LIFE IS A BATTLE.

Life is battle we must fight
While through this weary world we 90.
Let us strive to do all that is right
And to all that is wrong let us answer NO.
Let US prepare to fight life's battle
While we are young and strong,
We must learn not to boast and tattle,
But be cheerful with some nice song.
Our little life is but gust
That shakes the branches OF the trees
And scatters the flowers i'm the dust
To fade away in the autumn breeze.
Soon we will fade and pass away 9ss
Like the scarlet leaves that fan.
And IN the ground we will decay ~
Till God call US, one and all. e ~
Soon, oh, Lord, we'll cross death valley,
And on the other side we shall rest together.
There we always will be happy,
Where peace and joy reign forever.
Soon Wen have the victory won,
Whichis the hard-fought battle of life,
Very soon our work will all be done.
Then We'll gowhere there is no strife.

FACTORIES NEEDED, SAYS MANss
Ashland Is Told that Farming Com
munity Has Reached Its Growth.

Ashland, Neb. Feb, 25.-By invita-.
ton OF the Business Mems association,
w. II. Manss of Chicago, industrial
commissioner of the Burlington, Wis.
tied Ashland and conferred with the
merchants Of the town concerning the
future growth of this city. In his
talk to them Mr.. Manss impressed up.
on their minds the tact that the future
of the small city in eastern Nebraska
depends solely upon the changing OF
the character of its buying community,
The agricultural community about
the town has reached its full growth
and the business men a look to lit
tie increase in the future in the popu.
lation of their surrounding rural dis
trict. Increased railroad facilities
have developed the mail order houses
Of the larger cities which are making
serious inroads upon the local mer.
chants sales. This problem can best
be met by converting the small city in.
to a factory town. Many manufact-
uring concerns are leaving h larger
cities on account of high rentals and
the difficulty in obtaining labor and
are looking to the small towns In Hi
nois, Iowa and Nebraska for suitable
locations. Mr.. Manss demonstrated
that the financial returns from the To-
cation Of even n factory would be
great inasmuch as such an institution
employing 100 persons at an average
price of 81 a day means a payroll OF
5000 a week. Mr.. Manss held that this
was a larger sum than the entire
amount of money spent in Ashland OF
any town of similar size in Nebraska
by the farmers of the surrounding
community.

PiccadiIly.

A theory as to the origin Of Picca-

Bickersteth many years ago. He had
discovered Il Piccadilly among the
Chllterns, the central one Of three con
zeal hills near lyinghoe, and he learn
ed that this hill had ut Il time been
known also rs Peaked hill. Might not
London's p%iccadilly likewise be a
Peaked hill? No doubt the hill in Pic
cadilly is not remarkably peaky, but,
then. the same thing might he said of
the Derbyshire peak itself, There Is
another Piccadilly nea Aberystwyth,
and yet another near Bolton. But in

Revere the Dead--HonOr the Living.

In Duluth citizens auxiliary to
the G. A. r. has been organized. The
object of the auxiliary is to relieve the
old soldiers of the care and worry in
cident to the proper observance of
Memorial Day. The brave old boys
who wore the blue in the sixties are
getting we'll along in years and it is
meet and proper that the responsible
ity of the days exercises in CON-
memoration of their departed CON-
rades should be shifted to younger
shoulders. The movement started in
Duluth should become general. Why
not organize an auxiliary in Prince
ton? In any event the citizens gen.
orally should lend a hand. The veter-
ans are too few and many of them
too feeble to attend to all the details.
Some of the old boys may prefer to
march in the procession and take &C
tive part in the ceremonies, but car
riages should be provided for every
veteran who cares to ride. Bestrew
the graves of the soldier dead with
the most fragrant blossoms of May,
and make it pleasant for the men who
fought and marched in the sixties and
who are still with us on Memorial
Day. = >-

The South Line Bridge,

A few weeks since mention was made
in these columns of the deplorable
condition of the new pile bridg
across the Rum river Immediately
south of the village. Since then the
bridge has been partially repaired
and at the persent writing is passa-
BILE. But the repairs are of q" tenn po-
rary sort and the next freshet will
certainly wash out the western ap-
proach. If bridge is to be main
tanned there it should be an iron
structure with forty or fifty feet
spa over the main channel of the
river and piling approach should
be extended thirty or forty feet. to the
westward. The road leading to the
bridge from the foot of the Fredericks
hill should be elevated and brush,
which can be had in abundance in the
immediate vicinity, should be freely
used to prevent washing out. But all
this will require money, and the ques-
tion is, can the town of Princeton
afford to make the expenditure? Per-
haps part of the amount necessary
could be raised by public subscrip-
ton?

ure in the general situation. Just
how soon the movement of new stock
will be heavy enough to make much
Impression is a question that time
alone can tell. Those who are in
close touch with the deal figure that it
will be two or three weeks at least and
some say there will not be many new
potatoes to take the place of old stock
for a month. " r.
4 It is nearly a foregoney conclusion
that potato prices for some time to
come will continue high. At no time
has the feeling been stronger in old
potatoes and some dealers figure that
the highest price has not yet been
paid. The demand seems to be hold
ing up wonderfully and it is believed
that the free buying is sure sign of
a better market.
Altogether the potato situation
looks very strong, and unless the un-
expected happens it will be surprising
to number of operators if higher
prices are not seen before the deal is
over.-The Packer.

MIR. Robbins Contribution to History.

A'AA' ASoOpAAAo OOHIIAUuC1Ou co HlSCOrVs
The story of the Ojibway or Chip
pewa Indians by Mr.. D. II. Robbins
in this issue will prove interesting to
many of our readers. That the Mile
Laos Chippewas rendered signal SER
vice to the government and the white
settlers at the time of the Sioux out
break in 1862 is an undeniable histor-
ical fact; that the faithful Chippewas
were lily requited for their friendship
for the whites and their loyalty to the
government cannot be gainsaid. We
cannot agree with Mr.. Robbins when
he says that the late All. Wilder had
no personal knowledge of how the
pine on the Mile Laos reservation was
obtained by his partner, the late D. M.
Sabin. But we give the story as
written by Mr.. Robbins and, on the
whole, we believe it will be found to
be substantially correct. It will prove.
a valuable contribution to the history
OF Mile Laos county.

Notice to school Officers,

School officers who have not re-
ceived blanks for state aid should
notify this Office at their earliest con-
venience, and have same forwarded to
secure proper data before the teachers
of this school year 60 away. It has
been my endeavor to supply each
school, but a number of statements
were sent in last year that blanks had
been soiled or mislaid. The number
OF blanks sent out this year to this
Office have not been numerous, and for
that reason care must be taken in the
use OF those now on hand.
Fill in an answer to every question
required and see that the part of the
blank for the teacher is also filed.
Rulings from the department of public
instruction are to be closely followed
or application may not be considered, :.
and thus your district may lose 1925

Charlie Ryther Robbed of 1915.

Chas. Ryther, Princeton boy en-
ployed by Alfred Gumbrill, was re-
lieved of 1925 by thief in Milaca on
Wednesday morning. The money was
inclosed in purse and placed by the
boy in pocket of his coat. This
coat he hung upon a hook in the
Thompson boarding house and, with
Ira Bulls, made trip of inspection
to the Foley-Bean sawmill. When he
returned the money was gone. He
suspected a number of dagoes who
we're stopping at the same house.
These dagoes, who were bound for
Minneapolis, came down upon the
same train as the boy yesterday morn
ing, and upon reaching here Sheriff
Shockley and Deputy Sheriff Kaliher,
who had been notified by phone, we're
on hand and went through the pockets
of the Italians. No trace of the purse
was however found. Charlie feels
much cast down over the loss of the
money for which he had worked hard.

young people, Mr.. Arthur c. Howard
and Miss Lizzie Townsend, we're de-
clared man and wife by, the Rev. Mr..

uate of our high school-class of 1896.
He has taught school for five or six
years in this county and has just COM
pleted an eight-months term in district

is one of Princeton's fairest daughters
and deservedly popular with all who
have the pleasure Of her acquaintance;
she has also been engaged in teaching
and has just finished her second term

AGAIN THE WINNERS.

Princeton High School Defeats Elk River
in an Exciting Game.
The Princeton high school ball team
on Saturday played at Elk River the
high school team of that place, Not
withstanding the day was cold, and
windy a good sized crowd was present
to root for the contestants.
At 2:30 the game was called and
Will Roos of the Princeton nine was
the first to bat. He was hit by the
first ball thrown by Davis and went
thereon to first base. Roos was
followed by Jesmer, who made base
hit. Kaliher then made three
Dagger, scoring Roos, while Jesmer
was caught at the plate. This stirred
the boys up to renewed activity and
they went at it hammer and tongs.
Elk River gained run in the fourth
inning and Princeton followed with
four This ended the scoring for
Princeton, but Elk River ran in two
more scores in the eighth, which made
the outcome of the game S to 3 in
favor of the Princeton boys.
While the weather was too cold for
good playing both sides demonstrated
that they were in fine condition.
Davis, who pitched for Elk River, is
cool, determined player-one of the
best in this part of the country.
Every one of the Princeton boys
played we'll, but the work of Albert
Angstman in left field was exception
ally good. He took everything which
came his way.
Princeton made a total of eleven
hits and Elk River seven.
A return game will be played at the
fair grounds in Princeton next Satur-
day, and an exciting contest may be
expected.
The score and line up of the game
at Elk River is as follows:
