WORTHY SOCIETY

The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children at its last meeting
decided to make an effort TO interest
more parents in It's work. II should
not be a difficult matter; its work is Of
such a nature that it must appeal to the
humanitarian instincts of all Unlike
many reforms, which have as their OBJ
ject the redemption of The world in
short order, and soon go to pieces, this
organization continues from day 10 day,
from year to year. doing its work faith
fully and with no blare OF trumpets. In
the complex affairs which engage the
minds Of men they often forget these in
stitutions which are most benencent
and which are doing their work under
our very eyes. This is true in a mea-
sure Of this society (Which is unfortu-
nate only in having a name too long tc
write often).
Its object is TO protect children from
sl cruelty, but here the word cruelty il
used in a very broad sense. Grea
p poverty, contact with crime, conditions
i leading to the propagation of disease
r. constitute cruelty TO children. Unde
z themost degrading circumstances man

l. Of habit. 1t is to take away the poss
/ bility of such results, to protect u
children for their own sake as well 1

The prevalence Of typhoid fever
throughout the city, with no signs of its
cbatement, certainly should receive Of
fetal attention. When these cases are
so numerous we can only attribute the
condition to impure water. Whether
our system OF filtration is defective we
do not know. but the cause should be
ascertained, and, if possible, remedied.
Filtration purifes the water so that it
is perfectly clear. and yet dangerous
disease germs may lurk in it. The bost

veyed by Mary F. PARROT to defendant
in 1892, the consideration being $4,000,
and the plaintiff in complaint alleged
default in payment. The land it is said
was originally secured by Geo. H. War
rem from Mile Laos county on a tax
certificate issued in 1889 and Mr.. War
rem and his wife quit claimed the prop
erty to Solomon PARROT, and it was
claimed by Locke's attorneys that Mrs.
PARROT had no valid title to the land
because it was alleged that the tax title
was invalid, and that one Martin w.
Hanks began an action against the
Warrens for possession of the property.

looking over the site of the proposed
new bridge across the Rum river where
the same is crossed by the east and
west center lines of sections nine and
ten in Princeton TOWNSHIP and for
which an appropriation was made by
the last legislature. He says that the
site may be changed as it is not Just
satisfactory, and the matter will be
taken up by the county commissioners
and the town board at the July meeting.
Mr.. Hewitt says that he finds crops in
this section looking very we'll as COM
pared with those in southern Minnesota.
He was down in Martin county a few
days ago and he said that the corn
there did not look as we'll as it does
around Princeton.

NJ. G. Austin of Park Rapids. who is

he says that there is no reason why the

raise potatoes and just as good potatoes
as are raised around Princeton. Mr..
Austin last year raised ZOO bushels on
four and half acres of land near Park
Rapids and this year he has thirteen
acres planted, ten to Carman No. 2 and
three to Burbanks. He says much of
the soil near Park Rapids is very
similar to the best potato soil around
Princeton and all that the northern
country wants is a market. An effort
will be made this year to put in
warehouse.

A Board of Health Tonic.

Considerable complaint is being made
because of the manure that is being
dumped in the river near the Sadley
mill, and some of the people who cross
the bridge and. live close to the same
say that they don't see why the author
tiles allow such a lot OF manure to be
dumped in the river at that point. 1t
is bad practice to dump manure in the
river at any point. The garbage, car
casses, and filth and corruption that has
been dumped on the sides of the en-
bankment of the road running east from
the mill is also a nuisance and disease
breeder. The local board of health
ought to put a stop to such practices.

THE FOURTH OF JULY
The Business lien of Princeton Will
Take the Celebration One of
Best Ever Held Here. <
Grand List of Attractions and Sports
and Amusements of all Kinds
"A Day of Pleasure. r.

The committees who have in charge
the arrangements for the celebration
OF the Fourth at Princeton are getting
along in good shape. At the meeting
last Monday night very favorable re-
ports were made. Tom Scheen, who
went to the twin cities to secure some
good attractions reported that he had
secured some attractions that are pro-
nounced first-class. He has secured
the famous Imperial trio of acrobats,
which will give some very clever per-
formances, among them the famous
''three-brother act" He also secured
Prof. Fox, the celebrated hand equil-
ibrist, with Irish jigs and reels and
Prof. La Dare, the balancing trapeze
performer. In addition to these he
also secured the famous North Star
colored quartette, one of the best
colored quartettes in the twin cities,
which will sing about town all day and
evening.
The committee on sports and amuse-
ments reported a good program for the
day, including such catchy features as
the creased pole and creased pig, foot
races, wheelbarrow races, fat mans
race. game of basket ball, prizes for
the best floats and makeups for the
parade, etc. The lists of sports and
prizes will be found in the advertise
ment elsewhere in this issue.
| The finance committee reported sub
scriptions amounting to nearly $3.50,
and the total amount of subscriptions
will foot up to at least $500 for the cele-
bration. The sum of 1925 will be spent
for the outside attractions, which are
pronounced good and ought to draw a
big crowd. It has been found i1npossi-
Die to secure q good outside speaker
for an address and the committee has
decided to dispense with this part OF
the program and has invited c.. A.
Dickey to make an address of welcome
and a few brief remarks. There will
be good program rendered without
the speaker.
1t was decided to invest the sum Of
Sl0 in fireworks and n. E. Jesmer was
appointed a committee to look afte1
this feature of the celebration.
It has been decided to erect a. LARGE
platform at the Citizens bank corner
that will be large enough to accommo.
date all the features aud attractions OF
the day. Here will occur the program,
OF exercises. such as singing. speaking,
etc.. and in the afternoon the acrobats,
trapeze performer. equilibrist, etc.,
will show at this point. The streets
will be fenced off so that no vehicles
can get on them and they will be put in
shape for the crowd which can be
easily accommodated at this place.
The day will be ushered in with the
ringing of bells and the booming of an

stamp mills:
The crushing capacity of the
stamps varies with the character Of
the ore from two to eight tons
per day to each stamp. With the
free-milling ore at Thunder
Mountain tn work on the maximum
number of eight tons per day, a ten
stamp mill will crush about eighty
tons of ore in every twenty -four
hours, which is miners day.
But something more goes to the
saving of gold than the mere crush
ing Of the ore by the stamps. The
fact that quicksilver attracts and
separates the PARTICLES of gold from
the waste matter plays an important
part In the process of milling. Armed
