The following article from the Cam

/ q / q immenseI "a healthy. good
nHtured rivalry to secure better roads
and more trade is what is nee1ed.
The town that has good roads leading
into it is the town that is deserving OF
and should receive the farmers trade
We sincerely hope our cambridge
friends will bestir themselves until
they get good highway west to the
Mile Lacs county line.
"Many farmers who live equi-
distant between Princeton and Cam
bridge and who would for various
reasons rather haul their products
here than to our sister village. and
this without any disparagement of our
nelghbOr, haul there rather than here
Tor the reason that better roads pre-
vail to that village. Especially is
this true Of the roads leading east
ward from Princeton. This fact
demonstrates that with the advent Of
the year 1912 the people Of Cambridge
and Of lsanti county must get together
and plan judiciously for better and
more durable highways. The same is
true of lsanti, Grandy, Braham
and Stanch6eld, and we would urge
that early in the year we have a
grand rally OF enthusiastic farmers
and business men to talk the situation
over. Every member Of the board of
county commissioners and of the vari-
Gus boards Of supervisors should be
invited to attend. We must do some
thing to hold our own and in all de-
cency we should get together. -
