Great Lakes ports, especially Duluth
and Chicago. A cablegram from Oslo
says that the results of this shipping
have been very unsatisfactory and
that the Norway bound cargoes have
brought nothing but losses; there is
some talk of abandoning the traffic
altogether although it is realized that
international shipping this year is
going through most difficult period
which may, i'm time to come, improve.

Leland Harrison, recently trans
ferred from his post as U. S. minister
in Sweden to a similar post in Uru-
quay, was interviewed by Stockholm
newspapers upon his departure for
South America, and expressed his en-
thusiastic pleasure at having become
closely acquainted with Swedish So
cial life and culture. He said he
thought the Swedes as a whole, in
refinement of manners and in their
broad perspective of things interna-
tional, were on a higher plane than
most other nations he had ever heard

The Danish-American club of AL

months visit to the United States next
summer, according to a Copenhagen
cablegram. The tourists will inau-
gurate their trip by attending the

and on July IA they will embark for
America they will make stops in Chi

possibly Askov, and other centers
where their compatriotS are to be

Norway May Make Claims.
In view of the fact that there is
tendency to consider the antarctic re-
gions above which Commander Rich

Pole, American territory, Norwegian
officials in Washington and Oslo are
informally contrasting any such claims
as they insist on priority rights as

there disclosed plans for the Danish
participation in the Chicago Worlds
Fair in 1888 He announces that
plans have been drawn for build
ing which is to be an exact copy of
the famous Kronborg castle at FL
shore, and that this building which
will contain the Danish exhibits, will
be erected on an island in Lake Michi-
gan. The American Kronborg" will
be somewhat smaller in its dimen-
sions than the original, but otherwise
every detail will be copied. The in
tention is to give the American pub

architecture, at the same time call
ing their attention to the fact that
it was on the site of the Kronborg
castle hat the legendary Prince Ham,
let of Shakespeare fame was wont to
roam about in hours of dread medita-
ton.
To Set New Records.
On the basis of statistics showing
that in the year, 1914, more than 5000

it has been estimated that close to
10000 will go to their old home coun-

will center about the city of TrOnd-

Of Chicago Grows

CHICAGO, Aug. 3-tP-The Chi

name for the racketeer's bomb. has
shoEn an increase both in produc-

Despite election promises that the
pineapple would cease TO menace

1929 over the similar period last

Beesley. an investigator for the
Chicago Employers association.
From January to July. 1928,
bombers scored 50 hits. while the
first half Of this year "pineapples"
bloomed in 60 spots, BeesIey said.
In the 1928 period the average dam
age was $500 md this year 81 .428.

that our tomatoes had been handled
extensively the past season and that
they had given general satisfaction.
Most wholesalers and brokers said
they were better than Mexican to-
matoes and that they were put up
right for this trade. One whole
saler said he found a lot Of them
with spots. but this appeared to be
an isolated case. Frank Gibson. an
importing broker. said their flavor
was superior to those from Mexico.

balance would be green's. This nee

asked for a little more care by the
packers to overcome the trouble.
But he said. If all your veget-
ahles came out as we'll graded and

Work Problem Is
Solved Bv Sweden

STOCKHOLM. Aug 3-P-From
1914 to 1924 Sweden spent $64, 100.-

a report or the State Unemployment
Commission. W
At present the number OF unem-
ployed In Sweden shows a minimum
figure, but the number registered
during 1922 averaged about 10000
every month. Only about one-fifth
OF the entire sum spent was given
as doleS. the rest being used on con-
structive unemployment relief.
The works included the repairing

AUSTIN. Aug. 3.-A stuggle to
decide when the democratic party
shall transform itself into some new
and distinct political organism, or
whether it shall cling to old tradi-
tons and continue as an entity ia
miliar to its longtime followers is
now shaping in the early and un-
precedented lush of candidates into
the governors rae of 1880. accord
ing TO the rising rumble Of specu-
lative opinion.
Texas now has eight announced
candidates for C%-vernor. with four
others believed probable entrants.
and at least one or two of the four
certain entrants in the race. And
several others are regarded as posi-
BILE candidates. while a flock Of
other men in a-d out of public life
are being suggested in various quar-
tiers.
The impressive thing about next
years campaign | that it already
has started. with at least two Of
the candidates are already making
speeches. Numerous candidates are
building up political organizations.
Another outstanding attribute Of
the coming race Is that the shadow
Of the n TVS destiny has been cast
squarely upon the campaign.
Apparently ii will be a newborn
party a year hence. or the old party
brought to a new stage by a renais-
since reaching back to early glories.
That Is, observers believe the re-
suit of next years elections Will
decide whether the democratic par
ty shall be n the hands Of new
leaders and shat b committed 10
new principles. or whether 1t will
survive the agitation and the upsets
OF the past national campaign and
remain recognizable as the party of
old.
SO far. the campaign promises to
hinge about the bitterness Of the
national campaign as fought out in
Texas last year. unless some indi-
vidual in the ra ; of who gets in
it will present an issue that will
substitute new fuel for the burned
out embers of that campaign.

give farms TO the peasantry.
At present the landlords have UNI

there are only 100000 people in the

One reason is that the soil is
poor. Another is that 1t H. inconl-
