FRIENDS HONOR
PETERSEN FAMILY
Twenty.fifth Wedding Anniversary is
Object of Gathering Sunday.-Have
Lived Here Nine Years.

A happy throng of friends and
neighbors gathered at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Niels L. Petersen south
east of Askov Sunday afternoon and
evening and helped them celebrate
the 25th anniversary of their we'd
ding. The time was spent in social
visiting and dancing. Several songs
were sung including one written es-
pecially for the occasion. The festivi-
ties took place in the hay NOW of the
barn which was neatly decorated and
where a delicious lunch was served
at IL o'clock.
Married I'm Denmark.
Mr.. and Mrs Petersen were married
in libby, Shetland, Denmark, June p,
1906, and farmed in the old country
until 1908 when they came to Austin,
Mimi, where they also took up farm
ing. They came to the Askov COM
munity March 1, 1922, where they
have worked diligently in building up
very nice farm. A beautiful flower
garden and grove is to be found there
and is always an object of painstaking
care of the family.
Five children have been born to this
union, one boy, Walter, and four girls,
Erna, Oda, Emmy and Francis. Wal
ter was unfortunately taken from
them four years ago by drowning in
Kettle river. Erna and Oda are en-
ployed in the Twin Cities while En-
my and Francis stay at home and are
students in the Askov high school
All the girls were home for the &C.
casion.
Relatives from away present were
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Hansen and two
children and Mrs. Hansen's mother
of Austin, and Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Chris
Jensen of Lansing.
After enjoying a wonderful few
hours in company with the Petersen
family the guests departed at mid
night wishing them many more happy
years of life together and this wish
will also be extended by many who
were not present at the event.
Following is a Danish song written
for the occasion by Mrs. Helga Her
mansen.

Representatives OF eastern. west

mated increase IN revenue OF 10

The petition was described as an
emergency measure to meet a slump

petition on fi,e within a week and
hope II will be treated as an en-
Urgency measure by the commits.
