Sunday, in company with his brother,
skunks who had made their home
for some time under Louis Olsen
barn. Being armed with % caliber
rifles and each club they advanced
and the battle was soon in full
swing. Out of the eleven that they
encountered, nine were killed in
stantly while two escaped. Harold
has tried this sport before and says
the main trick is to take them one
at time and look them square in
the eye.
A letter from Peter Hermansen,
who is visiting in Denmark, to a
friend here, states that the summer
there for 1927 is a thing of the past
and with the coming of winter he be-
gins to long for good old Minnesota.
Accompanied by his sister and her
husband and their four children he
will leave Denmark Dec. 10 and hopes
to be here in time to start the new
year at his old home. Mr.. Herman
sen has kept posted on what has
been going on in ASkov as he has
received the Askov American regu-
larly every week just ten days after
publication. Further he states that
it was his intention to bring back a
bride, and he found plenty that were
willing and also found one that he
wanted, but then the Danish law re-
quired that he must have two Amer
lean witnesses, who had known him
for two years, accompany him in
order to secure the necessary license
and to his disappointment he couldnt
find the required witnesses and conse-
quently had to tell the fair maiden
that the happy event would have to
be postponed Indefinitely.
The local Ladies' Aid sale at the D.
B. S. hall Monday evening drew a
good attendance, and the program
and good lunch that preceded the
sale seemed to put the audience in
the buying humor. Rev. o. H. Dyre-
borg bid the audience welcome on
behalf of the society and announced
the following program: Two violin
and piano selections by H. Petersen
and Mrs. P. N. Fenger; reading by
rev. byICUOi 5, IWO NOCdl SSlCCIlOllS
by Mrs. Holger E. Petersen; and
mouth-organ selections by the Mis-
ses Ellen and Alva Sorensen. The
mouth-organ music was a new stunt
with the crowd here and it took we'll,
the songs that they played being
well rendered. The Sorensen girls
have entertained a number of times
in Minneapolis while the family re-
sided there. A few songs by the
audience were interspersed with the
numbers on the program and this
was followed by the coffee and lunch
People had been liberal in making
donations to the sale as there were
many articles offered, varying in
prices from cents to So. At little
after 10 o'clock the auction was start
ed and brought fairly good prices on
the average. An early check-up of
the receipts shows total income for
the evening to be about $205 and the
expense only about SIS, leaving a
net gain of around $3.50. The Ladies
Aid wishes to extend their thanks
for the many donations and for the
fine patronage.
