. Pfiffner,
banker, who was reared at Lake Mills,
Iowa, with NJ A. Aasgaard, and who,
having read the Lake Mills Graphic all
these months the p. w. has been under
way, was we'll informed on the aims
and plans of the organization and took
