A check of the potatoes and ruta-
bagas shipped from Askov during the
season that has just closed shows a
total of 1913 carloads. This figure is
about IS cars more than last season
and will undoubtedly show up quite
well when compared with other towns
on this division. Last year Askov
held fourth place with 3S5 carload
shipments and that same season Ker-
rick shipped Is carloads, Bruno 60,
Great Northern), Brook Park 43. Last
year Cambridge was high with 555
carloads. Statistics for this season
have not been compiled yet.

$165 to 1920, which includes labor
and material required for the dam
aged part and giving the rest of the
building one coat of paint; the lar

l.. Madsen submitted the lowest bid
and the job was awarded to him; he
commenced on the work Immediately.
A surprise party was rendered Niels
Brus Tuesday evening at the parson-

with many other good things and the
general social spirit made the even

At a meeting of the local school
board Tuesday evening it was de-
cided to issue excuses this year for
those pupils who have to help with
the work at home; this however will
likely be the last year that such ex-
cuses will be granted At the time
of the meeting only few of the
present faculty had signed up for re-
