good trouncing; we prefer the
former. The contest takes place
Saturday evening at Brook Park.
Thank you, we are glad you
came. Come back again some
other day. This time we refer
to Mrs. Wayne Jacobsen, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jens B. Jensen, Mrs. A. G.
Danielson, and Miss Vivian Wege
who visited the school recently.
At the Calf Club meeting held
in the schoolhouse last Saturday
nearly all members were present.
Among other matters it was de
cided to call the club All Live
Stock Club of Askov; this will
permit the few who want to take
up the sheep and pig projects to
join the club. 1t seems that
few boys and girls are DESTROYS
of taking these two projects this
summer. The next meeting will
be held Saturday afternoon, Mar.
81. All boys and girls who want
to take up calf, pig or sheep
work are urged to attend this
meeting.
This week the Victor Phono-
graph which arrived Saturday is
being tried out much to the
pleasure of the pupils and teach
ers. About eighty records, all
standard selections have also
been secured, part vocal, part in
strumental and part recitations or
stories; there are also number
of Scandinavian records. The in
strument and the records were
secured through surplus from the
school movies. The past two
years have left small surplus
due to greater attendance. The
school expects to secure much
benefit and satisfaction from this
purchase. =.
The next Parent-Teachers
meeting will be held at the school
house on Friday, March 10.
Earlier meetings of this year
have been addressed by outside
speakers, this one will be for
discussion of local problems.
Questions of vital Importance
will be presented to all parents,
especially those having pupils in
the eighth grade or high school.
Among the problems under dis
cussion will be: Granting Ex-
uses by the board: Raising the
Compulsory Age to Sixteen years,
More Schoolroom space, Explana-
ton of Schoolwork, especially
High School. Plan now to be
present.
The school movie, Forty
Winks", to be shown Friday,
March 5, beginning promptly at
800, is a comedy based upon the
popular stage play, Lord Chum-
ley. The cast is composed of
Eleanor Butterworth, played by
Viola Dana; Lord Chumley by
Raymond Griffith; Adam Butter
worth by Theodore Roberts, the
father of Eleanor and Lieutenant
Gerald Hugh Butterworth by
William Boyd; Gaspar LIE Sage by
Cyril Chadwick, who is in the
major league class as a crook,
and Annabelle WI by Anna May
Wong, the Oriental fancee of
Gaspar. The story is filled with
many a laugh, in fact, mostly
laugh. 1t all began in a road
house where the lieutenant, a
scion of an illustrious family,
falls for Annabelle WI. He
awakens next morning minus his
keys, but in possession of a beauti-
full garter. Realizing the ter
rible situation, he rushes to his
office only to discover an import
ant naval document gone; this
may cause his court martial.
Lord Chumley comes to the office
but there arouses suspicion.
Meanwhile Annabelle is showing
in her apartments the stolen doc
ument to LIE Sage the lawyer.
Imagine Eleanor's surprise when
the lawyer arrives and confesses
love, he winds up by telling her
through his wealth the docu-
ment can be bought but he
should be member of the fam
lily. That night the garter is
placed in the safe; Lord Chumley
gets it and in his escape he runs
across a little dog wearing the
mate to the garter as collar.
But the story is really too funny
to tell, it is better to see the
picture.
