Iowa Farmers Buy Our Land.
Geo. A. Munson and H. J. Chandler
OF Riceville, Iowa, were in Princeton
last week for the purpose of looking up
land in this section. Mr.. Munson has
made several trips to this section and
the first time he was here was about
six years ago. He noticed good many
changes in the development of the
country. "When I first came here, -
said Mr.. Munson, ''you could get land
for almost a nominal amount, but now
I notice that land of any value what
ever is worth good many times what
it was when first saw this country.
The eastern farmers are selling their
land at 800 and better and buying
Iowa land, and the Iowa farmer is
selling his land at S75 an acre and COM
ing up into Minnesota where he can
get good land for less than one-half
what Iowa farm. land is worth.''

THE FARM INSTITUTE.

State Corps of Instructors Has Been Ap-
pointed and the Winter Meetings Will
Now mmence-PrincetonW viii TRY and
Have a Meeting.
The State Farmers Institute, under
the direction of Prof. O. G. Gregg, of
Lynd, superintendent, and DR.. J. c..
Curryer, of St. Paul, assistant superin-
tendent, is now ready for the winter
campaign.
The Minnesota institute is one of the
most noted in the union, and it's speak
ers are in frequent demand from all
parts of the union. The calls for
meetings in this state are so numerous
that it is impossible to meet all the
demands.
The list of instructors and lecturers
includes some of the most eminent ex-
perts in the country. T. B. Terry, of
Hudson, Ohio, will discuss the care and
cultivation of soil; A. W. Trow, of Glen
vile. Minn., we'll known as the dairy
editor of the Farmer, of St. Paul, will
speak on the cremery, the dairy, the
soil, fodder corn, feeding and calf rails
ing: Henry Van Dresser, Of Cobleskill
N. Y, will talk about the selection of
the dairy COW and poultry; Forest
Henry: of Chatfeld, MIMI, will discuss
corn culture and swine raising: S. J..
Fairfield, the we'll known potato expert,
will discuss the growing and shipping
OF potatoes; A. K. Bush, of Dover,
MIMI, will discuss horticulture and the
farmers garden; DR.. Curryer's subject
will fill in on general questions.
The plan is to hold six meetings in
two days at each place. morning, AFTER
noon and evening. General discussion
is INDUCED in besides the regular ad-
dresses and the question box is an
interesting feature of the meetings.
At the first forenoon meetings copies
of the Institute Manual, a book of $50
pages, are distributed free.
Efforts are being made to have one
OF these interesting meetings held in
Princeton this winter, and it is to be
hoped that date can be secured for a
meeting which will prove so interesting
and instructive to the farmers.

A BIG POTATO TRAIN.
A Train of Fifty Cars of Potatoes
Leaves Princeton for the Markets
of the South.
The Biggest Train of Potatoes That
Ever Left Princeton==A rlarket
Record Breaker.

Last Friday special train of fifty
cars of potatoes left Princeton for
southern points. This was the largest
shipment OF potatoes that ever left
Princeton, and marks new notch in
the growth of the potato market of
this place. Princeton has always been
known as great potato market, but
this year it is breaking all old records
and establishing a new one. The train
as it stood off below the depot was
picture. The train was all made up of
box cars and out of each one was poked
a stove pipe, and as chance would have
it, all on the same side of the train, the
cars much resembling in the distance
emigrant wa CONS on car wheels. Asthe
conductor gave the signal the big mogul
pulled away with it's 10000 bushels of
potatoes for southern markets. Nine
men went with the train to look after
the cars, which were billed to points in
Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas,
Indian Territory and points elsewhere.
One solid train was made up at the
Minnesota Transfer for Kansas City,
from the train that left here. At Zim-
norman three more cars were added
to the train, making tifty-three cars in
all, and it was a great ad. for Prince
ton aud the potato belt.
The train represented as has been
said about $4,000 bushels of potatoes,
which represents about $2l. 900 paid
out on the Princeton market for the
same. They also represent the product
of about ITO acres of land and it re-
quired close around 900 wagon loads to
fill the cars. But while it was big
lot of potatoes still the entire train
only represented the receipts for few
good days on the mark ct, as it only
requires a few days buying here to
make up big train of potatoes.

There was pretty wedding cere-
fnony at the Catholic church on last
Wednesday morning at o'clock, when
Geo. Dupont of Milaca, was united in
marriage to Miss Della Jesmer. daugh-
ter of the late Joseph Jesmer of Green
bush. The ceremony was performed
by Father Levings and was very i'm
pressive. AS the bridal party entered
the church and proceeded slowly up
the aisle the beautiful strains of the
wedding march came forth from the
organ loft, Miss O'Reilly presiding at
the organ.
Miss Laurina Jesmer in Immaculate
white and with flowers accompanied the
bride who wore wedding gown of
white organdie. The groom was &C.
companied by his brother, Jos. Dupont,
and the ceremony was performed in
the presence of large number of
relatives and few intimate friends of
the bride and groom.
Immediately following the marriage
ceremony nuptual mass was said and
the music was rendered by Mrs. J. J.
Skahen and the Misses Lizzie and Susie
Nachbar.
After the ceremony the bridal party
went to the home OF the brides sister,
Mrs. VIM. Kaliher, where a wedding
dinner was served and a reception
given. Mr.. and Mrs. Dupont will COM

WRITTEN FOR BACKBONE:
THOUGHTS FOR THINKERS.

Who is responsible for the exist
ence of the legalized liquor traffic?
The voters of the Democratic and
Republican parties. Many will vince
under this charge, but don't get mad.
Please read the following, and bear
in mind that no mans motive is i'm
pugned. The fact is clearly stated
and proved. The Democratic party is
a liquor-licensing party. Every vote
for that party sustains the liquor
traffic. The Republican party is
hquor-licensing party. Every vote
for that party supports the liquor
traffic.
Suppose that majority of the
voters of this country should vote the
Prohibition ticket. The prohibition
of the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors for beverage purposes
would be the law, and the law would
be executed. Who would be respon-
sible for the destruction of the legal
lied saloon? The voters of the Pro-
hibition party. That's clear. How is
it that the Prohibitionists, in this
case, would be held responsible for
the non-existence of the saloons and
that the voters of the liquor-licensing
parties, as the case now stands, are
not responsible for their existence?
I ask again, who is responsible for
the existence of the legalized liquor
traffic? Let every Christian man an
swer this question honestly in the
light of his obligation to his country,
his church and his God. Let him an
swer it, like a true, brave man at the
ballot-boX. l.. A. CUTLER.
