UASHINGTON.-The progress Of
W the modern woman in the indus
trial world and how she Is crowding
into occupations hitherto monopolized
by man Is made known In a report Is
sued by the government census bu-
reau. The figures are based on the
census returns of 1900 and show that
even that long ago woman had in
vaded all but nine of the 303 occupa-
tions in which the bread winners of
the United States were engaged. AS
to whether she has wedged her way
into these nine occupations in which
man was then dominant the report
sheds no light.
The returns show, among other
things, that Ave women were employ
cd as pilots. On steam railroads ten
were employed as baggagemen, 81 as
brakemen, seven as conductors, As as
engineers and firemen, and rs as
switchmen, yardmen and f1agmen, and
43 were carriage and hack drivers, six
were ship carpenters, and two roofers
and skaters. One hundred and eighty
FIVE were returned as blacksmiths and

WHERE HoLsTEINs ORIGINATED
Brief History Of This Type Of Dairy
Animal.

The cattle known in America as
Holstein-Friesians belong to the short
horn, low-land race, native to the low
lying, fertile lands of Europe border
ing on the North Sea, of which race,
from the dairy standpoint, the Hol-
stein-Friesian family Is the most high.
ly developed. These cattle might have
been better named Friesian, since
Friesland, and the neighboring prov
inces of Holland, is the central home
from which this breed of cattle has
been so widely disseminated over the
old world, and from which some 10 900
head of foundation stock has been
brought to America. The Friesian
people are among the most conserva-
tive Of the Germanic race, still hold
ing to and speaking among themselves
the old Friesian language, although
also able to speak Dutch, the official
language of Holland. They have been
equally conservative in holding to
their ancient industry of cattle rear
ing, an occupation for which their
low-lying lands are especially fitted
and, as the Roman historian Tacitus
speaks Of them nearly 1900 years ago
as cattle breeders, paying a tribute

pire. so we find them to-day making
dairy husbandry their main industry.
Holding mainly to one occupation
down through the centuries, and pass
ing the business from father to son,
1t would be strange indeed, says
Farmers Review, II their breed of
cattle did not reach very high de-
gree of development; so 1t is in no
way surprising that we should find
these Friesian dairymen possessed of
breed of cattle which, as an all
around dairy breed. is superior to any
other breed known.

A movement to pension the army

THE plant industry bureau Of the de-

are not sufficiently utilized for food
purposes and has issued a bulletin Of
advice to the farmers, telling them
how to use the stock that is OF too

1t pays special attention to the "evap-
grafton" OF apples as being particu-
larly valuable in using up the fruit
that might ordinarily go to waste.
1t points out that the portion of a
fruit crop which is of too low grade

II dairy farmer has at his COM
mand carefully kept statistics con-
corning the yields of his cows, he is
in much better position to decide
from which cows 1t Is advisable that
he should rear than the farmer who

ner, two factors control Its eventual
usefulness as q dairy COW, namely,
the quantity and the quality of the
milk produced by its ancestors. The
fact that good Quantity mixer is
but rarely bred from a poor mixer,
and that a heavy milking dam is like
ly to produce a good milking on
spring, has long been realized. but the
fact that poor quality producing
COW invariably impresses upon her
progeny the same falling is point
that is often overlooked. The truth
Of both these rules cannot be too
strongly emphasized. They hold true,
not only direct from female to female,
but also from female through male to
female. There are quite as many rea-
sons why record Of quality should be
kept, as there are for the keeping OF
records of quantity, and there Is every
reason for keeping both.

CAN SECURE HEARING.

But Must Plead Guilty in Order to Take
Advantage of New Law.
A prisoner in the Hennepin county
Jail who was indicted by Mile Laos
county grand jury for second-degree
grand larceny in 1905, and who was
recently arrested upon his discharge
from Saltwater, where he had served
term for some other crime, writes
the I'm on to ascertain whether he
cannot, under the law, upon entering
a plea, demand an immediate arraign-
ment so that sentence may be passed
upon him instead of being compelled
to linger in jail until the next term of
court.
The U n has interviewed County
Attorney Ross upon this matter and
he has looked up the law thereon. He
finds that the man indicted can, upon
application to the district court, Sc
cure an immediate disposition of his
case provided that he enters plea
of guilty.
In the case at issue Mile Laos
county would save the amount of the
prisoners board in the Hennepin
county jail by permitting him to pro-
coed in this manner, which he appears
to be willing to do.

Improve the Streets,

With revenue of SIS, 900 per year
from saloon licenses it should not be
necessary to levy any direct tax for
the maintenance of the village, save
such an amount as is required to meet
the interest and part of the principal
on the bonded Indebtedness. The
electric light and water plant should
be almost, if not quite, self-sustaining.
If any direct tax is levied it should
be for the Improvement of the streets.
In wet weather, especially in the
spring and fall, the principal streets
of our village would disgrace back
woods road district. There is no
place that reform work will show to
better advantage than right on the
streets of our village. The county
commissioners are making good prog
ress in the Improvement of the high
ways throughout the county. Let the
village council of Princeton emulate
their example.

Money for Roads and Bridges is Graft But
Other Extravagant Appropriations Are
Ieritorious.
The legislature at this session has
introduced a new road and bridge
policy. Two bills embodying the
policy were introduced, one. by Mr..
Garfield in the senate and one by Mr..
Howard in the house, and although
Senator Canfeld's was the bill finally
adopted, it's success was due in no
small part to the efforts of Mr.. How
ard, who has been working necessarily
and energetically for it during the
entire session. Under the terms of
this bill 5000, 1000 is appropriated an
nually for the construction of roads
and bridges throughout the state,
which sum is apportioned to the coun-
ties in proportion to their area. The
money is to be expended under the
direction of the county commissioners.
Natural y the bill was fought by the
cities on the ground that it's benefits
were sectional. When Sl50,000 is ap-
propriated for capitol grounds, that's
patriotic; when it is proposed to ex-
pend 100000 for the erection of a
grand stand at the state fair, that's
encouraging agriculture; when ST., OO0,-
900 is appropriated for the state uni
versity, that's advancing the cause of
popular education; but when 5000, 900
is asked for roads and bridges, that's
graft. Now you can tell the differ

Wilton, minnesota. After Fiji
teenth of This Month.

Miss Orpha Townsend, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Townsend,
was married to Leroy M. Farnham at
the Methodist church in the presence
of large assemblage of people on
Thursday evening, April Is.
The church was prettily decorated
for the occasion with potted ferns and
cut flowers while the aisles were COW
cred with varicolored rugs.
The approach of the party was an
nounced by the bridal chorus from
Mendelssohn executed on the piano by
Miss Aimee Woodcock. The first to
enter the church after Rev. J. w.
Heard had taken his position at the
altar we're Milton Farnham, the
groomsman, and Leroy M. Farnham,
the groom, who approached from the
side entrance. Then came Miss Mary
Patterson, the bridesmaid, who was
followed down the main aisle to the
altar by Miss Orpha Townsend, the
bride, escorted by her father, Geo. A.
Townsend. Immediately after came
Mrs. Townsend, the mother of the
bride, who joined the bridal party at
the altar. The Rev. J. W. Heard
then pronounced the words which
made the young people man and wife.
A gown of white net over China silk
was worn by the bride and she car
ried nOsegay of roses, while the
bridesmaid IS dress was of white and
pale green organdie and the boquet
which she carried of pink carnations.
G.. P. Ross and Fremont Woodcock
were the ushers.
A reception followed the ceremony
at the home of the brides parents,
where four young misses, daintily
clad in white, assisted in serving re-
freshments.
The bride and groom are very
highly respected in Princeton where
both were active members in church
work. That they have a large num-
Der Of friends was manifested by the
many costly gifts bestowed upon them.
The out-of-town guests at the we'd

trying position. Towards the close of
the session the sergeant-at-arms was
indisposed and Mr.. Deans had double
duty to perform. But he was equal>to
the emergency and was highly compli-

admirable manner in which he at

A LITERARY TREAT
Tom Lawson's Great Story, .Friday
the Thirteenth Commences
lnsThis Weeks Issue.
Story Will Be Completed In Next Num-
Der, When Union Will Con.
tain Sixteen Pages.

People, old and young, like to read
a good, clean story. This week the
U n i publishes the opening chapter
of Tom Lawson's great story of
Frenzied Finance entitled, ''Friday the
18TH" The story will be completed
in the next number of the Union,
but it will necessitate the issuance of
a sixteen page paper. Next week
every subscriber of the Union will
receive sixteen page paper. We do
not propose to neglect any of the
regular features of the Union in
order to give our readers this rich
treat. It costs us money and labor
to furnish this story in two issues,
but it will not cost any Union sub
scriber one cent additional over the
regular subscription price of 81. 90 per
year.
The Union has now the largest
number of bona fde subscribers of
any newspaper published in the Eighth
congressional district outside of the
city of Duluth. The building of the
500 extension will add materially to
the population of Mile Laos county
and we propose to add 1000 new sub
scribers to our subscription list this
year.
For 81 years the Union has been
the official paper of Mile Laos county
and so long as it is owned by it's
founder, the present publisher, it will
continue to be the official paper of
Mile Laos county. The U on COW
ers the local field thoroughly each
week, but it is more than a local
paper-it is paper of state reputa-
ton and has subscribers in almost
every county of the state. The sub
scription price of the U Mon is only
81. 90 per year.

profusely decorated with white
streamers to which were attached a
dozen or more old shoes, and upon
the streamers we're written all sorts of
legends. A large number of people
we're at the depot to wish Mr.. and
Mrs. Farnham Godspeed.
