Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Kloeckner have

his household goods moved here from

The show entitled, "The Clifton
Entertainers" came to Askov Tuesday
and was greeted that evening in the
ID. B. S. hall by very small audience
in spite of the fact that the admission
was only 10 cents. Other entertain
ment and bad weather coupled with
insufficient advertising all contributed
to the poor results.
The committee in charge wishes to
call attention to the fact that the Dan
ish Lutheran congregation in Askov is
sponsoring collection of foodstuffs or
anything you wish to give to the Luth-
eran Welfare Society in Minneapolis
again this year. Please bring the
products that you wish to give to the
A. Henriksen or Louis Olsen ware

it is more convenient to give that.
Last week it was mentioned that
Niels Bukh and his Danish athletes
would appear in Minneapolis Nov. z;
it should be Monday evening, Nov. 8.
They will appear in st. Paul Nov. Z
and it is expected that a full house
will greet them at both places. The
trail High auditorium, located at 35th
Street and 4th Ave., South, Mime
apolis, and commences at 1880 p. M,
Nov. 9. General admission is SO cents
and IS cents for reserved seats. In
addition to the athletic, jumping and
agility performance there will also be
singing of old part songs, and Danish
folk dancing in old national costumes.
These athletes are on a world tour
and have been classed as nothing. less
than wonderful in the various coun-
tries that they have appeared.
The local Odd Fellow lodge will
have a special treat at their next
meeting when the secretary will read
a letter which he received the first
of this week from John A. Jacobsen.
Mr.. Jacobsen has not been heard from
for several years, and at times it has
been rumored that he must have died.
1t was rumored at one time that he
was killed in railroad accident in
the southern part of the state and last
winter it was feared for a time that
he had frozen to death in a lonely
cabin in the woods of northern Min
nesota. But the letter received this
week of course puts an end to all
alive and expects to go through the
hard times this winter without diff
Guilty as he works in a restaurant at
Roseau, near the Canadian border, and
is thus reasonably sure of getting
three meals a day. Incidentally he
also works in the woods, but this line
of business has become very slack as
the business depression is also felt
there. AS usual, John sent a nice
little check along to pay his 1. o. o.
F. dues few years in advance.
