SPRING GROOMING
FOR PRETTY LAWN

A beautiful and we'll kept lawn is
the basis of the garden picture for it
unites the various plant groups and
features in a pleasing and harmoni-
GUS whole, says a bulletin issued by
American Association of Nurserymen.
Such an important factor in creating
an inviting outdoor living room de-
serves special consideration at this
time so that the lawn will appear we'll
groomed throughout the coming sea-
son.
When the frost has left the ground
give the lawn a dressing with bone

and dry wood ashes ~ pound). Aft
er a shower or two has washed these
into the soil apply ground sheep ma

Old lawns should be renovated in
early spring by covering them with a

manure. Before applying this dress
ing roll the lawn while it is wet,
using heavy roller, and repeat after
the covering has been applied. Level
the ground by filling the hollows and
shaving down the mounds, then roll
again.
Seeding a new lawn in spring is
best done as early as the ground can
be worked. Prepare the soil thor
oughly by digging, raking and rolling
until the surface is smooth, hard and
even. Grass is a gross feeder and
fertilizer is most necessary in OBJ
tanning attractive results. Well rot
ted manure or one of the reliable pre-
pared fertilizers should be applied
and raked into the surface. Don't
make the mistake of blowing the fer
tilizer in for it will then be buried
beyond the reach of the grass roots.
To insure even distribution of the
seed stretch strings as guides from
end to end and side to side about s
feet apart. Sow half the amount of
seed lengthwise and the remaining
half crosswise in strips between pairs
of the strings. After the seed has
been sown rake the lawn lightly and
then roll thoroughly.
When the growth starts apply 6
pounds of soda nitrate Tor ammonium
sulphate) superphosphate and sui
plate Tor muriate) of potash to each
thousand square feet. Repeat in ear
ly June and again when fall rains
start in September If rain does not
follow after you have applied these
chemicals be sure to wash them into
the ground with the hose or they will
burn the plants.
Allow the grass to grow to a height
of three inches and then give the first
cutting with the mower set to cut two
inches above the ground.

FRANDS JENSEN
PASSES AWAY
AskOv Community Resident Would
Have Been Is I'm June.-FOur
Children Survive.

The ASkOv community and sons and
of good citizen and kind father Fri
day when death took Frauds Jensen
who resided with his son, Marinus,
five and one-half miles northeast of
the village. Mr.. Jensen who would
have been 76 years of age in June
had been ill with hardening of the
liver for the past two years and many
times recently had become so low that
relatives and others in attendance at
his bedside had despaired of his life,
but each time he had rallied until
at last with each day gradually bring
ing on a more weakened condition he
slept quietly and peacefully away.
Frauds Jensen was born in Winding,
Denmark, on June IA, 1855, in which
country he was married to Miss Chris
tine Petersen on Nov. 3, 1882, where
all of their children were born. The
Jensens came to the United States in
1905 settling first in the Ruskin Ne
braska community. There the family
lived until 1916 when they came to
Askov. Mrs. Jensen passed away in
Ruskin in 1914. Upon coming to
Askov the Jensens began their resi-
dence on the farm now occupied by
the Geo. c. H. Jensen family which
they farmed three years after which
they lived on various places.
Coming to the Askov community in
1915, the deceased saw much of the
building up of this progressive COM
munity and he in turn witnessed many
hardships such as have helped to
cement a spirit of cooperation in the
hearts of those making this commun-
ity their homes.
Mr.. Jensen leaves a memory in the
hearts of his children as being kind
and loving father and an unassuming
citizen and will be missed greatly by
them even though they know that he
left them in the sunset of his life.
Mrs. Geo. C. H. Jensen, Jacob, Marinus
and Jens ]. Jensen remain in the
Askov community to survive him
while another boy, Jens, passed on
before in infancy.
The funeral was held in the Askov
Danish Lutheran church of which Mr.
Jensen had been member. The burial
took place in the Askov cemetery Sat-
urday after the ceremony conducted by
the Rev. A. E. Frost at 2 p. m. Jens
Krogh, Fred Christensen, Hans Abra-
hanson, Niels Serritslev, Jorgen Jen-
sen and Theodore Jensen acted as
pallbearers. Many beautiful flowers
denoted the esteem in which the de-
ceased was held.
The American and the entire COM
munity join in extending coincidence
to the bereaved relatives.

First Governor in
Many Addresses
Without MOUinq

A st. Paul daily newspaper con-
tanned an interesting feature on the
life of Minnesota's first governor and
narrated the fact that keeping posted
on the address of his permanent"
home at Mendoza must have been a
major problem for General Henry
Hastings Sibley, Indian fighter. treaty
maker and first Governor of Mime
sofa.
The yellow stone house built on
the bluffs overlooking both the Mis-
sissippi and Minnesota rivers-now an
historical museum filled with early
Minnesota treasurers-has seen more
territory from its original site than
any other solid stone house in the
state.
During the % years that General
Sibley lived at Mendoza, from 1885
until 1863, mail intended to reach his
home was addressed to five different
territories and final to the state of
Minnesota. The territories were des-
ignated as Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Unorganized Indian territory
and Minnesota Territory.
General Sibley battled in Washing
ton for one of the changes of adj
dress, the one which put Mendoza in
Minnesota territory and made a State
address for the Sibley house possible
When Missouri was made a state
in 1920, that portion of the old ter
ritory not contained within it's boun-
daries remained Missouri Territory.
General Sibley just had gotten
settled in his house and had become
accustomed to seeing his mail adj
dressed to Michigan Territory when
the first major name change was
made.
In 1886 all those lands that were
known in 1884 and 1885 as Michigan
Territory were designated Wisconsin
Territory and two years later, in 1888,
the lands on the east bank of the
Mississippi were given the name Wis
consin Territory and those on the
west bank, where the Sibley house
was situated, were called Iowa Terri
tory.
These designations prevailed until
1916. Then the lands west of the
Mississippi were called, for short
time, Unorganized Indian Territory.
In 1S48 Wisconsin, on the east bank
of the River, was admitted to the
Union. -
Then General Sibley became inter-
ested in the address problem, and
proceeded to go about making another
one for his house. That strip of old

Wisconsin Territory between the St
Croix and Mississippi rivers was
neither a part of Wisconsin state mol
was it officially territory. The peo-
pie residing there commended they
were living in Wisconsin Territory SC
the Secretary of State of Wisconsin
proper ordered that they have an cleo
ton and send man to Congress.
Territorial officers when appointed
did not live in the territory they gov
erned ordinarily, but an elective Off
Ger was supposed to be resident
But General Sibley, living on the west
bank of the river and out of the
trump" of Wisconsin was elected to
represent those peoples in Congress.
In 1849 Minnesota, the northern
part of the Indian Territory, was
designated bona fide territory.
In 1858 Minnesota was admitted to
statehood.
General Sibley himself was greatly
amused by the territorial changes.
According to Willoughby Babcock,
curator of the Minnesota Historical
Society museum, he once said that
he has been successfully a citizen of
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Min
nesota territories.
Because of these rapid boundary
changes during General Sibley's life
in the Mendoza house all kinds of
myths based on half truths were
circulated.
Tradition is that in one room of the
Sibley house, children were born,
each in a different state.
According to Mr.. Babcock the story
is erroneous because the first two
changes of name, Michigan and Wis
consin, occurred before General Sib-
ley's marriage.
Because of the story Historical So
ciety research workers have prepared
slides showing Minnesota boundary
changes.
