last Saturday night.
We are having very cool weather
for this time of year and some are
predicting early frosts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Tomlinson we're
guests at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Sleeves on Sunday.
Marion Cater and his new binder
did a very neat job of cutting grain
for Eugene Duby the first of the week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Lundgren of
Minneapolis we're Sunday visitors at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Gates.
Uncle John Bockoven, aged IS, was
a pleasant caller at the home of his
nephew, L. D. Bockoven, last Satur-
day.
Rev. Orrock delivered sermon at
the German Methodist church last
Sunday. There was not large at
tendance owing to the inclement
weather.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. Bulleigh and chill
dren and Mrs. Josephine Allen of
Kansas we're entertained on Sunday
last at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Duby.
We are requested to state that a
gold pin for holding a ladies' chate-
laine watch was found at Percy
Harter's and the owner can have the
same by calling for it.
The game of baseball which was to
be played between the Greenwood and
Oxbow boys on Sunday was post
poned on account Of the rain and the
failure of the Greenwood boys to put
in an appearance.
This neighborhood was we'll repre-
sented at the opening ball in the NJ.
B. A. hall at Dalbo last Saturday
night. Among those who attended
we're Mr.. and Mrs. Val Mott, Henry
Bulleigh, Reuben Norberg, Alfred
Lavine, Miss Gertrude Sleeves, Miss
Myrtle Carr, Charles, Gus and Anna
Roadstrom, George and Helga Chal-
strom, and Axel, Oscar, Carl and
Signe Bengtson.
We have been wondering for some
time why there is so little said or
written in regard to the eradication of
noxious weeds, especially the Cana
dian thistle. There are some other
wise fine farms not far from Princeton
the appearance of which is very much
damaged by the prevalence of this
weed. Whether the owners of said
farms consider the matter of so little
Importance as to be scarcely worth
noticing, or whether it is more than
they know how to cope with, we do
not know. Perhaps some who have
successfully met and conquered the
Canada thistle might give others the
benefit of their knowledge.
On Monday Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Butter6eld of Long Lake came to
Princeton with their auto truck. They
we're in search of honey, and being
directed to Herb Gates bee ranch,
made their way thereto, where they
purchased two barrels of honey.
This they found too great load for
the machine and they therefore
shipped one barrel. Mr.. and Mrs.
Butter6eld have small apiary and
one Of the finest apple orchards in the
Lake Minnetonka region. They sup
ply great many customers in Min
neapolis with fruit and honey, but
this season, partly owing to some
trouble with their bees, their supply
OF honey ran short.
SPENCER BROOK.
Mrs. Fred Game of North Dakota,
is visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ed Dexter.
Charles Thompson is building a
granary. Jack Ferney is doing the
carpenter work.
Clark Severance and Frank Moore
are hauling coal from Princeton for
the digging machine.
Potatoes are bringing a good price,
and farmers who have early potatoes
are digging and hauling to market.
Rather poor hay weather the past
week. The rainy days and cold
nights make US think that Jack Frost
is lowering around.
Harry Farwell, young man work.
ing for VIM. Barton, fell from a load
OF hay, striking upon his head and
shoulders, and he was completely dis
abled for few days.
Andrew Swanson, an old resident
OF this place, dropped dead in the
field last Friday while shocking
grain. DR.. Cooney was called and
pronounced the cause of death to be
heart failure. The funeral services
were held in the Baptist church on
