SILVER WEDDING CELEBRATED

Mr. and Mrs. Marinus Andersen
celebrated their silver wedding ami
versary at their home in the village
Sunday. The home was well filled
with friends and neighbors who had
come to do them honor and celebrate
the happy event with them. The An
dersens were married at Audubon, Ia,
twenty-five years ago and lived in that
neighborhood until they came to
Askov a little over six years ago.
Since coming here Mr.. Andersen has
been the efficient buttermaker at the
local creamery where his son, Arthur.
is assistant. Mr.. Andersen also work
ed as buttermaker in Iowa before
coming here and learned the trade
in Denmark. Their oldest son is at
present located in Pontiac, Mich,
from where he works out as fireman
on a railroad. The two youngest sons
are at home. g..
Mr.. and Mrs. Andersen were the
recipients of several presents from
their friends Sunday. The afternoon
was spent in social visiting and Mrs.
Andersen provided well for the inner

N. P. JOHANSEN PASSES
TO THE GREAT BEYOND

N. P. Johansen who has been fail
ing slowly for nearly a year, passed
away quietly Saturday at one o'clock,
at the V. Heininge home where he
has been cared for the last few weeks.
Niels Peter Johansen was born in
Denmark and came to this country
some twenty years ago. He worked
first in Chicago and later in Newell,
Iowa, coming to Askov about 1907
and resided here since. He conducted
the local blacksmith shop some years
and from that went to farming, hav-
ing at the time of his death a nice
farm two miles southeast of town.
Mr.. Johansen complained of having
and sought treatment for
that at Mudbaden but found no relief
After short stay at home he went
to Boulder, Colorado, and entered a
sanatorium there. After several
weeks treatment it was definitely
learned that his real ailment was tu-
berculosis of the spine and there was
no hope for his recovery. He was
operated upon and placed in a cast

HENRIK IBSEN DRAMA
is ABLY PRESENTED

"a Doll House" Get Dukkehjem)
the we'll known drama written by the
Norwegian writer, Henrik Ibsen, was
presented in Askov Sunday evening
by students from Grand View College,
Des Moines, Iowa, in a manner that
reflected much credit on the per-
formers and those who have been
their instructors The Danish spoken
on the stage that evening was so good
that only once when the leading lady,
Mrs. F. o. Lund, made little slip
and said "alright''-a word often used
here in America by Danes when talk
ing Danish-it was quickly noticed by
the audience and caused little mer-
riment. Mrs. Lund was however equal
to the occasion and that little thing
did not bother her-she went on as
though nothing had happened. Both
she and the leading man, Niels Mel
sen, did very we'll, and in fact all the
parts were we'll acted. The play had
already been presented three times
before the presentation at ASkOv and
the students were to show few more
places before returning to Des Moines.
From Askov they went to Minneapolis.
Alma Petersen, daughter of Rev. and
Mrs. P. H. Petersen, Withee, Wis,
and who lived with her parents at
Askov when a little girl, was one of
the seven performers, playing the
part of Mrs. Linde, a good friend of
the leading lady. The part was well
acted.
Before the play and between acts
F. o. Lund and Miss Edna Sorensen,
one of the performers, delighted the
audience with violin and piano music.
Mr.. Lund stayed at Askov about a
year before going to Minneapolis and
later to Des Moines and has played
here on several occasions. His ability
as musician is known to local
people,.
The Ibsen plays to be sure are not
of the mirth making, side-splitting,
laugh-producing variety. They give
insight into real life and give real
food for thought. The best comment
perhaps that can be given the per-
Torrance here Sunday is to say that
it was presented in such manner as
to leave a deep impression.

GERMANY ADMITS A
FEW MISCALCULATIONS

"Dansk Folkesamfund" had an in
teresting meeting at the assembly
room in the parsonage last Thursday
evening Now that immigration of
Danes as well as all foreigners to the
United States has been greatly re-
duced on account of the prevailing
immigration laws the matter of doing
something for Danish settlements in
Canada was brought up for discus
sion and it was voted to ask the SUI
preme officers of ''Dansk Folkesam-
fund" to aid in that work-to get in
touch with authorities in Canada and
help Danes emigrating to that coun-
try to gather in colonies, and be of
assistance to one another as they have
been in colonies here in the United
States.
Viggo Justesen who recently re-
other European countries and who is
visiting relatives here, talked for
about half an hour on conditions
across the big pond as he saw them on
his travels. The World War had left
it's mark in Belgium and France as
we'll as other countries, he said, but
they are rapidly getting over it and
many of the fields where the trenches
were dug and buildings ruined are
now improved again. Mr.. Justesen
said that in Germany they are hard
at work and forging right ahead.
They were used to a very meager liv-
ing during the war and while they
are not yet living high they have been
used to the meager living for long
time and are not complaining. They
of course realize that they did not
win in the recent unpleasantness but
do not take it so hard. They figure
that they made few miscalculations.
For one thing they were too efficient
and too we'll prepared for the combat.
The Germans say that had they only
been necessary for them to have made
some loans and had they come to the
United States for loan of few bill
lion dollars before the combat the
result might have been different for
they figure now, that in that event
they would have had Uncle Sam on
their side. 1t was a little slip, but
Mr.. Justesen says they do not seem
to be at all discouraged and are going
right ahead.
Mr.. Justesen also told Interestingly
about his visit to Czechoslovakia, the
little country which is forging ahead
in the industrial lines, Spain, France,
England, and other countries.
Several songs were sung by all and
the evenings program ended with
good lunch.

Hans Mosbak and Harald Thomson

Hans Mosbak and Harald Thomson
were business visitors in Pine City
Monday.
Albert Krogh returned Friday from
Minneapolis where he had spent a
couple of weeks.
Mrs. K. F. Jacobsen of Racine, Wis.,,

Louis Elkjer who has been at st.
Mary's hospital in Duluth several
weeks and has had several operations,
returned to Askov this forenoon and
although in a weak condition, is feel
ing as fine as can be expected which
is good news to his many friends here.
Chris Petersen came here last
Thursday from Chicago and will 10
cate on his land adjoining that of
H. r. Bucks, six miles northwest of
town. Mr.. Petersen was married a
couple of weeks ago and as soon as
he can erect buildings on his land,
Mrs. Petersen will join him here.
There will be a base ball game on
the local diamond Sunday afternoon
between the first and second teams,
game scheduled to start at 2 o'clock.
On Sunday, May, Goth, the locals are
scheduled to play Sandstone on the
Askov diamond, and on Sunday, June
9Th, they have a game scheduled with
Sturgeon Lake.
The two Petersen brothers of the
American Publishing Co., were in
Grand Marais Friday and Saturday to
purchase a used Linograph machine
and crate it for shipment to Askov.
For some time there has been need
of two type casting machines in the
American office as the one here now
is being used an average of twelve to
fourteen hours day and during rush
seasons often runs two complete shifts
or more. The danger of breakdown
on a busy day with only one machine
in the shop made it imperative to get
a second machine. The Linograph
from Grand Marais is expected here
today or tomorrow. The trip to Grand
Marais was made in automobile and
to be sure it was tough one the last
20 or rs miles into the harbor village
which is on the north shore of Lake
Superior, 10 miles northeast of Du-
luth. The road there has bunch
of frost boils and as this is the rainy
season in that country the frost boils
have not had a chance to dry out.
The balance of the distance along the
north shore is a very good graveled
road, about as good DIS is to be found,
and the scenery is eautiful-good
views out over the lake, many rapid
streams with waterfalls emptying in
to the lake, high cliffs and other
beautiful landscapes. In the summer
time when all is green it must be a
beautiful drive. "See Minnesota
First" might be a good slogan.

their director, Chris Birkholm. The
Ling and Bukh styles of gymnastics
were used and the comment on all
sides seems to be that the young folks
did very we'll and that they have an
able leader. Besides the gymnastics
they also showed folk dancing. 1t
went like clockwork throughout and
many wondered how the young folks
could be drilled to do it so well. The
collection taken up that evening was
enough to defray expenses and the
visitors were quartered in various
homes in the community. Letters
from Midtown express appreciation
for the hospitality they were accorded
at Askov.
