New Potato Bug.

Potato growers are troubled with a
new type of bug which is creating
havoc. This pest has appeared in
various sections, not only in Mime
sofa but also of North Dakota, and is
reported to be doing considerable
damage. This is a long, black bug
and works very rapidly, cutting off
the leaves in many instances close to
the stem, thus stripping the plant of
it's entire foliage. Farmers report
that often the beetle makes it's appear
ance late in the evening, feeding at
night. and then leaving for parts un-
known early in the morning. This
insect seems to resist the ordinary
methods of spraying more success
fully than the Colorado beetle.
Farmers are making strenuous efforts

state Engineer Sees Rapid Progress.

George W. Cooley, engineer of the
state highway commission, predicts
that under the Dunn good roads bill
the state of Minnesota will make such
progress in the next FIVE years as to
give it the best system of state high
ways in the country. This, says Mr..
Cooley, will be done not by the
general construction of macadam
roads, but by improvement of the dirt
roads on scientific principles and by
surfacing the sandy roads with clay
or gravel.
The state will pay one-half the cost
OF state roads designated by each
county, and supervise the work
through it's staff of engineers. The
state revenue available for the work
will be s250,000 a year, and in event
that the one-mill tax amendment is
approved by the people next year,
this can be increased to 100000
year.
County boards will be called upon
to designate roads for state co-opera-
ton much earlier for the coming year.
The highway commission has decided
on a change of policy which will give
time for drawing careful specifications
for each road. In the past the county
boards have waited until spring to Sc
lect the pieces of road to be improved
under state aid and supervision. The
commission this year will ask the
county boards to take action before
Jan. l, determining how much money
the county will spend on state roads,
and in what localities. The state
cannot spend a sum greater than the
county spends, SO that the county
budget determines how much state
road is to be built. By having notice
this winter, the highway commission
will be able to get out plans and
specifications in time for the work to
begin early next season. There will
be about 100000 to be spent by the
state next year. No one county may
receive more than 8 per cent, or less
than half of ] per cent of this fund.-

HI HO FOR THE FAIR
The Committee Has Already Raised
$1,000 and the $500 More
Needed is in Sight.
Work Has Already Commenced on
the New Horticultural Hall
and the Grand Stand.

In less than two hours last Friday
afternoon the fair-soliciting committee
raised almost 1000; there we're five
subscriptions of 500 each, several
signed for $50 each, more for S25,
and there were $40 and S. subscrip-
tons. The committee would not
accept anything less than S.. About
$500 more is needed. The subscrip-
ton paper can be signed at Evens'
hardware store. It is hoped that the
$500 will be subscribed by the end of
the week. Everyone who has not al
ready subscribed, and can afford it,
is respectfully invited to step into
Evens' store and sign for whatever he
or she wishes to subscribe. The fair
will benefit the whole community, and
the entire county for that matter.
Let all who can afford it lend a help
ing hand. It is neither right nor just
that the few should be obliged to
shoulder all the financial RESPONSE
bility when all are equally interested.
OF course, the amount already sub
scribed guarantees the erection of a
tasty and substantial horticultural
hall and new and substantial grand
stand, but there are other permanent
improvements imperatively demanded,
and it will require at least $4,000 to
complete them. There is already
promised or on hand: $500 from the
county, $500 from another source,
81, 900 subscribed, and the gate re-
ceipts will be anticipated to the extent
OF $500, that will make So, 500, and
$500 additional must be raised by
subscription. Surely it will not be
much of job to raise the $500. We
are proud of Princeton's public
spirited citizens and they will be
proud of their fair and grounds this
year and every year hereafter.
President Bryson has a force of
men at work laying the concrete foun-
dalton for the horticultural hall and
tearing down the old grand stand.
The fair grounds will be busy place
from now until the buildings are COM
pleted and everything in readiness for
the best fair ever held by the associa-
ton.

COMPANY G GETS CUP
Trophy at First Awarded to Duluth
but is Afterward Taken Away
and Given to Princeton.
Dishonest Act on Part of Company
is the Reason for Wrestling
From 1t the Trophy.

The boys of Company G arrived
home from Camp Lakeview on Friday
and, despite the strenuous tactics
they had been put through, all we're
happy and smiling. But there was
an especial reason for this happy
mood-they brought the trophy of the
company team shoot with them. And
thereby hangs a tale:
Company G of Duluth, which made
a score of S45, was awarded this
trophy, Company G. coming in second
with score of S24. Elated over their
victory the Duluth boys hired a pho
tographer to take their pictures and
that of the cup, and celebrated the
event with big banquet and much
rejoicing. But, as it proved AFTER
ward, they we're a trifle premature.
Captain Galley, in his official capacity
as a member of the field staff, had
been doing a little detective work-he
smelled a rat and ferreted the var
mint out, and a most malodorous
varmint it proved to be. In plain
English, he discovered that Company
G of Duluth had played dirty trick,
that it had sneaked a man from the
First regiment into it's team under an
assumed name-one of it's best shots
was absent and this man had been
substituted. Immediately after max
ing this discovery Captain Galley de-
manded that an investigation be
made, and this resulted in orders
being given to Company G to turn
the trophy over to the Princeton boys,
which makes them winners of the cup
three times in succession.
To merely compel these men to turn
over the trophy to Company G seems
hardly enough-the stealing OF the
match, to which it virtually amounted,
should be accompanied with greater
punishment. To sneak in riAeman
under such circumstances was an act
of dishonesty and Injustice which, we
should think, calls for the court mar
tlaling of the officers who permitted
it., for they must certainly have known
of the presence Of this substitute
After this the ''crack" rifle team of
Company G will bear watching.

qualified in the expert class we're

with his trip. Through his friend,

Dear Sirs: In your issue of June
p you have an item on "Cutworm
Destroyer Discovered. This So
called worm which the young man
found is the larva or grub of one OF
the ground beetles and, as has been
known for some time, is very useful
to the farmer in attacking and
killing cutworms and other cater
pillars. It is quite voracious and
does great work. It turns into a hard
shelled beetle over an inch long,
which we sometimes see running about
over plowed land.
Yours very truly,

this beetle could be found the benefit
which would follow would be meal

Creamery Package Company Loses Case.
In an opinion written by Justice
Bum the state supreme court afirms
the decision of the lower court that
the Creamery Package company, an
Illinois corporation, has violated the
Minnesota antitrust law and conse-
quently cannot be permitted to con-
duct business in the state. The case
will be appealed to the United States
supreme court. OF the company's
argument that the "rule of reason,
principle applies in this case, Judge
Bum says: 1.-THE Standard Oil and
tobacco cases are appealed to to induce
US to apply the rule of reason to the
case. In other words, we are asked
to hold that our statute be construed
as forbidding only such monopoly

common law. These decisions do not

that the acts of defendant constituted

conviction is the first under the state
