dated July 20 carry the sad news
that the whole country is threat
ened by the effects of bad crops
due to a long continued drought.
1t is said that Strawberries cost
100 per cent more in Copenhagen
than last year, and this one Incl
dent illustrates the proportion
in the rise of prices for other ar
ticles. Present conditions in
Sweden seem to be comparative
ly satisfactory altho the de-
mands for joining the belliger-
ents are being made-~ith alarm
ing frequency of late. Travel
lers who returned from Norway
last week have informed this pa
per that conditions in their old
country are serious, but not quite
as bad as might be expected.
The prices of all commodities
have scared to fearful heights,
but there has been a correspond
ing increase in wages and sa-
laries.

THE TRIP TO LUCK

Next Saturday, August IS, is
the day the Askov Band and
many other citizens will make
the automobile tour to West
Denmark, Wis, where they will
be entertained by the Danish
young Peoples Society of that
place for two days.
1t has been decided to get an
early start SO as to arrive at our
destination by noon. We will
gather on the streets of Askov
at 5 a. m. AS it will require
about 30 minutes to get lined
up, it is anticipated to get ago
ing by $50. Get your cars we'll
filed up with gasoline and don't
forget to carry an extra casing.
1t is also planned to have all
the cars decorated and it has
been suggested that each driver
secure Pines and decorate his
car with same. This will be fit

ting to cars coming from Pine
County. Two flags on the front
of each car--on headlights-will
also add color to the scene and
if each car is decorated in the
same manner the effect will be
better. Uniformity counts. All
those who possess Askov penants
should not forget to place them
on their cars.
Many have asked for a chance
to secure a ride, but the band
can not provide for this. At
this writing room has just been
secured for all the band boys
and if there is room for more
others are welcome to get in on
it. We would suggest to those
who are anxious to make the
trip to interest other automobile
owners in going. At this writ
ing 2l automobiles have regis
tered on the trip.

PINE COUNTY FAIR

The dates for the 1917 Pine
County Fair have been set for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
September q, % and 20. This
change was recently made in
view of the fact that the bad
weather of the middle part of
the month may be escaped and
to give the newly elected secre-
tary more time in which to ar
range the many details pertain
ing to a good fair.
With good weather and the
united help of everyone in the
county there is no reason why
the 1917 fair should not be a
hummer. Plan now to attend
and bring an exhibit.
Address all communications to
