D. 1000? Did Adam of Bremen write a book in 1075, telling about Vlnland, "the new land to the west"? Was Eric Upsi in 1112 appointed by the Vatican bishop of Iceland, Greenland and Vlnland? Did King Christian of Norway and " Denmark send an expedition to the mouth of the St. Lawrence in 1472 under Admiral Dldrik PIfilhf? Did Christopher Columbus visit Iceland In 1477, there learn of the existence of the land to the west and rediscover that land in 1482? Did Norsemen cross the American continent from Hudson bay to Puget sound almost 500 years bef, fore Columbus landed on San Salvador? Very likely. Certainly a great many Norse-Amer-' leans believe that the answer to the foregoing historical questions is "Yes." These Norse-Americans, however, for the purposes of the Norse-American centennial to be held June 6 to 0 in the Twin Cities, reckon the Norse immigration to the United States to have begun with the arrival of the Norwegian sloop Restaurationen in New York harbor October 9, 1825. Minnesota thinks well of her cltUens of Norse blood, as may be seen by a concurrent resolution adopted by Its legislature, which is in part: *36tfts6or Jfenrik. d&jpsiegxfi 7arsn&T Jesmtor*, J£a&ziz<s Johnson. •fts >|M« USKIDE for United States Rubber Company WE WILL SELL OBRMAK GOT • RMMINT TBBASUBT S-ltft as.

Industrious and thrifty people; have taken a deep interest in our social, religious and political activities; have been prominent in educational lines, In science, In art and literature, and in every branch of Industry, but above all ««ve shown themselves to be publicspirited and most loyal American cltlaens: Now, therefore, be It resolved, That we do hereby extend to the President and the people of the United States; the governor general, the premier and the people of the Dominion of Canada; hla majesty *he king, the government, the storthing and the (people of Norway; the primate and the people *>f Iceland a most cordial Invitation to attend and participate In the said celebration. It appears that Secretary of State Hughes sent trot invitations in conformity with this action of ! <he Minnesota legislature. Anyway, the guest list of the celebration carries at the its head the names of President Coolldge and Airs. Coolldge, Prince Olaf of Norway, Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg and Mrs. Kellogg, I»rd Byng, governor general of Canada, and Lady Byng; MacKenzie King, premier of Canada; H. H. Brysn, Norwegian minister to the United States; Lauritt S. Swenson, American minister to Norway; Bishop Johan Lunde of Oslo, Krlstine Bonnevie, Norway's greatest woman scientist, and delegations from the Norwegian storthing and from both houses of the American congress. President Coolldge has tentatively accepted the invitation and his address has been scheduled as the feature of "America Day," June 8. That day a living Norwegian flag, formed by 500 children of St. Paul, will at a signal transform itself into the Stars and Stripes of America. The centenary will open on Saturday. June 0, with conventions of the thirty-two Norwegian dans or Bygilelags." There will be a reception at the state capitol in St. Paul, with six Norse-Americangovernors and their wives in the receiving line Religious services on June 7 will take on the aspects of a great musical festival, when Norwegian choruses from Canada, Norway and the many Norwegian colleges and singing societies of the United States will combine in the singing of hymns Representative O. J. Kvale of the Seventh Minnesota district delivered the invitation to congress in an address in the last session. He's the man who defeated A. J. Volstead for the Sixty-eighth congress. He's an "Independent," a minister and an A. M. of the University of Chicaso H? ' *pr. M. tf, CHICAGO, MO. 22-1«2fc bom in Iowa, as were his father and grandfather. He is a member of the board of education of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America. Here 8fe some of the things he said about the celebration ; The hundredth anniversary of the real beginning Of Norse Immigration to the United States will this year be observed in many places; it will be" celebrated In every community In the United States Where the Incoming Norwegians have settled and established themselves and where their descendants are now to be found In numbers, notably In Chicago and New York city. The largest and the principal one, however, is the celebration which will be held at the Minnesota State Fair grounds, officially known as the Horse-American centennial. Informed and impartial observers declare it will he the greatest celebration In the history of the Northwest. Representatives chosen from each Norwegian organisation--ethnic, religious, fraternal, social, civic--organized the corporation which has arranged for the event. It has gained in popularity and appeal away and beyond the original plans of Its promoters and sponsors. Five neighboring States have also, through their executive departments, urged support and co-operation on the part Of their citizens. Civic bodies stand solidly behind the event; church denominations are indorsing It; Norwegian organisations In foreign countries will ftarticipate and will send delegates and representatives to the centennial. Notables In large numbers will address, the assembled gatherings; prominent men will stress the important achievements of the Norse-Americans 1b all activities; exhibits and pageants will graphically describe them; musical organisations will at the same time exhibit and entertain. I am well aware that to some of you gentlemen the prefix "Norse," or any prefix, may seem to Indicate something not purely and truly American. If the prefix In this case implied anything even faintly suggesting such a possibility, I would he the first to repudiate It In the most emphatic and unqualified terms. And I know that In making this statement I do so with the unanimous approval of all the people here concerned. Americans who trace their ancestry to the Vikings of old are proud of their lineage, but doubly proud of their American citizenship; and they cla<m aa pure and as unadulterated an American patriotism as that possessed by any other group of citlsens of this country. It matters not what European land Is designated by them as the mother country. Without apologizing, we are this year celebrating the Norse-American centennial, and we do so In .•fateful remembrance of our forefathers and In 'recognition of what thqae Immigrant* have done for us and for our country. The Restaurs tionetw brought 53 Norwegian Immigrants. This was the first shipload of Norse people to emigrate to the new land of the free across the Atlantic. The project was arranged by Kleng Peerson--sometimes known as Cleng Pearson-- that romantic frontier figure, the Daniel Boone of tfie Norweg* ins. He had been in the United States and had covered the primeval West in his wnnderl*-?s; he returned to Norway with hlR wonderful tales of the possibilities and the opportunities that awaited his fellow countrymen In America, organized the expedition, and assisted In the purchase of the little sailing vessel. The sloop sailed from Stavanger harbor, Norway, July 182f», and reached New York after a long and •lormy passage. This single event marks the beginning of the Steady and swelling stream of Immigration from Norway. Norway has sent to America a larger proportion of her population than any other countiy with the exception of Ireland; her sons and daughters here total in excess of 2,500,000. That Is equal to the actual population of Norway, which, ••cording to the last census, was 2.649,775. It was- Kleng Peerson who arranged f<y the reception of the Restaurationen's passengers by providing for them the settlement at Kendall, N. Y., the colony which he founded. His work in establishing colonies in the Northwest and the Southwest was interrupted by three return voyages to Norway. He died at the ripe age of eighty-three years, in Bosque county, Texas, in 1865; and he lies today in Norse, the heart of the last settlement founded by him. The story of his life and his wprk is a true epic. Others were ready to carry on the work he .had begun, Hi the first years n e a r l y a l l i n c o m i n g groups came first to the Kendall settlement and then pushed onwurd. Of these one group established themselves in the Fox River settlement in Illinois, founded in 1834 by Peerson. This was the first permanent Norse settlement in the Middle West. Another group settled In 1838 on Jefferson prairie, near Belntt, Prom this time on, in everincreasing numbers, these early Norwegian settlers crossed the sea. trumped out through the strange country and founded their settlements, on Rock prairie and Koslikonong in Wisconsin, in Winneshiek county in Iowa, and later in southern Minnesota and the two Dakotas. Kleng Peerson and his sturdy countrymen will live again at the centennial celebration. Col. Hans C. Heg, commander of the Fifteenth Wisconsin Regiment of Volunteers, a Civil war regiment made up almost entirely of Norwegians, will once more carry into battle the flag that bore on one side the Red, White and Blue of America and on the other the Red. White and Blue of Norway. For on "Norse American Day," the closing day of the gathering, the beloved heroes and heroines of Norwegian pioneer days will take part in a great historical pageant In which the Norwegian leve of the dramatic and the picturesque will embellish the story of frontier days. Dr. Knut GJerset of Luther college heads the. exhibits committee and has planned to divide the exhibit into twenty-two departments as follows: Pioneer life, church, schools, farming, press litferature, men In public service, art, charity an£ mutual aid, women's department, societies and oiS ganlzations, music, engineering and architecture, trade and commerce. Norwegian ski sport it America, men in the medical profession, labor, sons of Norway, daughters of Norway, industries, builders and benefactors and Norse-Canadian exhibits. In recognition of the nation-wide observance of the centenary, the federal government has authorized the issue of special stamps, to be printed In two colors, a 2-cent stamp bearing the picture of the sloop Restauratlonen and a 5-cent stamp decorated with a Viking ship. A Norse-American cenlenhial medal, the first commemorative medal to be issued in the history of the mint, has also 4^een authorized by the government. The Norse-Americans, because their large property holdings and common Interests gave tliem the Incentive for group action, have elected public officials of their choice in national as well as In state and local offices. Of the large number of public servants--state legislators, judges, governors, representatives, and senators--without question the best known is the late Knute Nelson of Minnesota, that rugged, sincere, determined, faithful figure whom everyone grew to love und admire in his many years of honest service in the house and In the senate. He was born In Norway. Henrik Shlpstead, the Farmer-Labor senator from Minnesota is a "native son," having been born In 1881 in Kandiyohi county-. He was elected in 1022, receiving 325,372 votes against 241,833 for Frank B. Kellogg, Republican, now secretary of state. Magnus Johnson, the Farmer-Labor senator from Minnesota, who was so often In the limelight during his short term of office, was born in Varmland, Sweden. He was elected In 1923 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Knute Nelson, defeating Gov. J. A. O. Preus. Theodore Christianson succeeds Preus as governor. "I am not willing to concede even the suggestion of a superior brand of Americanism to him who may trace his ancestry to the Europeans who first drove the Indians back from the Atlantic seaboard," said Representative Kvale. "At best, It Is merely a question of a few generations. And true Americanism is no more a matter of years and centuries, nor of language and customs, than Is true Christianity a matter of latitude and longitude. Both are a state .of the heart und of the Inmost soul. I claim, without the slightest fear of successful contradiction, that of all the peoples that have contributed their quota to the making of this nation, no more law-abiding men and women have set foot on American soil tlian those who during the past century embarked for these shores from the rock-bound coast of the northwest peninsula of Europe." %astFoam , , V •• ** * Bread mating is easy to • tod is an ,, ^ t ~ ^^ r education in Other cookings '* Send for free booklet *The Art of Baking Bread" mam Northwestern Yeast Cow v •. 1730North Ashland AwSk 5't.

Let Tanlac restore your health -.3 Growth Affected by Periodic Sun Spots Many million miles separate the spots on the sun from a rabbit, but scientists declare that there is a connection between them and that the periodic changes in the number of dark masses on the sun's surface partly explain certain facts concerning the growth of plants and animals. Records of the spots have been kept [or 150 years and It has been found Mcreeee.- m mixlraum about every 11 yean, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. This high point Is accompanied by a low-temperature period on the earth, it Is said, while fluctuations in atmospheric pressures, rainfall, tracks qC storms in North America and the rate of growth of the redwood trees are all declared to'correspond to the changes In the sun-spot numbers. Kecords kept by the Bu&a't Bay company since 1845 are said to show that the number of rabbit skins received reaches a high mark at a time when the sun spots are at a minimum. The sunlight Is believed to have a di-* rect influence on one of the vltamlnes in the food the animals eat and thus affects their numbers. Due to a climate fluctuation of unknown cause, every three and one-half years, a small arctic animal, known as the lemming, attains vast numbers and hordes of them migrate to the lowlands and even Into the sea, dying by J the thousands as they plunge frantically Into the water.
