Sees Blg Trade.
P. Grant Smith. acting Ameri-
can minister to Denmark until
some time ago. has arrived at
New York, where he said that
Copenhagen bids fair to become
one of the centers of interna-
tional trade in the future. He
said that the staff of the Ameri-
can legation in the Danish capi-
tai was larger than the peace
time staff of the embassy at Lon
don, and that an enormous
volumne of business was being
transacted through the U. S. Of
fees in Copenhagen.
To Organize New Firm.
Ejnar Bjorgo of San Francisco,
accompanied by Lars p. Madsen
of Fresno, has left on trip to
Norway for the purpose of in
teresting additional capital in an
invention which he has made
and by which it is claimed that
automobiles may protect them
selves against dust no matter
how much the fellow Immediate
ly ahead speeds up on a we'll
travelled road.
Decorated Warrior.
Sergeant A. E. Carlson, born
at Boone, Iowa, of Swedish
descent, has been decorated with
the Distinguished Service Cross.
The particular incident which
resulted in his being honored
consisted in his jumping into an
automobile laden with muni-
tions at time when hostile
grenades were being fired into
it. He threw every projectile
out as soon as it fell and thus
saved the car load.
On a Long Journey.
Jens Nielsen of Cedar Falls,
Iowa, left last week for Mon
treal, whence he will proceed to
England and later on to Den
mark; probably other European
countries will be visited. Mr..
Nielsen, who is a Dane, is travel
ling in the interest of the Vik.
ing Pump Co., and will remain
away for several months.
Production Shrank.
During 1918, report just ar.
rived says, only 218 of the 3OC
brick works of Norway were in
operation. The production was
313 million bricks and IA million
tiles compared with $50 million
bricks and 20 million tiles the
year before.
| Refuse Release.
The Bolshevik government al
Petrograd on Monday refused te
release seven members of the
Swedish legation at Petrograd
recently arrested. Sweden has
protested, but the Bolshevil
government contends that the
two men and FIVE women typlsts
arrested had violated Russian
laws and could not be allowed tc
plead diplomatic immunity.
Strike Threatened.
Danish newspapermen are
threatening to declare strike
unless they be granted salary
raise which will amount to a to
tai of so per cent more thar
their salary was in 1914. They
have served the publishers OF
newspapers with an ultimatun
to the effect that if the demand
be not granted before August l
the strike will be effective, anc
| newspapers will be seriously
handicapped.

FRUIT IS STILL SAFE


The fruit is still safe in Kansas,
with the exception of peaches, S. D.
Flora, state meteorologist says, but
one or two more heavy frosts, such as
covered Kansas the 14th will see
an end to all hopes for cherries and
plums.
Peaches are always winter killed
when the temperature goes to 10 de-
grees below zero. On January 3, the
temperature reached Is below. It is
not likely that many trees will even
bloom.
Apples, plums and Cherries are so
far safe, altho several light frosts
have occurred since the buds began to
swell.
James Sharpe, of Council Grove, one
of the largest apple growers in the
state, has made an extensive study OF
frost effects on apples in Kansas and
is considered an authority on the sub
ject. Sharpe has prepared a frost
table for the local weather bureau.
Just now, when the buds are be-
ginning to swell, a temperature Of 10
degrees will kill the fruit. When the
bud is just opening, 25 degrees is
fatal. A bud just opened will be killed
by 20 degrees of cold, and 81 degrees
is fatal after the petals have fallenl
leaving the tiny fruit exposed.

PARENT CRISIS.

Paris, Sept. ti-CThe A. P.)-
Frances declining birthrate has lately
been a source of much concern but a
distinct Improvement has been noticed
during the present month.
Evidence of a great decline in births
IN 1913 was shown in official figures
for the district of the Seine, which in
cludes the city of Paris, which show
ed that there are only 43,4s0 births
registered in that district in 1918 as
compared to the 1889 in 1911.
The infantile death rate given by
statisticians IS 40 per cent. as compar-
ed to ten per cent. before the war.
This has been attributed to the scar
city of wet nurses and poor quality
and shortage of milk for bottIe-fed
babies. This shortage is said to be
due 10 the tremendous Increase in
cheese making especially in Normandy
However, all the maternity hospitals
IN Paris reported increased births
thus far in the present month. In one
hospital the number has doubled those
of last year and it is declared thai
