	Waldemar Ager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Ager's prohibitonist beliefs and his fledgling newspaper career crossed paths for the first time when he became involved with a Norwegian temperance lodge in Chicago in the late 1880s.
		Ager would remain an avholdsmann (a teetotaler) his entire life, before, during, and after the decade-long period of Prohibition in the United States (other famous Norwegian-Americans involved with Prohibition were law-enforcer Elliot Ness and law-maker Andrew Volstead).
		Ager would be associated with Reform (both the newspaper and literal reform), for the rest of his life.

		Waldemar Ager was also a man of apparently inexhaustible energy.
		Ager also lent his support to a wide variety of liberal and even radical reform movements in the upper Midwest of his time, which sought to improve conditions for farmers and laborers.

		Ager wished to convey to a generation of Norwegian Americans rapidly distancing itself from its roots that it was at the same time when the Norwegian impulse was strong and fresh that they had made the most significant contributions to America.
		In 1916 when the original Norwegian version appeared it was precisely the patriotism of foreign-born Americans that was in question as the xenophobic hysteria during the World War I era generated heated anti-hyphen campaigns to eradicate anything that seemed foreign to the dominant Anglo-American culture.
		Ager admonishes his readers through the voices and actions of the Civil War soldiers to honor their heritage, and not reject it as the propagandists for "100 percent Americanism" advocated—only by doing so would they become good and patriotic citizens.

		A pastor is more or less expected to be a skilled speaker, but in addition, Mary's genuine enthusiasm about The Ager House hosting the exhibit is hopefully obvious from the photo.
		To start with, Elsebeth was a bit worried about how her cable patterns and garments in nature's colors would mix with the interior decorating style that was popular in Waldemar Ager's time - heavily patterned wallpaper and carpets in a multitude of strong, deep colors.
		The photographer, whoever she is, has managed to capture a typical Elsebeth Lavold class: Big smiles and deep concentration in a pleasant combination.
