The village of Askov will get good
money to be spent for the purpose
of giving the unemployed work and
for the improvement of public pro-
jects, according to A. Henriksen, pres
ident of the council, who contacted
the State Board of Control in st. Paul
Tuesday. Mr.. Henriksen states that
$1430 will be allotted to a re-gravel-
ing project here Immediately and it
is expected that work will start the
latter part of this week. When it
was learned that the money was
available meeting of the business
men and others interested was held
in the village hall Monday evening
where suggestions as to the best ways
OF spending the money were heard
by the village council and this meet
ing resulted in the mayors visit to
st. Paul. According to Mr.. Henrik
sen the money must be used for labor
only and that this labor will be fur
nished by the Pine County Employ
ment Committee the same as for other
public projects. The money will be
an absolute federal gift to the village
with only the provision that it be
spent for labor.
A few years ago there was quite a
discussion concerning the question
of whether or not to have some Eng
lish services in the local Danish
Lutheran church in addition to the
Danish services. The result was that
English services were added and
which have since been kept up. With
the cutting down of immigration to
the United States that has been the
trend in foreign language commun-
tiles. Tyler, out in Lincoln county,
another Danish community, is to have
two English services each month.
The Tyler Journal reports it as fol-
lows: 1.-THE first Of the English serv-
ices we're conducted at the Danebod
Danish Lutheran church Sunday eve
ming, after decision had been reached
at a recent meeting of the congrega-
tion to hold two English services each

Rev. H. Strandskov, will be held, SO
far as possible on the evenings of the
second and fourth Sundays of each
month. Announcement will be made
