Americans to Aid
In Swede Songfest

Three hundred vocalists, selected
members of the Swedish American
Choral Society, will go to Stockholm
on a specially chartered ship next Sum-
mer to take part in the national song
festival which will be held there in
connection with the Stockholm expo
sition. Nearly 10000 members of the
Swedish Choral Society are expected
to take part in the event and all OF
them will join in singing several spe-
cial numbers. according to the plans.
The festival will be held in the garoen
of Adolf Frederik School in the Swedish
capital. Plans for the exhibition proper,
which will display the countless con-
tributions of modern Sweden to the
improvement of home culture, are going
ahead rapidly. Buildings are already
under construction on the grounds, Dor

architects Is busy completing drawings
for the remainder. A large number

In 1927, for the first time since 1923,
Wyoming began again to mine nom

Yes, the ghost towns of the mining
West are coming back-and they are
bringing the glamour of the "old days
back with them.
GlamOrOus Days of YOre.
Perhaps there aren't any stories to-
day to equal the tales of those glamor-
Gus days when Gen. Grant and his
daughter Nellie went to Denver and a
20-foot pavement of solid silver bricks
each worth about 81 700, was laid from
stage coach to hotel for the feet of
the distinguished guests. Or the story
OF the English peer who, to celebrate
his acquittal for shooting a man who
laughed at his extremely English cos
tune, was host at a dinner that cost
$500 a plate. When the guests could
eat-and drink-no more, his lordship
called in every hackman in the city
and loaded him up with bottles of
champagne. For three days Denver
was treated to runaways, drivers saIut-
ing each other with pistol-like reports
of popping corks or playfully cracking
bottles on each others heads.

nance and glamour of the "old days"
are gone forever. They aren't. The

The habit of contentment is

There is no duty we so much

'as the duty of being happy. BY
being happy, we sow anonymous
benefits upon the world which
remain unknown even to our

closed, surprise nobody so much
as the benefactor. A happy man
or woman is a better thing to
find than 5-pound note. He or
