THE MIRROR
"June Mad" to be Presented.
Askov Public Schools

The 1910 all high school play to
be presented May 10, is comedy in
three acts, entitled "June Mad" 1t
is royalty play written by Florence
Ryerson and Colin Clements and is
published by Samuel French.
The cast of characters includes:
Penny Wood, Dorothy Petersen;
Chuck Harris, Roger Sorensen; Mrs.
Wood, Olga Jensen; Elmer futile,
Fred Degerstrom; DR.. Wood, Jens
Lund; Effie, Ina Abrahamsen; Milly
Lou, jeanette Simonsen; c.. Mervyn
Roberts, Ralph Henriksen; Roger Van
Week, Eugene Lewiston; Mr.. Harris,
Harry Mortensen; Shirley Wentworth,
Ruby Jacobsen; Ralph Wentworth,
Jens Jensen; and Julie Harris, Del
phia Olesen.
The play is under the direction of
j. D. Dunn. The entire action of the
play takes place in the modern home
of the Woods. The play contains
many humorous incidents but notes
of seriousness are struck at various
intervals. Mrs. Wood and the doc
tor are typical American parents who
try to raise their children to the best
of their ability but find it very diff
ficult task. The squabbles, troubles
and romances of the children make
the play interesting from beginning
to end.
Music Festival.
Two school buses were needed to
transport the music organizations of
the Askov school to the music festival
in Barnum April 26. The group in
cluded the Junior High Girls Glee
club and Sextet, mixed chorus, Sen
ior High Girls Sextet and and Senior
High Girls Glee club.
The program consisted of three
parts: Vocal groups who sang in the
morning; the bands which played in
the afternoon, and the massed selec-
tons in the evening.

ASKOV
Fire Hazards.

Martin A. Nelson of Cloquet, State
Deputy Fire Marshal, was business
caller in Askov Tuesday. In dis
cussing general conditions in the vii
lage Mr.. Nelson stated that the best
fire insurance was fire prevention.
He called attention to several So
called minor things which property
owners are 'going to have done" but
just don't get around to do.
One of the major defects is made
quate electric wiring. A house or
business place is originally wired for
light only, then as the years go by
additional electric equipment is added
which results in the original entrance
line being overloaded, and continual
overlooking of electric wires means
that some day there will be fire.
Often temporary electric connec-
tons are forgotten and thus become
permanent; and when a temporary
connection is overloaded one has an
ideal set-up for fire.
Mr.. Nelson explained further that
when an electric line is overloaded
then one does not get full value of
the current consumed. Officials from
the power company will be more than
pleased to check wiring and load and
give corrective suggestions.

Have Fun
Yule Gift
Let Package Express Gay
Pleasure And Joy
OF Giving

Christmas joy depends not only
on the gift, but on how it's given.
For as much as tn material
worth of a packages contents, will
be treasured the thought that extra
moments were taken to think OF
some really original means to do
it up.
The thought behind a gift can
charmingly be expires led in the
very way it's wrapped. The de-
sign of the paper can be chosen
for its amusement interest.
An original jingle may be writ
ten across a sheet of solid color
wrapping paper. Or for sentiment
an appropriate decoration can be
tied into the Christmas ribbon bow.
So many new kinds of wrapping
paraphernalia are in the stores
this year, that every gift giver
will be inspired to creative effects
in Christmas packaging, each
package having it's own signifi-
canoe lot LQe IeClpleIlL.
Add a Rattle
Is it a gift for baby? Let an
inexpensive rattle tinkle merrily,
tied around the outside of the gift
package. Is it a gift for a lady
of fashion? Compliment her by
using her favorite color combina-
ton; perhaps vivid blue for the
paper md pale green for the rib
bon.
The sophisticate will find a feast
for the eyes in one of the new foil
papers, solid in color; a geometric
design embossed on its surface.
And for tailored effect, instead of
ribbon fastening, bright stick-on
tape can be used to form a design
as we'll as to seal the package.
The man absorbed by. a work
day world, will be refreshed and
charmed by a package done in one
of the widely striped papers, al
ternating bright color with silver
or gold. No bowknots for him
but transparent tape which will
close the package and leave it free
of doodads.
And the surge of patriotic feel
ing this year will lead many gift
givers to wrap every package leav-
ing their hands in gay red, white
and blue.
Matching Sets
Every sort of Christmas wrap
ping aid can be bought separately,
but most helpful n the matching
sets of paper, ribbon, gay tags and
Christmas seals in similar design
and coloring. And store counters
which sell Christmas tree trim
mings, toys and novelties will pro-
vide endless, inexpensive accents
to give each package its own dis
tinction.
After all the shopping is done
and every name on the gift list
accounted for-have a world OF fun
wrapping each gift as gaily as
your imagination will let you. 1t
will add to your own Christmas
joy, and help spread the jolly spirit
of the season. 5

For all men busily engaged in
training camps, learning the intri-
cacies of national defense, tn S
Christmas will inspire a p%articu-
lar kind of gift: one that will con-
tribute to personal comfort, and
span the gap of time and distance
away from home.
Some of the gift suggestions for
men in training are necessities
things to keep them warm, Snd
their possessions in good order,
Other thoughtful gifts may be
those little luxuries which bring
cheer anywhere; goodies that can
be shared with camp mates; re-
minders of favorite foods enjoyed
back home; and things to encour-
age frequent communication with
wife, mother, sweetheart or SIS
ter.
Aware of the keen desire of low
ing friends and relatives to add a
share of contentment to the new
life being lived by fellows who may
never have known army camp ex-
istence before, many local stores
are grouping wearables, gadgets,
foodstuffs and sundries in one
easy-to-shop department.
First on the want" list OF any
man who smokes, will be a carton
of cigarettes, or sever~l packages
of tobacco and a good pipe. A
