The Editor and the Preacher.

A preacher came at newspaper man
in this way: "You editors do not tell
the truth. If you did you could not
live; your newspaper would be fail
ure.' The editor replied: "You are
right, and the minister who will at all
times and under all circumstances tell
the truth about his members, alive or
dead, will not occupy his pulpit more
than one Sunday, and then he will find
it necessary to leave town in hurry.
The press and the pulpit go hand in
hand. with whitewash brushes and
pleasant words magnifying little vir-
tues into big ones. The pulpit, the pen
and the gravestone are the great saint
making triumvirate." And the great
minister went away looking very
thoughtful, while the editor turned to
his work and told of the surprising
beauty of the bride, while in fact she
was as homely as mud fence.-Yellow

An Electrical Kitchen.

Of all the cool and convenient kitch-
ems that housekeepers ever dreamed,
the electric kitchen is the coolest and
most convenient. No stove or even gas
range: just marble shelf in the pan
try with two or three little discs side
by side. A griddlecake baker or toas-
ter can be used for any cooking that re-
quires fiat surface. Then there is an
oven and a cooker for meats and vege-
tables Any degree heat can be Sc
cured by simple turn of the switch.
With this kitchen and golden grain
belt beer the work of the housewife
would be ideal. The beer is delicious
for the table and contains the most
nourishment in the best form. Better
get case for your home. Order from
your nearest dealer or be supplied by
Henry Veidt, Princeton.

The Colt and Its Rider.

Once upon time 4 man tried to ride
on the back of a young colt, which OBJ
jected very much to his doing so, and
there was quite struggle between the
two, with plunging by the colt and
clinging by the man.
Finally the colt threw the man over
his head, depositing him on the ground
without injury. But the man, deter
mined not to be defeated; pursued the
colt and, capturing him, proceeded to
again mount, with some difficulty.
There was another struggle, which
ended as before-with the man pros
trate on the ground-but this time he
received severe injuries.

The Devouring Chinch Bugs.

Chinch bugs are damaging the wheat
crop in Benton and Stearns counties
and in many places the farmers are
cutting the grain green to save what
they can for feed, as the bugs are MAX
ing quick work of the grain. 1t is said
that Benton county wheat will not
average over twelve to fifteen bushels
per acre.
Here in our own vicinity the field
pests are said to be doing lot of DAM
age to wheat, especially north and
west of town in sections where the
chinch bugs never did any damage be-
fore. The wheat crop and small grain
of all kinds is anything but promising
in this section, and Jos. Craig of the
Princeton roller mill says he does not
think the wheat crop will average over
fifty per cent of a crop.

A HOme-Talent Circus.

Princeton is pretty apt to produce
some Forepaughs and P. T. Barnums

RAILROAD MEMS WATCHES,
They Must Be Good Ones and Regu-
larly Compared and Inspected.


A man with smoke ground into his
hands and face walked into one of the
downtown jewelry stores and handed
over big gold watch and a card. The
repair man looked at the watch, made
some queer marks on the card and
handed both back. And the man
walked out of the store
''Didn't know you sell on the INSTALL
ment plan," suggested the inquisitive
loafer.
Don't" was the laconic response,
and then the jeweler explained. ''The
man is a locomotive fireman, and his
watch was being compared. You see,
it is absolutely necessary that railroad
watches keep good time, and the mat
ter of making them keep good time has
been systematized.
1.-The fremen, engineers, conductors,
rear brakemen and train masters on all
of the roads in this country have or
ders to have their watches compared
twice a month and Inspected every six
months. On some roads nearly all Of
the employees are supposed to go
through this same routine.
when watch is bought by any of
these men, it must be passed upon by
the jeweler who has been appointed in
spector for the road that the purchaser
serves. 1t must be a good watch, cost
ing about $50 for the wor,- me, for
the rattle and jolt of train would Sc
riously affect a cheap watch, but j
may be of any make, provided it comes
up to the standard. Stop watches,
watches that tell the day Of the week
and such complicated novelties are
barred. A key winder is not accepta-
BILE, nor is a watch that has been
changed from a hunting case to an
open face. An open faced watch is
preferred, though good hunting case
watch is not turned down on the ma
jority of roads.
'After the inspector has passed ia
vorably upon the watch he makes out
a slip to that effect and returns the
watch to the railroader, along with the
indorsing slip and a small card. On
this card are number of ruled spaces.

his watch and card to the inspector,
who notes on the card whether the
watch was fast or slow and how much,
whether it has stopped or run down
and whether or not he regulated it. In
this manner the inspector can tell just
what the watch is doing and what it
needs.
AT the end of each six months the
watch and the card are taken to the
inspector, who makes a more careful
examination Of the watch, issues new
card to the railroader and sends in the
old card to the headquarters of the road
for which the man works. A duplicate
of these cards is kept in book by the
inspector.

closely watched by the inspectors are

What Became Of ParkerH

The farce-comedy. "What Became Of
Parker?" will be presented by local
talent at the opera house tomorrow
night, under the direction of Willis
Dunlap and for the benefit of the
Princeton band. Mr.. Dunlap has been
in Princeton for the last week organ
izing the local troup and getting the
cast in shape for the play. Mr.. Dun
lap was for Il long time associated with
Sanford Dodge, who is such a favorite
with the Princeton people. The cast
of characters for the play is as follows:
Fred Parker. a merchant. -. Earl kaliher
VIM. Terrence. his partner. Adon Whitney
Jeremiah Grower. What his name indi-
James ones, of Joplin Mo-. Fremont Woodc ,
Mr.. Harrison. retired millionaire, Earl Hatch
Otto, German waiter. ........ Serenus Skahen

VIVIAN, Parker.s wife .......Ida Root ordon
Hebe, niece of GrOwler.. ..... Blanche Byers
Mildred Green. Elvians maiden aunt.

The play is real funny throughout
and is not coarse or vulgar. There is
every reason to think that it will be a
great improvement over the former
play given by the band.
Ida Root Gordon and Mr. Dunlap
have important parts and will assist
very materially in presenting the play
''What Became of Parker'' is to be
presented by the company under the
direction Of Mr.. Dunlap at the Anoka
opera house on August 10th.

AUGUST WEATHER.
Hicks Predictions for the Coming Month

An Average August.
Hicks, the weather prophet, has his
forecast for August. He predicts sum-
mer heat the first, second and third,
which we failed to get in this imme-
diate vicinity. Local rains and buster
ing storms were put down for the first
few days. Hicks says about the sixth
and seventh there will be an increase
of warmth, falling barometer and
stormy conditions.
These disturbances will eliminate
on and touching the Sth, some central
to northern parts Of the country being
visited by severe summer squalls.
Change to rising barometer westerly
winds and cooler will press in from the
west and NORTH as low barometer and
storms move eastwardly out of the way
bringing partial respite from summer
heat for two or three days.
One of the cheated terms" of the
month will appear from about the 18th
to the 18th. At the beginning OF this
period the warm wave will start in
western sections, attended by low and
falling barometer: easterly to southerly
winds will increase the heat over all
sections east of the actual storm CEN
tiers. AS the low barometer moves
eastward, threatening clouds, with
severe local storms will visit many Sec
lions, with favorable conditions for
some generous midsummer rains.
While the heat, wave and storms are
still passing central and eastern parts
of the country, a change to cooler will
be advancing from the west and north,
so that by the 18th and 18th most parts
of the country will have felt the
change to cooler weather. There will
be perceptible reaction to rising tenn
perature, falling barometer and return
to cloudiness and storms on and touch
ing the 18th and 18th, followed by
another return to cooler, more pleasant
weather about the 10Th to 2lst.
General storm conditions will develop
over the country, and inland storms of
more or less intensity may reasonably
be expected about the 24th to 9th. If
equatorial storms appear in the south
at this time, reaching regions as far
north as our extreme southern States
phenomenally cool weather will fol-
low the storms over all central to
northwestern states. Such results need
not be a surprise to our readers.
The 10Th and 3Oth will bring re-
action to storm conditions, and more or
less storminess and rain will result in
many localities. Rising barometer and
change to cooler weather generally
will mark the closing hours of the
month.
