4 HORSE DRAWN cart, loaded up
"A with bales of brownish stuff that
might have been dried grass, but
wasn't, went numbering down the
street the other forenoon. The sight
of it caught the interest of two oldish
ladies'. also in the. dried grass zone of
life:
"Oh, Jennie. look at the hay wagon!
Isn't it dear? Brings back the coun-

Yes. indeed. / almost cry when

or hollyhocks. Just smell the clover
in it. Sweeter than any perfume you
could buy"
The two cast friendly eyes that
were almost Wistful on the loaded
cart, and even after they had started
on, the one who had smelled clover
turned backward for another delicious
whiff
The little interchange of sentiment
attracted the attention of a couple of
men--father and son class-who
chanced to be walking behind the
nice, oldish ladies'.
It's my opinion" said the father
looking man to the son type; its
my opinion that the agricultural in
stinct is an Adam-inherited quality
common TO us all-and though /
never lived in the country, even SO
small a matter as a load of hay
hauled along the street gives me Il
throb Of upliftedness that no city

clover What in the mischief are
you laughing at?"
Because it isn't hay. That's

BUREAU OPENS MORE SCHOOLS

BUREAU OPENS MORE SCHOOLS Eight additional schools for na- tives in Alaska were opened by the Bureau of Education this year in various parts of Alaska. Appropria- tions for the work under the Bureau of Education, for the school year 1927-2S include $469,400 for the support of the schools, $150,00O for medical relief and $17,52O for the reindeer service.
 A shortage of funds is reported in the entire work so that each station has been requested to curtail every possible expense. It is quite pos sible that some stations may have to discontinue operations before the year is over.

GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY
OBSERVANCE PLANS

The committee in charge of the
Golden Rule Sunday campaign for
Askov and community met a few days
ago and decided to proceed with the
collection of money in the same man
ner as last year, with the exception
of the method of distributing the dir
ect appeal.
This year circular describing the
work, and blank check will be
mailed to each family or individual
receiving mail at the Askov post Of
flee on Friday morning; and it is re-
quested that so far as possible all
contributions should be sent in with
the school children Monday morning,
Dec. 5, and handed to the child's
teacher. Those who can not be &C
commodated that way may leave their
contribution at the bank or post office
or mail same to Miss Anna Yngve, To-
cal treasurer.
Should anyone fail to receive this
direct appeal in the mail Friday, then
it is evidently an oversight.

CHANGES IN MAIL
SERVICE AT ASKOV

With the discontinuance of the two
Great Northern night trains, the mail
service at the Askov post office has
been somewhat changed and to some
extent impaired. Train No. 10 which
used to come up from the Twin Cities
during the night, has been discon-
tinued and all the mail that came
on that is now routed over the North
ern Pacific line to Superior and then
comes to Askov at 1928 a. m. There
is no change in service on the noon
train. The two flyers both take
first class mail from Askov and throw
off first and second class mail.
South bound mail for train No. 10
must be in the post office by five
o'clock, and north bound for train No.
"a must be in by 5:55.
The dispatch of mail to train No.
%, 1923 a. m. is the same as always,
but all mail received between that
time and IL o'clock noon will be sent
north on the noon train and then
transferred to all directions from Su-
perior (this includes parcel post).

TUBERCULOSIS STILL
TAKING ITS TOLL

In Pine as we'll as every other
county in the state, tuberculosis has
been taking it's toll, year after year,
sofa Public Health Association in
connection with the annual sale of
Christmas Seals shows. A total of
80 people have died of tuberculosis
in Pine county in the last six years,
the report shows-an average over
Is per year. 1t is estimated that
there are now about 1876 active cases
in the county.
More than $4,000 Minnesota men,
women and children have been
killed by the White Plague in the
past ten years, states the report
which calls attention to the fact that
this is more than the entire popula-
ton of a city the size of Winona.
The fact that the largest percentage
of these deaths occurred between
the ages of 20 and IS, when the in
dividual is the greatest loss. is
brought out in the report. Last
year alone 1886 people of the state
died of this disease.
"Tuberculosis is durable if dis
covered early, and it is also pre-
ventable", a bulletin from the state
office explains. More clinics and
surveys to seek out the early cases,
more physical inspection and medi-
cal examinations of school children,
more nutrition classes and other pre-
ventive work are needed. Buy
Christmas Seals and help extend the
work in your own community and
throughout the state. No one is
safe from tuberculosis until all are
safe.'

DIETZ-BERG

The wedding of Mr.. Stephen Berg,
Minneapolis man, to Miss Mary G..
Dietz, occurred at the home of the
brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. John F..
Dietz, southwest of Askov, on Thanks
giving day, at p. m.
The bridal couple was attended by
Miss Hansine Fisher as bridesmaid
and Harold Fisher as best man. Rev.
o. H. Dyreborg performed the cere-
mony. Following the ceremony a
good wedding dinner was enjoyed.
Only relatives and the closest friends
were present.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Dietz, and has
grown to womanhood here, coming to
Askov with her parents from Lac Qui
Parle county seven years ago. For
the past two or three years she has
been employed in the Mill City where
she met her lifemate. The groom is
not known to many in this community
but gives the impression of being
a worthy young man. He is en-
ployed by bank. The happy young
couple will make their home in the
Mill City and will reside in the same
block where Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Dietz
reside, the former being a brother of
the bride.
The bridal couple were the recip-
tents of many beautiful and useful
gifts. Out-of-town folks at the we'd
ding were Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Dietz and
child of Minneapolis; and VIM. Dietz,
a brother of the bride, from Chat
field, and his lady friend.
After visiting relatives here until
Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Berg left for
Minneapolis to start up housekeeping
The American joins with friends in
extending congratulations and best
wishes for the future.
