PUHIC'S INTEREST
 IN SCIENCE GROWS
@lnse During Half Century hE Ben Crtat

Washington. Nov. 30 R-The change which has come about in the relation of science to the public in the last 50 years is emphasized by Austin H. Clark of the National Museum, news manager of the American Association for the ad- vancement of Science. in the current issue of it's official publication, "Scl- ence."
 Asserting that this new public att tltude toward science makes neces- ssry a broa dening of the interests and contacts of research workers, he declares if is their duty to as- sist in making the picture clear and comprehensiye" through the news papers.
 Fifty years ago" he points out. every man was able to live his own life IS he saw fit within very broad limits. to amass wealth which was considered as his own and not sub ject to appraisal by others, to spend his entire income in any way he chose. or to pursue any kind of scientific activities he wished re- Esrdless of what others thought O: them.
 At the present time conditions are quite different. Every communi- ty takes . lively interest in the af- fairs and activities of each con- stituent member.
 The concrete idea of taxing a mans ability to smass wealth and his productive ability goes hand in hand with the abstract idea in the same way the community has a pro- prietary interest in the mental ca pacity or intellectual capital of ths, scientific worker and in the results of his researches.
 The millionaire and the lahorer alike now take a lively interest in the output of the research workers because both realize that their com bined efforts in organization. fi- nance, direction and production create the income from the endow- ment or personal capital that makes scientific work possible.
 The interest in science of the community as a whole is shown by the fact that at she present time all classes acquiesce in the setting aside for research work of increas- ingly large sums of money derived from general taxation"

LAST RITES AREHELD
FOR NELS ANDERSEN

Late Monday afternoon at 6 o'clock
marked the passing of another of
Askov's pioneers when Nels Andersen
breathed his last and passed to the
Great Beyond.
Mr.. Andersen's/ health had been
failing the past year or two and
since Christmas he had been very ill
and confined to his bed.
Nels Andersen was born at Kalund-
borg, SHETLAND, Denmark, on Dec. 4,
1850, and was past n years at the
time of his death. His parents died
when he was a small lad. He grew
to manhood in his native country and
emigrated to America in 1871 at the
age of p, settling first at Greenville,
Mich, where he spent six years work
ing at whatever employment he could
find. In 1877 he went to Marquette,
Nebr, where he later hOmesteaded on
100 acres of land and remained there
until he came to Askov with his fam
lily in 1910. In 1881 he was married
to Miss Christine Schroeder, who sur
wives him. He is also survived by
the following children: Hans, Aurora,
Nebr.; Mrs. Soren X. Christensen, Mrs.
Louis Elkjer, Henry, Martin, Mrs.
Otto Madsen, Viggo and Mrs, Conrad
Christensen, who all have their home
at Askov. They were all here for
the funeral except Hans and Viggo,
the latter being presently employed
at Pontiac, Mich. Two of the Ander-
sen children died in infancy and a
daughter, Miss Olga, passed away at
the age of II, four years ago.
When the Andersen family came to
Askov in 1910 they settled on the
present farm a half mile from the
village and built up a good farm of
100 acres. Mr.. Andersen busted him
self there until about eight years ago
when he and his wife bought resi-
dence in the village and moved into
| it and have since been retired. The
farm is now occupied by their son,
Martin. He followed the occupation
of farming all of his life and was an
aggressive, hard working man who
provided well for his family. Coming
to America shortly after the Civil war
and homesteading in Nebraska in the
early days he was naturally of the
type who could and did endure much
else than luxury and was amongst the
men who were builders of this west
ern country.
The funeral was held from the
home and the Danish Lutheran church
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. o. H.
Dyreborg officiating. The body was
given its final resting place in the
Askov cemetery, the pallbearers being
Fred johnson, R. S. Rasmussen, Hans
Clausen, A. Christensen, A. ]. Larsen,
and Peter Bovbjerg.
The sympathy of friends is ex-
tended to the bereaved relatives.

THE ROAD TO LOW LANDING
Editor Askov American.

Editor Askov American.
Dear Sir:
At the Farm Bureau meeting held
in the D. B. S. hall, Wednesday after
noon, March Z, the question was
brought up about making road to
Low Landing. Please permit us to
make few remarks to explain about
the work done by Askov Boy Scouts
on said road so far and of our future
plans.
Last fall before the ground froze,
the Askov Boy Scouts and some other
interested young folks went to Low
Landing and plowed the old logging
to about the fence which encloses the
bankers land.
We only plowed it then, so as to
give it a chance to pack and sink
more together during winter and it
was then our intention to finish the
job this spring as soon as the frost
leaves the ground.
Askov Boy Scouts got permission
to camp at Low Landing and fix the
road to that place by the owners of
the land and, we now having started,
would like to finish it. Help of
any kind this spring will be greatly
appreciated.
The Scouts have lately been plan
ming on making a little picnic place
out of our camp and we should like
advice from people who are interested.
AS to maintaining the road the Boy
Scouts are cooperative enough to
take turns dragging it when it is
needed. AS Askov Boy Scouts are
nearly all farm boys and can handle
horses and machinery properly, any
ways those who have worked with
teams for about five years, we think
they can be trusted as much on such
job as at home.
Now that we have the permission
of the owners, we should like to finish
