Nobel was a passionate admirer
of belles-lettres and he kept close
track of Swedish literature, al
though he also took an interest
in writer's of other countries :.
He left his fortune for the ad-
vancement of those sciences and
arts which appalled, to him most
and with which he was most IA
miliar. Indeed, there are no Nobel
prizes for meritorious work in the
fields of history, jurisprudence,
music, painting, or architecture.
Instead, we have prizes for physics
and chemistry, which were his own
speciality; for medicine, which al
ways attracted his attention che
even tried to pursue medical in
vestigations) and for literature.
The fifth prize is designated for
services rendered in the cause of
peace and thus is also connected
with the main currents of his in
tellectual life ..
1t was four years after ne death
of Nobel that the first prizes were
given. Since that time and up to
the present war. cabled dispatches
appeared every December in the
newspapers of the world = first,
regarding the most likely candi-
dates for the literary prize. in
which particular in ere t was
taken everywhere. and, later, re-
garding the announcement of the
award itself. For each prize there
are invariably several candidates
sometimes as many as a dozen
Usually these persons were aware
of the fact that they were being
considered. Undoubtedly m n !
among them must have expert
enced great concern in those de-
cisive days, since the prize signi-
fled not only financial independ.
ence but world recognition as well
When the award was finally an
nounced, the laureate proceeded
to Stockholm. Unquestionably, the
week he spent in Sweden was one
of the happiest in his whole life
Never before had he felt so much
that he was the center of public

interest. All the Swedish papers
featured his pictures, and inter-
views with him and biographical
sketches of him were printed
It was also to the literary laur-
cate that the world press devoted
its main attention. The gist of his
address at the Stockholm banquet
was often sent by cable or wire
to the big newspapers all over the
world. while the Swedish press
printed it in full. In his native
country the winning of the Nobel
prize tended to increase his pres
tige and fame. Sometimes it even
created his fame. Paul Heyse, for
instance, or Sully-Prudhomme or
Grazia Deledda, certainly never
had enjoyed so much public atten-
ton as was accorded to them after
they received the Nobel award.
The case of the scientific laur-
Gates was different Never did
they acquire such popularity, for
what did the general public know
about them? At best, mere gen.
eralities concerning their discov-
cries. However, these laureates,
too, were cognizant of the fact
that now they were recognized by
the world at large. For a profess
sor to become a Nobel laureate
was a real promotion. From that
time on he could rest assured that
a chair in some institution would
always await him -.
During the last forty years many
a Nobel prize winner has left
Stockholm happy man; and many
of them left Sweden with a pro-
found love for that country. In
/ truth, the Swedes are an excellent
and noble people. However, when
they set themselves especially to
the privilege of extending hospi-
tal;ty, they are indeed above all
/ praise. AS a consequence, all Nobel
laureates are ardent Swedophiles
This, perhaps, is not devoid of g
certain cultural and political sig.
nificance. That remarkable Swede
who endowed the famous prizes
not only has brought happiness t.
SO many talented and worthy peo
pie in every corner of the world
but also has rendered a great serv

respect for it in the heart of civil

the American Labor Relief or
ganization set up offices in Swe-
den, the Gertrude" was pur-
chased to ferry hunted Norwe-
gians from southern and western
Norway to safety in Sweden. In
her unassuming way the little
ship had succeeded in rcscuing
over 5000 Norwegians, and re-
turning to Norway after each sue
cessful trip loaded with food and
supplies. With the wars end she
was turned over to Norway's CEN
trail relief organization to continue
her good work and for the past
months has been running errands
of mercy along Norway's Nazi-
leveled Arctic coast
In this particular trip the Ger
trude" carried a cargo in keep
ing with her romantic past. The
two tons of food, blankets, and
clothing now stored in her hold
had been been purchased in Nor
way at a time when those items
were still on the market. and had
been hidden away from the Nazis
in a secret store room at Oslo's

Swedish Films

For several years film has been
used on an increasing scale for.
educational purposes in the Swed-
ish schools. Great efforts have
been made to produce good films
on most subjects of general in
terest.
SweGen's leading producers of
school and educational films, ABB.
Svensk Filmindustri (SF), has es-
tablished large library compris-
ing no less than 1900 such films,
several hundreds of which are of
substandard size. This library in
cludes a large number of geo.
graphical and biological films,
showing for instance, how the
Lapps roam the northern wilds
of Sweden with h e ir reindeer
herds, fascinating snapshots of
the life of the bear, golden eagle
and other animals in the same re-
gions, etc. Other films depict the
life and struggle of the thou
sands of sea birds on the famous
birds islets which are located out
side the island of Gotland in the
Baltic, or the growth and develop
ment of a flower. Every Swedish
province has its own film illus
trating landscape, towns monu-
ments, etc. Some of the excellent
shots made by Prince Wilhelm
are included in the archives as
we'll as interesting ski-instruction-
al films, pictures giving informa-
ton about industries, social con-
ditions, etc.
The good standard of the Swed-
ish school film attracted attention
even outside Sweden before the
war, and recently renewed inter-
est in these pictures has been dis
played abroad. According to re-
ports in the Swedish press the
school authorities in Iceland have
signed a contract with the Svensk
Filmindustri Company for AZ
school films. Before the war the
Company had a substantial ex-
port of educational films and re-

1t has been quadrupled during the
war, due primarily to the swollen
defense outlay. The funds needed
have been raised entirely within
the country, and of the present
debt less than one half per cent is
placed abroad. Before the first
World War no less than 80 per
cent was thus placed, and as late
as 1920 one-third of the bond

Freezing Temperature
Recorded Over State

According to the Montana

port, rain fell nearly every day
during the week with the heav-
lest amounts falling in the gen.
eral storm period Friday

Most stations reported pre-
%cipitation from so per cent to
more than 100 per cent above
the weekly normal. Monday
morning on to Is inches of
snow covered the ground in
the central portion and part of
the northwest; however, most
of this snow had melted by
Tuesday morning.
With the exception of Friday

lures have been freezing or
lower each day over most of
the state. The first below zero
reading of the season, IS, was
reported at Cut Bank Monday

Damp Weather
Hats Harvest
Ample a Supply
Here: Formers Look
For Clearing Skies

Damp weather caused by the
recent rain and snow halted
the beet harvest in the Har-
din area again late last week
and for the first few days of
this week. Clear skies WedneS-
day brought hopes that the
Weatherman would give the
farmers a break and allow
them to finish their harvesting
operations.
The weatherman did not
promise clear weather, but in
stead forecast snow in some
sections east of the continental
divide.
L. R. Cool, Holly Sugar cor
poration official, stated this
week that the beet harvest was
but AZ per cent completed when
operations ceased last week.
He added that at present
there were Ga iaborers in this
area and so more were expect
ed to arrive in Hardin this
week. Laborers were unable to
get into the fields for five days.
The local sugar mill is run
ming here with beets being
shipped in.

Oil Explosion
Stops Glasses
High School Rooms
Covered With SCOT
From Oil Furnace

Glasses in the Hardin senior
high school were dismissed for
several days this week follow
ing the explosion of the heat
ing plant In the building. The
explosion was in the fuel oil
fire box of the furnace.
Windows in the furnace room
were broken by the blast and
all rooms in the entire building
were covered with a heavy
layer of SCOT. Children were
unable to sit at their desks.
Cause of the explosion was
unknown, but it was believed to
have been an accumulation of
unburned oil in the fire box
that was later ignited.
Wilbur Quirk, Insurance adj
juster, stated that the damage
was light, but the cost of
cleaning the building would be
several thousand dollars. A
score of vacuum cleaners were
pressed into service to clean
the desks and and floors of
SCOT.
