CELEBRATION OF MR.. AND
MRS. S. CHR. DlXEN'S
SILVER WEDDING.

Why did we as we'll as approx
imately two hundred other resi-
dents of Askov and vicinity
attend the celebration of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. Chr. Dixen's silver we'd
ding? This is a question which
has, perhaps not arisen III many
minds. Nevertheless it is a ques-
tion which we find it is quite inn
possible to answer in words. We
might say that it is an endeavor
of the community to impress up
on this couple the high respect
in which they are held. People
came from far and near and
many neglected work in order to
attend which goes to show that
the excellent personality of Mr..
and Mrs. Dixen has created a
sense of love and feeling for
them which could not be re-
sented; a feeling that could be
partially illustrated in the hearty
hand shaking that was much evi-
dent.
Early Tuesday afternoon the
guests began to gather at the
assembly hall and at about three
o'clock they repaired to the well
and delicious laden tables. Sew
eral appropriate and some Of Mr..
and Mrs. Dixen's favorite songs,
as we'll as one written by home
talent, were sung. Speeches were
made by Rev. kr. Andersen, DR..
P. N. Fenger, Messrs. Niels Brus,
R. S. Rasmussen, Jorgen Poulsen,
Rasmus Pedersen, Ludwig Mos
back and S. Chr. Dixen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixen were the
recipients Of a few presents as a
| further token and remembrance
from the community.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixen have ex-
perienced the hardships cf the
pioneer days. They were mar
ried in 1891 at Clinton, Iowa,
where Mr.. Dixen then worked
as carpenter. The following
year they tried their luck at
farming near Erwin, S. D., but

POTATO TUBER
DISEASES

The average yield per acre of
potatoes in the United States is
not more than half of what might
reasonably be expected. This
shortage is attributed to varie-
ty of causes including numerous
diseases, a lack of we'll adapted
varieties, to cultivate intensively
and neglect of crop rotation.
Potato diseases are an import
ant factor in reducing the value
of the crop. The use of disease
infected seed such as common
scab is caused by parasitic or
ganism and is closely related to
certain soil inhabiting bacteria.
Lime, fresh stable manure and
wood ashes promote scab, Rem
edy! Soak potatoes before plant
ing two hours in solution Of |
pint of formaldehyde to 80 gal
ons of water, or 4 ounces cor
rosive sublimate to 80 gallons
of water and not planting
more than once in a 4 to five
years rotation.
Powdery scab, a new type
caused by a parasite different
from that causing the common
scab, has recently been intro

HawIey Paints Travel Picture Of
Five Years Hence for Wanna
maker.

NEW YORK, April 9.--Rodman Wana-
maker has made public the letter re-
reived by him from Alan r. Hawley.
president OF the Aero Club of America,
In which the executives of the organiza-
tion pledge Its support for his coming
attempt to fly across the Atlantic Ocean
in new monster aeroplane. The let
ter expresses the fullest confidence that
the project will be entirely successful
1t says in part
THE Aero Club of America Is highly
fiattcred at the proof you have again
given OF your confidence I'm its ability
to aid in this great undertaking and
bcgs to assure you Of its hearty CO.
operation and desire to assist in every
way possible.
ITO conquer space and time so thor
oughly that the ocean becomes but h
span. one days travel. is a wonderful
thing indeed. The first year may see
cnly that one flight: the second year
may see only five flights: but in the
third year the flights may number fifty.
and thereafter flying across the Atlantic
will be as common as flights OF squad
rons of aeroplancs across the English
Channel. which today, seven years
after the first flight was made are
by the press.
Spanning continents like railroads.
bridging seas like ships, going over
mountains like a hird-the aircraft
bring the elimination OF frontiers and
The physical connection of nations.
The placing OF the order for this
huge aircraft by you is a material
step toward placing American aero
hautics where 1t belongs ahead OF
the entire world
From the standpoint ot national
defense your project is also especial
ly valuable, as II affords the possi-
bility of very important addition to
oar defenSes. Ii Is particularly COM
inondable os you are paying for the
cost OF ar experiment which should
be paid for by our Government. II
will be the first step toward regular
