and builder at San Diego, Calf, and
who had been to Omaha, Nebr., to
attend the Danish Brotherhood con-
vention, visited here from Sunday. till
Tuesday at the home of his brother,
N. P. Nielsen, east of town. Mr..

a little quiet on the coast now.
Mrs. ]. ]. Martin returned to Askov
Thursday from Harlowton, Mont,
where she had been to attend the
funeral of her brother, Chas. Thomas,
a single man 81 years old, who died
from typhoid pneumonia. Mrs. Mar
tin was called there Sept. 9Th on ac-
count of the serious illness of her
brother but arrived after his death.
Mr.. Thomas had lived in Montana
since 1919 and was baker by trade.
He visited Askov little over year

visited other relatives and friends in
Montana for about 10 days.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl C. Rasmussen

ago from Oakland, Calf, for a visit
with his father, r. S. Rasmussen, and
other relatives, are leaving tomorrow
for Des Moines, Iowa, where Mr.. Ras-
mussen will take up studies in the
theological department at Grand
View college and will likely also
teach some subjects at the school,
been arranged. They will reside at
the college. The many Askov friends
of Carl will wish him success in his
chosen studies and later in that field
of work. He is an ambitious and ag-
gressive young man and will succeed.
The Askovites who went to Omaha,
Nebr., on the 18th. to attend the ma

been solved in such a manner that
it will create general satisfaction.
The round trip was made in automo-
bile and covered nearly 1900 miles,
going down through Iowa and re-
turning through Nebraska. The
weather was ideal which added much
to the pleasure of the trip. All
through Iowa and Nebraska they saw
wonderful corn fields and thousands
of hogs and then some more corn
fields and more hogs, and of course
also some wonderful hills and good
as well as poor roads. In certain
sections of the country it was said
they were trying to develop horses
with legs six inches longer on the
one side than the other so they could
better pull the pillow around the hills.
1t was also reported that a real gas
oline war was on in Council Bluffs
and Omaha where signs the size of
a man indicated that they were sell
ling gasoline for eight (S) cents a
gallon, and again less than a hun
dred miles from Omaha it was up to
1872 cents. On the return trip the
weather turned cold and a killing
frost had passed over many low sec
tions in both Iowa and Nebraska
while up in Minnesota the frost ap-
peared very light; in southern Mime
sofa it was showing quite heavily

who made the trip to Omaha were
