Miss Ingeborg Kilstofte was in
Hinckley Saturday to attend the an

uation exercises at the University of
Minnesota where her sister, Miss
Edith, is one of the graduates. Miss

final examinations.
The road to Sandstone was blocked
with snow last week after the storm
and remained so for several days.
Voluntary workers however have now
opened it up so that automobile traf-
fic is again in full swing between the
two villages. Several places required
considerable shoveling and in one
instance it is necessary to drive in
through a field, but with careful
driving it is easily passable.
Several Askovites were in Sandstone
Tuesday and incidentally viewed the
new Ford two door sedan that was on
display that day at Hawleys Garage.
On account of the scarcity yet of the
new cars several demonstrators are
being exhibited for day at time
i'm various towns throughout the coun-
try. Just when they will have one

from the wrong end of the alphabet.

The annual Christmas rush at the
post office will be at its peak COM
mencing with the first of next week.
Miss Bodil Fenger will assist the
present force and every possible &C
1commodation will be given the pub
lie. On account of the principal ar
rival of mail now coming in on the
forenoon train it will be necessary to
close the service windows while this
is being distributed, also during the
noon distribution. Good plain ad-
dresses in ink is big help, and also
enclose the name of the addressee
and sender in the package so that
if the address on the outside should
become damaged in transit it can be
opened and re-addressed by postal
employees. Buying two cent stamps in
large quantities also helps and is ap-
preciated. Remember that all par
GELS received after 1880 each day
must be held over until the following
forenoon. In receiving mail at the
please observe that insured parcels
must go to the north window, ordi-
nary parcels at the south window,
and first class at the center window.
