OLDEST DOCUMENT OF
AMERICAN HISTORY
(BV United Pressl

Madison, Wis, Jan. 13.-The rune
stone found at Kensington, Minn.,
some years ago is the oldest native
document of American history, ac-
cording to the contention of Hjalmar
R. Holland of Ephraim, Wis, writing
in the December issue Of the Wiscon-
sin Magazine of History.
The rune stone has an inscription
which represents that it was deposit
ed by party Of Norsemen who were
in Minnesota in 1864. Many scholars
have turned their attention to the
matter deciding that the inscription
was hoax, while others have accept
ed it as historically valid.
Holland argues vigorously in sup
port of the stones authenticity, as
suming that the tNorsemen reached
Minnesota by way of Hudson Bay
and the Nelson river. ~.

The Good Old U. S. A.

Previous to 1914 We owed Eng
land so much money that the annual
interest was 800 million dollars.
Now England is paying us $50 mil
lion dollars a year interest. Before
the war we owed about four billion
dollars abroad. Today the net in
debtedness of Europe to America is
ten billion dollars. We possess
about one third or more of the total
wealth of the world. America is now
the richest nation and the financial
center of the world. Before the war
England was the greatest ship own
ing nation. After 1920, America
will have twice as many ships as
England.

in our history every citizen of the
United States should get these big
.acts indelibly in his mind.--Current
