Mr. and Mrs. Chris Hansen, west of
town, Monday evening and made mer-
~ for a few hours. The occasion
was Mr. Hansen's birthday. Chris
felt so good that he got out his violin
and entertained on it, being accom-
panied on the guitar by his good
wife.
Jens Hyldahl is all smiles these
days, making his daily deliveries of
gasoline, kerosene, and oil for the
Standard Oil Co. to his many custom
ers in his new truck. He traded in
his old truck to the Sorensen-Miller
Co. and now has a brand new 1929

half ton truck. 1t is finished in blue
and looks nobby. He got it Friday.

cries at Askov and to farmers in the
various communities mentioned.

Hans Jensen of Tyler, came here
Tuesday and a deal was closed be-
tween Mr.. Jensen and Damgaard
Thygesen, southwest of town, whereby
they are to exchange farms before the
first of April. Mr.. Jensen had 12O
acre farm at Tyler and Mr.. Thygesen
40 acres here. The Askov community
will be sorry to see the Thygesen
family leave. Mr.. Thygesen is a hard
worker and for the past year has
been the efficient secretary of the
local cooperative creamery. Mrs.
ThygeSen'S parents who live at Tyler
are growing old and will need her at
tention now and then, that being one
of the principal reasons for making
the move. Mr.. Jensen is a butcher
by trade and may open up a meat
market in Askov. The community will
welcome him and his family here. II
was a pleasure to former Tyler folks
to see p. ]. Ehret or Phil as he is
known to his friends, even though his
visit in Askov was brief He and
Mr. Jensen left again Wednesday
noon. Phil looks hale and hearty and
is just as good natured as ever
