POULTRY SHOW
AT SANDSTONE
Annual Show of County AS
ISOLATION Goes to Quarry
City.-Dates are Dec. IA,
Is, and 16.-Entry Fee
Reduced.

At a meeting of the board Of di-
rectors of the Pine County Poultry
Association at Pine City, last Satur-
day, the date for the annual poultry
show was set for December IA, Is,
and 16.
Vice-president Arthur Halvorson of
Sandstone, presided, and upon invi-
tation from him to hold the show
at Sandstone, it was voted to hold it
there in conjunction with the Corn
and Potato Show which is also being
promoted.
Secretary L. F. Appleby read the
minutes of the meeting held last De-
cember and also his annual report
to the State Association. Mr.. Apple
by's report showed that the sum of
$194.2O was paid out in premiums
at the 1926 show, of which amount
$157.0O was received as state aid, the
balance being from entry and mem
bership fees paid by members of the
association.
1t was also decided at the meeting
to reduce the entry fees from SOC per
bird to Csc per bird, the directors
hoping thereby to encourage the en-
try of larger number of birds than
have heretofore been shown.
Indications are that with the show
being held at centrally located
point there should be considerable
interest aroused and many birds ex-
hibited. Pine county has numerous
excellent flocks of chickens and the
owners should make every effort to
exhibit, not only for the prizes to be
won but for arousing greater interest
in poultry production.
Matt Poferl was present at the
meeting held in Pine City and ex-
pressed his wish of having a good
turnout for the Corn and Potato

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Prince Wilhelm of Sweden is again
as has been told in this column
touring the United States as a lee
turer. Recently he was in Kenosha,
Wis, where Scandinavian workers in
an automobile shop gave him a beau
tiful car as a present; he expressed
his extreme delight, and told the don
ors that nothing had ever touched
him as deeply as this gift.-A few
days later the prince was in Salt
Lake City where he was asked by a
Swedish-American newspaperman for
some message to give to Swedes in
America. And this is what the
prince said: always remain good
Swedes and still better Americans"
No Royalties.
A play, written by the Danish uu-
thors, Julius Magnussen and Paul
Sarauw, and entitled, Den store At
dede", has for some time been given
in an English version at New York
theater under the name of 1.-The IL
lustrious Departed. After it's metro
politan success the play was taken on
a tour of the country, and it now de-
velops that due to alleged negligence
on the part of a German publishing
house, owning the German rights, no
copyright protection has been secured
for the American version. The re-
suit is that while the play proves a
source of wealth to its American
sponsors, the two authors have not
received a penny in royalties that
would ordinarily have accrued to
them.
Fiftieth Anniversary.
The Logan Square Norwegian Bap-
fist congregation, Chicago, on Nov
ember 6 celebrated its fiftieth ami
versary. When the congregation
was organized fifty years ago, it con-
sisted of ten members who had form
erly belonged to a Danish congrega-
ton; in the beginning services were
conducted in temperance hall, but
in 1881 the congregation bought a
church building, and in 1903 erected
its present edifice on Logan Square.
In the meantime Danish members
have left the church and formed their
own congregation worshiping in a
building near Humboldt Park.
"The Original Flapper''.
Mrs. Mathilda Peterson, Louisville,

as 1.-The First and Original Flapper"
by reason of the fact that she bobbed

Literary World Sensation.
Johan Bojer, Norwegian novelist,
has now issued his latest book, ."Det

which simultaneously appears in
eight languages. 1t is Mr.. Bojer's
first book since he wrote his novel Of
Norwegian American pioneer life,
'Vor egen Stamme" ian American
version has been translated as "The
Emigrants'): Three years ago Mr..
Bojer made a tour of the United
States and lectured under the aus

Rev. O. Lindgren Dead.
Rev. o. Lindgren, president of the
Canada conference of the Swedish
Lutheran Augustana synod, died last
week at Camrose, Alberta, following
an operation. He was born in Dali
arne, Sweden, in 1861 and had come
to America in 1880. Having been
graduated from theological semin-
airy, he was for some time pastor of a
Minnesota congregation, and for many
years affiliated with Swedish church
work in Canada.
Leaves Consular Service.
Matthias Moe in Philadelphia has
resigned as Danish vice consul at
that port, a post which he has oc-
cupied for number of years. AS
considerable shipping under the flag
of Denmark is directed to Philadel-
phia, it is thought possible that the
office will be raised to that of a con-
sui, and that Mr. Noes successor will
be appointed from the Foreign Office
in Copenhagen and sent to Philadel-
phia. There is, however, also the
possibility that a resident of that city
will receive the appointment.
IbSen Centennial.
The Norwegian National League of
Chicago met few days ago to dis
cuss plans for the celebration of the
centennial of the birth of Henrik
Ibsen, Norway's famous dramatist.
One feature was decided upon at this
time, and that was that one of Ibsen's
plays will be presented, but a COM
-mittee has been appointed to select
the drama most suitable for the oc-
casion. Very elaborate festivities are
being considered. 90

Chicago, Aug. 3O.-tHp--Late re-

the province has a large crop. Mean

Budget Problems
Loom for Japan

Tokyo, Aug. 3O.--(P,-Thc Tanaka
government, confronted with the
worst financial and economic condi-
tions in the history of Japan, must
soon begin the compilation of the
budget for the next fiscal year
With an unfavorable trade balance
last year of more than 329,OOO,O00
yen, and the prospects exceedingly
gloomy for the present one, the
cabinet must face the almost impos.
sible task of finding money where
there is none.
Officials of the ministry Of finance
admit there is no prospect for any
substantial increase in revenue. Last
year there was an increase Of 10000
yen in revenue, but officials doubt
If any increase at all can be expected
this year.
Moreover, no substantial help can
be expected from the surplus reserve
There is balance of 100000 yen
in the hands of the treasury but this
must be reserved for emergencies
The whole of this surplus, according
to the estimates of the treasury Off
,cials, will have disappeared before
the end of thu y2cr. II
The surplus expected from 1926
is estimated at 1O0,OOO,OOO yen. Out
Of this about 9O,O0O,000 yen will have
to be reserved to take care of addi-
tional expenditures for 1927 and 1928
The third channel through which
the government can hope to find
money for new enterprises is the
flotation Of a loan. The government
has already decided to raise approxi-
mately 15O,OOO,O0O yen mainly for the
purpose of making up the loss in
revenue due to the transfer of the
land taxes from the treasury to the
prefectural governments. There is
considerable doubt whether the gov
eminent could raise any larger
amount, in view Of the prevailing de.
pressed financial condition.
In the meantime the departments
are compiling estimates and some
have decided upon costly new enter
priscs, as part of the expansion poll
cics Of the Sciyukai government.
