ENTERTAINMENT COURSE.

The Committee That Guaranteed the En-
tertainments Has a Small Deficit.
The entertainment at the opera house
last Friday night under the auspices
OF the Princeton Entertainment club
concluded the series for the season.
Ellsworth Plumstead was the attraction
and he amused his audience with a
medley OF character sketches, recita-
tions, representations, etc., in a way
that proved him very successful en-
tertainer.
There were five entertainments given
in the course and after paying for all
expenses the club which guaranteed the
cost of the entertainments has deficit
of S44. 50. It is expected that rebate
on the oxygen lecture will be allowed
by the lyceum bureau owing to the
change of date, and this will cut down
the deficit some. The box receipts
for the first entertainment amounted to
only Sl1.45 as it was stormy night.
The oxygen lecture which cost S65,
had credit of but 1925 in box re-
ceipts. The ''coons" proved the best
attraction and Plumstead was second.
the box receipts for the last entertain
ment amounting to S26SO. The aver
age box receipts for the course were
$1,000. It is very seldom that these
entertainments ever pay expenses.
They are not given as monney-making
propositions but to furnish the com
munities a series of interesting attrac-
tions for the winter months. All
things considered the Princeton Enter
tainment club came out in reasonably
good shape. There were about twenty
five members who signed the guaran-
tee paper and the assessment will
probably not be much over a dollar
apiece. In many towns in the State
local committees have had to face a
larger deficit than this. In the town
Of Wadena there were eighteen mem
tiers who were public spirited enough
to secure the course and they went in
the hole $3.50, or $40 apiece. One OF
the members of that committee in a
communication to the home paper
says:
''The high motive of our highly re-
spected Mayor Mr.. Wilson cannot be
doubted. He was the leading spirit in
starting this movement. It is no dis
grace to loose $40 in an effort to do
good. I count it an honor to be with
him and others who did their best to
serve this town with entertainments
more lofty than the common show.n

enough. And there were plots and
counter plots, and little deals were
fixed up in advance to win the fight.

When the hour arrived for the cleo

president, could see through the haze
OF the schoolroom the outlines OF
several "sooners" all crying for rec
ignition. The president is Junior
and he had good Junior eyes, but the
fates were against him, and in the first
battle it was a Senior who landed.
But it didn't make any difference, for
there were two regular nominees, Miss
Grace Morehouse, Senior, and Miss
Mary Patterson, Junior. Voting
was by ballot, and Miss Morehouse
won by one vote.
In the election of a vice president

In the town of Princeton there was a
little friendly rivalry over the election
of a supervisor for three years and
assessor. G. W. Harter, Jacob Ellen

trio of candidates for supervisors and
Harter had an easy victory. Charles
Berry defeated Kuhfeld for assessor,
by Just a dozen votes. Mr.. Kuhfeld
made an excellent run for a compare

candidates was as follows:

ing 'sletters from the people" let me
have = word. In recent letters each
writer seems to have his hammer out
for some one. Now II we are going to
knock let US knock on something that
is being done or is about to be done SO
that our hammer may. accomplish
something. The capitol. commission
has been authorized and chosen but
they have not yet misappropriated the
public funds. Let us not lose sight
of the fact that we may be able to
prevent such transportation if We
work together to that end, and am
not diverted by too many dead issues.
We have the prohibition law, we
should retain it, and are not likely to
lose it. And by the way, If am not
misinformed, our senator voted
against re-submission when it came
up, because his constituents desired
him to do so. His district did not
ask him to alter his personal opinion
to conform to those of its majority.
We have gang in control of the re-
publican party, who represent the
railroad interests and not those of
our people. That gang is likely to
continue in control If we who are out
side, take up the gangs arguments
and find fault with the ''new reform
wing'' because this individual or that
who is taking prominent part in
urging the reform holds different
opinions than we, in matters which in
no way effect the points in issue.
The only argument the gang are US
ing or can use are filings at individual
members of the ''new reform wing. ("
They say this one is disguised
politician who opposes the gang be-
cause the gang defeated him when
up for office, that one held such and
such office, what good did he do for
the good of the people etc? These
are the same old arguments always
used by the fellow who is in the
wrong.
If we expect to accomplish any
thing with our hammers we must
keep working on the obstruction
ahead of us and not let the other fell
lows blind US into rapping over the

The Minneapolis Times sus-
pended publication on Sunday,
Sept. "a, after an existence of
nearly is years. The Minnea-
polls Tribune has contracted to
fill it's unexpired subscription
list and arrangements are made
to pay all the current bills and
the bonds which are secured by
mortgage on the plant and other
property. The discontinuance
of the Times was announced on
the last day of publication. Ever
since last January frequent
rumors were in circulation of a
suspension of the paper, which
failed to take place. Finally,
when least looked for, the paper
stopped.
With the disappearance of the
Times Minneapolis now has on
ly one morning paper, the Tri'
bune, the daily paper of largest
circulation in the northwest
From the standpoint of the
readers it is probably a decided
advantage to have one great
strong paper than to have part
of the reading public patroniz
another paper. The Tribune
now has over 100000 paid cir
culation, making it nearly twice
as great as any other paper. NJ
paper has 100000 readers,
which is about the numbes that
read the Minneapolis Tribune
every day, without hitting the
bulls eye of popularity in the
northwest. Some people will be
sorry to miss the Times, but
there is some consolation in the
knowledge that by this very fact
it's contemporary, the Minnea
polls Tribune will be benefited
and materially improved.

Steele Ozone: The Forum asks
"where does the macaroni wheat
go?" and surmises that it is
mixed with No. 1 hard wheat and
goes into our -four. Not the least
doubt about that. And you
notice the -four went up as wheat
was getting ready to drop. Some
millers say they cannot get rid
of the durum -four any more
than a tenth as fast as the other
goes. For this reason some
farmers fear to grow durum, al
though it yields better than fife.
Well, people have to eat flour of
some kind, and it takes about as
much to go around. Now if the
North Dakota farmers will grow
two.thirds durum and a third
fife, it will not be very long be.
fore durum will have better
standing IN the market. 1t is
cracked up by government ex-
perts as making the more nutri-
thus -four, but the millers affect
to decry it, while usingit at sew
eral cents less per bushel than
the other grain. There's some
thing odd here.
