labored under great obstacles and
difficulties to enter there. On
his way to the Hampton Institute
the young black boy slept under
the sidewalk in the city of Rich
mond one night--a city which in
later years gave a big banquet
in his honor. He worked his way
through the Hampton Institute
but gained more than knowledge.
He acquired high ideals of life
and learned to value the dignity
of labor. He was taught the
value of honest work.
At this point Rev. Rodholm
said that no man who was con-
tinually seeking it ever attained
much glory.
Booker T. Washington said he
was proud to be a Negro. Each
group should be taught to re-
spect itself. Many of his own
race did not like him because he
tried to teach them to respect
honest labor. Students at the
Tuskegee Institute. of which
Washington was president were
obliged to work their way
through and the many buildings
in that group which cover a
large acreage have been built by
the students.
After Rev. Rodholm's address
of about one hour the assemblage
was entertained by the sounding
of the various military bugle
calls by Thorvald Jensen on the
cornet. He was a bugler in the
army and it was educational as
well as entertaining to hear
these. Each call was ably ex-
planned by N. C. Laursen. The
use of the gas mask was also ex-
planned and fire was built where
Einar johnson and Andrew Juhl
with masks entered the thick of
the smoke to demonstrate its
usefulness where the air is bad
and otherwise unbearable.
Refreshments were enjoyed by
all under the shade trees and a
pleasant and profitable day was
spent

ASKOV WINS FIRST
GAME OF SEASON
Local Base Ball Team De-
feated the Beroun
Boys Sunday.

The Askov ball team went to
Beroun Sunday, followed by a
number of supporters. and were
successful in hanging up the
first victory Of the season, the
score being IL to 5. There were
several errors on both sides,
which might be expected as it
was the first game played this
year.
Everyone reports the Beroun
players as a nice bunch to play
with and a good clean game may
be looked for here Sunday.
Jens Hyldahl pitched the first
inning and allowed three hits
two singles and a double-which
coupled with the balance of the
inning netted the Beroun boys
three runs. Carl Hyldahl pitched
the balnace of the game. Jens
had two strike outs in one inning
and Carl had 16 in 8 innings. The
Beroun pitcher was credited with
8 strike outs.
The following played on the
Askov team, named in the order
they batted:
Carl Hyldahl. pitcher,
Anker Simonsen, End base.
M. Slott, catcher.
Carl Jensen, r. F.
Geo. Clegg, Bird base.
Alfred Nielsen. short stop.
Holger Mosbak. c. F.

changed later in the game.

NARROW ESCAPE IN
AUTO TURN OVER
Askov Car Figures in Acct
dent on State Road
Near Town.

When returning from the ball
game at Beroun Sunday after
noon an auto accident occurred
near Bertil Fishers place which
might have had fatal results.
Arthur Andersen and Miss o.
ga Andersen were driving north
toward Askov in his Ford run
about; VIM. Madsen, accompa-
MED by Miss Verna Nielsen, came
in same direction and drove past
the Ford. In some manner.
which is yet not definitely known
the front wheels of the Ford
swerved to the right and the car
plunged head first into the three
foot deep ditch, which resulted
in one broken rear wheel and a
broken windshield. Miss Ander-
sen received a cut on her knee,
apparently from falling glass,
which however is not serious.
A new wheel was secured and
the car seems none the worse
from the experience.
1t. however, was a lucky escape
and more care should be exer-
cised on the road.

DENMARK BISHOP
VISITS ASKON
Is On Tour of America
Heard by Many at
Askov.

Bishop Harald Ostenfeld, Of
Copenhagen. Denmark, primatc
of the state church Of that
country was heard in Askov Sum
day, and was greeted by a large
congregation that filed the
church. He preached at the
morning services and spoke again
in the Danish Lutheran church in
the afternoon.
Mr.. 0stenfeld became bishop
about 10 years ago and was ele-
waited to that position by the gov
eminent. Since then II has been
changed SO that bishops are now
chosen by the church people, a
more democratic way.
Bishop 0stenfeld is visiting
Danish Lutheran congregations
throughout the United States and
Canada. He arrived at Los
Angeles, California via the Pana-
ma canal on April 25 and leaves
from New York again on July Is.
He will attend the annual confer
ences of the two Danish Luther
an synods at Elk Horn. and Cedar
Falls, Iowa, from June / to 10.
Mrs. 0stenfeld accompanies him
on the trip.
The subject Of the Bishops
morning sermon was truth and
confession which he handled in a
clear. able and concise manner
and in the afternoon he spoke
about the good work which had
been done in Copenhagen to
establish more churches in that
city in recent years. The city's
population had grown to the ex-
tent where there were as many
as $4,000 people belonging to one
church and with that number it
was impossible that the work
could be given proper attention.
Conditions have however been
improved much.
The Bishop is democratic.
broadmined and sympathetic and
is very convincing speaker. He
is the first Bishop from Denmark
to ever visit America and is be-
ing cordially received every
where for his fine Christian per-
sonality, He is 50 years old.
A very busy schedule has been
laid out for him as he speaks
nearly every day and sometimes
twice in a day. From Askov he
went on to Hutchinson.
About IL auto loads Of people
from Superior and Duluth were
in Askov Sunday to hear the
Bishop.

FROM
NEGRO LEADER
Rev. S. D. Rodholm Speaks
on Life of Booker
7. Washington.

The Memorial Day celebration
in the Askov park was a success
in very way but the crowd was
smaller than in former years.
The Askov Band started the
program by playing a number of
selections after which N. C.
Laursen, a member Of the Amer
lean Legion, under whose auspi-
ces the day was observed, bid all
welcome and introduced the
speaker of the day, Rev. S. d.
Rodholm.
Rev. Rodholm said that on this
day the flags from coast to coast
and from the gulf to the Cana
dian border are raised and lower
ed in memory of the dead heroes
who served their country. He
said it seemed that the old Civil
war veterans were more free to
speak up and tell about their
war experiences than the boys of
the World war. He did not know
the reason for this but perhaps
the boys of the last war will be
more anxious to relate their ex-
periences when they grow older.
There is more universal
honoring of all soldiers today,
whether just a plain private or
a general or other high officer,
than years ago when the honor
ing was more for the higher up.
and in this respect the world has
gone forward the speaker said.
Rev. Rodholm said we may all
be great--not all famous. Great
men and women are to be found
in every day walks of life. Great
ness comes about largely by be-
ing able to govern ourselves.
The speaker then dwelt at con-
siderable length on the life of
Booker T. Washington the great
Negro leader who founded the
Tuskegee Institute in the South,
a school which has meant so
much to the advancement Of the
black race.
Booker T. Washington was
born either in 1858 or 1859-the
year is not definitely known--in
the days of slavery. His mother
had been sold as a slave three
times and his father was an I'M
known white man. Washington
remembered as a little boy when
the Negroes were given freedom
and they cheered for it, but free
dom was really an awful thing to
those who were not brought up
or sufficiently educated to realize
what it meant. They thought it
meant the liberty to roam about
and not have to work. The stern
est master is necessity.
When they were given free
dom Washington's step-father
came and took the family to a
coal mine town where the father
provided for his family by work
ing in the mine. The little Ne
gro lad loved books and had a
yearning for knowledge. Even
before he had learned to read he
was given the nickname
Booker at home because he was
continually handling books and
this name followed him through
life. When he started to school
he was asked his name and as he
had none he simply said Booker"
by which he was known and
added Washington because he
had heard there was great man
by that name. The middle initial
T. did not stand for anything but
the little lad thought it was
customary to have a middle mi
tial and so the T. was added.
He went to night school at the
mining town but later heard of a
negro school in Virginia and
