With the aid of the village fire
fighting apparatus and some willing
workers the proposed ice rink by the
school was flooded Saturday. Inc
warm weather the first of this week
turned it into lake and some OF the

surely provide lot of good healthy
sport for those interested in that line.
The Askov Cooperative association
sold their 6-by-S-foot freight elevator
last Thursday to the American Pub
fishing Co., and workmen moved 1t
the following day. The feed store has
not used the elevator for several years,
and at the present time it was not In
running condition, so it merely took
up valuable space. 1t is now being
installed in the American building
and will be used for hauling paper
and metal from the basement to the
main floor.
There was a good attendance at the
special meeting of the local American
Legion post, held Monday evening, anC

a consideration of $500, the location
of same being due south of the Jen
Frokjer residence and is 70 feet wide
by about 442 feet long. 1t is the in
tention of the members of the Legion
to construct their home out of nativ'
logs, and according to the drawing o
it, made by Marinus Jensen, it will b.
a fine looking structure and witt
