the plays is then pictured by him u

The public service idea is not a

But recently the Secretary deter

In view of the approaching radio

all broadcasting stations to he in

record of June last year by 81 per

LETTER WRITTEN
81 YEARS AGO is
RECEIVED In u. S.

Haakon Bader, who left his ma
tive town in Norway in 1888, re-
Gently received at Tacoma. Wash,
a letter mailed from his native city
shortly after he left it. During its
wanderings the missive had been
handled by the postal services Of
five different nations. for in that
time Norway gained her independ-
ence from Denmark, under whose
flag Bader was born.
The letter, written by Bader's
father, long since dead, expressed
his love and good wishes for his
sailor son and contained photo
graphs of Bader's parents.
When Bader, a lad of IS, went
to sea from his native village of
Kragero, Norway, the letter fol-
lowed him to Cardiff, Wales, but
arrived shortly after he had set
sail for Buenos Aires. He had also
left Buenos Aires when it reached
that city, and it was turned over
to the Danish consul there.
There it lay in the consular files,
while Bader pursued his Seafarlng
life over most Of the world, includ-
ing a visit to his home village
Later he joined the gold rush to
Alaska, and then came to the
States and settled at Tacoma,
where he opened a cigar store.
Some two months ago some one
discovered the ancient letter in the
consular files at Buenos Aires,
and it was returned to it's place of
origin. There friends gave postal
authorities Bader's last known adj
dress in Tacoma and it was sent
there and forwarded again to his
present place of residence
The letter, written in his fathers
hand and still plainly legible, was
like a message from another world.
