to America in 1911. In 1925 he ar
rived in Cloverton from Minneapolis.
Since then he had made his home
with his brother-in-law and sister,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Ennerstrom.
During the World war he served
as a soldier in the American army
and belonged to the fourth anti-air-
craft battalion and his entire period
of service was about six months, about
four months being spent overseas.
He was a member of the Lutheran
church of West Keene near Cloverton.
Mr.. Carlson passed away at the
age of IS years. He leaves to mourn
his departure from this life, his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs Carl Johan Lar

on Wednesday, October 6, at the Lar
son funeral home in Sandstone, at
2 p. m. by Rev. Paul J. R. Peterson

two beautiful hymns and the generous
floral contributions spoke the esteem
in which the departed was held. The
service was we'll attended. The re-

More Large Spuds.

Since Ludwig Mosbak displayed a
potato weighing some ounces over
a pound, two more large ones have
come to the Askov American office
from Fred Saastad of near Bruno,
and Werner Nelson of near Askov.
The Saastad potato which contained
three potatoes in one, weighed two
pounds and six ounces, while the
Nelson potato, more perfect speci-
men, weight two pounds, three and
three-quarters ounces.
1t is apparent that if growers in
this section have their way, then
instead of buying spuds by the BUSH
ell, all one will need to do is go to
the dealer and say give me a half
dozen potatoes"
