OVER 100 EAT AT
LEGION BANQUET
AskOv Post and Auxiliary Sponsor
Good Dinner and Rally to
Public.

The long expected American Legion
Cow Banquet was held In the Askov
D. B. S. hall last Thursday night
when over 100 we're served. The
sponsors of the affair, the Askov post
and Auxiliary, have been unfortunate
in picking date since one or two
planned dates had to be postponed
because of bad roads and weather
and even last Thursday the weather
was threatening with a quantity of
fresh snow on the ground to keep
many away who would have been
there. However, good program had
been arranged and was presented
after the banquet and dancing was
enjoyed with music furnished by the
Little German band.
State Figures Present.
After the last course of the excel
lent repast cooked and served by the
ladies of the Auxiliary, was disposed
of, A. M. Simonsen, commander of
the Askov post, took charge as master
of ceremonies and after few we'll
chosen words telling about the affair
and how it was brought about, called
upon Chris Eriksen to give welcome
in his capacity as mayor of the vii
lage. Mr.. Simonsen then introduced
Mrs. A. w. Conaway, president of the
Askov Auxiliary and who spoke few
words.
Mrs. w. P. Heesen of Osseo, state
president Of the Auxiliary, was then
introduced and told of the work of
the Auxiliary throughout the state,
it's disqualification work and other
phases of the program for this year.
Mrs. Heesen said that 80 more men,
bers were needed to enable the Dis
trict Auxiliary to go over the top in
the membership drive.
Mrs. Arthur Hastings of Osseo, dis
trict secretary of the Auxiliary, then
was introduced and she was followed
by selection by the Askov Little
German Band. after which Arthur
Hastings. district membership chair
man, spoke a few words. Mr.. Hast
ings, impressed with the music fur
nished by the Little German Band.
suggested a contest at the state con-
vention. The membership chairman
also commented on the membership of
the district saying that the enroll
ment of 1900 members is the largest
in the district for the past five or
six years. He gave much credit to
]. P. Hurley. district commander. and
to the Asl0ov and Willow River posts
for the fine record.
Charles Christensen of Hinckley,
former treasurer of the district, then
spoke few words in a humorous
vein after which the district COM
mander, j. p. Hurley Of Hinckley,
was introduced.
Tells of Getting Banquet Meat.
In response to considerable jibing
about the source of the meat for the
banquet and for a banquet served in
Anoka previously, Mr.. Hurley told of
the contest which he waged with an
other district commander to win the
COW. He exhibited the horns which
were nicely mounted and polished and
presented to him by Mr.. Hastings
Mr.. Hurley complimented and
thanked the Askov and Willow River
posts especially and others who
