transacted as may properly come be-
fore the meeting.
However, none of this can be real
lied until the people of this commun-
ity purchase sufficient stock in the
corporation. But those present at the
committee meeting were so thorough
ly satisfied with the proposition Of
fered by Mr.. Barr that they felt sure it
would be satisfactory to everyone in
terested in the project and that the
selling of stock would be an easy
matter. j. E. Barr's son, Donald,
came here yesterday, and in company
with local men he will call on prac-
tically everyone in the community and
explain the project in detail, and is
also able to answer any and all QueS-
tions relative to the business. He will
take orders for shares of stock in the
new corporation. Proper blanks for
this have already been printed and
are worded in such manner that the
stock may be purchased on suitable
payment plan, secured with non-in-
terest bearing note. Donald Barr is
very progressive and active young
man, thoroughly posted on the bust
ness end of the canning industry, and
the American joins with the COM
mittee in welcoming him to the COM
munity. He will likely be here the
most of this month after which he
goes on the road to sell the future
products of the factory.
The New England boiled dinner
which the Barr Corporation has re-
Gently put on the market has met
with such splendid success that they
already have orders for all and more
than they can produce at st. Cloud in
1880, and they haven't even started out
to try to sell it yet, which is generally
done in January; so it is almost a
foregone conclusion that the Askov
plant will be operated at full ca
pacity the very first year. 1t is plan
ned to handle all orders for full car
loads from the Askov plant and mixed
carloads from the st. Cloud plant.
Contracts for acreage will not be
signed up before early in the spring
Several suitable sites for the loca-
tion of the plant have been offered
but none will be selected in the i'm
mediate future, as the matter of room
for expansion must be given careful
consideration. 1t will likely be To-
Gated somewhere along the railroad
tracks within the village limits.
Much Stock Sold Already.
Donald Barr who came to Askov
yesterday to sell stock in the Askov-
Barr Corporation had, according to
the latest reports before this news
paper was printed sold $4,000 worth
of shares. This together with the
$4,000 promised by ]. E. Barr and
E. A.. Barthololemy of st. Cloud,
makes an excellent beginning on the
estimated amount to be raised.

CANNING CORP.
is ORGANIZED
Committee Meeting Mon
day Evening Results in
Definite Plans.
Plant Will be Home Owned,
Home Controlled; Stock
Will be Sold.

The committee in charge of the
canning factory project for Askov
held special meeting Monday eve
ming in the bank with ]. E. Barr of
ST. Cloud, and Mr.. Barr's son, Donald,
who came here with him. The COM
mittee had also asked few farmers
and business men to attend the meet
ing so as to get a wider range of
opinion on the matters that were to
come up for discussion.
The project of selling stock in the
]. E. Barr Canning Corporation, which
had been agreed upon here at for
mer meeting, has for the time being
been abandoned, first because the di-
rectors of the Barr Corporation did
not think the plan advisable at this
time, secondly because there would
be considerable delay in securing the
necessary permit for that plan, and
finally also because of local rumors
as to the low valuation of stock in
the Barr corporation. Mr.. Barr, how
thoroughly and satisfactorily to the
committee.
After thorough discussion of
the matter from all angles it was
decided unanimously by those present
to accept Mr.. Barr's original prOpO-
sition, namely that the factory be
home owned and home controlled with
Mr.. Barr as stakeholder to the ex-
tent of $4,000. The products to be
canned here will be packed under the
Barr label and the advertising and
sale will be handled by that corpora
ton at a cost of approximately s per
cent
Mr. Barr also stated that a fellow
stakeholder in the st. Cloud plant
Mr.. Barthololemy, had informed him
just before he came here that he
also would like to take $4,000 worth
ing the project here $4,000 start.
BY a unanimous vote it was de-
cided to organize company here un-
der the plan stated above, and the
new concern was named, "Askov-Barr
Corporation" A proposed set of ar
ticles of incorporation had been pre-
pared, and these were gone over point
for point and adopted; they were prac-
tically similar to those used by the
Barr Corporation in st. Cloud, and the
common stock carries only single Ii
ability; there being no preferred stock
for sale.
The first annual meeting of the cor
poration will be held on the first Tues
day after the second Monday in Janu-
airy, 1880, and board of five direc-
tors were selected to serve until that
time. The first board is as fol-
lows: Andrew ]. Larsen, president; j
z. Barr, vice president; v. S. Peter
sen, secretary-treasurer; A. P. Jensen
and Louis Olsen, directors.
The articles of incorporation were
signed, sealed and completed the same
evening and are now in transit to
the secretary of state and other Of
fcials to be recorded and will be
published in full in next weeks Amer
lean.
At the first annual meeting a set
of bylaws suitable to local stockhold-
ers will be adopted, permanent Off
GERS elected and such other matters

THIN WIRE STRAND
 IS TALKING BOOK
Bible Being Recorded for Repro
 duCtion by New Method

London, Nov. 15. UP)-The worlds bcst-sellcr, the Bible. has ] been written on numerous sur faces, from an eggshell to a book the height of a man, and in num- orons languages, from Sanskrit to Arabic. Now it is to be written" on mile or so of thin, tempered steel wire.
 The Bible will be the first speaking book produced as a re- suit Of an invention, which, by electromagnetic means, impresses sound on wire or metal strip. and enables it to be reproduced almost immediately.
 It Is the invennon Of Dr. Kurt Stille, q German. The Blattncr organization, of London has ioin- ed forces with the Telegraphie Patent Syndikat,N of Berlin, and the commercial control has passed to the British interests.
 The instrument is simple. The wire or metal strip is contained on spools. The recorder speaks in- 10 a microphone, and as the wire passes through the magnets - no bigger than matchbox - the sound is impressed, as it were, on the wire.
 The only time that nlapses be- fore reproduction is that taken for the wire to be wound back to it's original position. Sounds impress ed on the wire will not wear off. "copies" can be made, and there is no limit 10 the possible length of the record.
