The LeOnids.


The long.delayed Leonids or Novem-
Der shower of meteors that were
due in great profusion in 1900,
and which did not appear, and which
did not appear last year, are anxiously
awaited this year. They became due
and visible on the 18th of this month,
and the time of their passing is placed
at three days, making it the 18th, 18th
and 18th. They are supposed to be
visible in the east anytime between
midnight and day break. In 1888 and
1866 the showers were very spectac-
ular features in the heavens and
caused many timid ones to shudder
with fear. They are supposed to be
visible every thirty'three years, but
judging from the non-appearance of
the meteors in any great numbers the
last two years, they must have taken
new course, or been consolidated
with some other heavenly .aggrega-
tions. If any readers of the UNION
see the meteors we trust they will
send US in full and complete report.

wild hay is almost as plentiful this
year as in previous years, but condi-
tions have combined to prevent its
reaching the market. Fall rains first
delayed the cutting and more rain
after the cutting caused more delay.
Farmers have been very late in getting
their hay to the small stations to be
shipped and when they have they have
been confronted with still another
difficulty-a shortage in cars. At pres
ent there is nothing to indicate that
the situation will be relieved in the
near future. Hay, to be delivered in
four and five months, is selling for very
little less than present prices. ST.

The latest returns increase the ma

No Delay For Meals.

This Is time saving and labor saw
ing age, and nowhere is this truth so
APPLY illustrated as in the city of Chi
cago. An egg was never fuller of meat
than is the Windy City of time saving
schemes. One of the latest Of these is
to attach dining cars to the cable and
electric trains coming into the city
from the suburbs in the morning, so
that there shall be no pause for cakes,
sausages and coffee at home, these be-
ing furnished on the cable dining cars.
The plan is only tentative, but it's advo-
Gates are enthusiastic.
Some one has also suggested that
there ought to be specially prepared
editions of the morning paper arranged
in column wide sheets which should
unron automatically in front of each
diner as he partakes of his breakfast,
something after the manner in which
stock exchange quotations are present
ed. The rapidity with which the news
unrolls, it is suggested, could be regu-
lated by the pressure Of the foot, as on
a pipe organ. With all activities going
on at once-hands, eyes, feet and jaws
the Chicago man will feel that pre-
cious time is not going to waste '.
In most other communities the street
railway dining car would suggest acute
indigestion and nervous prostration,
but perhaps these are overcome in Chi
cago by the bracing atmosphere Of the
drainage canal and the stockyards.

Princeton Postoffice Report.

In the annual report of the auditor
OF the postodice department for the
fiscal year ending June 30th of the
present year appears a statement of
the earnings of the first, second and
third class Offices in the country
grouped by states. A glance through
Minnesota postoffices of these classes
reveals the fact that the Princeton
Office makes very good showing when
it comes to the per cent of expense to
the gross receipts, and Uncle Sam
ought not to kick on the cost of run
ming the stamp licking foundry at this
place. The gross receipts for the year
we're $5.476.39 while the cost of the
Office in salaries, rent, light, etc.,
amounted during the same time to
81, S74.8O, leaving a net income of
So, 6O1.59. The per cent of expense to
gross receipts at the Princeton office
was "a, and there are just seven other
offices of the third class in the whole
state where the per cent is any lower.
These Offices are Alexandria, where
the per cent was SO, Cloquet, %, Mon
tevideo, 80, Waseca, %, Sleepy Eye,
"A, St. Peter, 80, and Willmar 80.
Wadena and Tracy show the same per
centage OF expense as Princeton. The
salary OF the postmaster at Princeton
is $1,000, with clerk hire $3.50. The
rent, light and fuel for the last fiscal
year amounted to 1920, and there was
$3.50 for incidentals.

STARCH FACTORIES.
Ihey Are Closing Down for the Season
in the Potato Belt.

They Are Closing Down for the Season
in the Potato Belt.
The Grantsburg Journal says: "Both
starch factories in the village ceased
buying and grinding potatoes this
week. The season has not been as
profitable for these institutions as the
amount of capital invested would war;
rant. This was due to the scarcity of
potatoes, the crop of which, in this i'm
mediate locality, was not as large as
was anticipated at the beginning of the
harvesting season. The Farmers
starch factory began buying potatoes
Sept. % and bought the last load Oct.
25. During that time they converted
into starch 1919 bushels of the tubers
for which they have paid at the rate
of Is cents per hundred pounds.
''The Grantsburg starch factory was
open for business five weeks, but dur
ing that entire time it was not operated
to its full capacity for even one day.
During the last week only one grinder
was used.
1.-The total amount of potatoes that
this factory has manufactured into
starch is somewhere near $1,000 BUSH
els for which rs cents per hundred
weight was paid. The company's manu-
facture has this season averaged a trife
more than eight pounds of starch for
one bushel of potatoes. The amount
OF starch contained in potatoes varies
in different seasons, and two years ago
the average was only seven pounds per
bushel."
The starch factory at Isanti has
closed for the season.

IN LOVE WITH HIRED MAN.

Former Isanti County, Minn., Man Loses
His Spouse.
A telegram from Binghamton, N. Y.
last week says: S'Frank Howe, of Isanti
county, Minn., came to this section a
year ago and leased farm at Sidney.
He engaged Don Wear as farm hand.
Wear, who is a young widower, fell in
love with Mrs. Howe, and when Howe
returned from market Friday they had
left with large part of his household
effects. He gave chase, overtaking
them on the highway and covered his
wife with a gun. She pleaded for
mercy and he compelled her to sign an
agreement never to return to, or rec
ognize him. Then he told her to take
the goods and go on. Mrs. Howes
parents are thrifty Isanti county farm

German Press on Shipping Combine,

German Press on Shipping Combine.
The comments Of some of the German
papers on the Anglo-American shipping
combine and the British governments
subsidy to the Cunard steamship line
are interesting and significant The
Berlin Kreuz-Zeitung points out that
Germany is in no financial position to
pursue a policy of rival subsidies, and
adds, eve have more immediate and
more passing obligations than the
maintenance for the north Atlantic of
a standard of freights which secures
for shareholders a dividend Of from 6
to 8 per cent?
The Kolnische Volkszeitung also dis
cusses the difficulties of the situation.
1t maintains, indeed, that the subven-
tons which the Hamburg American
line receives are not for the north At
lantic traffic, but for carrying the Ger
man mails and for the support of it's
steamship services to South Africa and
east Asia, which do not pay. Never
theless, it remarks, the German Allan
tic company would gladly accept gov
eminent subsidies if it could get them.
But generous policy of subsidies is
quite out of the question.
The Kolnische Volkszeitung then
proceeds to say: 'The question arises
whether we have not too loudly and
too pompously proclaimed the objects
Of our ambition. Many publications of
the German Navy league and of the
pan-Germans, and, in fact, declarations
which have been made in authoritative
quarters, have led the English and the
Americans to believe, or have, at least,
given them occasion to assert. that it
is our ambition to achieve naval su-
premacy on the Atlantic ocean. In our
opinion it would be very desirable that
we should act prudently when we have
to do with such rich rivals as John
Bull and Uncle Sam,'

The experience with wireless teleg-
raphy in the recent naval maneuvers
of the British Mediterranean and chan
mel squadrons seems to have shown
the uselessness of the system for war
purposes in it's present stage. The en-
envy continuously sent confusing mes
sages. If there was any known way to
shut out strange messages, it is to be
inferred that the British naval officers
would have practiced it. It is believed,
however, that further experiments will
ultimately overcome this obstacle.

Hay Is High.

Hay is high. Feed of all kinds is up.

This means $500 to the consumer who

has prevailed for several years and SO
to $4<a ton more than at this time last

These Cost OF Deforestation

@ There @is more than local interest in
the report Of Henry Cannot, made pub
lie through the United States geological
survey, upon the deforestation of the
state of Washington. The report shows
that in nineteen counties Of the state
west Of the cascade range 1884
square miles were formerly covered
with merchantab1e timber, Of which IL
per cent has been cut, II per cent has
been destroyed by fire and the remain
der is still covered with standing tim
Der. In Mr.. Gannet's own words. "In
less than generation nearly one-third
OF the timber in one of the richest tim
Der regions of this continent has been
destroyed, and of that destruction
much more than half has been caused
by fire." In other words, nearly two
years supply of timber, worth in money
about $43,O0O,OOO, has been destroyed
by fire. /
This report was made before the re-
cent terribly destructive forest fires in
Washington, Oregon, Wyoming and
Colorado, which have added material
~ to the average destruction every
year. The department of agriculture
estimates that every year at least
$25,OOO,000 worth of real property is
destroyed, fully 100000 acres burned
over and $75,000,OoO worth of young
forest growths destroyed.
Such figures as these ought to make
deep impression upon the public
mind and awaken a keener public SEN
timent in favor Of forest preservation.
The property value destroyed is, how
ever, not the only item in the annual
cost of deforestation. There must be
taken into account the deterioration of
the soil, the drying up of streams and
water courses, the increased exposure
Of farming regions to drought, burning
winds and cyclones and the menace to
public health. Possibly the good citi-
zen Of New York or Ohio will be moth
ing out Of pocket by the destruction
Of the forests of Washington or Ore
gon, but if he has due appreciation Of
the richness and greatness of his coun-
try he ought not to view with indif-
ference the devastation Of any part
Of it.

1t is announced that no member of
the Anglo-American club Of London is
permitted to lose more than $4,000
week at cards. This is true hospitality
and will no doubt strengthen the cite
that binds the two great English
speaking nations. If, however, the
winnings are restricted to $4,000 a
week, the club will have little attrac-
ton for certain eminent Americans
who sometimes visit the British metrop-
oils.

"Gum Shoe" Deal In Isanti County.
A lively fight at the eleventh hour


A lively fight at the eleventh hour
developed in Isanti county over county
superintendent of schools. The Isanti
News tells the story as follows:
The contest was one of the most
vigorous ever conducted in the county.
At the recent primary election Charles
r. Lundberg and John W. Glover were
candidates for the Republican nominal
tion for superindent of schools. After
thorough canvass of the county Mr..
Clover was nominated by majority of
26. Mr.. Lundberg was not satisfied
with the result, and a petition was
filed with the county auditor to have
Mr.. Lundberg's name placed on the
election ballot as an independent can
didate for superintendent. The State
supreme court decided that defeated
candid ates could not get on the ballot
in this manner, and it was supposed
the controversy was settled. Mr..
Clover's friends supposed he would be
elected without opposition and ceased
working in his interests. On Nov. LIST
it became known that Mr.. Lundberg's
friends would attempt to elect him by
placing stickers on their ballots. Clo-
ver's friends were notified as quickly
as possible and the greatest contest of
the election was fought over this Office,
resulting in the election of Mr.. Clover
by II votes. Mr.. Lundberg made a
surprisingly strong run considering
the conditions under which his vote
was cast. Spencer Brook, however,
gave him only 4 votes and 101 for
