bush. The price agreed upon was
about $39 per acre.
The question of purchasing a site
and establishing county poor farm
had been under discussion by the
commissioners for several months.
They visited poor farms in adjoining
counties, made full inquiries as to
their operations and, from the in
formation obtained, came to the con-
clusion that it would be to the best
interests of the taxpayers of Mile
Laos county to establish such an in
stitution. Not, however, until they
had ascertained the sentiment of the
taxpayers, by having them vote upon
the proposition at the last election,
did the commissioners decide to estab-
lish poor farm.

He and Mr.. Chapman also conferred
together and it was arranged that an
expert road builder would be here

work of improvement-the state

promised that enough rock would be

Elections While You Walt.

Few citizens of Minnesota realize
what they have lost by the defeat of
the recall bill in the last legislature.
We might have had elections every
week until the next legislature met
and repealed the act in hot and furi-
Gus haste.
We might have changed our COVER
nor with the changing seasons like
our hats and underwear. If the re-
call applied to judges, we might juggle
them in and out with such expedition
that most cases would have to be de-
cided on the record by the successor
OF the judge who had heard the evil
dence. Cities might shift mayors with
such neatness and dispatch that by
the time the act was repealed nearly
every prominent citizen could write
Former Mayor before his name.
This whole business is so confusing
that we frankly admit we do not know
whether any recall law anywhere ap-

Farming for College Men.

James j. Hill believes a rich oppor-

scientific farming. In an article which
appeared in the Yale News last week
be says:
1t seems probable to me that there
are good many hundred university
graduates in this country every year
who would be better off if they had
shaped their studies with a view to
agricultural industry and had taken
their diploma straight to the farm.

Celebrate Wooden Wedding.

Twenty-four young married people
and some single ones assembled at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ira G..
Stanley on Saturday evening to as
sist them in celebrating the fifth ami
versary of their wedding. It was in
deed motley aggregation-the guests
were arrayed in variety of costumes
and represented different races such
as Indians, Cinnamon, Zulus and
whirling dervishes of the desert.
Heine Plaas stood out very conspicu u
ously as the American fat baby boy.
His habiliment consisted of an alb
breviated frock,. striped socks, cop
per-toed shoes and bib and tucker.
He sat in high chair-made especi-
ally for the occasion-and sucked a
stick of red, white and blue candy.
His face was a sight to behold,
daubed all over with coloring. The
evening was given over to fun and
frolic, with a mock wedding in which
Miss Rita Byers acted in the capacity
of the village parson and tied the
knot with a piece of binder Irvine.
The presents received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanley we're, of course, all OF
wood, such as Dutch shoes, axe
handles, a cord of maple, an oaken
bucket and miscellaneous other ar.
ticles. At lib Mrs. Stanley served
a splendid luncheon, and on the strike
of IL Ira chased the guests out of the
house with an axe handle, as it is
against his principles to desecrate the
Sabbath. AS the company proceeded
homeward Heine Plaas was observed
toddling along in the wake with a
piece of vari-colored candy still in
his hand,

Could Be Made Beauty Spot.

The court house grounds in this vii
lage could be converted into one OF
tn prettiest parks extant, but it would
take considerable money to accom-
plish it. There are plenty of fine
shade trees on the grounds, and
flower gardens could be laid out here
and there which would transform the
property into veritable beauty spot.
But it would be necessary, first of all,
to fence in the land, which would pre-
vent people from crossing it in every
direction and thus making zigzag
paths and destroying the grass.
Yes, the court house grounds could
be transformed into a beautiful park.

The Oldest Dog in the State?

The Oldest dog in Princeton, and
probably in the state, is Jim, owned
by Robert Clark, janitor at the court
house. "Jim," said Mr.. Clark a
day or two ago, sis at least 20 years
old" The dog looks like cross be-
tween sky terrier and wildcat and
is as active and playful as pup. he
is very intelligent, performs all sorts
OF tricks and is indeed a wonder for a
dog Of his years. The only indica-
tion OF old age betrayed by Jim is the
fact that he has lost some of his teeth
and is beginning to show traces OF
grey in his otherwise black coat.
