President Lauds Norsemen in Address at Fet GIVES PRAISE FOR PART IN BUILDING U.S. Commends Scandinavian Im- migrants for Contributiog to American Life COUNTRY IS THANKFUL Declares Nation’s Success In National Unity Is Ex- ample to World Minneso‘a State Fair Grounds, June 8.—(AP)—America’s suc- cess in fusing national unity from its melting pot of: diverse racial elements points the way for fraternity and cooperation among peoples on ‘a world-wide aczle, President Coolidge declar- «( today in an addres at the Norse-American Cen.ennial, “If fraterni: and coopera- tion,” he said, “are possible on the scale of this continent among pecple so widely diverse, why not on the scale of the world? I feel it is possible of. realization. 1 am convinced that our national siery might somewhat help to guide mankind toward such a goal.” The President told his au- dience that in the midst of “loy- elties that are all beyond posst- bility of question” it was “dif- ficult to choose among the many national and racial groups (nat have sought out America for their home and their country.” “We are thankful for all of them, and yet more thankful that the experiment cf their common citizenship has been so magnifl- cently justified in its results,” he said. “If one were seeking proof of, a basic brotherhood among all races of men, if one were to challenge the riddle of Bobcl in support of aspirations for a unity capable of assuring pease to the nations, in such an inquiry 1 suppose no better tes- timony could be taken than the oxperience of this country. “Out of the confusion of tongues, the conflict of tradi- tions, the variations of historical setting, the vast differences in talents and tastes there has been evclved a spiritual union accom- panied by a range of capacity and genius which marks this na- tion for a preminent destiny. Tle American people have com- manded the respect of the world. The text of President Coolidge’s address follows: “How often in the affairs of this world a small and apparently insig- nificant occurrence turns out to be an event of great importance, cagry- ing in its train a mighty influence for good or evil: Such importance always flows from the character of those concerned. The generations of the earth treasure the rude hut that sheltered the infancy of Abraham Lincoln, seek out the birthplace of Shakespeare, and give to the unin- viting soil of Palestine the title of the Holy Land, all because certain obscure happenings in those places produced those who left a broad mark upon the future course of hu- manity. ‘The character of the parti- cipants brought future fame. It is such @n event that we meet to com- memorate today. One hundred years ago a little bark sailed’ from Norway to America. It was almost unnoticed at the time, save for the daring and hardihood of its mavigators, but it brought with it the representatives of a stalwart race, men-and women of fixed det nation, enduring courage and high charketer, who were to draw in their retinue a long line of their , fellow countrymen destined to change the face of an area broad as an empire direct the historic course of sovereign States and contribute to: the salvation of a great nation. These mighty works have been wrought because those Norwegian immigrants were well worthy to follow in the wake of the Pilgrim and Cavalier. This celebration is most happily identified with the present year, which is an anniversary of notable events and in the history of our country. We are rounding out a century and a half from the begin-| © ning of the American Revolution. It was a half a century from the days of Concord and Lexington to the beginning of that stream of im- migration from Norway which was to help guarantee that the spirit of freedom which had been so triumph- ant in the Colonies should not be lost to the States. Contribute Their Portion When we consider the astonishing number of immigrants which the Scandinavian countries have contri- buted in proportion to their own population to making the body of merican citizenship, we will appre- ciate the significance of this anni- versary. It well deserves the con- sideration it is reeeiving here in this State which has so richly profited by a larger proportion of this north- of-Europe immigration than any oth- er Commonwealth. Minnesota would not be Minnesota, the group of im- perial northwestern States would not e what they are, but for the con- tribution that has been made to them by the Scandinavian countries. Because of a profound apprecia- tion of that contribution and of its truly national value I have found it an especial pleasure to come here and join in this commemoration. In the midst of loyalties that are all beyond possibility, of question, it ma~ be difficult to choose among the many national and racial groups that sought out America for their (Continued on page two) e home PRE U.S. BALLOON FORCED DOWN IN BIG RACE Five Other Bags iteported To Have Landed; British Flyer Injured Brussels, June 8.—(AP)-—One of the two American balloons entered in the Gordon Bennet cup race, the $-14, piloted by Lieuts, Flood’ and McCormick, landed safely at 3:30 this morning, near Treport, France, 17 miles from Dieppe.

MORTGAGES ON CROPS FEWER THAN YEAR AGO Further indication of the better financial condition of farmers gen- erally in Burleigh county is found in the lesser number and amount of crop mortgages being filed with the register of deeds than were filed last_year. While a large number of such mortgages to be cleared up from this year's crop are being filed, indica- tions are that the amounts run small- er and that the grand: total of such mortgages will be considerable small- er. Less crop mortgage renewals are also being filed than a year ago, in- dicating that last year's crop aided a great many farmers in cleaning up back indebtedness. : The general situation seems to be that, while last year's crop aided farmers in getting out of debt, an- other good crop this year is needed to “pat them on their feet.” A NEW FORD JOKE London, June 8.—The_ Fissing Show says that Henry Ford was much jnterested in the British empire exhibition at Wembley and asked a friend to write him an ac- count of it.
