VIM. Goessele of Chicago, has
purchased the VIM. Erickson resi-
dence and plans to move his family
from Chicago to Askov next week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Erickson will sell their
household goods at public auction
on Monday after which they will
likely take little trip to the west
coast where their daughters are
located.
Committee members of the local
N. A. D. A. committee are now busy
selling advance tickets for its din
ner on June Z. Those in charge
ask that you purchase the tickets
now so that they will be able to
plan accordingly. The summer fes-
tival takes place in the village park
that afternoon and in the evening
there will be free moving pictures
in the D. B. S. hall.
Ted Clegg of Des Moines, Iowa,
who is at present visiting in Grand
Rapids, together with Lauflin Nc
Laughlin and Mr.. and Mrs. Lyal Nc
Laughlin and children of Grand
Rapids, came Friday and visited until
Monday at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

Ernie Clegg went cat fishing in the
ST. Croix river and report fairly
good results, coming home with
about 100 pounds of fish. The big
gest one weighed 10 pounds.

To Present ''Ordet''
At AskOv Sunday

Under auspices of the local Dan
ish Lutheran church, the Danish
play, "Ordet," will be presented in
the D. B. S. hall Sunday evening,
May 81. This play is being given
in several other leading Danish COM
munities and comes highly recon-
mended. 1t is presented in Danish
by students from Blair College, Blair,
Nebr., they being accompanied by
Rev. Paul c. Nyholn1, president of
the college, who introduces the play.
Arrangements have also been made
to have Rev. Nyholm preach in the
local church Sunday forenoon.
Joseph Alexis, professor at the
University of Nebraska and secretary
of the Society for the Advancement
of Scandinavian Study, recently made
this statement:
"The play should be repeated
wherever you can find an audience
that understands Danish. It is not
necessary that the listener be an ex-
pert in the Danish language to be
able to follow the plot of the play
The acting indicates often the thought
contained in the lines, so that even
one who knows little of the language
will understand. The students OF
Dana college are evidently getting
a good training in the pronunciation
of Danish. The lines were spoken
with ease and fluency, and there was
a naturalness in the presentation

High Costs Expected
To Cut Earnings Of
Eastern Bakers
RetuiI Prices Fail
To Keep Pace With
Sharp Flour Rise
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Earnings
of Eastern bakers will probably be
reduced by increased costs. labor
expenses, taxes tand material short
ages in coming months, according to
Fitch Investors Service after a COM
prehensive survey Of the industry.
Although the 1-cent. increase in
bread prices effected during the last
year was instrumental in maintain
ing profits, the service reports that
in most instances greater support
was supplied by higher resale prices
on cakes and sweet goods.
For 1912, demand promises we'll,
but the prospect Of higher operating
costs casts doubt upon the likelihood
of significant improvement in net
profits. Average retail bread prices,
today. are only 90 cent above the
year-ago price Of 7.8, a gain Of only
II per cent. while the average whole
sale price for standard patents flour
is up nearly 40 per cent, fully reflect
ing the wheat rise Moreover, the
fact that flour prices have climbed
16 per cent since the increase in
bread prices occurred along the At
lantic seabcard last August indi-
Gates that a further squeeze upon
profit margins is on the way. The
chances that Government authorities
will permit another 1-cent increase
in the near future are very slim.
Sugar Consumption Cut.
"In normal times, large bakeries
are able to pass on higher costs to
the customer in the form Of
increased prices for cakes and sweet
goods. Unless some unforeseen amel-
ioration of the sugar situation is
effected, however, such a procedure
will be rendered unusually difncult
Already, bakers are making icings
thinner, and eliminating goods re-
quiring high percentage Of sugar, in
order to conform with the 80 per
cent rationing system imposed upon
them by Washington Moreover, the

NEW YORK, March 2l.-The
