School Closed in District 2.

Chas. Slater was in from Greenbush
last Saturday and he looked as though
his soul was undisturbed. He said that
matters in his section had reached a
climax by the school board having
closed the school in district No. 2
where vaccination had created so much
disturbance. The board shut down
the learning factory without any warn
ing and the ''young idea'' in that por-
tion of Greenbush is not shooting at
books at the present time, but is out
shouting instead Of shooting. Miss
Sellhorn, the teacher nearly had her

allowed plaintiff 500 and costs. The
case will be appealed to the district
court by the railroad company. Mr..

Hale and Hearty at Eighty-Five.

Samuel Euran, an old gentleman IS
years of age, who lives in Glendorado,
was in town on Monday and called at
the UNION Office. Mr.. Euran appears
as hale and hearty as most mon at SO.
He was an old Vermonter and his
antecedents were French and he comes
of a long-lived family, his mother liv-
ing to be SO years of age. Mr.. Euran
moved across into New York state
when eleven years of age and when 81
he went to Illinois from which place
he moved to Glendorado. He is a
most interesting talker and has fund
of "reminiscences. He was seven years
of age when John Quincy Adams was
elected president. Of all the presi-
dents he has great admiration for An
drew Jackson, though Mr.. Euran is a
strong Republican and referred to
Populism of the present day in terms of
disgust. II bet hat with fellow here
in Princeton at the last presidential
election that Bryan would not be
elected, and I have been looking for
that hat ever since," said the old gen.
tleman. ''People live so differently
now than they did when I was a boy.
In the early days back in New Eng
land we lived on rye Indian bread
which was made of one-third rye flour
and two-thirds corn meal, and it had
great staying qualities. In those days
the girls used to work at the spinning
wheels and make garments both for
summer and winter wear for the whole
family. Both the men and women
worked harder than they do now and
lived such different life they we're
much healthier" Mr.. Euran started
to school when he was three years of
age but went with some of his older
brothers and sisters. II attended
school in the winter time only and pot
my education the best 1 could.
remember very we'll of hearing my
grandfather tell of the Revolutionary
war and battles he fought in. The old
Green Mountain boys as they used to
call them were great fighters and the
British feared to face them in battle.
Mr.. Euran's memory is very clear on
many matters of history, much more
so than that of many of the children of
the present generation. His hair is
as white as the driven snow, but his
head is covered with a good growth,
and white beard covers the lower
portion of his chin and face. He al.
ways shaves himself and is perfectly
able to look after himself in his old
age. While in town Mr.. Euran went
over to see his old neighbor, Phil
Holland.

0 o o WITH FARMERS

II have been informed that we are
to have farmers institute in Prince
ton next month"; remarked a farmer
the other day, ''and I am glad to hear
it, for it has been my experience that
these Institutes are worth big lot of
money to farmers who do not think
they know it all and are willing to
learn. I>have attended the institutes
several times and have put much of
what I have learned at them into
practice. It is no use trying to think
that we farmers can stumble onto
profitable things in the way of farm
ing. We may have luck, and I guess
with most of US this is what we might
term it, for there are few farmers who
farm from scientific standpoint. We
can't and are not supposed to for we
have not been educated to do so, but
we can learn what the other fellow is
doing who may know a little more
than we do. This is what a farmers
institute amounts to, and ] think the
farmers tributary to Princeton will
turn out in good shape at the institute
to be held next month.

G. W. Miller of Vinelaud, was in
Princeton on Tuesday enroute home
from Illinois where he has been for
some time as his mother was not ex-
pected to live. Mr.. Miller has resided
in Vineland for the past three years
and has 100 acres which he home
steaded and an 80 that he purchased.
His land is located in section 9, 1922.
''Up our way we are not farming much
as yet, and there is quite bit of lum-
boring, but in another season the lum-
Der business will be about finished, and
the country will begin to look more
like an agricultural section in short
time. There is considerable stock up
our way and the country is we'll
adapted to stock raising: I have a
herd of seventeen head and intend to
breed more into the Polled Angus class
of cattle as I think they are easy
keepers and good mixers. The coun-
try is we'll adapted to successful fruit
culture, the location being fine in this
respect. Mr.. Miller left for the lake
Tuesday night.

Last Thursday car loaded with po-
tatoes and belonging to Best & Co.
caught fire just as the freight was pull
ing out and. there was lively time to
save the car and the potatoes. The
train was backed up and the car was
stopped at the water tank. A few holes
were broken in the roof of the car and
the water was turned on which soon
extinguished the fire. No particular
damage was done to the car and not
many of the potatoes were damaged.
Many of the sacks were burned off the
potatoes which had to be transferred
to another car. It was a fortunate
thing that the fire was discovered be-
fore the train got away from the STA
ton as it probably would have burned
up had the fire broke out when the
train got under good Roadway. On
Saturday morning Sante Fee refrig-
orator car loaded with potatoes caught
fire from the stove between four and
five o'clock. A negro lad was sleeping
in the car at the time and when he
was awakened by the fire he crawled
out and started up town for lantern,
giving no alarm of any kind. A boarder
at the Princeton hotel happened to see
the car was afre and raised the alarm.
Several parties went over and put the
fire out, but not before a hole was
burned through the car floor. A few
potatoes were spoiled, 49,

breath taken away by the hasty order
Of the board. Mr.. Henry, who lived
near the school house, and who was
taken sick with the smallpox, is now
out and about like most of the cases in
that township. Mr.. Slater went down
to ST. Paul to see DR.. Bracken. secre-
tary of the State board of health, and
the town clerk says Bracken at the
mere suggestion of smallpox remarked
that if he had his way he would take
every case of smallpox to the grave
yard and be rid of the whole mess.
Mr.. Slater said that the secretary was
in such state of mind that it seemed
to be case where s'silence is golden"
and he left the office. It looks to man
up tree out in Greenbush like case
OF freeze out and there is no telling
how long the school will be closed.
If the board waits for smallpox to be
wiped out there will be no school the
remainder of the winter and spring
for out in Greenbush they seem to look
upon smallpox as "a good thing, push
it along" -
The case of smallpox at Sorge's is
near to the school and the school board
is using this as pretext for closing
the school. A party driving along the
roadway near the school saw boy out
playing and asked him why the school
was closed, to which the lad replied
that they had smallpox in the country
and had ordered all the children vac
cinated and he guessed there was 60
ing to be law suit and the school was
closed up.

Socialist Platform.

1. Labor produces all wealth.
2. Under the present economic
and political conditions labor's share
in the wealth it creates is merely a
mean and uncertain subsistence.
3. So long as the present organiza-
ton of industry remains the capital
ist class will monopolize the ma
chimes of production and will appro-
pirate through the wage system the
wealth created by the working class.
4. As necessary consequence OF
this exploitation of the laborers by
the capitalists-this exploitation of
all the property out of the hands OF
the toilers into the private ownership
of the holders of capital, there is an
inevitable economic struggle between
the interests of the working class OF
one hand and the interests of the
capitalist class on the other.
