THE COMMUNITY
CHRISTMAS TREE

AS in former years there will be a
big community Christmas tree and
program in Askov again this year,
which is arranged jointly by the local
Danish Lutheran church and the
Young Peoples Society.
Sunday, Dec. 26, is the day set aside
for the Christmas tree and program.
The afternoon program, which is
principally for the children and their
parents, will commence at 1870, and
the evening program, for the young
folks, will begin at O'Clock. Ladies
are requested to bring cake and
cream. @
A number of additional lights have
been purchased for the big tree this
year so the committee will likely
have little more expense than for
merly. The lists upon which folks
can subscribe whatever they feel like
giving to the Christmas tree, are to
be found at the various stores. Write
your name there and the amount you
wish to give, opposite the name.
AS usual, crowd that will fill the
big d. B. S. hall is expected again
this year.

ponent and has the strength and
weight, while Nissen has more ex-
perience.
Once or twice, Won Schenk had some
real strong holds on Nisesn but some
way or another the wiry little Dane
squeezed and slipped out of them,
One time, when Won Schenk had an
arm lock on Nissen and thought that
the bones were commencing to crack,
he eased up and let go of the hold.
This was really to Won Schenk's
credit. Being the big and strong man,
outweighing his opponent by between
sixty and seventy pounds, he naturally
felt that he did not want to take any
advantage. Confident as Nissen is, he
said, ooh, did you have a hold of my
ARM" and went right to work plow-
ing into his bigger opponent.
After they had wrestled 141a min
utes and with only 80 seconds left to
go, Won Schenk had scissor hold on
Nissen, but the tricky little veteran
clamped his foot down on Won Schenk's
securing a double scissor hold and
squeezed so hard that "Von" said,
That's enough. There was an out
burst of applause following the spec

Won SCHENK-NISSEN
AMUSE THE FANS
Con Laastuen, Minneapolis, Snow
bound, Did Not Appear for
Wrestling Match With Plumb
Thursday.-Fans Given Good
Substitute.

The date of the scheduled wrestling
match between 1. M. Plumb of Bruno,
and Con Laastuen of Minneapolis, was
a rather unfortunate one as it was
just a few days following the snow
storm so consequently most of the
roads were still drifted and a big
crowd could not be looked for.
Those folks who did turn out last
Thursday evening, however, were dis
appointed because Con Laastuen of
Minneapolis, did not show up. A let
ter from him later states that he had
been working at Rochester and was
snowbound ON the way from Roches-
ter to Minneapolis, arriving in the
Mill City too late Thursday afternoon
to make the trip to Askov in time
for the contest, so consequently gave
up coming. Mr.. Plumb of Bruno, was
on hand ready for the fray.
The scheduled preliminary matches
were carried out. Aage Lunde won
the first fall against Emery Nedegaard
in three minutes with body hold
and he won the second fall over the
same route in so minutes, thus win
ming the contest.
The second contest, between Svend
Christensen and Tillman Larsen,
turned out to be a draw. They Ia
bored 20 minutes without fall, both
working hard and showing more
knowledge of the game than in their
previous matches.
In order that the fans be given as
good a show as possible under the
circumstances, Conrad Christensen,
matchmaker for the American Legion
post, under whose auspices the show
was staged, prevailed on Axel Nissen
and Karl r. Won Schenk to go on in
15-minute wrestling match. The
warrior from Bruno, who it is said,
is one of only two Won Schenks in
captivity in America, and who is al
ways rarin' to go in any athletic con-
test-being a lover of clean sports
was more than willing to give the
fans some more fun and Axel Nissen,
the veteran lightweight wrestler who
has never been known to take back
seat was also Johnny on the spot"
1t was really amusing to see the two
combatants come together, Won

western Minnesota by the land clear
ing demonstration forces of the Uni
versity's Department of Agriculture.
This is proved by the records kept at
the University Farm by A. J. Schwan-
ties of the land clearing section of the
agricultural engineering division.
When picric acid became avail
able the fiscal year of 1922, the %
cutover counties in northeastern Min
nesota bought 98.11 per cent of it
and all the rest of the state but 1.89
per cent. For the next two fiscal
years the percentages were the same
each year-SS.74 for the cutover coun-
ties and 1925 for all others. The
fourth fiscal year of distribution, the
% counties took $3.50 per cent of
Minnesota's allotment and the other
counties 3710 per cent. For the fifth
fiscal year the percentages were 57.16
for the % counties and 42.75 for all
others, and for the sixth year, not yet
finished, the percentages are running
$40 to AGO. :.
At this rate the distribution of the
government supply of explosives will
soon be on "fifty-fifty" basis be-
tween the two sections. Farmers of

WINS SCHOLARSHIP

Miss Valborg Flint, an Askov stu
dent at the University Farm, who was
recently awarded the $40 first prize
offered by the Minnesota State Horti-
cultural Society for the best essay
by students in the University of Min
nesota School of Agriculture, has
been honored again by being one of
the winners of the first scholarship
under the Leroy Cady Memorial Fund,
receiving $50 from the latter. The
account of Miss Flint's winning the
scholarship was published in the
Twin City press of last week, but was
crowded out of the American for lack
of space, and it is therefore published
herewith:

of horticulture of the state university.
The awards were made to Leon
Hendricks of Mankato, and Miss VAL
borg Flint of Askov, by a committee
composed of Dean w. c. Coffey, Prin-
cipal D. D. Mayne of the school, and
Prof w. H. Alderman. Hendricks

calls one eventful evening. Everybody
wanted to know where the fire was
and why an alarm hadn't been rung.
No information was forthcoming until

He reported that Thomas Meighan
and Renee Adoree were saying good
bye to each other under the trees on
the Kensington estate. The excite
ment was caused by the shooting of
a scene for 'Tin Gods" Mr.. Meighan's
new Paramount picture. The story's
script calls for Miss Adoree to leave
Toms cabin by walking down a hill
through the trees. To get the proper
effect, Director Allan Dwan ordered
battery of lights from the Long Is
land Studio and gang Of men to
hold magnesium flares. Sun arcs
were turned toward low hanging
clouds to reflect the proper amount of
light. Others were used in creating
moon shadows. The effect from a dis
tance was surprising to say the least.

were spent at this interesting task,
at the conclusion Of which the Presi-

which he wrote to friend 1t Is learned
that he was In the habit of reading
from the volume every night before
going to bed. About 1919 Jefferson
completed the work by doing the same
thing with Testaments In Greek, Latin
and French. He entitled the work,
