ASKOv SCHOOL COLUMN

Attendance is slightly better
this week but not very good yet.
The sixth grade pupils are en-
joying their new geography
texts.
The seventh grade boys ex-
pertinent almost failed last week
but it is going on yet.
The second grade store has
proven quite an aid and strong
interest to Number work.
Additional enrollments in the
high school are Katharine Nor
Jensen and Werner Johnson.
Herbert Lindgren who broke
his arm shortly after the open
ing of school. has resumed at
tendance again.
Sigvard Sorensen resumed
school attendance after an attack
of work at home followed by a
week in bed with humps.
Most of the new library books
arrived Tuesday. These are now
being prepared for circulation
and will be ready for the shelves
in a few days.
No doubt readers of the Askov
school column are interested in
knowing who visit and see the
school at work. Recent visitors
are Mrs. Jens B. Jensen and Mrs.
Jorgensen of Iowa.
The seventh grade cooking
girls are making posters these
days. Most of them have COM
pleted their Sugar Posters. now
they are working on Starch. Pro-
TEN and Vitamine Posters.
A former pupil. Walter Jensen,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A. p. Jensen,

this trip through his work as a
calf club member. All his ex-
penses except street car fare:

quarters at the boys and girls

Several of the school boys are
determined that Walter is going
to have more competition for
similar honors next year.
The pupils of the grades are

If the children sell fifty dollars

FARMERS FEELING GOOD

There is a smile on the face of
the farmer today. There is more
of a hustle-there is vim, vigor
and action-more than has pre-
vailed any other time during the
past three or four years. Good
prices on potatoes, rutabagas,
butterfat and eggs. may not
directly affect happiness but i'm
directly il does, for the con-
scientious man likes TO be able to
pay his bills and be on top with
feeling Of satisfaction and con-
tentment. And the great great
big majority are of the type who
want to play the game on the
square. SO il does a fellow good
to see the wave of smiles and
contentment after several years
of depression.
A half dozen years ago il was
estimated that SOC per bushel for
potatoes right out Of the field
was a good price--some even
maintained that doc would be a
good price il a farmer could get
that every year. Figuring on
those basis 75c per bushel should
be a good fair price today
price upon which a substantial
margin of profit can be made. But
the price is not 75c per bushel
now, il has been lowering close
up 10 the $1.00 mark for a week
or two and now il has gone above
that mark--the quotation today
being $1.0S per bushel or $3.50
per 100 pounds.
Rutabagas at this time of the
year are usually sold at 81 per
ton or thereabouts, which is con-
sidered a fair price by many. To-
day the local buyers are paying
$1,000.
Another year or two Of good
prices like those would surely be
some boon to this country, and
the farmers deserve it. They
have labored hard TO improve
their farms and build up the
country and we are glad to see
the smile on their faces.
