New Settlers Coming,

81. E. Culver, Harry L. Dixon,
George r. Griffee and Adolf Schmit
last week purchased farms in Mile
Laos county from Mcmillan & Stan
ley and will take possession immedi-

and will settle in Hayland township,
Mr.. Culver on 800 acres, Mr.. Dixon
on 40 and Mr.. Griffee on 40. The
last named, Mr.. Schmit, comes from
Wabasha county, MIMI, and has pur-
chased 80 acres adjoining Henry
Schmidt's farm in the town of Prince
ton. They are all practical farmers,
are men of means, and the people of
the county will welcome them. There
is plenty of room for more settlers of
such desirable class. Messrs. Me-
MILAN & Stanley are entitled to
credit for their efforts to settle up the
country with good class of people.

Do Dogs Reason?

From an incident recently brought
to our attention we are inclined to the
belief that they do. The story is told
by a st. Paul man whose word can at
all times be relied upon. He owns a
Spitz dog named Ted and one day
last week when, as customary, he
gave Ted his evening meal, the dog
hid it behind tree. He did not bury
it, but trotted off across the lot to a
neighbours house and soon returned
accompanied by another dog named
Prince. Arriving at the place where
the meat had been hidden Ted pointed
it out to Prince, and the guest made
short work of the meal while the Spitz
sat by and watched him. Ted was
apparently not hungry but, instead of
burying the meat as most dogs would,
he remembered his friend, Prince, and
brought him to where he had hidden
it. Is this reasoning?

The Place to Rusticate.

The time of year is upon US when
people HE themselves to the lakes for
rest and recreation-they go camping,
fishing, etc.-nature tells them that
they need a change. Princeton is
blessed with many pretty lakes within
easy reach, but there is no summer
resort where people can find such ex-
cellent accommodation as at Elk Lake
park, conducted by Fl. B. Pratt.
Cottages, at reasonable rates, may
there be rented as we'll as rowboats
and gasoline launches. The fishing
in Elk lake is good-black bass, crap
pies, pickerel, pike and other fish
abound there, and the surrounding
country is picturesque. You will en-
Joy your summer vacation if you pass
it at Elk Lake park.

Impure Water DANGEROUS,

Science has proved that water is one
OF the most dangerous of things to
handle in the public supply. Hun
dreds Of scientific men are busy at in
tervals, striving to perfect the water
supplies of city and town. Perhaps
the time will come when all water can
be rendered safe for use by science,
but that time is far distant. Long
ago the makers of golden grain belt
beers solved the water problem by
going into the earth 900 feet to find
just the soft pure water necessary to
make table beer, absolutely free from
foreign matter. That explains it's ex-
quisite flavor, and sparkling clarity.
