NEWS AMONG
SCANDINAVIANS
Continued from Page y


Sweden, high school, is travelling
through the United States in order
to gather material for a report on
conditions surrounding Swedes who
have settled in this country. He is
interested, especially, in the econom-
ic aspects of the immigration prob
lem. DR.. Londberg recently received
a Laura Spillman Rockefeller Men,
orial scholarship, and was the first
Swedish citizen to be thus honored.
In Copenhagen.
DR.. Jess Jackson, instructor in the
department of English at Harvard
university, has arrived in Copen-
hagen, Denmark, where he-as the
recipient of an American-Scandina-
Wan foundation stipend-will study
the old Morse sagas in the original
manuscripts now found at the Royal
Danish Library. Incidentally, DR..
Jackson intends to learn modern Da-
nish so that he will be able at least
to read contemporary literature in the
original. He was formerly a reporter
on the staff of the Boston Globe.
NORWAY House."
Norwegian organizations in Greater
New York have now definitely decided
to erect Norway House in the
Bronx. The plan has been under con-
sideratien for the last four years, and
last year central organization was
formed for the purpose of furthering
the preliminary work; this organi-
cation which has been incorporated
as the United Norwegian Societies
of Manhattan and Bronx, Inc, last
week held mass meeting at which
$4,000 was subscribed for the build
ing fund. Active construction work
is not likely to be started until some
time in the year 1929.
Swedish Exhibit Coming.
The management of the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art in New York has
extended an invitation to Swedish ar
lists to send exhibits which will be
shown at the museum from January
Is till February %, 1927. The ex-
hibits will comprise not only paint
ings and sculpture works, but also
ceramics, tapestry, metal work, book
bindings, furniture as well as repre-
sentative manual art. The crown
prince of Sweden has promised the
museum that he will accept the pa
tronage of the exhibit.
A Controversy.
James Madison, a San Francisco
citizen of Danish birth, upon the oc-
casion of his latest visit to Denmark,
publicly criticized the Danish Tour
list association, reproaching it with
virtual incompetence, in that it did
not succeed in making Denmark suf-
ficiently known abroad, especially in
the United States. To this criticism,
Anton Kvist, Danish-American poet,
has published a spirited reply in Co.
penhagen newspapers, defending the
tourist association, and claiming that
it has done far more than could
reasonably be expected of it The
war of words was still being waged
when the newspapers, just received
here, left Denmark.

PINE COUNTY FAIR
ONLY FEW DAYS OFF

The Pine County Fair will be held
at Pine City next Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, September Is, IA and
Is. Monday is entry day and all
exhibits must be in place by p. m.
The program for the two show days.
Tuesday and Wednesday, is one Of
the best ever arranged for the Pine
County Fair. Fair patrons are as
sured of good fast horse races-har-
ness and running leach afternoon,
and the purses for the races amounts
to $4O0 Many high class platform
acts, before the grandstand, have been
booked and the list of these acts will
be found in the fair ad in this paper.
Field Artillery Battle.
"The Battle of the Marne," the
gigantic night spectacle, which will
be given both Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings will be a spectacular
event The battle will be staged by
Battery e, 125th Field Artillery, of
Pine City under the command of Capt.
H. v. Jorgensen
Four big inch field artillery guns
will be used and close to SO rounds
of ammunition will be fired each
night. These are the regular U. S.
army artillery guns, the Famous
French 75's used during the World
War and some of the members of the
battery taking part in the fair bat
tie, saw service in the artillery in
France.
There will be the roar of the big
guns and the flash of the explosion
and the smoke from the muzzel as
each round is fired; the bursting of
bombs representing the bursting Of
the shells, and the battle field will
be lighted with a profusion of red
lights and flares. The grand climax
will come when the ammunition
dump, the arsenal where ammunition
is stored, is blown up. There will
be a terrific explosion as the ammu-
milton bursts into flames amidst the
roar of bursting bombs and ammuni-
ton.
Capt Jorgensen has completed the
final details and states the fair bat
tie will be a realistic demonstration
of artillery firing during the war.

noon and evening, on Tuesday and

TIRED OF "KEPT PRESS,

The following letter was received
by the American the other day from
Arthyde, Mimi:

check for $3.50 and please send me

WILL GIVE INFORMATION.

Likely most of the readers of the
Askov American know that the edi-
tor of this newspaper is a candidate
for the legislature from Pine county
in the seth legislative district, this
year. Inasmuch as election day, Nov.
2, is rapidly approaching, it might bd
well at this time to say a few words
regarding my candidacy. J
In the first place, if promises and
handshaking are absolutely essential
and necessary for my election, fear
that l shall not be elected. l am not
long on promising a road for this cor
ner, a road for that corner, bridge
for another corner, and something else
to fourth corner of the county, and
a few things here and there in be-
tween.
My idea of legislators duty is
that he should represent all the peo-
pie to the best of his ability and with
fairness to all. If he goes to the leg
islature with lot of promises made,
and is tied down on this and that and
the other, then, a wooden man may
as well be sent and the lever jerked
for a vote when the roll is called
On financial questions, it is my
opinion that a legislator should vote
as he thinks the majority of the peo-
pie of his district would vote if re-
ferendum ballot were taken, with SYM
rathy and a helping hand toward
those who are in need and are strug-
Cling. ~
On moral questions, however, be-
lieve absolutely that a legislator
should vote as his conscience die
tates; if he does not exercise that
right and duty, he is not fit to repre-
sent his people. Coming from hum
BILE family and having learned to
know the value of a dollar early in
life and having labored for what
worldly possessions l have, it is
only natural that 1 would practice
economy in public office the same as
am doing in the management of the
American Publishing company.
Political hangers-on will not fare
well with me. 1t is necessary to have
some people in public life, but I do
not believe in appointing them to pay
a political debt; they must show that
they are able to fill the position to
which they are appointed, and be
willing to work.
One promise, however, l will make
that do make right along, and that
is: Should the people of Pine county
elect me to be their representative in
the 1927 session of the State Legisla-
ture, 1 will then write a weekly let
ter to the press of the county, telling
of the most important bills before the
House and my vote on those bills
There is great need for more infor-
nation and when we stop to consider
that only 50 per cent of the eligible
voters in this country cast their bal
lots in the last presidential election
the need for more information be-
comes all the more apparent. More
understanding of ones government
helps to build democracy, love Of
country and the feeling that each anG
every individual is part and parcel
of that government. The politicians
] do not claim, are altogether respon
sible for that condition. So per CEN
vote-each individual must also d.
his or her part, do what he or she cal

PRUNING
With the Approach Of the dorma,

With the approach Of the dormant
season some gardeners thoughts ap
parentiy turn toward pruning. Il is
%ue that hardy fruits, such as apple
bear, plum, peach and grape, may
oe pruned any time from leaf fall to
budding in the Spring, but for the
nome gardener with only a few trees
IL 10 really better to put off the prun
ing of all plants until Spring. At thai
time one can determine the full ex
tent Of storm injury and the differ
snce between strong and weak shoots
will be In greater evidence.
Shrubs of the type that bloom II
early Spring-namely. lilac, bridal
wreath. forsythia. weigelia, mock
orange. snowball-should be left en-
tirely alone until after blossoming
BY no means let the pruning urge
lead you to cut such plants. as the
most graceful clusters of bloom are
usually borne on the ends Of the
shoots. On the other hand, plants
like the large fiowered hydrangea and
Grape myrtle. which bloom in Mid
summer, should be pruned some time
before the buds start. Thoughtless
pruning without regard to the nature
Of the plant Is bound to result in
harm

Spray materials Of a poisonous ma

Fruit trees will be less subject to
mice injury II grasses and weeds are
cleared away for feet space about
the trunk. Where mice or other
rodents are dangerous, trees may well
be protected with cylinders Of strong
galvanized wire mesh cloth.
For many suburban gardeners poul-
try manure is an important source of
fertility. Winter Is an important
period Of accumulation and proper
methods Of handling materially affect
results. as poultry manure readily de-
composes and loses nitrogen unless
kept dry. It Is an excellent plan to
sift coal ashes or dry soil upon the
dropping boards after cleaning. This
makes cleaning easier and helps dry

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

It has now come to the time Of
year to put away the garden tools
Wiping with an oiled cloth will aid
in keeping away the rust. Broken
tools may very we'll be replaced or re-
paired during the Winter season.
The garden itself should be left in
81 neat condition. Bean poles, tomato
trellises. dahlla stakes and the like
should be taken down and removed to
q dry place. Old vines, such as to-.
matoes, may best be burned as soon
dry. as they simply serve to carry
over diseases to another year. Bare

! of the department of superintendent
| of the National Educational associa-
| tion. After telling of the grounds,
| not forgetting the skating rink be-
tween the Lincoln and Washington
memorials, he brought forcibly home
the Importance of the meeting and its
far-reaching effects. Of the $4,000
teachers present, practically all were
from the schools of the United States,
but there were also educators from
nearly every civilized country on the
globe to see how America does it.
President Coolidge gave an inspiring
address TO the convention, his theme
being Washington. He called attention
to heretofore overlooked interest of
the father of his country, that of edu-
cation, and pointed out that the foun-
dation of the present educational sys-
tenn was laid in Washington's day.
