attended the meeting and the former
gave some interesting information
relative to growing glads while Mrs.
Sommers spoke on how to attractively
arrange flowers.

The band concert and picnic in the
Kettle River Park Sunday sponsored
by the Askov Band was a success in
every respect. The weather was ideal
and people from all parts of the
county responded to the invitation,
the attendance being generally esti-
mated at 700 to 500. The band played
for As minutes after which the fol-
lowing gave short talks in the order
named: Svend Petersen, Askov; P. w.
Swedberg, Moose Lake; and VIM. H.
Barnick, Sandstone. Mr.. Barnick also
auctioned off the 65 piles of wood
which brought the neat sum of S47.40
thanks to the liberal and enthus-
iastic bidding of N. P. Jensen, AXel
Brus and others. The refreshment
stands brought profit of nearly $40;
and cash donations to the park were
S26 and about $50 in labor. The band
boys finished up the afternoon with
another hour of music which was
much appreciated by the big audience.
Most of the visitors took occasion to
view the various scenic points of the
park which have been improved and
made accessible. Paths to additional
scenery will be cleared this month
and a one way road out of the park
will also be constructed. The band
boys wish to extend thanks to the
many women and men who helped
them in making the affair such a
splendid success.
