FINLAYSON CREAMERY
TO COST ABOUT $4,000

In an article in last weeks issue
of the American, telling of the plans
for the new Finlayson creamery, it
was stated the cost of the creamery
would be about $4,000. This was
correct insofar as the building alone
is concerned, and was the informa-
ton given the American. However,
the plant complete, including wiring,
plumbing, new boiler, ice plant, re-
frigerator, and so on, will bring the
estimated cost to about $4,000, c. L..
Smith, secretary of the Finlayson
Farmers Cooperative Creamery as
sociation announced.
Bonds in the amount of $4,000 to
finance the $4,000 project are to be
floated.

Pine County for State

Friday of This Week;

Year Held Success.
The past school year has not been
entirely without its rewards, and all
told must be considered a successful
one, it is conceded by the Askov staff.
High school debaters won two debates
to reach the finals for the county
championship; sixth graders took
third place in a statewide poster con-
test, and in the countrywide track
meet the local grades won two firsts
and one second place. These achieve
ments are, however, considered a
small part of the school work and
merely incidental.
Attendance during the year has not
been as well as it might have been.
Much illness during the year, togeth-
er with unusually bad roads during
the winter months, have contributed
to the lower attendance.
Five Teachers Returning.
With the closing of school next
week, several members of the present
staff will not return. All were re-
elected and those who have chosen
to remain for the coming year are,
Miss Mittlestadt, seventh grade; Miss
Strom, sixth grade; Miss Johnson,
fourth grade; Miss Gammelgaard, sec
ond grade, and Miss Justesen, first
grade.
Those who are leaving include Miss
Rorvig and Miss Melin of the high
school faculty; Miss Peterson, eighth
grade; Miss Yngve, fifth grade and

A. A. u. TITLE MEETS
AWARDED TO DENVER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 19-The
question whether an athlete can per-
form up to standard when transferred
to an altitude of $3.50 feet above sea
level came in for discussion by the
Amateur Athletic Union track and field
committee. 1t finally was answered in
the affirmative, and Denver was named
as the committees choice for the 1929
championships, senior and junior, to be
held about July 4.
Dan Ferris, secretary y-treasurer of the
Amateur Athletic Union, favored Dem
yer on the grounds that an athlete is an
athlete no matter how high you take
him and also in view of the fine per-
fCrmanceS of the Denver district stars
themselves. This side of the case also
was taken by j. Lyman Bingham, grad
uate manager of athletics at the Univer-
sity of Denver, and B. F. Stapleton.
mayor of the "Mile-High City," as we'll
as by members of the Nebraska delega-
ton, who said their athletes had parti-
cipated at Denver without being ham,
pered by the altitude. On the other side,
it was contended that in foot ball games
teams from lower attitudes have wilted
after the first quarter as a result of
the rarefied air.
The Denver University Stadium.
slated to be the scene of the games, has
a capacity of $4,000 and when COM
pleted will seat $4,000, the emissaries
from Colorado said.
