Dagny and Agnes Poulsen left
last week for Des Moines, Iowa,
where the former will attend
Grand View College.
Miss Sine Overgaard came here
last week from Des Moines, Ia,
and is visiting at the home Of her
sister, Mrs. Mis- Kyhl.
Louis Olsen and S. P. Sorensen
purchased last week a forty Al
miles south of town from Elmer
Ingemansen of Hampton, Iowa.
NieIs Henriksen and his two
sons, Andrew and Henry have
raised potatoes, the Carmen No.
3 variety, on about 80 acres this
year. They are digging and
hauling to town now and they
estimate that the yield will aver
age at least It's bushels per acre.
Roadmaster r. S. Rasmussen is
busy these days building a half
mile road between sections 25
and 26 and the complete mile be-
tween sections 26 and 35 which
is about 5 miles east of town.
There are 8 men and 6 teams on
the job and they are making
rapid progress. If the weather
is favorable the whole job will be
completed within three weeks.
This road adds more territory to
Askov; the farmers like it, the
business men like it and every
body likes it. Good roads are a
very good asset to any communi-
| ty. 1t raises the value of our
property and is a good, sound
investment.
l.. c. Petersen returned last
Thursday from his trip out west
where he had been as a member
of committee of three Of
"Dansk Folkesamfund" to look
up a suitable location for a new
Danish colony. Mr.. Petersen
was gone about seven weeks and
during that time visited many
places in the states Of South
Dakota, Montana, Colorado,
Washington, Oregon, California
and New Mexico. He says they
enjoyed their trip immensely, but
did not find place which they
all agreed on would be suitable
for a colony. They will report
their findings to ''Dansk Folke-
samfund."
Now that the base ball season
has passed, basket ball and other
indoor sports are again in order.
Our basket ball sports got an
early start but we wouldn't call
it a very good one. They went
down to Grasston Saturday and
were defeated by score of A to
I18. The first half was fairly
even, the score standing 20 to ID
in favor of Grasston, but in the
last half the Grass boys" went
to it hammer and tongs and made
the final result one sided affair.
The Askov boys lined up as fol-
lows: Axel Jensen, center; Al
bert johnson, left forward;
Helge Kilstofte, right forward;
Elmer Poulsen, left guard; Henry
Andersen, right guard.

Emerson Farm Tractor Monday.
1t is the first farm tractor brought
to this vicinity and the work that
it is able to do will be watched
with interest. The engine itself
is 20 horse power but as it re-
quires about 8 horse power to
pull the machine the actual
drawing power is about II horse
power. Either a plow or disc
can be attached to it and it can
be used for several other pur-
poses. Mr.. Johansen will un-

yank out some of the stumps on
his land.

man fell back, limp. and the farmer,
with the torpedo in one hand, grasped
at the gun on the ground and straight
ened up.
He had no sooner risen than the
man was at him again. His uncon-
sciousness had been merely feigned.
The struggle was renewed.
At that point, the hedge down the
road parted and Del Mar stepped out.
A glance was enough to tell him what
was going on. He drew his gun and
ran swiftly toward the combatants.

ever have suspected that foreign

Just under such a cover that the ne

where they were attaching q pair OF
wires to the planking.

who was evidently lookout.
The men stopped work Immediately
and hid in the brush. Our car passed
over the bridge and we saw nothing
wrong. But NO sooner had we gone
than the men crept out and resumed
work which had progressed to the
point where they were ready to carry
the wires OF an electric connection
through the grass, concealing them as
they went.

The man saluted and went out

Del Mar gave orders to the other man
who also saluted and left the house by
the front door, Just as our car pulled

Del Mar, the moment the man was
gone, put on his hat and moved to-

about to enter when he heard some
one coming down the hall to the study

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

One of the prosaloon arguments in
high license states is that the liquor
traffic helps maintain the public
schools. A Nebraskan newspaper Mt
tingly replies thus: Yes. that Is true,
but it does more than that. 1t main
tains a school system of Its own.
While the little boys are being gath
cred into the public schools where
they are trained to read. to write and
to think, the young men are being
gathered into the private schools or
the liquor traffic. the saloons. where
they are trained to swear, to tell lewd
stories and to drink.
THE public school takes the boy,
builds up his intellect and trends him
towards high character and GOOD

 Good Leos or Crutches.

Professor O'Shea's article, in which he speaks of parents who fail to help their children by helping them too much, points out a common weakness It is easier for all of us to tell some thing than to teach it. So 1t Is easier to tell the boy who wants to use the word ordinary" how to spell it than to give him the help that means he will be able to spell the word again himself But what will he do when he wants to use the word some time when no one is by to help him? He Is not really learning his lesson any more than a child would be learning to walk who never let go his mothers hand. The boy or girl who leans always on some one else may get through this work, but he is not getting an educa- tion.
