PRIMITIVE SOUTH SEA CHART
One Used by Native NaVigators of the
Marshall Islands Was Made
of Sticks,
A sea chariot the South Sea islands

A sea chart'of the South Sea islands
made of sticks, which served as an ac-
curate and authoritative guide for the
daring navigators Of the Marshall
Islands just as modern maps do, is one
of the exhibits to be seen In the South
Sea island hall of the American
Museum of Natural History in New
York. The strange sea chart is the
gift of Robert Louis Stevenson, who
lived on the island OF Samoa four
years before his death.
Distances between the islands were
measured by hours, not miles. These
charts are but little used now but
there was a time when each young
chief was compelled to pass his exam
,nalion in the charts, knowing them by
heart as they never were taken 10 sea.
Some students say the sticks represent
currents, AS there are four distinct
sets of swells from four quarters of
the seas at various seasons of nayiga-
ton, which were closely studied by
the natives.

HODGES AND ALBERTA
HEAD COUNTY In DRIVE
Only One-Half the County Reports
in Farm Bureau Campaign
Received

Hodges is now in the lead among
the townships, and Alberta district
among the districts, in the Farm
Bureau membership campaign.
Whether they will remain in the
lead, and get the Feeds" it is too
early to prophesy, as much depends
upon the activity of the teams from
now on to the end of the contest.
Up to the present time 175 member
ship checks have been received at the
Farm Bureau office, and there are
seven still out in Everglade township.
Taking into consideration the fact
that no reports have been received
from the teams of Baker, Stevens,
Moore, Framnas, Swan Lake, Darnen,
Morris, Me- Pepperton, and N II Ell
dorado-which constitute one-half
of the county-this is a very good
showing.
Some teams have not started on
the drive because their corn is not
yet planted, but it is hoped that all
of those who have not been out will
be able to finish up the canvass this
week so that the results can be re-
ported in next weeks paper. The
number of memberships sent in and
the score per township on June list,
each years membership counting one
point, is as follows:

Due to Mr.. Roberts failing health
they returned to Norris in July 1919.
His condition grew steadily worse,
and he was finally taken to Grace
vile hospital for an operation. His

Frontenac, Mimi, Ray S. Roberts,
Norris, G. w. Roberts, and Mrs. John
Osman of Alberta, Mrs. George M.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
HOLD "CONVENTION''
Discuss Summer Programs With Miss
Buckley of Bureau of
Nursing

For the purpose of discussing their
summer programs, the public health
nurses of the surrounding counties
met in Morris last Saturday. Miss
Mary Buckley, of the Northern Di-
vision (Red Cross), Bureau of Nurs-
ing, was also present to meet with
the girls.
A luncheon was given at noon by
the ladies of the local Red Cross
branch, at which twenty guests, in
Guiding the nurses, were present.
Mrs. Hancock, the chairman, intro
duced everyone to everyone else pres
ent, at a little talk, before the lun-
cheon began. The first course" was
the reading of a health creed" a
typewriter copy of which was at
each place at the table. The table
was prettily decorated with baskets
of lilacs, and boutonniers of lilies of
the valley attached to the name
cards; and. delicious meal was
served.
Afterward, the guests adjourned to
the Commercial Club rooms, to spend
the rest of the afternoon in a dis
cussion of the various summer
problems" which confronted them.
Miss Muckley emphasized the neces-
sity for work outside the school
room, and spoke of the Importance
of prenatal work, and work among
children of pre-school age.
The greatest value in public health
work, she said, lies in teaching the
child right habits of living, and the
principles of hygiene. She advocated
the use of health booths" and
health clowns" at county fairs and
community get-to-gethers of all
kinds, and it is quite probable that
Stevens county fair this fall will have
both.
Most of the nurses plan to spend
their summer in doing tuberculosis,
child welfare, and special problems
work.

ITALIANS DETERMINED II RESTORE WORLD TRADE IF NAT|ON AT ONCE

ROME. Nov. 25-Alfred C. Bedford of New York City. vice president of the International Chamber of Com merce, after visiting Genoa has been spending q few days in Rome to as certain the real situation in Italy political economic and financial point Of view and meeting the leading men of Italy including Premier Giolitti and William Marconi
 To the representative of The Asso- ciated Press. Bedford expressed him self as being greatly reassured by his contact with Italian affairs and said that in his opinion inc signifi- canoe of the recent occurrences in Italy (syndicalist seizures of factor ies, etc) has not been fully under stood in America.
 "In some instances the readjust- ment Of the economic conditions at times assumed what appeared on the surface to be drastic aspect. but the disposition of the great mass of Italian people was to return as rap idly as possible to an orderly system atic development of the country's tradeN he continued
 Italy is sanely and ably led by the existing government, wise and emi- cable settlement being reached be- tween labor and capital in basic in- dustries. and the financial program promises to materially relieve the if naneial burdens of the country which is an assurance for the future
 Bedford added that it was difficult to predict the future course of ex- change but. in his opinion, no magic existed by Which return 90 normal could he accomplished quickly.
 He concluded by saving: When all

, financial nostrums prescribed from
 different sources in Europe and America have been exhausted, it will probably be found that the simple remedy of united efforts toward re-
 newing the worlds real wealth, or
 commodities and the elimination of eNtravagances levied by war will | have constituted the ultimate solu- ! tion of the worlds financial problem" |"
 The Giornale D'Italia quoted him
 as saying: The Americans are aware of their duties toward the | world. On the individual prosperity
 of Italy, England, France, Belgium and America depends the prosperity ! of all. The esoistic snort sighted policy of national success built on the ruins of neishboring nations is a po- Hey of the past. Preferenua- tariffs and dislOyal competitions arc suTce1s on commerce and international indus tries, not only are they unwholesome systems but creat enmities and wars between peoples.
 "The American Chamber of Com merce is convinced that by substitut- ing for these fallacious principles healthy energetic proposals Of united international action, commerce freed from artificial obstacles, anc just treatment toward nations lacking in natural resources; the interests or humanity would be better guaranteed. I believe that through frequent ex- change of views between commercials q. this object would be attained.
 This" concluded Bedford. lis the reason of my visit to Italy.'
