Friends here recently received word
from Benjamin Lund at Junction

he was married to the prettiest girl
i'm the world who had only seen 26
summers. And he feels confident
that she is superior to any raised in
Minnesota. The American joins with
other Askov friends in extending con-
CALCULATIONS and best wishes.
Members of the proposed rifle club
met Monday evening and after a little
discussion it was decided to organize
a permanent club The election of
the first set of officers resulted as fol-
lows: George Lindegaard, president;
Hans Nielsen, secretary; Tony Sebald,
treasurer; and Martin Andersen, ex-
ecutive officer The latter is in
charge of shooting and other arrange
ments. About 35 have signed up for
membership and they expect to be in
full swing in the near future. A
suitable place for practice has not
been selected yet but the officers ex-
pect to decide on place Sunday and
will likely make an announcement to
that effect next week.
L. C. Petersen returned Tuesday
from his trip to Peters, Nebr., stop
ping off at Pine City on the way home
to attend the county commissioners
meeting in the interest of the Pine
County Farm Bureau of which he is
president. Mr.. Petersen reports that
general farming conditions in Ne
braska as well as along the entire
route are not any more advanced than
they are in Pine county. Very little
seeding has been done and about the
only thing that had a green color was
the willows, which are also well along
here. Three weeks ago the biggest
part of Nebraska had from two to
three feet of snow and much of that
is still on the ground. This will delay
their season considerably but the far
mers are not worried over it for the
snow is melting slowly and the mois-
ture going into the ground and prac-
tically assures them of a good crop
again this year, the same as they
had last year. The roads were just
beginning to get into condition and
there was very little automobile
travel. Mr.. Petersen went there as a
representative for "Dansk Folkesam-
fund.- and says that the society made
arrangements to assist in the selling
of a certain large tract of land near
Peters and Hay Springs. While in
that neighborhood he also took occa.
sion to visit with Chris Ottesen, Chris
Olesen, and L. C. Laursen, all former
Askov residents and they send greet
ings to old friends here.
