Many friends and neighbors called
on Mr.. and Mrs. Lars P. Jensen last
night to help them celebrate their
birthdays which incidentally is on the
same day.
Conrad Christensen and Ludwig
Madsen attended the annual state con-
vention of the Minnesota d. B. s.
lodges, in st. Paul, Saturday and Sun
day. Mr.. Christensen went as dele
gate from the local lodge.
An extra gang on the Great North
ern railway pulled in here yesterday
morning and are putting in new ties
and otherwise fixing up the track
Several of them are driving in their
own automobiles in preference to the
regulation railroad cars.
Mrs. H. c. Hansen came here the
first of the week from Cedar Falls,
Iowa, where she had been visiting.
Mr.. Hansen has decided to locate
permanently in Superior, Wis, and
they are preparing now to move their
household goods up there.
That part of the Young Peoples
Society program scheduled for the
evening of the Fourth of July has
been cancelled on account of the local
American Legion Posts dance in the
d. b. S. hail. The afternoon program
will be carried out according to pre-
vious announcements.
Mr.. and Mrs. Svend Petersen and
three children and Miss Krista Thorn
sen motored to Anoka Saturday morn
ing for a visit with the Jens Thomson
family who are there for few weeks.
Mr.. Petersen went on to st. Paul to
attend the state D. B. S. convention of
which organization he is secretary.
They returned home Monday noon.
c.. p Kappel went to ST. Paul Sat-
urday to attend the annual d. B. S.
convention and picnic. While riding
on a street car there Sunday he ac-
cidentally met friend and former
neighbor from his home town in Den
mark whom he had not seen since
leaving there. Needless to say that
the two old fellows had a pleasant
visit and forgot all about the picnic
at Long lake. Mr.. Kappel also called
on Geo. Schroll while there relative to
business matters.
Nels Johnson of SissetOn, S. D.,
arrived here in Askov by train Sat-
urday with ten head of farm horses
that he is now selling, and which he
has advertised in this weeks issue
of the American. The horses can be
seen at the church barn. Mr.. Johnson
was accompanied on the trip here by
Robert Dykes, a young man from Sis
seton who is helping him care for the
horses. Mr.. Johnson has been in the
habit of coming to AskOv with horses
once or twice year for the past few
years.
Col. VIM. II. Barnick of Sandstone.
was an Askov caller one day recently.
Mr.. Barnick was accompanied by his
little son, Michael, who was sort of
looking over the town. Michael who
is about five or six years old was
quite pleased with the surroundings,
and judging from his voice one would
gather that he might be an auctiOneer
some day and perhaps even go his dad
one better in that business. The
Askov latch strings are out on the
door and awaiting the visit of Michael
as well as his father at any time.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Thomas and
two children, Lucie and Richard, ac-
companied by Mr.. Thomas brother
ip-law. VIM. McLevis from Windemere
township, were callers in Askov Sat
urday on their return home from Pine
City. Mr. Thomas had been to the
court house to deliver his assessment
books, having just completed his work
as assessor of Windemere township.
Mr.. Thomas was formerly county COM
missioner from the Fifth district. At
that time Windemere belonged to the
Fifth district but since the re-district-
ing of the county about six years
ago Windemere township became a
part of the Fourth commissioner dis
trict. The American acknowledges a
pleasant call from Mr.. Thomas Sat
urday.
