j. D. Dunn, and the high school
band will render several numbers.
No Filings.
The annual school election will be
held at the schoolhouse the evening
of Tuesday, May 20. In spite of Of
fetal public notices and mention in
the newspapers no one filed for cleo
ton. The incumbents, whose terms
expire, are Harry Mortensen and K.
L. Lund; as far as is known, both
are willing to accept reelection, but
neither one filed officially so their
names will not be on the ballot.
In fact the ballot will not have any
names on it as no one filed for the
2-year term which has to be filled
by election on account of Ludwig
Madsen's resignation, he havin G
served only one year of the Swear
term to which he was elected last
year. It is thought that K. L. Lund
and Harry Mortensen will both be re-
elected to the 3-year terms, but who
will take Mr.. Madsen's place is pref
ty much in the dark right now.
So as to avoid voting for those who
already are members of the board it
might be well to mention their names
here, namely: Mrs Manford Nelson,
Mrs. c. Richard Petersen and Adolf
Jensen. Annual reports of the dis
trict as well as other matters that
are to be brought up should result
in good attendance.
Edwin NJ Sorensen and Jacob Han
sen went to Minneapolis this morning
on business visit.
The Niels Hede and Carl c. Paulsen
families were Sunday visitors in West
Denmark, Wis.
Mrs. Maude Dunn came Friday
from Waseca and visited with her
son, j. D. Dunn, until Sunday.
Mrs. Tony Sebald's mother, Mrs.
Hilda Johnson, left yesterday for a
visit at Red Wing.
Mrs Gustaf Andersen left Mon
day for attention at the University
hospital, Minneapolis.
Miss Esther Bic visited with friends
in Duluth over the weekend, max
ing the round trip via the Great
Northern Railway.
A. G.. Danielson is driving a 1941
Nash sedan which he purchased re-
Gently at the Willow River agency
trading in his Chevrolet on the deal
Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Jorgensen and
daughter Ethel and A. Newman OF
Minneapolis, were Sunday callers al
the Mrs. L. P. Jacobsen home.
Plenty of moisture and warm
weather has produced an abundance
of grass-especially on the cemetery
If you haven't been there lately you
will be surprised to see how high
the grass is.
Wayne Lawson, MILFORD Olesen,
Emil Fogt, Arthur Olesen, Otto G.
Hoiberg and Ray c. Jensen were in
Minneapolis Saturday evening to hear
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and
Senator Henrik Shipstead speak at
the municipal auditorium.
Mrs. George c. H. Jensen returned
home the first part of this month
from Santa Barbara, Calf, where she
has been working since February
1910. During her absence Mr.. Jen-
sen has built residence in the east
part of the village, Mrs. Jensen re-
turning just in time to help with some
of the finishing touches.
The ideal spring planting weather
has caused real rush at the Fern
dale Nursery. At the present time
they have a crew of about 20 peo-
pie and they are all going full force.
Among the recent big orders that
have gone out are a truck-load of
select trees for Pillsbury in Mime
apolis and another truckload to Hor-
mel in Austin. From Is to so small
shipments go out daily by express
and parcel post.
Wayne Lawson, Askov buttermak-
er, announces that butter shipments
from the local creamery last week to-
tailed 10,130 pounds, being the larg-
est volume sent from here since the
spring of 1889. Perhaps the main
reason for the large butter produc-
ton is the early growing season this
year with the fine crop of pasture
grass brought on by heavy SHOWS last
winter and an abundance of rain and
warm sunshine the past few weeks.
