The initial supply of the new U. S.
currency arrived at the local bank
yesterday. The bills are approximate
ly one inch narrower and one inch
shorter. This reduction in the amount
of paper used will save the govern
ment about one and half million
dollars in the cost Of manufacture
each year. The new size will likely
be much more desirable to handle
than the old style.
In olden days it was customary to
have few empty egg. cases shipped
in by local freight to take care of the
local product of "the little red hen"
Now, however, the business has reach
ed such proportions that the Askov
Mercantile Co. finds it profitable to
have the empty cases shipped in i'm
carload lots. They received their first
carload yesterday direct from Chi
Cage. HdnullnS Inem IN tnlS manner
the freight from Chicago is only about
6 cents per case.
About 100 children and parents
gathered Sunday evening at the farm
home of Mr. and Mrs. Chris Frederik-

and entertainment. Interspersed with
singing by the audience, TIL. Stovring,
here from Denmark on a visit, told
three interesting fairy tales to an at
tentive audience seated on the grass
in the rock garden with a huge bond
fire out in front, which later fur
nished the hot embers for roasting the
weiners. With a hundred people
tramping around in the rock garden
at night, it was thought that most
of the flowers would be crushed but
an inspection of the place the fol-
lowing day failed to reveal any evil
dence of anyone having been there.
Parties interested in having one
