ICEL LANDER Swell TIERS IN D. c.;
CALLS FOR COOLING DRINKS
Private Ragnar Sigtrig Would Rather Have
: Pitcher of Ice Water Than Discharge
From the Army

Give me snow and ice or give me
my discharge"
Liberty was not more precious to
Patrick Henry than snow and ice is
Icelander in the United States Army
from whose unhappy brow great beads
of perspiration gathered and swelled
into rivulets as he confided his griev-
ances against the War Department To
a representative of The Herald at the
Raleigh Hotel last night
1t was a midwinder night in Janu-
airy, one of the most temperate of the
year, yet to hear the lamentations or
this soldier from the polar regions
as he sat in his room at the Raleigh
last nisht, one might have imagined
the speaker was sweltering under a
tropical sun.
Pleads for Ice Water.
Overcome with the sultriness of the
Capitals midwinter climate, the Wis
itor lapsed into a semi-conscious state,
which awakened the gravest fears of
his roommate, Private B. o. Kirkhan,.
formerly sport editor of the Milwau-
kee Free Press, who, together with
Private Sigtrig. was recently detached
from the Twelfth Infantry at New
port News and ordered to Washington
for special duty.
Punch that bell" cried Kirkham.
The reporter instantly complied with
the request. Hey you," yelled Kirk
ham to the fleet-footed bellhop, rush
us a pitcher of icewater instanter."
Sig must have snow and ice," he
confided, ''or he'll died, sure! It's
disgrace. Put something in the paper
obout it; maybee the War Department
will order a ration of ice and cod
liver oil for him, or, if they can't
change the ration for a single soldier
whose life depends on it maybe Sec.
retary Baker will give him his dis.
charge and let him go home, where
he can get all he wants for nothing. -
Solicitude for his "bunkie" cut tbs
TRADE short. and probably saved the
speaker a Court-martial. for at this
juncture the bell-hop arrived with q
big bucket of ice water and great
chunks of ice. The water was dashed
into the unconscious soldiers face, bu
failed to revive him.
Put the cake of ice on his head, >
suggested the reporter. This was done
and in a few moments the anxious
roommate was rewarded with a sigf
of contentment. Gradually the Ice.
lander regained consciousness and was

This Soldiers Discharge
Cost But Seven Cents

Camp Devens. Aver, Mass, Jan. ID
Funds of the United States Treasury
were depleted just 7 cents when Pri-
vate Frank Ball was honorably dis
charged from the army, and was given
transportation money home.
Ball lives in Aver, and the trolley
fare is cents. The highest amount
paid out here for transportation of
soldier to his home was $50 to a
private, who lives in California.

soon chatting away about conditions
in his beloved north country.
Coal is $50 a ton in Iceland. but
that doesn't worry us a bit for we
don't use any except for cooking.
Cod liver oil is cheap. Here we have
to pay 50 a bottle for it, and a pri-
yate on $50 month can't buy many
bottles.
THE price of coal does not bother
us as much as the price of salt, which
sells for 1929 ton. High prices, how
ever, are not conducive to crime in
the Arctic regions, for there has not
been an arrest for crime in Iceland
i9 thirty-eight years.
when one considers that Iceland
has a population of approximately
10000. but raises no grains of any
kind and is wholly devoid of manu-
factories, its dependence upon other
nations and its need for imports is
obvious
While the normal population of this
country is around 10000, this number
is almost doubled during the summer
months by fishermen from all parts
of the world, who buy supplies and
sell their fish to the merchants of the
country.
THE absence of factories necessi-
tates the Importation of tools of all
kinds, farming implements, engines,
kitchen utensils, clothing. shoes; in
| fact, all manufactured articles. Be
| ing a grazing and fishing country
| primarily, it is deficient in agricul-
tural products. raising only garden
| truck and producing no food grains
of value.
Mineral Deposits Untouched.
THE waters of Iceland abound in
! fish, hence the chief exports are cured
and salted herring, cod and halibut,
and the various oils, notably cod-liver
and whale oil.
sheep ard horses are raised in
large numbers, with the result that
the country is enabled to export large
quantities of salted meats, hides,
woods, eiderdown. butter and hand
made woolen garments. 1t is rich in
minerals, with plentiful deposits OF
iron, gold and petroleum. Up to the
present. however, these vast deposits
have been scarcely touched.
up until recently Iceland has traded
principally with England and Den
mark, a direct steamship line with
New York and Halifax having beer
established only two years ago. Ice.
land has paid high price for its i'm
ports, but has received ridieulousl.

asked Uncle Wiggily-
