COMMUNITY BUILDING

! A policy or program of expansion
and one that is liberal and building
for the future is a good one for any
community to adopt and adhere to.
Inasmuch as this article concerns
principally the Askov community it
will not be placed in the editorial
column but on local Askov page.
though it is an editorial expression.
The Ferndale Nursery which has
made great strides forward the last
three or four years is about to launch
upon a bigger program if desirable
grounds can be purchased from the
local church organization, and the
citizens in general show a friendly
spirit toward this business enterprise
which will give work to more people
locally and beautify the landscape.
The nursery proposes to purchase
about three-quarters of an acre east
of the church where presently the
old church barn is located and which
has nearly outlived it's usefulness.
But the property would be practically
no good to them, or at any rate they
would not care to make the purchase
unless the lot between the church and
the Fenger residence was opened up
as street, giving them entrance to
the proposed greenhouse. This lot by
the way never should have been a
lot but should have been a street
right from the start.
Ludwig Mosbak of the Ferndale
Nursery had asked the board of di-
-rectors of the church to set a price
on the plot of land that the nursery
desired to purchase. This the board
did not do, maintaining that because
it was decided couple of years ago
not to sell any of the church land
they would not set a price. Early
in the history of the colony when it
was desirable to have few acres of
pasture for the minister's COW and
horse, Mr. Mosbak sold several acres
of land to the church. The land has
not been used the last seven or eight
years, except that little plot where
the barn is located, and so Mr.. Mos
back thought now when he needs land
the church making no use of it
they might pursue liberal policy
toward him and his associates in the
business.
At the meeting of members of the
church Sunday afternoon several per-
sons voiced their opinions in favor
of liberal policy and to sell the plot
wanted by the nursery, also opening
up a street there. One person re-
marked that there is no use of the
church keeping all this land for
which it has no use and then pay 8
per cent interest on debt. Sell some
of the land and wipe out some of the
debt 1t was decided at the meeting
that the board members and the nur-
sery proprietors get together and ne
gotiate on a price. Harald Thomson
who recently came here from Albert
Lea, and plans on buying in with the
nursery, stated that his becoming a
member of the firm hinges of course
on their being able to get the grounds.

ASKOV

A baby boy arrived at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Lunde Tuesday
evening.
Martin Andersen is helping Fritz
Holm with the rush of work in the
dray business.
The Askov Garage are having the
arrangement of their gasoline tanks
changed once more; two Standard Oil
Co. men are here doing the work.
Hedge B. Kilstofte has purchased
Martin Sorensen's lot, just west of,
his own residence, and expects to level
it off to improve the appearance of
that block.
A recent letter from N. P. Johansen
at Boulder, Colo, states that his con-
dition is not as favorable as was re-
Gently thought. His plan of going to
Denmark has been Cancelled for the
time being.
The first good rain of the season
fell here Monday and in some cases
1t helped to settle the roads but there
are also many places where the water
cant get away with the result that
the road becomes almost impossible.
A few more days of dry weather, how
ever, will help wonderfully.
The new light road grader which
the village of Askov purchased some
time ago arrived here Tuesday and
was set up and put in use that same
day. If the council will prescribe
plenty of exercise for this new ma
chine it will undoubtedly result in
good roads throughout the village.
F. H. Tomlinson has been informed
by the U. S. Civil Service Commission
that he passed the postal clerk ex-
animation which he took at Superior,
Wis, in February. His grade is
103.29o, which places him as No.
on the list of eligibles. This SEEM
ingly impossible grade is due to the
veterans. MIR. Tomlinson has re-
quested suspension of his eligibility
until Jan. 1, 1928, at which time his
work on the Askov Farm Accounts
route will be completed.
The debate on the question, Ere
Profitable than Sheep on the Average
Pine County Farm, which was
scheduled to be held at the North
Star Farmers Club hall some weeks
ago but postponed on account of i'm
passable roads, will be held there
tomorrow, FRIDAY } evening. Mog-
ems Tuxen, the cow tester, will repre-
sent the affirmative and A. P. Jensen
will uphold the negative. County
Agent w. F. Hammargren will also
be present and give talk. All who
are interested are invited to the
meeting. The ever alert and optim-
istic A. P. Jensen says: eff you can't
drive car, do as we did in olden
times, walk"
Rev. and Mrs. Frede Stottrup came
to Askov Tuesday from Brush, Colo,
where he has been minister for about
four years. Enroute here they stopped
off for a visit at Grand View College,
Des Moines, Iowa. Rev. Stottrup's
physical condition is far from being
the best, but what he lacks in
strength he makes up for in spirit.
He gets about with difficulty on
crutches. The four oldest Stottrup
children arrived here Sunday via
automobile and are enthusiastic about
getting to work on their farm here.
The children drove all the way from
Brush to Askov without any car
trouble and used only $3.50 for gas
and oil. Mr.. and Mrs. Stottrup are
temporarily staying at the Lars Chris
Jensen home but will move onto their
farm as soon as the house gets fixed
up little Their many Askov friends
are glad to welcome them back to
this community.

IMMIGRANT, VICTIM
PRACTICAL JOKERS,
A FROM TRAIN

Unable to speak English and unac-
quainted with the laws and customs
of this country, Johann Heindl, q
years of age, travelling from Bremen,
Germany, to Dallas, Ore, became 10
wrought up over the activities of
practical jOkers among his fellow pas
sengers that he leaped from North
ern Pacific train No. 1 at a point
just north of this city last Thursday
morning and took to the brush.
Heindl, in his stocking feet and not
warmly clad, wandered about the
country during the day, and was OBJ
served by several persons who report
ed the matter to the authorities.
When picked up he was found to have
suffered a severe scalp wound and
numerous bruises. After being given
medical attention he was fed, fur
nished with shoes and sent on his
way rejoicing, for in the meantime
his fears had been dissipated by prop
er explanations.
Although the train crew did not re-
port the occurrence, Heindrs baggage
was held for him at Butte and every
care will be taken to insure his safe
arrival at Dallas, Ore, where he vii
join an uncle by whom he will be EN-,
ployed. Inquiry into the case is nov
being made by railroad officials.

CREATE INTEREST
in OUTDOOR life
That Is Plan of Organization
Sponsored By C. B. Swim
Local Folk Enthusiastic

Organization Of a society with the
object of aiding in protecting the
forests from destruction, especially
by fire; to promote the planting and
growth of trees in general, and t.
work towards the making of local
surroundings more healthful and at
tractive is being urged by c. B.
Swim, assistant supervisor of the Gal
latin National forest.
Mr.. Swim already has laid his
ideas and suggestions before the for
estry department, and expects to have
his plans in such shape by the time
Forestry week, April "a to 80, rolls
around that they can be presented to
the communities of the Northwest,
which have been invited to organize.
Last Wednesday evening Mr.. Swim
asked a number of Bozeman people tO
meet with him at the offices of the
Gallatin forest, and explained to
them his ideas as to a general organi-
cation to promote forest protection
and arouse interest in outdoor life.
Enthusiastic approval was expressed
by everyone, and a nucleus of an or
~ganization formed. The society will
be known as the Friends Of the For
est" and the local branch thereof has
chosen the name of "Gallatin Friends
of the Forest club" Headquarters
of the society will be in Bozeman.
The organization will function in
dependently, but the forest service
will give whatever assistance is pos
sible. The Bozeman club will include
in its scope the garden and sweet pea
clubs of the city, which will function
through a subcommittee. The group
which has pledged itself to spread the
doctrine of forest friendship and as
sist in the forming of clubs includes

HOW TO Obtain
VETERANS LOANS

The Courier has received the fol-
lowing letter from C. T. Busha of
Helena, regional manager Of the
United States Veterans bureau:
"The United States Veterans bu-
reau has made arrangements to sup
ply postmasters in larger cities in the
state with application forms for APP
plying for loans on Adjusted Service
certificates.
"The best procedure to negotiate
the loans would be for the applicant
to go to the local postmaster, procure
and execute the note, and mail it and
the certificate to the Regional Office,
Helena, Montana.
"This will bring the most satisfac-
tory results"

need FOR PUBLIC
NURSING SERVICE

Mrs. Sara Morse, assistant state
May day chairman and secretary Of
the Montana tuberculosis assOeia-

gram in terms of a public health
nurse, said in part:
mo May Child Health day program

that concerns definite and concrete
plans for constructive health work for
the remainder Of the 364 days of the

education. It should be supported by
taxation for it is as important that
our children should know how to live
that they may De well and strong as
that they know how to write.
"May day will have a new signifi-

Of health and prosperity and happi-
ness if each Child Health committee

FAVOR
GOOD CROP YEAR

Snow, rain, and wide variations in
temperature, with high winds in
some sections, featured last days of
March and the first days of April, ac-
cording to the crop report issued by
the department of agriculture, coop
Grating with the Montana extension
service.
Conditions are considered favor
able for a good crop year. Consid-
cradle blowing has been done. Grass
and meadows are turning green.
Winter wheat is reported in good
condition with some spotted damage,
not considered serious, due to soil
blowing in Fergus. State Horticul-
turist Edward Dickey reported condi-
lions in the orchard section of wes-
tern Montana as excellent. Live
stock generally came through the
winter in good shape except in soma
eastern counties where the death of
many range horses is recorded. The
hay supply has been mostly adequate
with SURPRISES reported in Ponders
and Madison. Landing of farm
flocks has been in progress since Feb
ruary. Landing generally has moi
started on the large ranches. Very
few losses are reported to date. Woo
growers predict fleeces this year full
ly equal to last in quality and weight
Dairying activities give evidence
that this industry is continuing Il
expand.
A great majority Of counties repor
the labor supply to be slightly ex
ceeding the demand. In Fergus, Pom
dera and Madison there will be
need, it is said, for a few men whel
the field season opens.
