In an election held Friday, August 23,
for the issuance of $125 100000 bonds for
building, equipping and other improve

College, at Goodman, the issue met with
defeat by the narrow margin of 23 votes,
according to unofficial returns which
show 300 votes for the issue, with 1872

had passed by small margin but as
the remaining precincts in scattered
areas were registered, this lead was
overcome and eliminated to the extent
of majority against the issue.
The precincts of Parkinson, Tchula
and Bowling Green did not vote on the
project. 1t is a matter of comic
as to the outcome if they had participant
ed, many stated.

MANY ATTRACTIONS
AT FAIR IN ASKOV

The Askov-Sandstone fair which is
scheduled for August 20 and 80. will
offer many added features that will
make a trip to the fair well worth
while.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
there will be a large number of ex-
hibits which alone will be worth COM
ing to see; but in addition to this
there will be many commercial ex-
hibits including farm machinery, cleo
trio household utensils and appliances,
washing machines, farm lightin g
plant, four or five different makes of
automobiles, and likely a number of
other attractions of general interest.
In addition to the exhibits, it has
also been decided to have depart
ment for antiques and it is hoped
that all those who have antiques of
any kind will bring them in, and thus
help make the fair interesting. If
any have antiques which they wish to
sell it is quite likely that there will be
market for them at the fair as
parties interested in this particular
line have requested permission to pur-
chase same. The antiques will be
displayed in the school building and
will be in charge of Mrs. P. N. Fenger

Members of Bethlehems- Danish
Lutheran church at Askov met Sun
day afternoon in the basement of the
church and decided by ballot to send
call to the Rev. Arthur Fl Frost of

Perth Amboy, N. J. The Rev Frost
has been pastor at Dagmar for about
ten years. Mrs. Frost is a daughter
of Mrs. L. P. Jacobsen of this village
Bylaws of the local church require
two-thirds vote of those present to
call minister The Rev. Frost re-
ceived 81 votes out of 101 on the Sec
Ond ballot cast and hence the call
was sent to him. A reply has not yet
been received as to whether or not
he accepts the call. The 20 other
votes were scattered among seven
other pastors.
The congregation decided to leave
the salary the same for the new pas
tor as it has been for several years,
namely $500 per year and free use
of the parsonage. It. was also voted
to leave it in the hands of the church
board to sell the ten acre tract and
buildings, one mile north of town, to
best advantage
Saturday, August 18th. was set
aside as the day to finish up the
leveling off of the grounds just
north of the church and thus
make it better for parking purposes

the work and he will be glad to have
as many as can spare the time to
