Form Life in Sweden Enjoyed By Visiting 4H Club Youth

which raised varied crops, he was
made a member of a Swedish
household of four persons. They
spoke some English, and drew him
into the community life about
them. He helped with the cows,
worked in the harvest fields and
mended fences, among many
other chores.
II was greatly impressed with
the unity of family life not only
in this part of Sweden, but also
in the other parts to which !
was assigned" he told me. Fam
lilies share their pleasures with
each other, join in communal &C
tivities together and linger over
the evening meal as a group in
stead of hurrying off to some
other activity from it, the young
people in one direction, the older
members in another. ..-...
Fourth Club leaders are not
volunteers, however, to the extent
they are in this country, but are
more often paid government
agents, who are apt to place more
emphasis on head and hand skills
and less on the health angle
than is the case with U.S."
Women Do Heavy Work.
Generally speaking, it was his
experience that Swedish farm
meals are not as we'll balanced
as they are in United States farm
ing communities.
There is an abundance of fish,
cheese and pork, few vegetables
and little fruit" he said. "SWed-
ish farm women apparently do
more of the actual farm labor
and less canning and preserving
than we do"
The Swedish custom of having
friends and neighbors in for get
togethers over coffee and cakes
greatly appealed to this young
American, who is a member of
the largest rural organization in
the world cover $4,000 clubs.
Swedish co-operatives, both
merchantile and farm, he feels,
have great merit as they are
worked out under systematized
and correlated supervision, and
help contribute to the general
prosperity. OF special interest
were long-term government aid
farm mortgages. which seem to
be beneficial in helping indi-
viduals of good character and
standing get started on farming
ventures.

which Charles Sperow worked was

Was Oldest Winner
Of Medal of Honor;

BY the Associated Pres,

LEAD, S. OAK, Mar. IL
Charles A. Windolph, 90, the Ma
tons Oldest Congressional Medal
of Honor winner. died here today
at the home of a daughter.
The old soldier served under 1t.
Col. George A. Custer in the ex-
peditionary force involved in the
battle of the Little Big Horn and
was awarded the Purple Heart for
a wound received during that en-
gagement.
With the death of Mr.. Win
dolph, North Dakota now has the
oldest living survivor of Clusters
expedition.
He is Jacob Horner, "a, of Bis
marck, who is alive today only
because his detachment of Gus
terS cavalry was unmounted and
fell day behind in the march
to the battle.
Custer split his regiment into
three forces shortly before en-
gaging the hostile Sioux en-
camped on Little Big Horn, one
each under Custer, Maj. Reno and
Capt. Benteen.
Mr.. Windolph was in Capt.
Benteen's III" troop. All three
forces fought on the Little Big
Horn on June Is, 1876, and Troop
II" was prevented by the In
dams from coming to Clusters
rescue. Only Clusters forces were
wiped out.
Mr.. Windolph was awarded the
Congressional Medal of Honor
for his heroism during the battle.
He was cited for volunteering to
expose himself to enemy fire
while his comrades obtained
water for the dying and wounded
from a waterhole between the
soldier and Indian ranks.
He got his Purple Heart a little
bit late. He was wounded on June
Is, 1876, and did not get his
Heart until his 95th birthday
in 1916.
Army records IN Chicago show
that Mr.. Windolph won the Medal
of Honor as a private with troop
H OF the 7th Cavalry. The medal
was issued October 5, 1878.
The citation says: with three
comrades during the entire en-
gagement he held a position that
secured water for the command"
Mr.. Windolphs experience with
Clusters command was the subject
of book, Il Fought With Custer"
by Frazier and Robert Hunt
(Scribners, 194D.
The book related that Mr.. Win
dolph was born December 9, 1851,
at Bergen, Germany, and fled the
country to escape the draft. He
arrived in the United States in
1870 and found the Army offered
the only available employment.
He enlisted at Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Hunts said Mr.. Windolph
was promoted to sergeant on the
battlefield by Capt. Benteen, who
also recommended him for the
Congressional Medal.
MIR. Windolph ran cattle after
his Army discharge, and then re-
turned to the Army as a civilian

Charles said.
S14 a Week Above Keep.
Here, he worked as one of the
hired men and was paid the same
wages as the others, about $l4 a
week after the deduction of room
and board. He slept in a bunk
house arrangement, which was
neat and clean, with two young
Danes for roommates. These boys
he greatly admired and respected
for they were trying to accumu
late enough to set themselves up
as small farmers in their own
country. He ate at the common
mess table and found the fare
good and wholesome.
My duties were no harder than
those I have shouldered often on
my fathers farm, and I found
the experience a valuable and
helpful one, for which I am very
glad. although it wasn't exactly
what had expected to encounter
when I left home" Charles said
with genuine sincerity.
! "Out of it, too, I got more or
less acquainted with the Swedish
language, although the Swedes
might not agree"
His third and last employment
was on a 15-acre farm with 200
acres of forest at Kungsbacka,
near Goteborg. 1t was the home
of one of the Swedish boys here

He was quoted by the Hunts as

brave soldier, too. There were
