Ford Will Bring. Them Back.
The following appeared a few
days ago in the State Register"
of Springfield. Ill.,:
Many are the stories of Henry
Ford and his popular automobile.

calls the best of the season, and
the facts in the case are true. It
happened in one Of the leading
churches of the city that the pas

AID FOR POLISH PEOPLE

Clothing is the principle thing
which the millions of suffering
people in Poland are in need of
this winter. and this is what all
the Lutheran churches of Anne
RIGA have undertaken to gather
an abundance Of. But there may
be many people who have no
clothing to give away. and still
would like to lend a helping
hand. Donations of cash will be
just as cheerfully accepted as
with that clothing can be pro-
cured and clothing is what the
Polish people need.
Remember that next Thursday,
Nov. 90, the goods will be ship
ped from Askov. Bring ). what
you wish to give either in cloth
ing or cash donations to the
Askov Hardware Co. store on or
before that date.

Surveying Proposed State Road.
Engineer p. F. Starry came to
Askov yesterday and together
with three or four helpers is
busy surveying the designated
state road to run west one mile
north of Askov, crossing Kettle
river and joining the Federal
highway. 1t is a short state
road being only four miles long
but will be an expensive affair
as there is to be a bridge with
a span of something over 200
feet. 1t is hoped that this road
will be put through next year.

Represented this week at the
National Conference in Chicago.
Last Saturday at the old Capt.
tol building in St. Paul, repre-
sentatives of nearly all the coun-
ty farm bureaus met and per-

common good of all.
The important link in this or
ganization is the local county as.
ISOLATION made up of men on the
land who know the need of our
basic industry-ag agriculture AND

him as an example Of what for
eign born person can accomplish
in this country and Of what value
he can be to his chosen country.
The afternoon meeting closed
with the singing Of the first two
verses of Star Spangled Banner.
At seven o'clock the service
men, their ladies' and parents
gathered in the basement of the
church for dinner and a good din
ner it was. The ladies had labor
ed diligently to do their best and
their efforts were surely appre-
ciated. Those who gave short
talks at the dinner table were:
Representative l.. c. Petersen,
Chaplains Rodholm and Sorensen,
DR.. P. N. Fenger. L. Mosbek. and
three service men, Hedge Kills
tofte. vice chairman Of the Askov
Post. American Legion, Peter
Hermansen and v. S. Petersen.
Representative Petersen said
that many of the soldiers may
have thought that the home
people did not show appreciation
Of their services and that the en-
thusiasm was gone when they re-
turned. but he explained that
this was due to their coming one
by one and for that reason this
homecoming welcome was ar
ranged If the service men had
all returned home in a body after
the Armistice was signed the
community would simply have
been upset with enthusiasm. !.
One Of the service men ex-
planned an incident Of how. when
q German battery had been
taken prisoners by the Ameri-
cans . doughboy stepped up to =
high German officer who was de-
corated with beautiful gifted
shoulder straps drew his pocket
knife and proceeded with the

ment. The captain looked at
him with desperate eyes and
shook his head violently. The
doughbqy continued his work UNI.
concerned and explained briefly
Il only want . souvenir"
Another service man said this
dinner reminded him Of when
they occasionally sat down to 1
good feed over in France. Some
times those good feeds were far
between and when they got to il
they ate 80 much that they felt
uneasy.
When Rev. Rodholm dwelt on
the question of who won the war
he said 'the Kaiser became
scared when it was reported to
him that the big stout army
chaplain. Alfred Sorensen, was
on the front and It frightened
and slackened the Germans con-
siderable. but the arms were nor
laid down before the Kaiser
heard that ] was ready to cross
the ocean"
DR.. Fenger said he was the
first man back-not from the
front but from prison! Tie
speaker did not meet up in UNI
form. presumably. due to the
fact that uniforms in the place
where he came from ore not AZ
popular nor Is pretty as the
kahki. They are very plain.
After his graduation, the doctor
said, he sailed on an Atlantic
liner as surgeon and there saw
the Importance and need Of
those who kept FIRE under the
steam boilers, and in behalf Of
the guests thanked those women
who on thia occasion kept Are
under the coffee boilers.

one of the socalled "goulash"
millionaires in Denmark, arrived
in Portland, Ore, a few weeks
ago so heavily loaded with money
that he decided to paint the
town red" He did this in a
rather conspicuous fashion, one
of his diversions being to shoot
revolver bullets into the furni-
ture of the hotel where he was
registered. He is now reposing
safely in the Portland Jail.
Bishop Visiting.
Bishop Bernt Steylen of Nor
way has arrived in this country
to take part in an international
religious congress at Philadel-
phia. The bishop will visit Min
neapolis later in the month to
attend the festivities arranged
there in connection with the fif-
tieth anniversary of the Augs-
burg seminary.
Coming to Play Ball.
A team of Swedish football
players is preparing to come to
this country next year to play
with several American clubs. De-
finite plans have not been ar
ranged, but it is understood that
the Swedes will attempt to ar
range plays in about ten of the
largest cities of the country.
Going to Texas.
Rev. ]. A. M. Rodholm, pastor
of the Danish Lutheran church
at Manistee, Mich, has accepted
an invitation to become pastor of
the congregation at Dannevang,
Tex, with the understanding
that he will assume his charge
on March 1. Mr.. Rodholm re-
Gently attended the festivities
incident to the 25th anniversary
of the founding of the Dame
wang settlement.
Castberg Coming.
Johan Castberg, president of
the Norwegian Odelsting. has ac-
copied an invitation from the
University of Minnesota to de-
liver an address to the faculty
and students of that institution.
Mr.. Castberg is expected in Min
neapolis late this month. Pre-
mier Gunnar Knudsen who also
had been invited to lecture in
the northwest, has sent word
that he is unable to leave Nor
way during the coming winter.
Left for HonOluls.
Arvid Lundstrem, a Swedish
hat manufacturer in San Fran
cisco, has left for Honolulu
where he will establish a branch
factory. He had heard, he said,
that the people of the Hawaiian
islands, were lust crazy about
American straw hats, and he will
be there to accommodate them.
Docks ct Phila.
"Frederik WILL" the Danish
American steamer which usually
docks at New York when arriv-
ing in this country from Copen-
hagen, was forced to anchor at
Philadelphia on its last trip be-
cause of the dock strike in New
York. 1t was the first time that
a European liner of any consider
able size had visited "old slow
town." and the appearance Of the
boat created quite sensation.

The homecoming celebration
for soldiers, sailors and marines
of this community which was
held at the church Sunday was
we'll attended, and was a success
throughout.
With such two men as Army
Chaplains Alfred Sorensen and S.
d. Rodholm as speakers it was
almost bound to be q success.
However it may be that Rev.
Rodholm was held too much in
reserve-being a local man--,and
was not given the opportunity
to give any lengthy talk. He. rs
we'll as Rev. Sorensen, undoubt-
eddy has many experiences to re-
late from army life, which would
be interesting to hear and per
haps he might entertain with
those here in Askov on some
other occasion. It was impos-
sible to crowd any more into the
meetings Sunday than was done
without making them too
lengthy.
1t was interesting to note that
in civil life~-before the war
Rev. Rodholm was Rev. Soren-
sens senior having been his in
structor, but this did not dis
courage the younger chaplain as
he said that he weighs down
more on the scale and was chap
lain Rodholm's senior in the serv-
ices. These two men are the
only ministers from the Danish
Lutheran church of America who
served as army chaplains during
the world war.
The afternoon meeting was
opened by the singing Of America
by the entire assemblage fol-
lowed by Battle Hymn of the
Republic after which Chaplain
Sorensen delivered the principal
speech of the day.
In order to understand what
it meant for soldiers to return
home the speaker took his audi.
ence through warfare in France;
he also spoke of what army life
was to the soldier as well as Ia
himself from the time Of entry
into the service up to the front.
Having much to do with the Gen.
soring of letters Mr.. Sorensen re.
lated some experiences from
there telling of how one soldie,
wrote to the folks back home ex.
planning that they had seen a
submarine on their voyage across
the Atlantic. The soldier wrote
something like this: Those subs
you know are below the water
they only have a pole sticking
up above and when she comes
near enough to our ship ! just
throws out a rope and lassos
her." Rev. Sorensen said he al.
lowed that letter to 60 thru for
if the enemy should happen to
see it they would surely be
frightened.
The speaker also told OF how
they spent Christmas at the
front, how the boys all helped
to decorate and that Christmas
eve was a real quiet and solemn
evlIi ing with the right spirit,
and this one Christmas had per-
haps meant more to many OF the
service men than any previous
Christmas.
Rev. Sorensen also said that Is
minutes otter the last shot was
fred on Armistice day--the
memorable Nov. II. l918-thA
boys asked their officers when
do we go home"
Senator A. S. Larson OF Sand
stone, was the second and last
speak-T>d during the afternoon
and in "a brief and concise man
ner smoke ON loyalty and disloyal-
tv to country. Mr.. Larson lauded
Senator Knute Nelson and placed
