FARM BUREAU UNIT
ORGANIZED AT ASKOV

About 35 men met at the town
hall Monday evening and organ
lied local unit of the Pine Coun-
ty Farm Bureau. The following
officers were chosen: A. p. Jen-
sen, chairman; Jorgen Paulsen,
vice chairman; F. Clarey Nielsen,
secretary-treasurer.
There was considerable discus
sion as to what an organization
of this character may do for local
improvements and general well
fare of the community and it is
planned to have monthly meet
ings where community problems
of all kinds may be discussed, as
well as legislative questions
state and national-that effect
rural communicative be taken
up.
1t was decided to have big
community meeting of the Unit
on Saturday afternoon, Dec. LIST,
when the County Agent, w. F.
Hammargren. will be here to
speak and possibly also a woman
speaker from the University Ex-
tension Division as it is hoped to
have. a good turnout of the wom-
en- folks also.
There are about 35 members in
the Unit now but it is hoped to
increase that membership greatly
and make it a regular communi-
ty club. The members at their
meeting Monday evening each
gave 25c to be used as a local
fund for incidental expenses.

ANOTHER PLEASANT
LYCEUM PROGRAM

The second entertainment on
the University Lyceum Course
Marine Maids-under title of
all the fun of a sea voyage with
out the sea Sickness" was a good,
clean entertainment and was
we'll received by the Askov
audience, it being shown here at
the ID. B. s. hall Saturday
evening.
The best on the program was
undoubtedly the impersonating,
the piano playing was also good
and the singing was enjoyed.
The dance by the joyful mariner
scored a hit and the young lady
was called upon to repeat the
performance.
The four ladies were not at all
stingy with their performance.
They showed lots of vim and
vigor and it appeared to be get
ting better and the audience en-
joyed it more as the. program
progressed. A feature of the
program was the manner in
which the young ladies enjoyed
the work. There was no delay
at any time-action throughout
and they fairly jumped at the
piano when any one was to per-
form there-the playing being
almost started before the per-
former was seated on the bench.
The names Of the young ladies'
are the Misses Franklin, Bell,
Gish and Barbee. A strange CO.
incident is the fact that the
three first mentioned are from
Topeka, Kans., and the latter's
home is only II miles from there.
While in Askov they were
guests at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Olsen and Louie"
says they We're real pleasant
company.
