"1ndiana Folks"

Next Saturday night, at Brands
opera house the Perry Amusement
company will put on the splendid
four-act comedy drama entitled,
"Indiana Folks,' with singing and
dancing specialties and "Polly
Woggles" in her Rubentine dance.
The play is a beautiful story of rural
life with all the types represented true
to nature they look just like the
people down in that section of Indi-
ana where the data for the play was
obtained by the author, Mrs. Alkaline
Perry. Soy" Simpkins, the village
cut-up, will be there, and if "Cy''
fails to make you laugh there is no
laughter in you. The comedy drama,
"Indiana Folks" is highly recon-
mended by the press of the country.
The curtain will rise at 9 p. m. sharp.
There will be no moving picture
show this week.

becoming the custom among people of
all classes and habits to turn more
and more from our conventional Sab
baths to Gods first temples
''And here the divine Architect has
surely built in splendor. AS I trod
the rustling gold and crimson carpet
spread by September, or watched the
mellow autumn light slft through the
lnterlacing tops of majestic pillars,
or looked down long aisles whose
broad and shadowy peace might we'll
hush into rest the discomfort of even
the most world-weary, I thought,
surely here is something better than
the traditional golden streets and
gates of pearl-a type in miniature Of
the earthly paradise, where abides
not only peace, but the active and
conscious JOY of life in it's freest and
most natural form.''
The TOWNSHIP of Izatys is located at
the base of Mozomonie Point and
fronts on both the main lake and
Cove bay. The services of an expert
civil engineer and famous land
scape architect we're secured in de-
signing, laying out and plating the
townsite, and we'll did they perform
the work allotted them. The construc-
ton of roads and avenues and beauti-
flying the grounds has cost the COM
pany several thousand dollars. But
the day is not far distant when Izatys
will be dotted with handsome villas
and cottages. Then the energetic and
public-spirited townsite owners will
reap the reward their enterprise so
richly merits.
The nearest railroad point to Izatys
is Onamia on the 500 road, about
four miles distant, but there is good
highway leading from Milaca to Cove
bay over which automobiles can
speed at the rate of 80 miles per hour.
In fact it is less than a four hours
automobile trip from the twin cities
to the shores of picturesque Mile
Laos lake.

to the Taxpayers let it be continued
indefinitely; if, on the other hand, the
commission fails to make good, there
can be no excuse for it's existence. In
the meantime the commission should
be given fair trial and should not
be needlessly emba rrassed.
The q nj o n has no feeling in this
matter. We are not concerned in the
piques or quarrels of any individual.
Our only concern is the best interests
OF the village, and those interests will
not be furthered by unseemly jangling
and unnecessary litigation. In the
last analysis the taxpayers will be
called upon to foot the bills.

Insurance and repair of lines is
hardly a proper charge against the
plant. These two items amount to
81, 1922, which, if subtracted from
the total expenditures, would leave
a net expenditure for the support OF
the plant of Sc, 561.77. But it must be
remembered that not a dollar is
credited to the plant for light and
water furnished the village and, ow.
ing to the extreme dryness last year,
an immense quantity of water was
used in sprinkling the streets. For a
small village Princeton is certainly
we'll lighted, and it has IS hydrants
for fire protection. The plant should
be credited with So, 500 for light, water
and hydrants furnished the village
that would certainly be reasonable.
Now add So, 800 to the SIS, 1885 re-
ceived from private consumers OF
water and light and you have a total
of $8,073.95 as the receipts of the
plant for the year. Thus the expenses,
counting insurance and repairs,
amounted to S7,714.19, while the re-
ceipts following credit of 50, 500
for light and water for village) would
amount to sS,o73.95, showing a net
balance in favor of the plant OF
S359.76 These figures are absolutely
cOrroct and aro foir
There is no reason in charging
interest, merchandise and permanent
improvements against the plant; nor
is there any sense in charging an
arbitrary sum for depreciation of the
plant-every manufacturing plant de-
preciates in value more or less every
year.
Last year was exceptional. For
two months, when improvements we're
being made in the plant, water was
pumped from the starch factory at
a considerable additional expense in
the matter of fuel and oil. The plant
was never in better condition than it
is at present, and it is estimated that
a great saving in fuel will be effected
this year-probably 80 per cent.

Silver Wedding Celebra ton


Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Hoehn of the
town of Princeton are celebrating
their twenty-6fth wedding anniversary
today. Rev. Father Levings con-
Quoted the ceremony customary upon
such occasions at St. Edward IS church
at 9 O'Clock this morning in the
presence Of many relatives and friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hoehn. There were
probably $50 persons present. .-
At Mr.. and Mrs. Hoehn's resi-
dence, following the ceremony,
splendid dinner was served and en-
joyment reigned supreme. Many
pretty presents of silver were received
by the good people who had lived
happily together for quarter of a
century.
Mr.. Hoehn, who came to America
from Germany in 1869 and first settled
near Mankato, was married at that
place to Miss Catherine Bruels Is
years ago today. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoehn have lived in the town of
Princeton eleven years and are among
the most highly respected people in the
community.
The q n O extends its congratula-
lions and hopes that they may live
to celebrate the golden anniversary
of their wedding.

THE GERMANY ROAD,
Farmers and Villagers Alike Should Lend q
Helping Hand In Making This
Needed ImDrovement

Needed Improvement.
It will be conceded that Princeton's
main artery of trade is the Germany
Observation-Disclosures Ridge road.
1t will also be admitted that the first
one and one-half miles of that road,
commencing at the village limits, is
in a deplorable condition. Through
the efforts of the publisher of the
Union a large consignment of
crushed rock has been secured free of
cost for the improvement of the road
in question, and the State Highway
Commission has sent one of it's most
expert road-builders, Mr.. W. T.
Kerr, to supervise the work. At
present the road is being graded and
Strengthened: after the grading is
completed a coating of clay must be
applied before the rock can be spread,
then after the rock is laid a top
dressing of clay and gravel will COM
plete the job-the gravel will act as a
binder. But the town of Princeton
cannot stand all the expense-there
are many other stretches of poor
roads to care for, and only a limited
amount can be expended on the Ger
many road. Now, it is up to the
farmers who are obliged to travel
that road to lend helping hand: and
the business men of the village, too.
Let the farmers and villagers unite
and assist in this good work. Do it
now: commence tomorrow. Now is
the appointed time. If you can't send
a team send a man to assist in load
ing and unloading. Mr. Kerr can
only remain ten days, and the job
should be finished in that time. Let
each one do his part and do it now.
Any members of the town board
George Smith, VIM. Klingbiel or
Henry Dalchow-will tell you when
and where to 60 to work. Everybody
get busy, and commence tomorrow.

THE NEW ROAD LAW
K. s. Chapman and F. w. Nickerson
Engineers for Mile Lacs-Kaua-
bee and Anoka- Sherburne.
Important Provisions of the LaW-As.
sistant Engineers at Disposal of
County and Town Boards.

Already more than dozen deputy
state highway engineers have been ap-
pointed under the provisions of chap.
80 laws of 1911. r. S. Chapman
OF this place has been appointed
deputy engineer for the district COM
prised of the counties of Mile Laos
and Kanabec, and F.. b. Nickerson
of Elk River has been appointed for
the Anoka-Sherburne district. The
duties of the assistant engineers con-
sist in making all necessary surveys,
estimates and specifications for work
to be done on state roads, and in
exercising proper supervision over the
repair or construction of state high
ways.
Another important provision of the
law makes it the duty of assistant en-
glneers, upon the request of any
board of county commissioners or any
board of town supervisors, within
their respective towns and counties,
to advise and consult with such
county or town board in the construc-
ton or improvement of county, town
or judicial roads: to make plans and
specifications when so REQUIRED: to
exercise supervision over such con-
struction or Improvement, and lend
every possible assistance to the local
road authorities in lettering the pub
lie highways. Thus the services of a
competent engineer is placed at the
disposal of any town or county board
without cost to the town or county.
Another provision in the law that
will result in great benefit to the tax
payers provides that final payment
shall not be made on any contract for
road work, where the amount involved
exceeds 5000, by any county or town
board, until the district engineer has
certified that the work has been
properly done and completed accord
ing to contract, and his certificate to
THAT effect shall be filed with the
county auditor Of the county or the
town clerk Of the town where the work
has been performed, , as the case may be.
Now, if the county and town boards
will cooperate with the state highway
commission and its engineers
marked change for the better will soon
be noticeable in the condition of the
rural highways of the state. Next
year, when the receipts from the one
quarter OF mill state road tax come
into the treasury, five times as much
state aid will be received by each of
the counties as has been extended in
the past-each Of the counties will
average about So, 500. Later on, if the
one-mill tax amendment is adopted
by the people and enacted by the
legislature, each of the counties will
receive on an average $4,000.
It should be the aim of every town
and county road official in the state
to heartily cooperate with the state
highway commission and its officers
in making the law a success. The
best argument that can be adduced in
favor of the one-mill state road tax is
to faithfully carry out the provisions
OF chap. 80 general laws of 1911.
