GIVES GOOD TALK ON
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The lecture given at the ID. b
s. hall, Askov. Tuesday evening
by Miss Henri Forchhammer, a
League of Nations worker from
Denmark, was attended by near
ly 200 people and the speaker
was accorded very close attention
throughout. She handles the
subject well and speaks in a
clear and distinct tone.
Miss Forchhammer stated that
the League was commenced only
five years ago, one of its princi-
pal leaders then being the late
president of the United States,
Woodrow Wilson. Forty-one ma
tons were enrolled as charter
members but there are now over
fifty. OF the larger countries
still on the outside are the Unit
ed States, Germany and Russia
That the League is functioning
and doing good work and also
commands world respect in spite
of being but five years old which
is little time in the worlds his
tory, is proven. according to the
speaker, by its being able to stop
a war between Italy and Greece.
Greece made a government ioan
recently and with the o. X. Of
the League the bonds were IN
mediately sold out at London,
Paris, New York and other
places.
Besides working as world
power to do away with wars Miss
Forchhammer said the League is
also a humanitarian body, dcirg
much to relieve the suffering of
subdued peoples as the Armcni-
ans and Syrians in Turkey and to
wipe out white slavery. Karen
Jeppe, another Danish woman, is
doing much to establish homes
for Christians fleeing from Tur-
key. to get them back to their
feet so that they are able to help
themselves again, this being a
part of the League work.
Miss Forchhammer was a COM
panied to Askov by her sister.
Mrs. Andersen of Minneapolis.
They came Tuesday noon and
were guests at the l.. C. Petersen
home leaving again Wednesday
forenoon, Miss Forchhammer be-
ing scheduled to speak before a
woman's club in the Mill City
that afternoon. She will visit
many of the Danish colonies dur
ing her American tour.

Y. p. SOCIETY WILL
CELEBRATE FOURTH
DIR. w. c. Ehmke of Willow
River, to be the
Speaker.

The big county celebration on
independence day will be at Pine
City this year, but there are of
course always number of
people who cannot conveniently
travel that far--especially those
with large families-and so the
Young Peoples Society will, as
in former years, have a local cele-
bration at the Askov park. 1t
will not be of the spectacular
type with big parades, fireworks
and the like, but there will
nevertheless be amusements for
everybody.
DIR. w. c. Ehmke of Willow
River, has been secured to de-
liver the address of the day. The
local band will start the program
with music at 100 and at 200
o'clock DIR. Ehmke will speak.
There will also be singing by the
mems glee club and later in the
afternoon sports on the park
lawn.
Coffee will be served free to
those bringing their lunch along.
The Fourth is the day for fire
crackers but it is understood that
all should refrain from shooting
them while the speaking and
singing is going on.
Everybody is invited to this
quiet and neighborly celebration.

somewhat retired film star, speaking.

greatness, isn't it? But it is not so very
uncommon. While not one girl in many
millions becomes a queen, a considerable
