d. B. S. CELEBRATE
DOTH ANNIVERSARY
Members and Their Families Fill
Big Hall to Overlooking For
Enjoyable Evening.
By Osborne
an ~ we.ssvu rs.,.n. ar,ra-- :

The Askov lodge of the Danish
Brotherhood in America celebrated
their twentieth anniversary at their
hall Wednesday evening. The COM
mittee in charge had spent much
time in planning and preparing for
the event and their efforts were re-
warded with a full attendance and
an enjoyable evening from start to
finish.
:. The festivities commenced at 1880
in the evening when nearly 100 men,
bers sang one of their lodge songs,
after which Fritz Holm, president of
the lodge, bid the audience welcome.
A committee of five Danish Sisterhood
members then showed their skill by
having prepared fine banquet din
ner; they were assisted by approx
mately twenty-five young folks who
waited on tables and were alert to
see that everyone got all they wanted.
Following the banquet well bal
anced program was presented in an
plause; same being as follows: Song
by the audience; speech-lodge history
by Carl M. Madsen; piano solo by
Gertrude Kilstofte; vocal solo by
Henry Simonsgaard speech-D. S. S.
lodge by Mrs. Chris Hyldahl; cornet
solo by Sigvard Sorensen; vocal solo,
Mrs. Svend Petersen; speech-The
Danish Brotherhood, Harald Thomp-
sen; dialogue-A Treasurer's Troubles,
Mrs. Jens HenrikSen and ]. X. Lar
sen; song-written especially for the
occasion by Mrs. Jens Thomson, sung
by the audience.
1t was likely one of the biggest and
best social events that the Brother
hood has had in many years and will
be remembered as such for long
time by the many who attended.
A neat program had been printed
| for the occasion and the hall as we'll
as the tables was appropriately deco
| rated which added much to the sue
cess of the evening.
At the close of the program the
tables were cleared away and an old
| time dance was enjoyed for a couple
of hours to which C. P. christensen
and Geo. c. Jensen, with the assist
| ance of others, furnished the music.
Much more could be said about the
success of the evening but lack of
time prevents a full report.

STARK BROS. PUT UP
GOOD SHOW IN ASKOV

There is generally much doubt
about the reality of the various things.
advertised by the small town travel
ing circus. The display presented by
Stark Bros. in Askov yesterday, how,
ever, was far above the average
A metropolitan impression was:
gained as they gradually pulled into
town-there being in all twenty
trucks, eight trailers, two living cars,
two sedans, touring car, and con-
cession car. Their main tent is no
feet long and 80 feet wide, with
maximum seating capacity of $1,000
Their wild animal tent is 80 feet
long and in this they have a good
display of lions, monkeys, honey bears,
leopards, black bear, balloons, etc..
besides one of their main attractions
the baby elephant. They carry
from 40 to As people, comprising aero
bats, clowns, and the various circus;
performers.
They are well equipped in that they
have their own lighting plant and
cooking tent. They aim to make a
town every day and jump from 40 to
so miles each time.
The attendance at Askov was not
as good as had been expected. This
was due to other scheduled entertain
ment, and short notice of their COM
ing.

CHURCH MEETING AT
DIES MONIES WAS GOOD

The fiftieth annual conference of
the Danish Evangelical Lutheran
church of America which was held
at Des Moines, Iowa. last week from
June 9Th to 18th and which was at
tended by about Is people from Askov,
was a very good meeting. Many good
sermons and lectures were delivered
by able speakers and thinkers. Rev.
M. S. Blichfeld, former pastor of
churches in America, but who for
some years has been living in his
native country, Denmark, again, con-
tributed greatly to the meeting. Rev.
N. P. Gravengaard, who has been a
pastor in the Danish Lutheran church
the past thirty-five years and for the
past few years occupying the pulpit
in the Luther church opposite Grand
View College in Des Moines, from
which he has resigned, preached a
good sermon there Sunday morning,
giving a picture of the Danish Lu-
theran church in the past.
What was deemed by many the
best meeting of the week was the
missionary meeting where the prin-
cipal speakers were Miss Dagmar
Miller of Hampton, Iowa, who is home
on a visit from her duties as mission
airy in India, and DR.. Erling Oster-
gard of Tyler, Mimi, who will go to
India as a missionary after another
year of preparatory work. He will
spend the year in Denmark. To hear
these two young people talk in their
calm and modest manner filled the
hearts of their auditors with rever-
ence 1t is a noble work that they
go into and they are willing to give
up their lives in the fulfillment of
their duties. Miss Miller is sister
of County Superintendent of Schools
Jens P. Miller of Pine City.
Rev. Blichfeld will speak in Askov
on July 18th. He is on tour of
Danish settlements and is accompan-
led by Mrs. Blichfeld. He was at
one time pastor in Chicago and is
known to a number of people here.
