Aviation Meet.

The aviation meet, held at the Min
nesota state fair grounds during the
latter part of last week, was resplen-
dent with thrills and spectacular stu
ations. The program consisted of
speed trials of automobiles and motor
cycles, exhibition flights of aeroplanes
and dirigible balloons.
Barney Oldfeld with his 200 horse
power, "Lightning Benz" gave some
most wonderful performances, break
ing three worlds circular track speed
records. Old6eld was the first man to
drive mile on circular track in
less than minute. In 1902 he made
a mile in IS seconds. This record
was lowered year by year until in
1908 Ralph De Palma drove mile on
the Hamline track in 81 seconds fiat.
Last Thursday Old6eld swept around
the same track in 40 2-5 seconds,
lowering the world s record by triAe
over l 3-5 seconds. Old6eld also re.

track.
Glen b. Curtiss did some excellent
work with his aeroplane. The first
day the flight was unsuccessful but af'
ter securing and installing a new
S-cylinder engine Mr.. Curtiss was able
to sail at will, remaining in the air al
various times from four to eight
minutes. The machine used was the
same one in which be accomplished
the flight from New York to Albany
and return.
The dirigible balloons gave severa
very creditable perform nces although
they can hardly be compared with the
aeroplanes in general efficiency ani
utility.

Children's Day Exercises.

Sunday evening the children of the
primary department of the Methodist
church rendered a most interesting
and varied program. The exercises
were in many ways marked de-
parture from the general order of pro-
cedure and showed much careful drill
and preparation in their execution.
The children entered the church by the
main door, the younger classes lead
ing, marched up and down the aisles
singing, "Onward Christian Soldiers
and finally assembled in the choir
loft.
welcome was extended the audience
by Joyce Briggs, Bertha Hatcher,
Irene Cater and Mary Galley in a very
pretty manner. Then followed a
rapid succession of recitations, solos
and songs.
The recitations by Kathryne Void
and Eva Ross we're excellent as was
also the reading by Mrs. Libby.
The audience was especially
favored by the presence of a quartet
consisting of Messrs. Kopp, Jones,
Radeke and Ewing and by most de-
lightful solo rendered by Gertrude
Neumann.
The most unique number of the pro-
gram was daisy drill, executed by
eight girls dressed in appropriate
costumes. The event was carried off
in a most pleasing and creditable
manner.
The children, by their work
throughout, gave evidence of most
careful and painstaking preparation.
Much credit is due Mrs. G. A. Galley,
under whose supervision the entire
program was planned and executed.

Rold on to Your Live stock FARMERS.

II Old on to Your Live Stock Farmers.
During the past two weeks several
hundred head of cattle have been
shipped to market from Milaca and
Princeton-20O head we're shipped
from Princeton alone on Tuesday.
Prices range from 21s to cents per
pound on foot. These are ruinously
low prices. It seems to us the farmers
are unnecessarily alarmed. The
season is young yet. The scorching
hot weather cannot last much longer.
Pasturage may be poor at present but
few refreshing showers will revive
the grass, and showers are bound to
come. There is an abundance of wild
hay meadows in this vicinity, and
while there may be a shortage of
timothy and clover there will be no
dearth of wild hay. Then again a
few acres of fodder corn would supply
the lack of tame hay and clover.
Farmers receive too much gra-
tuitous advice and they know their
own business best, but we do hate to
see them dispose of their young stock
and COWS on falling market. We
believe every farmer should make an
effort to hold on to his live stock,
especially his COWS. Don't sell be-
cause your neighbor does. Let each
individual farmer exercise his own
good judgment. This panicky feeling
will pass away soon. Hold on to
your live stock as long as you pos
sibly can. Prices, in all probability,
will not be any lower. Don't sell on
a falling market unless you are
actually obliged to.

Endangering the Public Health.

Attention is called to the official
notice issued by the chairman of the
board of supervisors of the town of
Princeton with reference to the de-
posting Of rubbish and carrion
alongside the public highways of the
town Of Princeton. The stencil aris-
ing from carrion and rotten rubbish
alongside the road leading to the new
bridge south of the village is unbear-
able and dangerous to the public
health. It is high time that those
who are guilty of depositing garbage,
carrion, etc., alongside the public
highways on the outskirts of the vii
lage were brought to task. The pen
atty provided by law-not less than
500 fine or three months imprison-
ment-is severe, but not too severe
for those who wantonly endanger the
public health. Chairman Schmidt OF
the town board informs the Union
that he will make it his business to
see that the law is strictly enforced
hereafter. His Commendable action
will meet with the hearty approval OF
all right-minded people.

Indian Blankets

Painful suspicious are liable to as sail and finger with collectors who read about the genuine Indian blankets advertised by an Illinois corporation "A generation ago" the advertisement runs. we began making blankets for the Nayajoe. Cheyenne Comanche Sioux and other tribes. These blank cts became famous. The Indians sold them for fabulous prices. The blank cts at your dealers that bear the Blank trademark are identical with those that go to the Indian agencies, except that they are clean, sanitary sweet
 "a cruel insinuation that it is evidence of genuineness. in the form Of dirt. which makes these latter souvenirs salaDle to tourists. Furthermore, the offers choice of two hundred designs, the brilliant blank cts of the nortern tribes or the more subdued hues of the southwestern In- dians," for s7.50. Perhaps in the light of these facts We would better modify our inherited conviction that the noble red man is an unsophisticated crea- ture. with no talent for business. Or shall We rest at the conclusion that genuine Indian blankets and genuine Indians are equally rare?

Dean Rogers View of It.

The election of Simeon F. Baldwin to be governor of Connecticut ts one of the gratifying results of the recent election. It is the answer which that state makes to Theodore Roosevelt, man who once commanded the respect of his political opponents, but who does so no longer. The state of Connecticut does not take M-. Roosevelt at his own estimation. It did not take at all kind 1y his uncal1ed for insult to a. man who, in personal character and in intel feet. is his superior. It is matter for profound regret, shared by thoughtful Americans of all parties, thsat a man who has filled the highest of all offices should descend to the depths which he reach ed in the recent campaign. The election returns make it very plain how
 mistaken he was when, adopting the language of the prize ring, he permitted himself to say: I've got enn beaten t- a frazzle and knocked clean through the ropes. I hit that Connecticut judge right between the eyes, It is true that some one went through the ropes. The otiore Roosevelt now understands pret- ty we'll who it was that went through, and that his name was not Baldwin At least he understands the matter if he has himself recovered from the daze.- Dean H W. Rogers of the Yale Law school in the Independent.

Southern Progress.

The south is not only making good the deficiency of former years in hog and hominy'' but is growing hay and fodder for it's stock in quantities which go far to make it's planters in dependent of the west. Not only so but the southern wheat crop of 1910 exceeds by 26,00O 900 of bushels that of 1909. though there was a falling off in the production of other sections amounting to 100000 of bushels This is the high road to southern pros perity. Raise cotton and tobacco as money crops but raise cereals and long foodstuffs to feed your hands and cattle. The upper Mississippi section
 has grown rich on the thriftlessness of the southern farmer and planter Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
