his way to Manitowoc, Wis, where in
taking a mental inventory of his as
sets, he found his sole stock in trade
to be his youth; he was then six
teen-year old boy possessing good
health, abundant strength, an active
brain, and a firm purpose. His SUBJ
sequent successful business career
bears evidence that such assets were
all the capital he needed in this land
of opportunity. He attended high
school three years, worked as clerk
four years, and then started a store
of his own. In 1865 he established a
mercantile business in Mortified.
ain 1889 Mr.. Thorson's purchase of
big stretch of land at Elbow Lake,
Mimi, caused him to transfer his prin-
cipal business activities to North
western Minnesota and North Dakota.
His land purchase proved more valu-
able than gold field. He farmed on
an extensive scale, dealt in real estate,
and identified himself with banking.
He was president of a number of
banks throughout the Northwest. His
friends regarded him as a commercial
genius; he himself modestly attribut-
ed his financial success to luck. He
was married to Miss Karen Lajord in
1864. Besides his daughter, Mrs. lex
Ter, he is survived by a brother, a
daughter and two sons living in st.
Paul"

H. THORSON HONORED
AS FOUNDER OF SCHOOL
Former President of Citizens Bank
One of Incorporators of st.
Olaf College.

The following is taken from the
Mortified News of February goth:
Harold Thorson, former Mortified
merchant to whose agressiveness and
vision is due the fact that st. Olaf col
lege is a Mortified institution, died
Wednesday forenoon, Feb. 18, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. L. H. lex
Ter, st. Paul.
''Northfeld might well display it's
flags at half mast this afternoon when
the funeral services will be held in St.
Paul, from the Norwegian Lutheran
church, with interment in Forest GEM
etery.
GAS one of the incorporators of st.
Olaf college, and it's largest benefac-
tor, and as one of the organizers of st.
Johns Lutheran church in Mortified
fifty years ago, Harold Thorson laid
the foundation of institutions whose
growth has far exceeded the anticipa-
lions of the pioneers Of the late sixties
and early seventies.
"Mr. Harold Thorson was the finan-
cial prop and stay of st. Olaf college
during it's early years of struggle. He
was one of it's incorporators. He was
the man instrumental in locating the
institution at Mortified. To secure
it's location, he made a personal con-
tribution of $4,000 and helped raise
$6,00O.0O among the influential men
of the city. He procured the old pub
lie school building and lots in town for
IL L--S1Is~oon- eIopsxyoI for
three years as temporary quarters for
the school. He picked out the present
beautiful site on Manitou Heights as
the permanent home of the institution.
In erecting the main building, he was
the principal member on the building
committee He personally footed the
bills arising from tearing down the old
buildings on the original site down
town and from removing and putting
the material into what is known as the
old Ladies Hall on the hill. Mr.. Thor
sons interest in and love for st. Olaf
has remained undated turnout the
flight of years. In 1911 he gave $1O,.
10000 towards the erection of the
Mohn Hall. The climax of his contri'
buttons was reached last year wher
he donated to st. Olaf gift of $780,,
10000. This donation will be used to,
wards the erection of a $20O,O00.OC
Science Hall to be built in the neal
future.
Harold Thorson was born on the
Dovre farm in Nordre Aurdal Valders
Norway, November Is, 1841. In 1885,
he immigrated to America. On hi:
way to this country he was temporar
lily struck snow-blind while crossing
Filefeld to Laerdal. A five weeks
voyage across the Atlantic on the sail

Congress Should Cure the Paper Famine If Big
Newspapers Do Not

The smaller papers throughout the country are in dire
distress because the scarcity of print paper and the high
prices that charged them for such print paper as they
IAN get. a"
These smaller papers are calling upon Congress, and
congress is under obligation to these smaller papers and to
heir clientele to consider their carefully and to act
udiciously but positively in their behalf.
The large papers in the big cities have to certain
the difficulties the small papers throughout
he country But the large metropolitan newspapers have
he these difficulties and to get paper
t whatever price may be asked
Unfortunately it may be said of most OF these large
metropolitan that they in way concerned
the difficulties of their smaller country brethren and that
hey go ahead recessy using all the print they want
nd much than they need without regard to the
ardships which their imposes upon the smaller
apers throughout the country.
The Hearst papers are of course the largest publish
ng institution country and use because of their
print paper.
But the Hearst papers have been conservative in
he use of this paper They have drascay reduced the
ze of their daily issues and of their Sunday issues
hen their metropolitan competitors were reckessly using
Il the paper they could get their hands on.
It is not just and fair then to the country papers to
certain metropolitan daes reckless in the of print
aper and it is not fair to those metropolitan daes
Tho conservative in the of print paper and anxious
to impose unnecessary difficulties on smaller papers to
restrictions upon these Goal Oil Johnnies of
journalism who burning up paper without reason and
or that matter without result.
The Hearst papers, therefore advise the Congressional
Committee dealing with this subject to proceed boldly to put
proper limitation upon the size of newspapers until
his print paper shortage possibly for the period Of
one year.

Congress- of course, should proceed cautiously
not to nure any newspapers but it rest assured that
what some metropolitan newspapers have done in the
Of conserving print paper other metropolitan newspapers
easily do.
Congress should not attempt to determine what goes
into newspaper It should not decide whether the
that newspaper is allowed should be devoted to advers
ing to editorial special features
what.
But it could very properly decide what size of paper
should be sent through the man other words how many
pages should be permitted in each issue.
It would be hardship at all upon metropolitan news
papers to conne them to twenty four pages week days
and seventy two pages Sundaygving them Is right
three times as many pages for the Sunday PERIODICAL
as they allowed for their daily NEWSPAPER.
Congress would have constitutional authority to
limit the size of newspapers except in far they
carried through the mails.
But the Postoice Department undoubtedly could refuse
accept newspapers whose regular editions contained
than twenty four pages in the weekday editions and
seventy two pages in the Sunday editions; allowing the
of the newspapers to devote those pages to what
matter they peased-want advertisements display
advertisements articles pictures special articles
what not but restricting the papers to given number Of
pages.
This would undoubtedly reduce the consumption Of
print paper considerably and relieve the stress smaller
papers throughout the country.
But if it did not sufficiently relieve the situation, then
Congress could later further to limit the number of
pages
When hear of papers suspendng all the country
and when there possibly railroad strike coming and
the transportation of everything, including paper
will be difficult there is reason why Congress should
not take the situation boldly in hand and proceed very
fairly but very firmly to SOLVE it.
