subject for discussion. COvetuous-

divisions of the subject; Luke IL 10

cases Of Achan and Gehazi were
wildly told and many Bible quota-

uousness--i Cor. 1891; Phil. 2:3-

money matters it is indeed good TO
read and memorize such sayings of
God Feel. ia; Prov. 1910; 2nd
Cor. 7:9; l Cor. l6, and Deut.
1917.
May we have more such helpful
lessons on our Christian duty.
At the evening hour because Of

Galveston, Oct. 3i.-Plans for a

posed adjustment Of intra-state
freight rates, scheduled TO be held

WON PRIZE FOR LONGEST
BEARD
Hans Langseth, Formerly of st. Ans
gar, Wins Trip to Sacramento
to days of 40"

The following from the Bismarck,
N. OAK, Tribune, printed in last
weeks St. Ansgar, Iowa, Enterprise,
refers 10 a former resident of the
latter town:
"Boy! Page Hans N. Langseth
of Barney, N. Oak. He is wanted
out in Sacramento.
"For Hans is the winner of the ma
tional beard contest which has been
staged to locate the longest beard in
the United States. He's got it by
far. Seventeen perfectly good feet
of whiskers sprout from his chin.
"And as a result of being crowned
champ, Hans is entitled to free trans
portation to Sacramento, and return,
that he may attend the Days of4y
celebration to be held in the Califor.
MIA capital, May % to %.
"And that isn't all. When he ar
rives in Sacramento he'll be present.
ed with a gold medal, and for every
one of the six celebration days he
will be paid $50-a total of $500
just for displaying his paze winning
crop of whiskers.
"Langseth's beard got its Start in
Norway, for he lived in Eidsvold,
when he decided to let 'er f1ow.'
1t is the custom at Eidsvold, as
Langseth explains, for men to per-
nit their whiskers to grow during
the winter months and to shave them
off each spring. He did this until
he reached 20 years of age. Then
emboldened by the astonishing lux
uriousness of its growth, he decided
] to let the chest protector sprout.
: "Just wanted to see how long it
would grow says he.
"And it has sprouted an average
rate of 1-2 inches a year ever since.
"The extreme end of the whiskers,
which years ago nestled close to the
chin, still form a mat of Viking red,
their color when the beard first
reached the United States in 1876.
Gradually the color fades and the
upper section is snow white.
"Langseth takes an active inter-
est in his farm near Barney. When
he is not using his beard to measure
the distance between fence posts,
Gust about rod you know he
keeps it tucked beneath his vest. And
when it is thus hidden, you'd mere
ly think he had short crop of fluffy
whiskers. For, in truth, he has a
double growth. While the main
champion strands run to the full II
feet, a shorter crop still bushes out
in the ordinary beard manner.
Friends enjoy the sight when he
washes out his famous growth. He
uses curtain stretcher, and take Vi
from Hans, it's a considerable JOE
to coax a comb through II feet OF
hair.
when / was younger says
Langseth, used to let folks pull
my beard in the tug of war style
Not any more, though. 1t hurts my
neck
"And so, beard that started out
in the days of AT, viii be on hand tc
help California celebrate the Days
of 40"
