Boy Father of the Man.

[ once asked New England

was stationed at Peekskill-what we're
his intentions for the future of a
vigorous youngster who was playing
on the lawn. "Well," said he, 'smv

and letting boy follow the bent of
his mind. To find out what that was.
we left him in the sitting-room one
day with a Bible, a silver dollar and
an apple. I said: If, when we come
back, he is reading the Bible, I shall
train him to follow me as preacher:
if he has pocketed the dollar, I shall
make banker of him; if he is playing
with the apple, will put him on a
farm. When we returned. he was
sitting on the Bible, eating the apple
from one hand, and clutching the
dollar in the other, and I remarked
wife, this boy is a hog; we must
make a politician out of him. -

lative inquiry it is said FASTENED the
governors action. Mr.. Leavett's
term expires next April and his
friends are putting up a strong fight
against his retirement. Petitions for
his retention are being circulated and
are being extensively signed. That
they will have any effect is doubted.
Albert Berg, one of the old timers.
is in evidence about the legislative
halls these days. He is pulling hard
for Bemidji in the matter of the loca-
ton of the proposed new Normal
school.
Oddly enough those behind the
Legislative resolution calling for an
investigation of the state fair and it's
finances are in earnest this session, at
least they say so, and an insight into
few things hitherto kept under cover
is promised. Oscar Christensen. a
st. Paul member of the committee, de-
clares that he is going to the bottom
of the whole thing. Just previous to
the opening of the session a board of
audit named by Gov. Johnson re-
ported the associations finances to be
all right, but beyond that no other in
formation was given. The investiga-
tion of the association is bi-annuaI
event and to date has brought forth
nothing of suspicious character.
= !. j.
Representative W. D. Washburn of
Minneapolis is not the kind of legis-
lator who makes hit with those who
give and take, but he is consistent in
his views and his vote and neither is
permitted to interfere with what he
thinks is right. This is Mr.. Wash
burns second term and it is said that
he hopes to return the next time a
senator.
The senate agreeing, the Normal
school committees of both houses will
next week visit the several towns which
are actively competing for the new
Normal school. Thief River Falls.
Bemidji, Warren, and Cass Lake are
down on the list, and the activity dis
played by those concerned has practi-
cally overshadowed all other business.
Nothing is overlooked by the towns
involved in trying to interest the
members.
Talk runs to a possible contest for
the control of the house, with Messrs.
r. J. Wells, G. L. Spooner and W. A.
Nolan representing the insurgents.
Several sharp contests between the
Rockneites on the one hand and the
old following of Lawrence johnson on
the other have been taken as fore
shadowing what is to come, but the
promised scrap is hardly likely to take
place. Speaker Rockne to- date, has
made an excellent executive officer
and there has been little at which the
opposition could take offense. Mr..
Rockne is generally liked and his
friends are standing by him.

Mrs. Moeger, wife of Peter Moeger,
died at her home in this village on
Thursday, January 81, at 1870 O'Clock
p. M, aged So years 3 months. Mrs.
Moeger had been an invalid for over
twenty years and during that time she
was virtually helpless, one half of her

ITS ANNUAL MEETING
Stockholders of Princeton Corpora
tive Creamery Elect Officers
for the Ensuing Year.
Secretary's Report Shows Company
Has Done Satisfactory Bust
ness From the Start.

Almost a hundred representative
farmers, stockholders in the Prince
ton Cooperative creamery, attended
the annual meeting of the corporation
at the court house on Tuesday after
noon. 1t was a very enthusiastic
meeting. Every farmer seemed to be
pleased with the progress which the
creamery is making and to feel salts
fed with the receipts for cream. This
is as it should be, for the cooperative
creamery is one of the best friends the
farmer ever had-if he treats it right
by patronizing the concern instead of
the centraliZers.
Otto Henschel, the retiring secre-
tary, read his report for the six
months of the year 1908, or during the
time the creamery has been in opera
ton, and it was unanimously adopted.
1t showed that for an infant enter
prise, the creamery has already
proven a success that is. neat sum
has been cleared after paying working
expenses and incidenta]s. There is
now no doubt that the creamery, if it
hews along lines which it has followed,
will eventually become one of the
largest and best paying in the north
west.
President Louis Rust read the new
bylaws which we're accepted by the
board Of directors at it's meeting on
January "a, and the same were
adopted. These bylaws are shorter
than those previously used, although
they cover the same ground. -.
F. S. Stone, who was present from
the Creamery Package company, gave
the meeting a half-hour talk on har-
mony among stockholders, quantity
and quality of butter, etc. Among
other things he said that quantity
was necessary in order to cut
down the price of manufacture, and
that quality was absolutely necessary
in order to secure good prices. Both
combined is bound to prove success.
a certain standard should be set on
quality and farmers should be in
structed to that end on the care OF
COWS, separation and the care OF
cream. If all the cream produced
tributary to Princeton could be
delivered in frst-class condition to the
cooperative creamery the butter would
fetch three or four cents more per
pound in the eastern markets. Cream
should be separated fresh and de-
ivered at the creamery fresh two or
three times a week. A high grade
butter cannot be manufactured from
cream that is stale. Top-notch quality
should be the principal aim. He ad-
vised the stockholders to stick together
work in harmony-and the creamery
could not do other than prove a sue
cess.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Stones
address a motion was made to reduce
the number of directors from nine to
five and, upon being put to a vote,
the motion prevailed.
Following this the officers for the
ensuing term-year l9O9-were elected
as follows:
President, Louis Rust (re-elected)
vice president, Joseph Hoehn; secre-
tary, August Meyer; treasurer, John
Dalchow. Peter Jensen was elected a
director. With the four officers this
constitutes the board of directors.
The U nj on feels confident that
every man elected will make good.
They are all practical dairymen.

Judge kimball In the Police Court to-
day heard the case against Harry Sherry
of IS Louisiana avenue northwest
charged with not having meats properly
covered at his place OF business to pro-
tect them from the dies-this on two
dates. ',
Inspector ]. r. Mothershead stated that
August and August 3 they found hams
and shoulders uncovered while they were
lying on table In the business place Of
the defendant, whereas In the inforuaa-
ton upon which the arrest was made 1t
was designated that bacon was exposed.
Attorney Archer then placed several en-
pert witnesses on the sand who stated
that bacon was not the same as ham or
shoulder.
As last resort the court referred to
Websters dictionary. which gave the
definition of bacon as hogs flesh sailed
or picked aud dried. usually smoked
The court thereupon decided that the
hams and shoulders came under the same
definition as bacon.
The court thereupon imposed fine of
81 in each case. Attorney Archer filed a
motion in arrest of Judgment for the de-
fendaIt and made motion to take the
cases to the Court of Appeals. Sherry
was released under 500 bail in each case.
