Keep Cool.

Not to aggravate anybody's temper.
am willing to concede that one may be
overcome by the heat, for little while,
but Mt all costs I must insist that the
reports of fatalities from heat exhaus-
ton or heat prostration are highly col
ored. without committing myself in
extricably I will say that In every
case Of alleged heat prostration I have
ever seen there has been something
the matter with the patient; mean he
was a seriously sick man regardless OF
the heat He happened 70 collapse. or
call for the doctor, on O WarTnish day.
That's all there Is TO this heat proStra-
ton business, In my judgment. OF
course. we know that heat stroke and
heat exhaustion both happen in situa-
lions where men are exposed TO I'M
as in the stokeholds of great steam
ships and In the blast furnace depart
mentS of steel mills.
The question of how to keep cool in
weather such as We have Is not one
Of life and death. but simply one of
comfort. The frightful toll Of lives
attributed to the heat in other cities
than ours somehow reminds me Of the
terrible way In which the very recent
fiu epidemic ragged in other places than
the home town; or II one visited any
other place, than the old home town
seemed to be most alarmingly stricken.
1t is like being bitten by a rattlesnake;
II you fail to die promptly when bitten
by any kind Of snake, or even when a
snake just Kisses at you, your case gets
precious little attention and doeSn' t
count for much In teaching the public
about the comparative innocuousness of
most snake bites, nor does 1t aid APP
preciably in the attempt to educate the
public about the harmlessness and the
actual value to man Of most Of our
common snakes.

Of tales appertaining to this grand old
rite. Indeed, a Teller ought to try to
get warmed up considerably before
jumping in, So he can keep warm and
stay In longer with comfort. It is not
only cruel and namby-pamby, but is
really unwise for q boy to sit around
waiting until his skin and his enthu-
siasm are cooled of before he enters
the water for a swim.
Some people harbor a queer fancy

Sue: With light brown hair, blue
gray eyes, your most becoming colorS
will be all shades of blue except very
pale ones. because the bright or dark
shades will deepen the blue or gray
coloring of your eyes. All browns will
also enrich the color of your hair, and
then there will be many combinations
that will be becoming also, such as
rose color, deep red shades and color
that partake of brown and red, such
as henna, or burnt orange. The one
thing to remember is to deepen the
coloring of your eyes and hair, and not
wear light and neutral tones, because
these, unless they have. life in them,
such as pink has, will make you appear
very pale.

ASkOv Community Club Holds Meet
and Decides on PrOject.-En-
tertainment Rendered.

The ASkOv community club held a
family party last night at the d. B.
S. hall and approximately $50 were
present. A program had been ar
ranged for the event and many a
laugh was enjoyed by those present
The program had been arranged
for the purpose of securing members
and to secure some kind of an idea
how many of the community were in
favor of building road down to
the Kettle river for park purposes
as well as making it possible for a
the pavement.
A short one-act play was staged and
emitted many side-splitting laugh
among the audience. The play was
followed by an act, where Alexander
Paulsen and a cleverly arranged horse
Spark Plug) were the chief charact-
ers. This act was well rendered and
deserved the hearty applause given
it by the audience. The fun side
of the program was terminated by a

Purpose of the Club.
At the outset of the evenings en-
tertainment, Chairman Svend Petersen
explained briefly, the purpose of the
club and what the meeting was for,
saying the one main project for the
club this summer, was to build a road
to what is known as high landing on
Kettle river. The project, as ex-
planned will cover a distance of two
and one-fourth miles to the river, two
miles of which are already built,
and it is the intention to build this
road this summer so that the scenery
and facilities of a camp may be en-
jOyed down near the river 1t was
also brought out by the chairman that
in view of the fact there are no rail-
roads to cross, together with it being
the shortest route to pavement No. 1,
it would be possible that the state
would, in the near future, build a
bridge across the river at that point,
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1929-04-25

since it is the most logical place to
reach the trail running through the
villages of eastern Pine county to
Superior and Duluth. Then too, if
this road building project is carried
out, it will be more easy to hustle the
bridge building along.
After lunch was served, those inter-
ested gathered down in the basement
and unanimously voted to carry out
the project and no doubt, work on the
road will begin in the near future
After the evenings entertainment,
dancing was enjoyed by those who
cared to participate.
