WEDDING BELLS
RING IN ASKOV
SOrensen-Petersen Nultial Vows are
Exchanged in Pretty Ceremony In
Danish Lutheran Church.

An impressive ceremony marked
the wedding of two of Askov's popu-
lar young people Sunday afternoon
at 4 o'clock in the Danish Lutheran
church by Rev. S. d. RodhOlm of
Des Moines, Iowa. The principals
were Miss Phyllis Petersen. daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Svend Petersen, and
Mr.. Edwin Sorensen, son of Mrs. Jens
Nielsen. The ceremony was consrm-
ated in the presence of a crowd that
filled the spacious church and amid
floral surroundings which spoke ST.
lently the loveliness of the occasion.
A 15-minute prelude of music fur
nished by Miss Evelyn Petersen at the
organ, Edmund Rix with the violin
and Anders Jensen in a vocal solo
ushered in the nuptial period when
Miss Eline Clausen waited on the
bride and Marvin Peterson acted as
groom's attendant. The bride ap-
preached the altar on the arm of her
father where the groom was waiting.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Sorensen have
spent their lives in the community
where they received their public
school education. Both also received
some training at Grand View College
at Des Moines, Iowa, and Mr.. Soren-
sen also studied some at the Uni
versity of Minnesota. He purchased
the Askov Hardware store the first
of this year and has established Lin
self for a prcspectively bright future
in the community.
The bride is a young lady with a
cheerful and genial personality which
has won for her many and lasting
friends among old and young. She
is active in the local Young Peoples
Society and was until recently en-
ployed as a stenographer in the office
of the Askov American since leaving
Grand View College a year ago.
Immediately after the ceremony the
wedding party and several relatives
were entertained at the Petersen
home at $50 dinner and approx
imately 100 invited guests were there
for a reception in the evening. Mr..
and Mrs. Sorensen left Sunday night
on a honeymoon trip which will take
them to many points of interest. They
expect to be at home in Askov some
time after the first of August.
A large circle of friends both near
and far will join in the extension
of best wishes to them for a long and
happy married life.

AskOU, Pine City
Agents Win Trip

JenS Hyldahl is somewhat of a
perennial plant in the garden of Stan
dard Oil agents. For the second year
in succession Mr.. Hyldahl had the
highest percentage of sales over his
quota of any agent in this district.
The annual reward for this is a two
day trip and entertainment to Duluth
with all expenses paid by the Standard
Oil Company. L. H. Johnson, Pine City
agent, was second high this year and
also received the trip.
First at bat when they arrived
at the head of the lakes city Tuesday
of last week was Dutch luncheon.
This was followed by Skyline drive;
a visit to the zoo and as a termina-
tion of the day, moonlight lake trip
on the Montauk.
The next day the hOnored guests
inspected the unloading process of the
Standard Oil tanker, the "E. J. Seu-
BERT" which carried a cargo of two
and one-half million gallons of gaso-
line from Whiting, Ind. to Duluth.
This boat, says Mr.. Hyldahl, burns
oil and its consumption is 10000 gal
Ions on a round trip from Whiting to
Duluth.
Among the other places visited on
the trip of inspection was the Karls-
brau Brewery and the visitors were
shown how the product was mixed
and traced it through to the final
stage.
Needless to say the agents who were
given the two days entertainment,
came away vowing to work hard for
the leadership in next years contest.

Denh0n, Farm, Will
Haze n NeU Barn

Thrift and good management is ex-
pressing itself in tangible form on the
0. H. Oswald farm west of Denham
and new gothic rooted barn will be
the result. The structure. being
erected by Oscar Weinberg and Eskel
Anderson, is well built of 34x6O feet
dimensions, and will house 20 COWS.
In metal stanchions, six horses and.
its loft will hold rs tons of hay.
The barn, practically completed, is.
being painted white and has 80 win
dows, thus insuring plenty of light.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oswald purchased the
farm from Mr.. Oswald's father in
1882, and have, besides making the.
payments and other expenses since.
saved enough to build this modern.
structure.

selves elsewhere, too.
There is, for instance, that little
matter of revising the Locarnc
treaties of 1926. France wanted new
treaties on the ground that Germany
by occupying the demilitarized Rhine
land had destroyed the already exist
ing agreements between herself
France and acknowledgements
guaranteed by Great Britain and
Italy.
AS it was deemed impossible to hold
a conference of all five powers at
Brussels, as had been originally
planned, a compromise was agreed to-
and in accordance with that Great
Britain, France and Belgium sent rep
resentatives to a preliminary confer
ence in London. The objective was
that of paving the way for larger
conference in which all signatory
powers would find it possible to par
ticipate.
And here were two difficulties:
While France did not want Germany
invited, Great Britain and Italy in
sisted that Germany be invited; the
other was that Italy, although invited
had no desire to attend as long as GER
tain treaties between Great Britain
and a group of Mediterranean powers
-allegedly directed against Italy
were still in force.
Under these circumstances there
was not much to expect from the pre-
liminary conference in London, and
nothing much was accomplished, for
the one concrete result bulletined was
that British and Belgian persuasion
made France agree to sending an in
vitation to Germany to partake in the
greater Locarno conference, tentative
ly scheduled for September or Octo-
Der.
Germany, apparently. is in no hurry
to accept. In Berlin it is said that
the matter of attending a new Locarno
conference is a very delicate one-one
