SIDELIGT1TS
New Claimant for Honor Given Columbus

Denmark and Norway, Christian l., re-
questing him to fit out an expedition
and attempt TO find a sea passage to
Asia-in reality a northwest passage.
An old document TO that effect was
found In the Danish state archives.
The expedition was headed by the
Norwegian-German Captain
Didrik Pining and piioted by the Nor
wegian pilot Jon Skolp. to whom cred
it is given for having reached as far
as Labrador and found part of the
actual entrance to the northwest
passage.
Johannes Scolvus Is name un.
known in Norwegian history. DR.. Lar
sen connects it with the Norwegian
surname Skolp, which means a man
from the shores or fishing places of
northern Norway. His deed became
famous in his own times, but on ac-
count of various conditions not trace
able now, it was forgotten.
The account Of his voyage undOubt-
eddy has been of significance to other
expeditions, Norwegians as well as
English and Portuguese. DR.. Fridtjof
hansen, in one of his scientific works
has proved that even 100 years later
English explorers were familiar with
the expedition of Johannes Skolp,
namely when preparing for Martin
Frobisher's travel to Greenland in
1876.

The Government Profits by Carelessness

r HERE is one source Of revenue to
the government of which but few
persons are aware-that proceeding
from the large number of stamps that
are wasted by the people.
There are two ways in which the
government profits by the carelessness
and ignorance Of the public. In the
first place many stamps are destroyed.
This means a profit to the Post Office
department of many thousands of dol
lars year; how much cannot be esti-
mated, for there is no means of get
ting figures, except by elaborate and
untrustwOrthy calculation. A person
carries stamps in his pockets until they
are so worn that he does not dare
use them. In point of fact, anything
that looks like good stamp, no mat
ter If it is somewhat mutilated, is
passed by the clerks, just as dilapi-
dated bank note is good If there is
enough of it to show what it is. Wear
and dirt cannot, without almost de-
strOying the stamp, give it the look of
one that has been cancelled. Yet few
persons will put damaged stamp on
a letter. Besides, many stamps are
lost or destroyed entirely and the gov
eminent makes a clear gain.
The other source of loss to the in

ing by horse and wagon. Ninety per
cent of these farmers reported the
greatest advantage of a truck was the
saving time Every hour saved
meant the release of labor for other
farm work. 1t extended productive eff
fort.
Each truck displaced on an aver
age IL head of work stock and saved
an average of $163 worth of hired
help.
These trucks averaged 2,777 miles
a year at a cost of 16.5 to II cents per
mile. making the total annual opera
ton cost from $500 to $47O. This in
cludes depreciation on the basis that
the average life of truck Is six and
one-half years, the largest single item
of expenses"
AS it costs about 5000 year to keep
horse in the corn belt, the saving
from displaced stock was $240; from
reduced help $163, cuts the average
expense to $50 or $7O To offset this,
custom hauling amounted to $50 a year
each for all the S31 farms, leaving the
net expense between $40 and $40.

10000 IN LINE OF MARCH
Ex-Service Men Representing Every
State and Far-off outposts at
Cleveland Convention.

Twenty thousand eX-service men,
representing every state in the Union
and far-off outpOsts where the Stars
and Stripes flies, swung through the
streets of Cleveland, o., in the great
opening parade at the second annual
convention of The American Legion.
Leading the parade were hundreds
of disabled veterans of the World
war In automobiles, while behind them
came 81 winners of the Congressional
Medal of Honor. For two solid miles
the sidewalks and stands were packed
with cheering spectators as the vet
Grams passed in review.
Frequent picturesque incidents
served to lend color to the parade as
the long column of olive-drab and navy
blue tramped down the line of march.

Republic veteran, who won the Con-
gressional Medal of Honor at the bat
tie of Cold Harbor, Joined the medal
Of honor men and marched the entire
route. A huge flag that stretched
across the street, borne by Legion
naires of Akron, o., was showered
with coins by the spectators until more
than $4,000 was in its folds.
The delegates from Paris, Cuba, Pan
anna, Hawaii, Porto Rico. Mexico and
the Philippine islands, who had trav-
eled thousands of miles to attend the
convention, received a tremendous ova-
ton from the crowd. Army nurses and
former yeomanettes came in for their
share of the applause, and a sensation
was created by the Montana delega-
ton, which appeared in leather chaps,
spurs and sombreros
More than 100000 spectators viewed
the parade, which was declared to be
the greatest spectacle ever staged in
Cleveland.

SENIORITY OF G. A. R. HOLDS
Praise of Principles Embodied In
Message From Spanish War Vet
Grams and American Legion.

Recognition Of the seniority of the
Grand Army Of the Republic among
ex-service organizations and praise
of its principles are embodied in re-
cent message from representatives of
the United Spanish War Veterans and
The American Legion.
The statement, which is signed by
Thomas ]. Cunningham of the United
Spanish War Veterans, and DR.. T.
Victor Keene of The American Lee
gion. Is as follows: ...
"The representatives of the United
Spanish War Veterans and The
American Legion, appointed by their
respective national commanders, ex-
tend to you hearty greetings At a
joint meeting called by your past COM
mander-in-chief. Col. G. N. Adams, a
declaration of principles was unani-
mously adopted. 1t was agreed that
one of our nations most valuable in
situations for the teaching of patriot
ism has been the Grand Army cere-
monies In many localities, and it was
believed that a wider recognition by
all of the national veteran groups In
a formal manner Of the opportunity
so afforded would result in mutual
good and profit. i ..n ...
1.-The younger veteran groups de-
sire the Grand Army to clearly and
definitely understand that we recog-
nize their seniority, and hold the
Grand Army, composed as it is of our
fathers and grandfathers. in reverent
affection. We hold it splendid thing
to be permitted to aid and help the
Grand Army in its work during it's
life; and when the Grand Army shall
be no more. with the appreciation that
all men who have seen service feel for
brothers in arms, to continue the Gus
toms and honor the memory of the
Grand Army as we will our own"

Cities Cannot Keep Surplus Population

r. HE census bureau apparently is
j trying to scare the eternal day
lights out of us by it's oft-repeated
announcement of the discovery that.
for the first time i'm the history of
this nation, more people live in the
cities than in the country. We are
told that, whereas the urban popula-
ton had majority of 100000 ten
years ago. it now has minority of
about 100000.
We presume the census bureau is
trying to tell us that the United
States has become a manufacturing
nation instead of an agricultural peo-
pie, and are trying to impress us that,
for the first time in our history, we
are face to face with the actual dan
ger that we cannot grow enough food
to support ourselves.
If this alleged situation is a fact
rather than theory, we have every
reason for fear, but I'm common with
most people of the land. we cannot
become greatly exercised over the mat
ter. 1t Is unfortunate that census-tak-
ing should have come just when it
did, at the end of the great war, for

W sons discovered America before

The latest addition to the line of
claimants is Jon Skolp, a Norwegian
explorer.
Sofus Larsen, a Danish scientist
who has recently made a report found

which he says proves that Skolp, the
Norwegian, "rediscovered America" in
1476, sixteen years ahead of Column

in the United States, and it registered
this abnormality. The necessities of

the cities by the millions, and the
necessities of peace have not yet re-
adjusted this situation. There are to-

cities than in the rural districts, ma

But this excess has not long been in
the cities and it will not long be there.
