AsKOv, COUNTY, MINNESOTA THURSDAY, JANUARY
PROPOSING CREAM ROUTE TO
ASKOV CREAMERY

A number of farmers in Flem-
ing township are interested in
establishing cream route to the
Askov Creamery and have called
a meeting for Saturday night,
Jan. 26, at the Woodland school
house, 2 miles south of Bruno,
when the plan will be discussed.
Frank Olson was in Askov the
other day and talked with off,
GERS of the local creamery on the
matter. Mr.. Olson says that the
farmers on the proposed route
have become tired of individu-
ally shipping their cream to Su-
perior and are anxious to join
hands with the Askov Creamery
Association. They are all a dis
tance of five miles or more from
Askov so it is therefore deemed
desirable to have one man regu-
larly to make the haul. There, is
some talk of another proposed
cream route from Danforth
township.
Following is a list of those in
terested in the Fleming cream
route: Dick Kroone, Oscar John
son, Leon Monet, Nose Monet,
Albert Quick. Nels Brieland,
Frank Olson, Ed Rodenberger, F.

Birger Osland, a we'll known
Norwegian business man in
Chicago, recently commissioned
a captain in the United States
army, has been appointed assis-
tant to the military aide-de-camp
to the American legation in
Christiania.
The Danish government has
abolished the vice consulates in
Kansas and Iowa, and consular
business in these states will be
taken care of by the consulate in
Chicago. 1t is possible that a
few more vice consulates will be
abolished within a short time.
The Swedish Vega Club in
Brockton, Mass, which recently
celebrated it's twenty-fifth an
niversary, has dedicated a new
club house. Among the guests
at the dedication ceremonies
were Congressman Richard o.
ney and a personal represen-
tative of Governor Mccall of
Massachusetts,.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oesten Johnson
in Eau Claire, Wis, last week
celebrated their golden wedding
in the presence of a large num-
ber of friends. Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson who were born in Nor
way, are among the oldest
pioneers in that part of the Bad
ger state and have been closely
identified with the progressive
business of the city.
William Olsen, a Dane in
Washburn, Wis.,, has committed
suicide. He was 81 years old
and an apparently successful
real estate man and lumber
dealer. The motive leading him
to seek death is thought to be
blindness with which he was af-
flicted only a short time ago. 1t
seems as though Olsen in killing
himself used both rifle and
revolver.
At concert arranged last
week by the New York Globe,
the most conspicuous feature
was the singing by Martha Phil
lips, a Swedish soloist who was
most enthusiastically applauded.
The concert took place in the
Aeolian hall and was attended
by the elite of the music world.

A. O. Lindvig, proprietor OF
the Norwegian Pacific steam

unpleasant necessity of suing his
former San Francisco agent. c.

the agent collected for the line
without making payments to Mr..
Lindvig. The defendant in the
action has replied that the
money was due him for commits

courts decision has not been

The new Norwegian Atlantic
liner, Stavangerfjord, will be
ready for service some time this
month, according to an an
nouncement made at the ship
yard in Birkenhead, England.
The boat is about 5000 tons lar

The Danish Young Peoples
Society of 1905 in Minneapolis
which has been doing excellent
work along literary and other
cultural lines during the past
thirteen years, held literary
evening on January %. Several
of the members of the society
gave a brief address on certain
favorite books and told the
reasons why the books were
favorites. The example is
worthy of being initiated in
other Scandinavian societies as
being conductive to cultivating a
good taste and a wide under
standing of literature.
August Strindberg, one of the
most remarkable men Sweden
has ever produced, has immorta-
lized his name as author of more
than sixty novels, dramas, philo-
sophical and historical works.
While some of his books have
been translated and are known
to the American public, others
have never been read outside
Scandinavia. Now the Irving
Place Theater in New York is
presenting his Reformation play,
''The Nightingale in Witten-
berg which is much acclaimed
by the fastidious critics of the
metropolis. The play is built
upon episodes of Martin Luther's
life.
A report by the provost mar
shall general at Washington
shows that 24,663 Swedes have
registered for military service
in the United States. of these,
1924 were called, and 1855 ac-
cepted for service. 8,O63 Danes
registered, 1898 called, and SIC
accepted. Of Norwegians, 1858
were registered, 5000 called, and
1904 accepted for service under
the Stars and Stripes. These
figures include only men who
were born in the Scandinavian
countries-not members of the
second generation born in
America.

Swedish cabinet, Hjalmar Bran
ting, has resigned on account of
illness. His successor is F. w.

Sweden has increased II per cent

for the building of ships with a
total tonnage of 7OO,000.-Little
