While the world's destiny was beini?
"hapeil la-t fall on the battle fronts of
France and Belgium, the trend of
event thtre formed the one important
topic cf conversation among the people
of Sweden, according to a letter jit
received by Hubert Rand, from his son-in-law.
Axel Rahm, native of the far
North country, who after a residence
of a num'ier of years here, returned to
his old home, Helsingborg, with his
w ife in li!0.
The letter, although written and
posted on November 4, was more than
two month en route. Mr. Kahm, whj
formerly tin'k an important part in
Hood Kiver business and civic affairs
and who remains a naturalized Amer
ican, writes :
"The onlv important thing or things
in the world today happen at the
'West Front', and that is where our
thoughts surely turn every newborn
day and still linger when our eyes
close in rest and sleep at night.
"The 'West Front', however, is net
the only thing about which milions of
the Swedish people are concerned.
They have, literally speaking, a front
of their own that causes considerable
trouble and the old, but ever new
question, is how to keep this front
comfortably filled up. With a big
majority of the people it has been a
game of near starvation the past 10
months, that is, until a new root and
potato crop came on the market. The
harvest in this part of the country was
finished some time ago, but owing to
the elongated geographical shape of
Sweden, from the couth coast, facing
the southern Baltic to the northern
boundary, away across the Arctic Cir
cle, the work of garnering the fruits
of the field requires many weeks.
The crops give promise of an average
yield. Earlier droughts and late frosts
in the spring, however, had given us a
most gloomy outlook.
"The rain began falling on June 24.
You can imagine what relief and joy
it brought, when 1 explain that our
crops would have utterly perii-hed if
the drought had continued for another
10 days, and with such condition mis
erable famine would have resulted.
Now, if those good things the United
States and England have promised
Sweden ariive safely the people can
look forward to another year with
some assurance of living. Some time
r.ext winter, if things hold out, we
may get a larger ration of bread, and
we havteven been promised some rice
and rolled oats or.ee in a while.
"Vv'e have the substitutes for every
thing we had in ante bellum days,
some very good, some imiitferent and
some we wish the kaiser had a fo. t
d iwn lis Ijing throat. The stuff has
a monopoly on j-verything in cwmec
tion with the manufacture ai d sale of
tobacco, but as early as last year the
stock of tobacco was getting low. Of
course a substitute had to be found, in
order that the smokers', the enulFera'
and chewers' money would continue to
flow into our ever yawning state tread
ury. Well the substitute came out in
three grades under the name of 'Extra
Smoking" printed on beautifully em
bellished containers in large flourish
ing letters. I bought a box of the
worst grade because 1 wanted to know
the worst at once.
"When 1 came home with my pur
chase Ltta (Mis. Rahm) was in the
kitchen and being somewhat curious 1
opened my treasure and stuck my ol
factory ore.nn to the goods. 1 will not
tell you what I said. You wouldn't
understand it anyway fur it was bad
Swedish. But have you ever smelted
a combination of limhtirger cheese and
asafetida? If the Swedish government
will give me a license 1 will export
you a box of Grade No. 3 tor your
chickenhouse. It will keep vermin
and skunks away. While Etta was
still in the kitchen and my expecta
tions and senses aroused to an alpine
pitch I thought the time opportune tt
try the stutF. I did. That happened
some five months ago and now thanks
to my strong constitution I am now
past, ttie convalescent stage. 1 am
now smoking cherry leaves, rose petal
and lavender blossoms as a substitute
for the substitute. You might send
me a few pounds of real tobacco by
the next tteamer leaving for Europe.
'"Last winter the restaurants were
notified that they could have no more
flour made from any kind of grain for
making pastry everything was reeded
for our daily war bread. But a substi
tute soon made its appearance and the
sale of delicate cream puffs and muffins
went on aa briskly as ever. The flours
used in their manufacture was made
from finely ground acorns and wood
pulp. The government sanctioned this
substitute. They say it is fine eating
when mixed with cream, eggs and
sugar. Horses and cattle are exten
sively fed on ground woodpulp.
'Multitudinous coffee and tea sub
stitutes are on the market, the deriva
tives of which would puzzle the
kaiser's own partner.
"In the established order of things
money has for centuries been consid
ered as one of the most desirable sub
stance to possess, but it has come to
pass under this abnormal strain that
money is not the almighty agent it
once was. The primitive medium of
barter has returned. 1 have no use
for any kind of spirits. Now it hap
pens that all kinds of distilled liquors
are portioned out by the government,
and two quarts are all that one can
get every three months. All respecta
ble male citizens and a few women
have a little hook that might be called
their public liquor tally. You can un
derstand how valuable a trading ob
ject a bottle of liquor is. One makes
a trip out in the country on his bicycle,
duly prepared, and comes back with
something good to eat. Next in trad
ing value comes coffee, tea. coal oil,
tobacco and sugar. With these artides
one can get some real substantial grub
out in the country.
"But hope springs ever anew in the
human breast. The least ray of light
coming out of the Stygian darkness,
which for four long years has envtl
oped the spiritual and moral world
tends to keep alive our flickering faith
that right will triumph and that free
intercourse between nations will be
resumed and the hungry fed. Such a
flash of light struck tormented human
ity on the 18th day of last July" at first
feebly but ever gaining in strength
and brilliancy, until at last the powers
of darkness and hell were driven back.
We have often heard that we have to
look to the East for light, but the
peoples of Scandinavia have for these
four long years kept their faces to the
West, the free, enlightened and dem
ocratic West. The first ravs pene
trated the dnrkriess on July 18. Our
con Hue nee was restored, as they grew
mors brilliant, and we knew that the
modern Attila and his bloody Huns
would be made to eat the dust and beg
tor mercy, ine r'otsdam monstrosity,
the Teutonic hydra, which for mote
than a score of years has kept the
world in fear and trembling, is about
to he divested of its baneful influence
and I hope, nay we hope, millions uf
the world s tormented peoples, that
when the time comes justice shall be
meted out to Wilhelm II, ex-king c.
Prussia, ex-emperor of Germany, arch
enemy of humanity and humbug of all
humbugs."
Mr. and tors. Rahm are members of
the Swedish chapter of the American
Red Cross, the headquarters of woii h
are at Stockholm, he states that the
chapter has had flourishing year. i

present.
Mrs. Susie Lynn, installed for the
third consecutive time as Excellent
Chief of the Sisters, delivered an
address of welcome. Other numbers

TELEPHONE RATES
WILL BE CHANGED
J. E. Smithson, manager of the Ore-
gno-Washington Telephone Co., has
heen notified by the government of a
change in long distance rates, elec
tive, January 21.
Under the new schedule long dis
tance calls are based on the distance
between points on an air line, tht
rhi.rge being five cents for each six
;iults up to a distance of 4(1 mih's, an.',
then five cents for each eight m Us
when the call is to a point distant
more than 40 miles. Calls of this
character up to 25 cents are for a five
minute conversation, and over 25 cents
the calls are for a three minute con
versation, thus penalizing the custom
er who talks the longest. This chaige
is made when a customer calls for a
station, calling for a particular indi
vidual being one-fourth more, while a
call for a messenger at the other end
is one hall more.
During the Year
1918
Tbe war occupied the attention of all real
Americans; thoughts of profit and self were
forgotten, and all were dominated by the one
purpose of making the world a decent place
for decent people to live in.
1919
Finds the Huns whipped to a frazzle, our boys
returning to their homes, and life again re
suming an orderly course. Americans have
much to be thankful for.
