Loading Potatoes in Winter,

In conversation few days ago Mr.
Sam Hall, Of the firm of S. H. Hall &
Co., St. Paul, MIMI, said that north
ern growers of potatoes have no diff
Guilty in loading potatoes when the
thermometer is forty degrees below
zero.
''It is done in this way" said Mr..
Hall. I'm the fall, when potatoes are
dug, they are either buried in pits in
the field or they are kept in warm eel
lars When the time for hauling ar
rives they are first sacked and then
placed in sleigh beds which are lined
with sheep skins, wool side in. 1t may
be said, in passing, that all hauling
in Minnesota in winter is done with
sleighs. In loading, the sacks are
stood on end, instead of laid fiat, and a
common everyday lamp is placed in
each of the four corners of the sleigh
bed. The potatoes are we'll covered
and are then ready for their journey
to the station. They will stand a
days haul in the coolest weather with
out chilling, being fully as warm as in
| an A. r. T. car with salamander in
it, 1t is no trouble to load cars up
here at any time during the winter.
We are always prepared for cold
weather and take every precaution to
load in such way as to insure against
freezing in transit.
I'VE are going to have an extra
large crop this fall of as as fine pota-
toes. as ever crew. continued Mr..
Hall. After INDUCING in a little fig
uring, he backed up this statement by
giving an order for dozen carloads OF
potato sacks, to be shipped to the load.

UNCHAIN YOUR DOG.
The Lightning Rod Agent Is Headed
This Way.

Inc nOu Agent is headed
This Way.
The worst swindler in the world: is
the lightning rod man and after an alb
scence of several years he is again
working this way. He has a nice
story to tell Of how he can protect
your buildings from danger from light
ming but it is all in the story. His
wares are fraud and a de]usion and
his contracts are worse. The Swift
County Monitor tells this of their op-
erati0ns in that vicinity:
1T is reported that lightning rod
peddlers are working in some portions
of Swift county and have already
taken in a number of victims. Their
proposition seems so cheap that the
innocent are easily taken in. In one
case that was called to our notice, they
proposed putting up rods on a mans
house, representing that it would cost
him only $3.50. The estimate called
Tor aboutsl1 10 feet4of they told
the, farmer that they would put in 100
feet free Ito advertise their work.
charging him IS cents a foot for the
balance. But it seems that the con-
tract not only calls for payment at the
rate of 75c. per foot, but also that all
points are to be counted at 20 feet each.
Five points thus added 100 feet more,
and other extras still increased the
size of the job. It is easy to use up
300 feet of rod in this way and the can
vasser can easily afford to put in 100
feet free if he gets IS cents a foot for
the balance. And this is just what
the contract calls for, although not
one in twenty would notice the clause
that provides for the extras. Never
sign a contract without reading it
carefully. Then write across its face
This contract is not transferable and
calls for only $780, or whatever
amount may have been agreed upon.

This table shows that 80 per cent. of
the pupils enrolled are entitled to ap-
portionment. This percentage would
be largely increased and the schools of
the county greatly benefited if parents
would bear in mind that pupils must
attend 40 days to be entitled to draw
money from the State. At this time,
with the opening of the new school
year, parents should resolve to see
that each one of their children attends
the required time.

Stirred Again.

There is desire on the part of Gov.
Lind to make a change in the manage
ment of the St. Cloud reformatory and
although the board of managers has
twice refused to dismiss Supt. Houlton,
the governor still persists in his at
tempts to bring about this result.
Tuesday evenings Dispatch has page
devoted to the case and from this ar
ticle it would appear that charges are
on file with the governor which he
considers strong enough to cause the
board to make the desired change, but
if it does not he will take measures to
bring about the dismissal himself. F.
A. Whittier is said to be slated for the
position. Supt. Houlton is a fighter
and there will probably be warm
time before the incident closes.

Vacation Over.

Princeton's public schools opened
last Monday morning. The forenoon
was devoted to the work of organiza-
ton and the children were given
half holiday in the afternoon, it being
labor day. While Prof. White has
not yet taken a census he informs
the UNION that there is a very large
attendance. One particularly pleasing
fact connected with the opening of
the school year is that many pupils
who haze hitherto attended schools
abroad are enrolled here this year.
Princeton schools are forging ahead
and the people are not slow to appre-
ciate this fact.

Senator Gallery, Of La, was a
guest Of tbs Massachusetts, Reform
Club at its regular monthly ban
quet last week.
Senator Gallery spoke to the
toast 1.-THE Duty Of Public Man
to Himself, TO his District or STATE,
and to His Country" In part he
said:
Duty and truth are synony nous
in the sense that Shakespeare has
used them. Every man erects an
ideal standard to be his guide in the
affairs Of this world. When he is
true TO that standard he is true to
himself II he is true to himself,
true to the standard of duty, he
cannot be false to a private trust or
to a public obligation. Our simple
minded ancestors left the shores of
the old world with the set purpose
of living in a new world of freedom.
They builded in the course If time
a government whore corner stone
rests upon the consent OF the gov
erned.
1T is not too late to repair the
wrong Of the treaty Of Paris. The
better sense of the American people,
not the promoters, the jobbers, the
franchise hunters, the placement
the searchers after glory, may come
to the rescue Of our imperiled in
st.tutions. God grant they may
come soon.
The duty OF the legislator to his
state and to his country consists,
first, in squaring every act and vote
with The constitution, which he il
sworn t. support. Second, in per
forming every act and giving every
vote, In all constitutional legislation,
ulder the sane ion and approval OF
an honest conviction OF right
Neither flattely, nor threats, nor
censure must sway him from the
right. His patty may condemn,
conve ntions and meetings may CEN
sure; friends and enemies alike may
try to persuade, but conscience and
Judgment must rule.
"The curse Of any free country
is moral cowardice in its represent
atives. A sign of evil portent on
the part Of constituencies, ruled by
machines and bosses, is a DISPOSE
ton to make cheats and hypocrites
of their representatives. Instead Of
striking out boldly for principle and
right, many basely pander to error
and false doctrine for place and pelf
The power of the machine is smoth-
ering the voice Of the people, and
claiming the representative to the
chariot Of the boss as slave to do
his bidding.
Not long can representative
hold position against the public dis
approval Of his views. The remedy
Is in the hands Of the consti, uency.
An honest constituency will have an
honest representative. His duty to
them and to himself is to follow his
convictions.
Parties have no more rigl to
coerce political conscience than a
hierarchy of bishops have to coerce
the religious conscience. Luther
did not become an outcast when he
defed Rome. Nor can democrat
or republican or populist be
read out Of his political creed by the
aaathema Of political organization.
independence of judgment, and
courage to follow conscience, are
the shadow Of a great rock in q
wilderness Of servility to party die
tation.
"Imperialism, expansion and 9th
er like follies and crimes NAV come
and 60, but the republic will sur
vive. Let the commands of duty
fall upon public men unheeded and
disreg ar1ed and the republic is gone
forever"

A demurrer was sustained. The

to overthrow the 500 mortgage

trail committee, and it is understood
that Senator Wellington will comply at
