CUPID WORKS
HARD AT ASK0v
Five Couples are Married
During the Past
Few Days.
ASkOV is Home of One or
Both of Each Contract
ing Pair.

Five couples have laughed at the
depression and joined hands with
cupid to further ridicule this 'old
fellow" which has made many a life
miserable during the past two years
when they joined themselves in bonds
of wedlock during the past few days.
Reporters of the American have been
busy running down clues and getting
facts on the various ones who have
joined in causing such goodly rec
ord of marriages to take place in any
one community at any one time and
therefore if any have been missed it
is because the days were not long
enough and the week did not contain
sufficient number of said days to per-
form in a more thorough manner.
To top off this perfect week of mar
riages in the Askov community the
Askov justice of the peace, Jens C.
Jensen, was called upon to perform
the solemn ceremony of joining Mr..
Roy Mowry and Miss Emma Christen-
Sen as man and wife. The wedding
o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the
presence of only Mrs. j. c. Jensen
and Mrs. A. G. Danielson who acted
as witnesses. The bride is the daugh-
ter of Fred Christensen of the Askov
community.
Mr.. Elmer Morgensen helped 70
swell the total of marriages in the
Askov community when he brought
home a bride Wednesday from Du-
luth where they were married in the
forenoon. The future Mrs. Morgen-
sen in girlhood life was Miss Lillian
Rasmussen, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
August Rasmussen of Cable, Wis. The
groom is one of two sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chris Morgensen west of Askov
and is we'll known here where he has

OF the time has been active on his
fathers farm.

Der rights on some land there and

sing interest to the AskOv community

took place Monday in the home vii
lage of the bride with Mrs. A. Jensen

about two years ago at which time
the romance commenced.

social, farming and athletic life of
