TWO OR POSSIBLY THREE
LAND OFFICES MAY BE
ADDED IN MONTANA

Helena.-Two or possibly three of
the land offices in Montana, recently
abolished by executive order, may be
reinstated for operation in addition
to those at Billings and Great Falls
which were not affected by the presi-
Dental order, according to DR.. %. M.
Lanstrum, on his return from Wash
ington, D. c., where he conferred
with President Coolidge and officials
of the land office on the situation in
this state. No definite promise was
given by the president, however, said
DR.. Lanstrum, and where the land
offices will be situated, in the event
of the order being modified with re-
spect to two or three offices is still
very uncertain.
The executive order as it now
stands, is effective on the Both of this
month.
DIR. Lanstrum brings word also
from Washington that the abolishing
of the office of surveyor general here,
as a result of no appropriation hav-
ing ben made by the last congress,
will not disturb the personnel of the
office. All employees in this Office will
be continued in their positions, said
DR.. Lanstrum, and the work will be
administered by the assistant super
visor of surveys.

ization from the Great Lakes to the
Pacific and by their whole-hearted
loyalty to their adopted country, help
ed to save the Union during the Civ
il War.
By remembering the noble work
done by our fathers we shall be in
spired with greater zeal to prove
ourselves worthy of being their child
rem by clean living, by useful work
Tor our community and our country.
Some may argue that Morse emf
grafton to America began more than
a hundred years ago. Yes, Norsemen
landed at various times on our
shores before the year 1925, and rem
dered notable service in the War of
independence, but it was the sailing
of the sloOp "Restauartionen" and
the founding of the first Norwegian
settlement in America that marked
the beginning of real migration
from Norway to this continent.
The Centennial will be the greatest
celebration ever held by NOrsemen
in America. The program will in
clCde speakers and musicians of
worldwide fame. The President, Cal
vim Coolidge, will represent the gov
eminent of the United States; the
Premier of Canada, or a member of
his cabinet, viii lspeak for the do
minion to the north! DR.. Fritjof Nan
sen will appear for the mother coun-
try; a distinguished son of Iceland
will represent the famous island
where the Norsemen settled a thou
sand years ago and whence they
sailed to America almost five hun
dred years before Columbus saw the
western world.
1t is expected that there will be
large attendance of people of the
many societies participating in the
festivities aside from attendance of
the public at large that will tax the
capacity of the fair grounds.
The civic organizations of Mime
apolis and st. Paul will cooperate
with the Committee in perfecting
the arrangements and in making the
stay Of all visitors in the two cities
interesting and enjoyable.
Not less than 2,700 Lutheran con-
gregations, the Norwegian colleges,
seminaries and academies; the num-
erous Bygdelags, the lodges of the
Sons OF Norway and various other
societies and organizations have been
assigned places in the Centennial and
are actively taking part in the pre-
parauons.
The site selected for the celebration
Is the geographic center of Norwegian
population of America, and the Twin
Cities have long been recognized as
a center of Morse art, learning and
culture. The Minnesota Historical
Library contains the largest collec-
ton Of NOrse-American literature in
America.

ditions. Such a child is often nervous

"fnicky" and fussy about food.
1t Isl not likely that any one child
will show all the signs of poor nutri.

PAGE COUNTY WILD HOGS

If the Shenandoah National Park
takes over thousands of acres in the
Blue Ridge of Page county it will
spell the extinction of the almost ex-
tinct wild hog" which for hun
dreds of years have roamed at will
in certain portions of this region.
This species of hog" which has
come to be almost thing of the
past, is an offspring of the natural
hog, which at one time was allowed
the freedom of the mountains, liv-
ing and growing fat on vast Quanti-
ties of acorns and other nuts.
After years Of this freedom ny
brid hog was the result. growing
vicious, having almost outstanding
hair all over its body and having
teeth that protruded from each side
of it's mouth. Old citizens of the
county who are still living relate
many narrow escapes from the
mountain wild hog" often being
forced to climb trees to escape them.
Settling of much of the mountain
territory has driven the wild hog"
to the most isolated portions, and
today it is hard to find one except
in the more remote parts.
