Yesterday morning the industry
track of the railroad yards in Askov
reminded one of the good old days
There were none less than II re-
frigerator cars lined up along the
rutabaga houses-ready to be filled
that day. Apparently the railroad
company sent up one dozen cars in
stead of one as that was all that was
used. However, investigation dis
closed that they were all originally
scheduled for storage in the yards at
Sandstone and were hauled down
there last night. 1t might be added
that possibly" the mistake even af-
fected the price of potatoes as they
went up ten cents that day.
Miss Anna c. Yngve undoubtedly
holds the record of having taught in
the Askov school longer than any
other person without every missing
a single day on account of sickness.
The record however came to an end
during the recent epidemic Of flu.
Miss Yngve had to give in, and pos
Sibly went back to work too early
as she had a second attack last week
and has gone to her home in Cam
bridge to rest up thoroughly for a
month. Her place in the school has
been filled by Miss Ruby Sunwall
from Rush City who commenced here
Friday. Miss Yngve taught here for
eight consecutive years, then was
gone two years and has been back
here the last two years, thus she is
rounding out her tenth year of service
