'AIRPLANE STUNTS

COMMODITIES HIGH,
WAGES Low in SWEDEN

After spending 40 years in the In
land Empire and then returning to
Sweden, things don't look just right
in the old country, according to Nels
Bjorklund, poineer Moscow carpen-
ter, who, with Mrs. Bjorklund, recent
ly returned from four months visit
in Sweden. Mr.. Bjorklund came to
Moscow in 1885, when he had only
been in America a few years, and fol-
lowed his inclination to make this
city his home. Last spring he decid-
ed to take a trip back to the old
contry, but says that. while he en-
joyed the visit, things were not to his
liking and ne was glad to get back to
the land of his adoption. The young
men and women of Sweden, he says,
are eager to get to America, and are
coming as fast as they can get the
money to come and as fast as the i'm
migration laws will permit.
The great trouble in Sweden, Mr..
Bjorklund says, is the wide spread
between wages and the commodities
which the laboring man must buy,
wages being low and manufactured
articles high. While a carpenter in
America receives from 81 to So day,
in Sweden the skilled carpenter re
ceiveS from three and one-half to four
kronen. A kronen is now worth 81
1-2 cents in American money. While
one days work in America will earn
enough to buy good pair of shoes,
it takes about four days in Sweden.
The young people. Mr.. Bjorklund
says, have no other objective but to
get to the United States, which they
look upon as the real land of promise.
No other country appeals to them.
Mr. Bjorklund says that while the
automobile is not a novelty in Sweden
there are not nearly so many in use,
in comparison to population, as there
are here. There are very few high
priced cars, the Ford being most in
evidence and the Dodge next, with a
considerable number of Bucks. The
roads are too narrow for satisfactory
automobile traffic, and must be re
constructed if the best service is to
be obtained from the motor vehicle
Gas must be shipped in from the
United States and costs more than
twice as much as itdoes here, which
serves to hold down the automobile
traffic.

A MINISTER WITH TWO
MESSAGES

Idaho is losing a minister who has
accomplished whole lot for the state
in a short time, aside from his work
in connection with the pastorate OF
his church. He is the Rev. Fioyd L.
Beckwith pastor of the First Baptist
church, Boise and the Idaho States
man tells the public that he is the
man. and he alone, who is respon-
sible for j. L. Kraft, the national
cheese magnate, coming to Idaho AS
q result southern Idaho already has
80 cheese factories, with the promise
of many more, and Mr.. Kraft himself
has stated that Idaho has the great
est dairy future OF any state in the
union. The Rev. Mr.. Beckwith has
only been in the state two years. He
is a man, however, who is able to
recognize an opportunity when he
gets his eye on it, and as soon as he
had given south Idaho the once-over.
he got in touch with his friend, Mr..
Kraft, induced him to visit the state,
and then left it up to Kraft's judg-
ment.
Idaho has the resources and lacks
only people and capital to make the
state one of the greatest and most
prosperous in the union. Much could
be done to attract people to the state,
by preachers and others who come
here from the less favored parts of
the country if they would just tell the
story of this favored land to their
friends and relatives. They would be
doing a real service to those whom
they induce to come here, as we'll as

he rough places would all be worn
off the top of the Rockies by people
coming west, if the millions who live
east OF the Rockies could be brought
to realization of the superior eli
matte conditions and the superior op-
portunities which exist west of the
Rockies 1t is a story which should
be told and which will stand retelling
many times.
