High School.

The students are recovering from
the first attack of spring fever. They
are, however, looking forward to
spring. Various activities have been
started such as the class play and a
gym exhibition which will soon be
given. The Girls Glee club intends
to participate in the music festival in
Moose Lake in May.
The seniors are starting to think
more seriously of their future now,
also. The favorite topics are discus
sions concerning colleges and jobs.
Oh well, it all goes to making an
interesting world.
Gymnastics have come into the
foreground again. The boys gym
class has been preparing for the ex-
hibition to be staged in the D. B. S.
hall soon. Jumping over the box
and various other forms of exercise
make up the main part of the phys
ical education period. Volleyball oc-
cupieS the rest of the time.
Elementary Grades.
The first and second graders have
devised new system by which to
keep order in their classroom. Each
week pupils are elected to perform
certain duties. This week they are as
follows: Hall policemen, Alfred Jen-
sen and Adwell Steinhagen; plant
policeman, Alice Abrahamsen; pen
Gil policemen, Joy Petersen and Luz
ellie Meier.
There are now only two ships on
the black sea for spelling. The OBJ
ject is to get your name on the red
sea. The second graders are having
work tests
jeanette Johnson is still absent due
to illness.

ASKOV
Ladies' Aid Sale.

The Danish and English Ladies'
Aids have decided to jointly sponsor
a sale the latter part of April. A
definite date has not been established
yet, same depending somewhat on the
weather and road conditions. But
committees are now working on the
project which gives promise of be-
coming a bigger and better event than
ever.
They plan to start the evening with
a good program, then the sale and
finally lunch. Those in charge state
that they will be pleased to accept
gifts for the sale any time now; same
may be left with either Mrs. Carl
Thinesen or Mrs. Manford Nelson
Further detailed announcements will
be made later in April.

Church Funds Low.

Last week the local church board
named a committee of seven to assist
them with the collection of regular
dues and contributions to the church.
This committee, together with the
board members, is as follows: Chris
Henriksen, Aage Molby, MAIDS Nielsen,
Alvin ]. Jensen, Arnold Sorensen, r.
Petersen, Alfred L. Nielsen, Adolph
Jensen, Einar Jensen, c. Richard
Petersen, Chris Sandahl and Svend
Petersen. The village and community
has been divided into II districts and
each of the above men assigned to
certain district. They will likely
call in the near future as funds in
the treasury are low. G. Richard
Petersen is treasurer and is of course
ready to accept dues or contributions
any time that it is convenient for
anyone to call at the store.
Miss Sena Jorgensen was a passen-
ger to Minneapolis yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Svend Petersen were
callers in Minneapolis Friday.
Johannes Juhl, who has been in
Chicago for some time, returned to
Askov Tuesday.
Holger Mortensen went to Midtown,
Wis, yesterday for a visit at the home
of his brother, Niels.
Mrs. Ward Matherly left Tuesday
for Des Moines, Iowa, where Mr..
Matherly is employed.
Miss Ellen Mosbak came from
Iowa City, Iowa, to spend part of her
spring vacation with relatives here.
The black-top loop road through
the village has been closed to loads
over four tons gross weight, the same
as highway %.
The Misses Margaret Frederiksen
and June Kilstofte, university stu
dents, Minneapolis, returned to their
studies the first of this week, after
spending the annual spring vacation
at their respective homes.
The roller skating sport started off
with a bang in Askov Sunday when
there was a capacity attendance in
the d. B. S. hall. Presently the
schedule is for Sunday afternoon and
evening and also Thursday evenings.
In addition to the fine weather, an
other sure sign of spring is the fact
that the robins came back several
weeks ago and apparently are going
to stay; some reports state that the
martins are also here; and finally a
farmer east of town started working
in his field the 2Sth of March.
Carl Johansen returned from his
trip to the west coast Tuesday and
the following day started to work in
the Ferndale Nursery. Mr.. Johansen
went west last July and since that
time has been working at Junction
City, Oregon, and in the vicinity of
Buellton, Calf. About Christmas
time he was seriously injured in an
auto accident and has not been able
to work since.

The Platform.
Many hours of work were required
to take care of and adopt the plat
form for the coming campaign. Prac-
| tically every recommendation of the
Platform committee was sanctioned,
but a few amendments were made
and lot more coming mostly from
the extreme left-wingers were turned
down. The platform in its entirety
will be published next week.
Endorsements.
Finally late Saturday night the big
moments of the convention had ar
rived, not that it was to be a COM
plete surprise to anyone, but rather
because it was what the general pub
lie and each individual in the con-
vention were looking for most. Then,
too, there was prospect for little fun,
after the more seriousness of the
meeting had passed, in the selection
of candidates.
The selection of endorses was
quiet and peaceful enough in almost
every instance except when it came
to Harold R. Atwood, self-avowed
candidate for the Railroad & Ware
house post. For several weeks specu-
lation as to the administration forces
turning down Atwood has been on
the tongue of almost everyone in
speaking of the political situation and
that apparently, until the eleventh
hour, was the case. Finally it was
agreed that his name be placed be-
fore the convention. He was not
alone, however, in the aspirations
for that job as the Eighth district
wanted to put across Adolph Solem
of that section so that it could have
fight verged on bitterness at times
during the speeches which were made,
but the final roll call afforded At

by vote of 4631a to 4051a for Solem.
GundersOn Turned Down.
"The sins of the fathers, etc."
seemed to be visited down upon Rus
sci Gunderson, incumbent clerk of
the Supreme Court, and he was left
off the ticket. In his stead was
placed the name of l. c. Strout. Gun
derson had come out against the en-
dorsed candidate, Laura Naplin, in
1884, and defeated her in the state
wide election.
Only in one other case was there
fight on the floor of the convention
and that was in the lieutenant-gov-
ernorship endorsement. That was
between John j. Kinzer, administra-
ton choice; George Lommen, George
Hagen and DR.. Paul Hartig. The final
vote was, Kinzer 40, Lommen 227,
Hagen 121 and Hartig u.

A thorough survey of the Atlantic

So the association itself is taking up
the burden and is making trips out
into the Atlantic. On the initial ex-

Another sort of war dog, too, has

The American Kennel Gazette for

formed by dogs in this service.

been obtained, and the premiums will

This year there will be a special cash
prize of IS to the best of breed dog in
every breed which has an entry of six
or more dogs. The class prize money
will be awarded on a percentage basis,

prize money climbs as high as $40

There will be no sanction match at

yacht club in the country it always
was delightful affair.
