THE ROADSIDE PICNIC


TT IS pretty sight almost any
= where along the main roads OF
Washington now, to see the auto
mobile parties camping out by the
way, consuming their hard-boiled
eggs and coffee and ham sand
wiches. Many people Who could not
afford to put up at good hotels,
are yet able to take automobile
trips on this basis, and they get
no end of happiness out OF their
life in the open air.
The women folks, after their in
terminable dishwashing and cook
ing over stoves, enjoy the freedom
from labor which such Bohemian
living brings. 1t seems wonderful
to them to toss the paper plates
and paper wrappings into the
bushes, only they should be Nigh
ty careful to put their refuse
where it will not spoil the beauty
of the scenery.
Appetite makes a simple lunch
go a long way, and some of these
folks with their keen enjoyment
may get more benefit from their
plain meal than those who con-
sumo elaborate dinners in luxur-
ious surroundings.

A GOOD WORD

THE organization which undoubt-
= eddy does most for the town
and one whose members, perhaps,
seek least for personal renumer-
alton or commentator is the
Commercial club. Such a club is
an absolute necessity in any town
as a spokesman for the citizens as
q whole, as an organization which
may always be counted on to get
behind any civic enterprise, as a
club devoted to building up morale
and loyalty to the home town.
A Commercial club is to, the
town what the yell leader and yell
staff are to the high school or col
lege. 1t is a "gang" of business
men who get together once or
twice week and attempt to pep
things up. They build up town spir
it and town cooperation without
which any city would be pitiful
place in which to live.
Kennewick has a Commercial
club with a large membership,
considering the size Of the COM
munity, and an efficient set of Of
ficers. Doubtless you do not know,
and probably never will know, the
extent to which all the people who
live here are indebted to our
Chamber of commerce. The bust
est men of the town month after
month give up an evening a week
and often full days to attend COM
mittee meetings, make 'investiga-
tions, and study local needs. Natur-
ally they are partially recompens-
ed for this work whenever their
efforts result in a betterment of
conditions, but their reward and
benefit is no greater than that OF

But why and how did he get
her? He advertised. Not in mag

Club" But he advertised just the
same.
He Showed off, at picnics; did
stunts of physical skill where she
could see. His trousers were al

counting. His tie was of the latest
hue and pattern; He talked of big,
brave things in her presence. He
told her of the little home they
would acquire, and how it could be
done on his salary.
By the time she answered Eyes"
she knew who he was, where he
was, end what he was worth f.

EX-SERVICE MEN MAY
TAKE UP INSURANCE
Time is Extended to July 2, 1927.
The Limit is S1O,OO0.-A
Good Opportunity for Insur-
ance at Low Cost.

1t was in war-torn France. Back
in the last grim days of 1917, the 10th
Infantry, First Division, one of the
first American outfits cover there
was making final preparations to un-
dergo it's baptism of enemy fire. A
constant boom-boom could be heard
throughout the camp, but the menace
of being among the twisted wire and
schreeching shells within the next
few days was not the uppermost
thought in the minds of these dough-
ty Americans. They were thinking of
back home and hearts were heavy
for the uncertain welfare of their
loved ones in the event of their being
bumped Off"
Amid feverish preparations for an
early departure, the news was re-
ceived that the Government back home
had gone into the insurance business
for it's soldiers The officers of the
regiment were commanded to call the
men together and sign them up for
life insurance. An insurance value
of $4,000 had been placed on each
soldier, but this entire amount was
not compulsory.
With the end of the line in a mud

tenant wrote applications as fast as
a short set of simple questions could
be answered, Uncle Sans soldiers
were taking insurance while big guns

why don't you take ten?"
well, make it ten. Who can tell"
This was heard up and down the
line in that little French village as
the boys stepped off with lightened
hearts, ready to face the enemy. Those
who made the supreme sacrifice, as
many did, during the following ha-
zardous days left a cash estate to
those back home.
Today there is no war. Peace has
come and with discharge many of
the veterans allowed their insurance
to lapse, thinking all imminent dan
ger past. BUT-"Old-Age," Depend
ency," "Uninsurability," and Want

offng, more menacing by far than
rumbling cannons.

Dear Askov Friends:
Your letter of Nov. 1 together with
the check of $35 duly received. The

The misery is very great there this
winter and am so thankful for the

Mrs. N. S. Petersen has been in ill

The Askov Garage has fixed up an
automobile paint shop in the so-called

There are still some band dues to

Walter Frokjer of Centuria, Wis.,,
and Soren Jensen from Midtown, Wis,
were in Askov yesterday to look over
Mr.. Frokjer's farm, 51a miles east
of town. There is possibility that
Mr.. Frokjer will trade his farm here
for a farm in Midtown.
Mrs. Peter Johansen and baby re-
turned home Thursday from a couple
of weeks spent at Withee, Wis, with
her father who was recuperating from
an injury in which he sustained a
broken collar bone. Mrs. Johansen
left her father much improved. He
was up and about.
Bills are out announcing that the
players who presented Fixing it for
Father" here the first of the week,
will journey to Beroun Saturday eve
ming and give a performance there,
which also will be followed by a
dance to which Beroun's orchestra
will furnish music.
Anton J. Dietz returned to Askov
Friday from his trip to Winnipeg,
Canada, where he was married to Jo-
hanne Lund who came directly from
Denmark, as reported in the American
of two weeks ago. There is little
difficulty-certain proceedings to go
through-in order to get Mrs. Dietz
across the boundary from Canada so
she will be delayed few weeks in
coming to ASkOv.
The three act comedy, Fixing it
for Father, presented by local talent
under auspices of the Odd Fellow and
Rebekah lodges with Mogens Tuxen
as director, at the D. B. S. hall, Sun
day afternoon and Monday evening,
was we'll received, particularly by the
audience of nearly 800 Monday eve
ming. There are eleven characters
in the play and practically everyone
has an equally prominent part. The
play is full of action and excitement
as we'll as humor from start to finish
and the liberal applause given by the
audience indicated their appreciation
from the very beginning. The ex-
penses of putting on this play, as is
usually the case, came to a little over
500 but at that the committee in
charge expects to be able to report a
net balance of around $25. After the
play, lunch was enjoyed and then
came the dance to which poppy Or
chestra from Beroun, furnished music.
This was the first time that the Be
roun boys have played for dance in
Askov and their offerings were
much enjoyed by the dancers as we'll
as large number of spectators who
had had so good time at the play
that they did not seem anxious to go
home, and after hearing the Beroun
boys play they had even less in
clinatiOn to go. Summing the whole
affair up in a nutshell, it can be
said that it went over" fine and was
a success in all respects.
