VIM. Lindstrom of Rochester, Wis
tied here yesterday at the home of
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Chas. G. Lind
strom, northeast of town, and with
his brother, Louis Lindstrom, at
Bruno.
Laurits Nielsen and family accom-
panied by Miss Carrie Feldtmose,
came up from st. Paul Saturday for
visit at the latter's home and also
at the Chr. Sandahl home, returning
to the Cities again Sunday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Niels TIL. Nielsen re-
ceived word from their son Helmer,
who is working on an ore freighter on
the Great Lakes and makes his head
quarters at Saulte Ste. Marie, that
the boat had already made it's third
trip to Duluth this season last Satur-
day. The season is early this year
compared to last year as they are just
three trips ahead of last year to Du
luth. Helmer likes his work on the
waters. The boat he is on is the
R. V. Lindabury.
Miss Evelyn Bergman, county Boys
and Girls Club leader, was in Askov
Tuesday and talked to the All club
members here at the school in the
afternoon. There is 81 members in
the Askov community. Four are TAX
ing the leadership project. They are
Alvin Jensen, Almer Ecklund, Inge-
borg Kilstofte, and Clifford Petersen.
ger are leaders in the garment MAX
ing work and Rudolph Flint is leader
in the live stock project. Miss Berg
man recently returned to her work
as county club leader from her home
at Markville, having been called there
to help care for her father, A. Berg
man, who was injured in a runaway.
The horses became scared and Mr..
Bergman was thrown from the wagon,
sustaining severe injuries, but is now
recovering.
Axel Nissen writes from Junction
City, Ore, that they arrived there safe
and sound after having encountered
some difficulties on their long jour-
ney by auto from Askov. They were
we'll received by the former residents
of Askov at Junction City. On their
journey they followed the road
through Omaha, Nebr., through Lin
coin, Brush, Denver, Colorado Springs,
Pueblo Pouche and Machoute Pass,
and the Blue Mountains which were
open four days when they passed
them. At one place it took full hour
to go 100 feet, the dirt being washed
away between the stones. At another
place the road gangs were stationed
and pulled autos over with caterpil-
lars. From there they went through
Salt Lake City and north where they
followed the Columbia. Mr.. Nissen
writes that one place south of Owa-
tonna it required six gallons of gas
oline to pillow through miles. From
Omaha they covered PA miles of
billy country, but paved, on Z gallons.
The whole trip required 80 gallons
of gasoline. Jorgen Nielsen says he
used 80 gallons, but Mr.. Nissen states
their route was 700 miles longer. Mr..
Nissen gives these figures because he
thinks some of his Askov friends will
be interested in knowing how a GER
tain make of carburetor which he had
in his car worked out. They send
greetings to Askov friends.

MEXICAN RABBIT

An American and a Mexican were
working on the railroad. Every day
the Mexican had fried rabbit for
lunch, which he generally divided
with his American friend.
One day the American said, "How
is it, Joe, you always have rabbit
love it, but can never shoot any,
ooh, that's easy" said the Mexican.
"My wife gets 'em. Every night af-
ter supper she goes outside with a
dish of food and they come round, cry
ing, 'Maeow, Maeow,' and she kills,
'em with stick. She can get you
all you want"

NEW PARKING
SYSTEM WILL
BE DISCUSSED
Business Men on Main and
Fourth to Present Petition
to City Commission

Parallel parking probably will be
discussed. pro and con, at the weekly
meeting of the city commission this
evening. Proprietors of business es-
Establishments along Main avenue and
Fourth street, where parallel park
ing is now the rule, have circulated
a petition asking that the city COM
mission rescinds its order; and that
the angular parking system be again
used. The petition will be presented
tonight.
Despite the fact that parallel park
ing on the streets traversed by the
state-owned street car makes it much
more convenient for persons travel
ing over these streets, giving more
clearance between parked autos and
the trolley, the business men claim
that they are losing business as a re.
suit of the new system, inasmuch as
it is not used on the other business
streets. They claim motorists will
park their cars near business houses
where they can park at an angle
since parallel parking is much more
difficult on crowded street, and
consequently do their trading a,
those places.
What action the commission will
take in the matter has not been in.
dicated.

;27.OO0 Americans
Kiss Barney Stone

Cork, Ireland, Aug. 22.-tP>-More
than 27,0OO American tourists have
kissed the blarney stone this year
The curators Of blarney castle ore
considering limiting the number Of
kissing visitors in the future because
of the danger, they point out, that
the kissers must climb to the wall
and then be lowered down head first
with another person holding onto the
feet and that, should the hold relax,
= serious fall might result.
= Blarney stone is gradually wear
ing away, partly by the action Of the
elements and partly by the damage
done BY tourists in their effort to
kiss the stone. Its potency, how
ever, according to the common be-
lief. remain the same. This has
been described by one Irish writer
in the following words:
"The touch 81 the barney stone
crcates smooth and graceful liars Of
the first naagnitnde With sweet
persuasive tongue. With women full
Of guile, blandisnuasnt and potent
flattery."

FORT GROUNDS
WILL BE PUT TO
MILITARY USE
Indication that Troops Arr
Coming Here Contained in
Letter to Roberts

Troops very likely will be placed
at Fort Lincoln this fall.
This was the indication today, as
the result of letter received by o.
w. Roberts from Col. W. &. MUIR
Gibson, acting general of the Seventh
Corps Area, u. S. army, with head
quarters at Omaha.
The letter, addressed to Mr. Rob-
erts as head of the Burleigh County
Sportsmen's association, asked the
removal of trap shooting equipment
from the fort grounds as "the
grounds will be used for military
purposes Immediately"
Despite the fact that General
Smith of Omaha, who inspected the
fort grounds earlier this year, had
predicted that troops would be
placed there this fall, there had been
some doubt since no move has yet
been made to repair the buildings
and put them in order. The letter
from Col. Murchison. however, it is
believed, means that the troops will
be here in short time.
H. p. Goddard, secretary Of the As
sociation of Commerce, also received
letter from Col. Murchis0n making
inquiries about the fort.
