THE VILLAGE SOLONS.
Take Action Upon Important Recon-
mendations for Improvement
of Princeton's Streets.
Regulation of Sidewalks and Boule.
wards, Surfacing of Roads and
Betterment Of Drainage.

Matters OF interest to property own
ers who take pride in improving the
appearance of the village came up be-
fore the council for consideration at
it's regular meeting on Monday night.
The first was recommendation by
r. G. Dunn that an ordinance be
drafted for regulating the width of
sidewalks and boulevards, so that all
curbing. be ineally uniform, that a
distance of sixteen feet be maintained
between the inside of walk and out
side of boulevard, that the sidewalk
proper be not less than six feet in
width, and that all telephone poles be
removed to positions outside of the
sixteen-feet limit, The recommends
ton left it optional with property
owners whether the sidewalk be six,
eight or ten feet in width and also OPP
tional whether they maintained a
boulevard; but, should the latter be
laid out, the regulation as to width
must be complied with. After some
discussion the recommendation was
adopted and the village attorney and
recorder instructed to draft an ordi-
nance covering the points suggested
and present same to the council at its
next session.
A measure was introduced and
adopted that all sidewalks laid in flu
ture on Eastern avenue-Main street
the village power house and
the Patterson corner be not less than
twelve feet wide. The measure is not
intended to compel those who have
narrower sidewalks in good condition
to replace the same with a twelve-feet
width, but to apply to those which
shall be hereafter put down.
AS an experiment it was decided
to introduce catch basins at the
Cooney block and Security bank cor
ners to carry off the surplus water
from, the street, and, should they
prove. satisfactory, ). to distribute more
where deemed necessary &. - !,
On behalf of himself and the owners
of other abutting property on First
street Mr.. Dunn offered. provided the.
council graded such street between
the Security bank and the Congrega-
tional church, to furnish sufficient
gravel or crushed rock to surface such
distance to depth deemed necessary.
The. proposition was accepted and the
street commissioner instructed to pro-
coed with the grading as soon as the
condition of the street permitted
thereof. 49, "
A permanent committee was ap-
pointed by the president to investi-
gate the condition of sidewalks, cross
walks and the East Branch bridge
and to order all necessary repairs
and replanking. .'@l
The work on the West Branch
bridge-was reported to be satisfactory.
The council decided to hereafter
shut off the electric light at 11:30 in
stead of 1920 p. m.
A number of bills were acted upon
and the council adjourned.

are on foot for the
manufacture of fax fiber binder Irvine
for the coming season by the Interna-
tlonal Harvester company, says the
Commercial West. Articles of incor-
.poration have been filed by the Inter-
national Flax. azith.a
capital stock of quarter OLA million
dollars and directorate made up of
the leading men in the international
Harvester company. The principal
Office of this company will be in St..
Paul, and the presumption is that the
great harvester plant erected by the
Walter A. Woods Harvester company
and later acquired by the Interna-
tlonal Harvester company will be
converted into a fax Irvine factory.
This move is a very important one
for the northwest. The making of
fax fiber Irvine has been made a dem
onstrated success by this harvester
company. The next necessary step is
to get farmers of the northwest to
produce clean flax straw for this
Irvine. There is no reason why the
entire northwest cannot in time be
supplied with Irvine from northwest
fiber made into Irvine in the northwest.
The three spring wheat states will
consume about 40,0OO,OOo pounds of
twine annually. The Minnesota State
prison Irvine plant produced this year
100000 pounds of Irvine. If this
fax Irvine proves as cheap and salts
factory as it now promises the State
prison will have to make a shift to
the same Irvine material or 60 out of
business.

King Tells How To Do 1t.

King Tells How To Do 1t.
How to solve the good roads prob
lem on country and suburban high
ways practically without cost was ex-
planned before members of the Com
mercial club, st. Paul, by D. Ward
King of Maitland, Mo. Mr.. King de-
scribed his little Missouri split log
drag" the surprising success of
which within the last nine years in
duced the Chicago Great Western road
to bring him to speak upon the sub
ject in st. Paul. A farmer himself,
Mr.. King has no interest to serve save
those of the farmers and the general
community. He has not patented his
continuance; he has, no machinery to
sell.
After President Hoffman of the club
had mentioned that the loss from bad
roads annually in this country was
supposed to be not less than Sl,OOO,-
100000. President A. B. Stickney of
the Great Western road, introducing
Mr.. King, said that most speakers on
good roads are accustomed to suggest
that farmers should spend many thou
sands of dollars in macadamizing
prairie roads. One road "expert''
had proposed that Minnesota farmers
transport trap rock 500 or 600 miles
for road material. But the plan ad-
vocated by Mr.. King involved no such
absurd demand upon the pockets of
the taxpayer.
Speaking informally, Mr.. King es-
timated that, in rainy weather at least,
one-half of all the roads in states as
advanced as Ohio, Pennsylvania. New
York and perhaps Massachusetts,
were nothing but mud roads. The
improvement of mud roads, that is,
of the so-called "dirt'' roads, was
manifestly of much Importance. He
did not pretend to show they could be
made into perfect roads; he did not
say they could be made equal to ma
cadamized roads. But the macada-
MIXING of country roads would remain
Tor many years process too expen-
sive for all but a few of the main
highways. His method would cost
almost nothing and it would quickly
transform any country road, any dirt
road, into good road if not per-
feet road.
Mr.. King showed small wooden
model of his drag. It resembled a
short, heavy ladder with three rounds.
How he came to devise it he didn't
exactly recall. But in the spring Of
1896 he had made such a drag from a
split log. With a team of horses he
had drawn the drag obliquely across
a road near his own farm and he had
kept that road in splendid condition
ever since. By dragging the road not
oftener than once a month he had
made race track of it. Whatever
the weather he could always trot a
horse along the road or draw an or
binary load with an ordinary team.
The use of the drag had gradually
extended until it's value had been rec
ognized in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska,
Illinois and other states. At Des
Moines it had been making roads
which, the public declared, were equal
to the asphalt streets. :
The drag accomplished three
things: It made the road highest in
the middle and thus maintained good
drainage; it prevented the formation
of ruts by distributing the traffic; it
hardened the earth until it became
shovel-proof and almost pick-proof.

About The Dairy.

IN the test at the worlds fair last
year the Jersey herd produced a
profit of $3.50 per COW for 12O days.
The average of the Holstein herd was
S29 per COW.
A Wisconsin man fed one of his
COWS $50 worth of feed last year and
her pasture, feeding, milking and
stabling cost Sl1.50 more, making her
total cost S71.50: but she produced $50
worth of butter, S17.7O worth of
manure; 81 worth of skim milk, and
a cali, worth IS, making her total in
EtUmide 8 assszss
Sailing COWS regularly has much to
do with the ease or difficulty with
which butter will come. Let them
have access to salt at all times.
Do not make the mistake of cutting
grass too late. Better cut it a little
early. You lose more in quality in
late cutting than you gain in quantity.
Never buy nice, fat looking COW
for a good mixer. First learn what
a good dairy type of COW is, or get
some one who does know, to buy your
COW for you
A lump of copperas as big as a
pea will destroy all the green scum
in a water tank that holds $50 gallons.
In running a separator evenness of
speed is very important. The speed
should be frequently tested by watch
as guess work will not do. s.. =
Foamy and bitter milk is produced
by certain forms of baccilli. When
they gain access to milk or milk YES
sells they are hard to eradicate. Wash
the udder of the COW in luke warm
water containing a disinfectant.
Where a separator cannot be af-
forded earthen crooks are better than
tin vessels as they do not rust when
set in water and keep the milk cool
much longer.
Do not buy cans or pals that have
seams untitled with solder. If you
have any on hand have your tinsmith
fl all holes and cracks.

WOUNDED IN BATTLE AND ELSE
wHERE.-A much-scarred veteran oc-

site to him sat a benevolent looking
old gentleman who gazed with seeming
interest on the rugged face, and at
length said:
II think, my friend, you are the pos

'T should just think so, sir" replied
the warrior. This cash across my

this cloven chin each cost more than
