The general invitation extended by
the Askov Hardware & Garage Co.
last week to come to their opening
Monday was accepted by capacity
attendance A force of five able wo-
men were kept busy from morning till
late afternoon serving coffee and
lunch which by the way was very
good and there was plenty of it. They
were also busy, with the assistance
of others, in dishing out ice cream
cones, Eskimo pies, cigars, toy bal
received as we'll as good wishes for
the success of their business. Carl
Miller, the retiring owner, was also
busy handing out cigars.
Chris Frederiksen as a member OF
the board of directors of the Askov
Creamery Association, represented the
local creamery at a meeting of Dis
trict No. 2 Land O'Lakes creameries
at Milaca last Thursday. Mr.. Fred
eriksen was accompanied to Milaca
by Jess Petersen. Nearly all the
member creameries of Pine county
were represented at the meeting.
Some districts in the state have a
considerable larger number of cream
cries than other districts and those
with the many creameries are paying
a large share of the fieldman's ex-
pense in the smaller districts. 1t was
argued that paying part of the ex-
pense of the fieldman in the smaller
districts was alright, but not too
much of it. The matter will likely
come up at the annual state meeting.
The annual postal inspection of the
two rural mail routes at Askov was
made Friday and Saturday and the
report that was sent in covering same
was not very good. AS whole the
road was good considering the wealth
er we have had, however, there are a
couple of impossible spots in the
north end of route two-the one place
not even passable for team. Quite
a number of the boxes are in poor
condition and should be Strengthened
up, properly fastened, repaired, paint
ed, etc. Only very few of them are
in perfect condition, and yet less than
an hours work would put the poorest
one in first class condition. Your
mail box is invariably the first thing
one sees when driving to farm home
and it's condition often leaves a last
ing impression. Take an hour of
some evening and treat your mail box
to a new coat of paint-white-an
give it a general fixing up.-Post
master, Askov.
