Death Sewers
57-Year Tie

Death broke long marriage tie
in the Askov community Friday when
Jens M. Larsen passed away at the
age of 80 years, three months and &c
days.
Mr.. Larsen was born in Denmark
Feb. s, 1854, and came to the United
States in 1877, where he resided in
Nebraska. He was later married to
Miss Karen Henriksen at kellogg,
Iowa, on Sept. %, 1879. The couple
came to Askov in 1916 where Mr..
Larsen bought land and built up the
good farm home where he died. He
was member of the Danish Luth-
eran church in Askov and was a good
neighbor and progressive farmer.
Friends Mark Wedding Date.
The photograph printed herewith
shows Mr.. and Mrs. Larsen at the
time of their golden wedding ami
versary observance in Askov on Sept.
%, 1929. For this occasion the Dan
ish Brotherhood Lodge of Askov ar
ranged a pleasant celebration in it's
large hall on the evening of that day
at which approximately $50 people at
tended and took part. The honored
guests were escorted to the hall &C
cOmpanied by their relatives and
seated at the head table where var
ious ones bid them welcome and
spoke of their happy associations to-
gether.
The Larsens were happy tosether
and in the community; this fact was
also attested to by Rev. o. H. Dyre-
borg. Askov minister at that time,
who read a poem on happiness, what
it means, and expressed the thought
that the Larsens have enjoyed the
much sought happiness in their home
and in their environments through
these many years and which, to a
large extent, had been brought on by
their own thrift.
Mr.. Larsen and wife had built char
acter and friendship through appli-
cation and attention to duty and this
character is what is needed to be
woven into community life for the
general happiness and progress of all.
This character will also be missed
greatly in the departure of this old
resident of Askov
The Larsens had been the parents
of seven children. One boy died at
the age of six and two other boys died
in infancy. The four living children
who survive with their mother are
Mrs. Charlie Bridge and Mrs Clifford
Klinger of North Loup, Nebr.; Henry
larsen and Mrs. Jens Abrahamsen of
Askov.
Funeral services were held from
the Danish Evangelical Lutheran
church in Askov Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock when Rev. jobs. Knudsen
preached the sermon. Burial was
made in the Askov cemetery.
The community is saddened by the
loss of Mr.. Larsen and sincere SYM
pathy is extended by large group
of friends and neighbors to the be-
reaved family.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Poison Gas has Won.
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Early this week the Italian legions
entered Adds Ababa, the capital CT
ty of Ethiopia, as victors. They found
a burning city through whose streets
maddened mobs rushed, shooting at
foreigners and setting fire to build
ings; they found capital abandoned
by the ruler of the country, for EN-
peror Halle Selassie had fled to
French territory, and there he en-
trusted himself to the care of the
British who transported him and his
encourage aboard a warship to Alden;
it was said that his ultimate desti-
nation would be Jerusalem although
it had been reported earlier that he
was to take up his future residence
in London.
Inevitable Collapse.
The collapse of the Ethiopian re-
sistance to the invaders was newt
able in view of the fact that the Ital-
ians used not merely the sOcalled le-
ultimate modern weapons and me-
thods of war but also-as they them
selves admitted in Geneva-the lille
ultimate method of spraying their
enemies with poison gas. 1t is no
thing less than a wonder that the
Ethiopians held out as long as they
did-seven months-but their patriot
ism, their bravery, in the end, availed
them nothing; their defense crumbled
at last in the face of the ferocious on
Slaught of a highly mOderniZed a
thoroughly mechanical army which
claimed to fight in the name of Chris
tian civilization.
Halle Selassie, realizing that re-
sistance from now on would be utterly
futile, chose to flee. Some denounce
him as coward, others consider him
prudent because by his act he I'M
doubtedly averted further useless
shedding of human blood. He, his
wife and some other members of his
family entrained last Saturday for
Djibouti in French Somaliland; tele-
phonic conferences between the Brit
ish and French governments resulted
in a decision to let him seek perma-
nent refuge in Palestine, for, the Brit
ish cabinet in London solemnly de-
clared-"after all, we owe him con-
sideration of some kind"
Riots.
AS soon as the word got around that
the emperor had left the country,
riots broke out in Adds Ababa; there
