Ti*? is the FIMIS>.
■•This is theFor(r)i*t Prinie-evil:”
He murmurs and pines in the heather:
Te‘s the sturdy oak.
' his top-knet broke.
* ccl It known as “Old Pull To
gether."
This is the safe port in the storm
A refuse in all sorts of weather:
Old Neptune may roar.
His messengers soar.
If rooTl stick to “Old Pull togeth
er:"
’This is the Heaven of Rest:”
Around which all sinners will gather;
When you seek hand in hand.
Access t‘ the promised land,
Jus: follow your ’Old Pull Together:*
•Tliis is tweedledum and Tweedle
dee:"
His logic is balanced to the feather:
if y-<u're burdened with care.
And with troubles despair.
Just take them to ‘Old Pull Togeth
er/
• This i- the Man from Bitter Creek;
His hide is as tough as old leather:
H s the perfect tool,
in the Wickersham pool.
AH Hail to our Old Pull Together:*
"This is the man with the Big Stick:
Ac crator and writer so ctever:
His conquests he measure#,
By the rale of his failures.
And registers a< ‘Old Pull T>gether:'
This is the Pen (that) is mightier
than the Sword:"
When begged to surrender, cries
‘never:’
In glass house it labors.
Throws stones at its neighbors,
it's wielded 'by 'Old Pull Together:”
This i* the King of the knockers;*’
The man with the torpid liver;
Wish you to meet the devil.
Then stoop to bis level,
And ar/ue with ‘Old Pull Together:’
And no>. ur story mu3t end:"
It cannot go on forever:
There’s only one notion,
O? perpetual motion.
Its the Tongue of ‘Old Pali Togeth

THE NORWEGIANS
IN AMERICA
If aar anb nation ha? the right to
claim the discovery of America, it Is
th* Norwegians. The Icelandic eaga
records show pretty clearly that in
the year 1000 A. D Leif ErBcson
made a voyage to Vinland (as Amfti
oa wa* then called), and that subse
quent visits were paid by later ad-'
venturers
If there Is any question as to the
$apa records, there Is none whatever
as to the first genuinely Norwegian
settlers who came to this country.
These came from Holland tn 1609 as
seamen on the Dutch East India
Coai party’s ships, of which The
•‘Half Moon” was the flagship. Most
of these seamen had emigrated from
Norway to seek employment as ship
builders and seamen. Though these
early emigrants soon came to he e
garded as Dutch, the names of a
number of them among the early in
habitants of New Amsterdam are
sufficient indication cf their origin.
But the first immigration freon
Norway on a large scale began with
the arrival of a small sloop with a
: party of men, women and children
from Stavanger .Norway, about 1S10.
They settled at Jamestown. N. V ,
which is to this day largely Scandi
navian. Somewhat later in the cen
j tury Scandinavians moved farther
i west, and many took to farming in
IlMnois. where their descendants may
be found. From Illinois the stream
owed steadily to the North, into
I Wisconsin. Minnesota, and the Dako
tas.
Farming evidently made a strong
appeal to the Scandinavians, and it
. is rightly claimed that the Norweg
fans, at least have been a drtermin
ing factor in the agricultural deve
lopment (if the Northwest Some
idea cf their influence can be gained
when it is known that the total nuro
ber of Norwegians, or folk of Nor
r weeian decent in this country is a
bout two million. The population of
Norway is only two and a half mill
ions. And these two millions are
pretty well concentrated in the mid
dle and northwestern states. In pro
portion to the population. North Da
kota is now the largest Norwegian
Mate in the country.
Net ail Norwegians, of course, are
farmers. In Chicago alone there is
a Norwegian population larger than
that of any Norwegian city except
Bergen and Christiania; about seven
ty-five thousand.
In an occupational way. the Not
i wegians tn America are to be found
in nearly profession and walk of
| life; the church, the law, medicine,
schools (particularly technical
■ schools). They have practically tak
en ever to themselves the vast fish
ing industries of the Northwest.
And yet the Norwegian in parti
: cular. and the Scandinavian in gen
i feral. - is primarily a farmer He pur
sues in this country the calling that
he was accustomed to at home.
While he adheres to many of the
; customs of his native land, he is a
citizen who is ready to accept Amerf
can ideals and ideas.
Through his well-organized clubs,
societies and the church, he is able
to meet with his fellow-men and ex
; change ideas; his singing societies
i» particular have been of tnflnlte
• advantage to him, for these consti
tute a bond of genuine sympathy.
The Norwegian Singers’ League of
America, with over ten thousand
members, is a federation of all the
local singing societies in the coun
try.
