Annual School Meeting.

Annual school meeting next Satur-
day evening. The only advice the
y O n has to offer is to make wise
selections of school officers. Elect
men and women who are competent in
each and every district. If you have
a good school officer, one who has
attended to the duties of the position
faithfully, re-elect that officer. Poll
tics or religion, your personal likes
or dislikes, should not be taken into
consideration when you come to vote
for a school officer. Vote for the
candidate whom your own good judy
ment tells you is best qualified for the
position. Remember, about one-half
OF all the taxes you pay are paid for
the support of our public schools,
hence it is absolutely essential, for
the best interests of the schools and
the taxpayers, that school officers, in
town and country, should be honest
and competent, and possessed of some
business ability.

A Good Job and One Not So Good.

A good job has been done on the
stretch Of road between the East and
West Branch bridges under the direc-
ton of the village council. It is a
pity that there are not sufficient funds
available to round up and gravel the
road between the foot of the Umbe-
hooker hill and the East Branch
bridge. There should be volunteer
labor enough to complete this little
job. In moist weather the piece of
road in question is generally in a de-
plorable condition.
While we do not like to find fault We
are afraid an expert road builder
would not approve of the work that is
being done on the street leading north
from the West Branch bridge. There
is too much debris being used as a
foundation and the roadway proper
is too high and too narrow.

made in the spring to secure choice
specimens of everything the fertile
soil of Mile Laos county will pro-
duce.
Ia this connection we take occasion
to remark that for two years in sue
cession, 1896 and 1897, Mile Laos
county, in competition with the entire
state, won first prize for the best dis
play of agricultural products. Mile
Laos county can do so again. It cost
over $500 each year to get the exhibit
together and properly arrange and
display the same. A county might
have the finest fruits, vegetables,
grains and grasses imaginable, but if
the same were not properly and taste
fully displayed a county with inferior
stuff, but artistically arranged, might
take first money.
Next year let the farmers and
gardeners in every section of the
county plant some stuff with the view
Of contributing it to the county ex-
hibit at the state fair, and we will
make showing that will cause the
other counties of the state to sit up
and take notice.
In the meantime let US unite in max
ing the ensuing county fair the best
and most successful since the organic
alton of the society. Many strangers
will visit our county fair this fall
and it will be splendid opportunity
to advertise the productiveness of our
soil

Noticeable Improvement In Roads.

In riding around the country tribu-
tary to Princeton one cannot help but
notice decided Improvement in the
condition of the country roads, but
there is plenty of room for still
further improvements. We UNDER
stand there is also considerable good
road work being done in the central
and northern end of the county this
season. With system of good high
ways the population of Mile Laos
county will double in the next decade,
for there is no county in the state that
offers better inducements to people
looking for place to locate and make
a comfortable living.

Village Council Meets.

At a regular meeting of the village
council last Thursday evening the fol-
lowing business was disposed Of:
The council, upon G.. A. Eaton s
offer to construct cement sidewalk
alongside of the Carew property,
agreed to move a quantity of sand
taken out for the purpose of laying
the walks at the Whittier school-onto
the place where it will be needed for
such construction.
A petition, signed by several prop
erty owners, was read asking that
permission be granted to make a
road two rods wide, running north
from the old cemetery for a distance
of about half mile. The hearing on
the petition was set for July 20.
DR.. Cooney's claim against the viii
lage in the sum of 81, 100 for personal
injuries sustained and damages to
horse, etc., by coming into contact in
the night time with wagon left on the
public highway by village employees,
was read and filed.
The council refused to pay the bills
presented by the commission for
lights, hydrants, etc., upon the
grounds that no arrangement had
been made as to price and that the
charges we're excessive.
M. L. Wheeler stated that a man
had offered to run the electric light
plant and pay all hired help for the
sum of $3.50 per month. A committee
consisting of Fredricks, Moeger and
Wheeler was appointed to lay the
matter before the commission.
The auditing of big batch OF
bills concluded the work of the
session.

Uncle Sam and Good Roads.

Senator Swanson of virginia is a
good roads advocate. He is to con-
gress what r. G. Dunn is to the Min
nesota legislature. He is anxious to
have something definite done. Mr..
Dunn secured the passage of two bills
at the last session of the legislature
that pave the way to an expenditure
OF 81 200,000 a year by the state. The
Virginian would have Uncle Sam
spend S20,000,00O year for five years
in aiding the various localities to i'm
prove post roads and rural delivery
routes.
They agree as to the urgent impor-
lance of action to the greatness and
wealth of this country in everything
excepting roads. Our wealth is
greater than that of any other nation.
We are supreme in finance and fore
most in the worlds commerce. We
surpass in the money expended for
primary and general education, and
in the mileage of railroads, navigable
rivers and improved harbors. Yet
we are behind all other great nations
in the matter of public highways.
The condition of nine-tenths of our
roads is disgrace to US.
While both gentlemen seek results,
the Minnesotan has the better plan.
Uncle Sam has the constitutional
authority to establish post roads, and
under that undoubtedly might expend
money on highways. But good roads
are so very near to being local i'm
provements that it seems likely that
the best results would be accomplished
by arousing the states to do the work.
# the government once undertakes to
construct good roads there is almost
certain to be waste, if experience is a
criterion. Every representative and
senator will feel called upon to get
some of the appropriation for his
district. A good roads program on
the part of Uncle Sam would be quite
likely to have "pork barrel" features
in spite of the best that conscientious
engineers might do. let US have
good roads, but not necessarily at
government expense.-St Paul Dis
patch.

Good Roads and the Nation.

Senator Swanson of Virginia has
introduced in the senate a bill pro-
viding annual appropriations of
$40, 900, 600 for five years to be used in
improving the post roads and rural
routes OF the country. He explained
that his bill would open up million
miles of road to government aid, and
that his plan would go far toward re-
deeming the country from the igno-
miny of having the poorest roads in
all the civilized world.
Good roads mean so much to the
producer and the consumer that there
is room in the work of getting them
for everybody; and everybody from
the nation down to the state, from the
state down to the county and from the
county down to the township, ought
to join in that work.
If cooperation of that kind could
be established, it wouldn't be long
before the country that now has to
admit with shame that it has the
poorest roads in the world would be
able to boast that it has the best.
And every dollar wisely spent in
good roads will return enormous divi-
dends to be divided between the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
Slowly, it is true, but nevertheless
truly, the states are awakening to the
need that they enter on the work of
road-making on large scale. Min
nesota, which has been distributing
driblets of state aid for years without
making noticeable impression on the
situation. has lately awakened, and
the people at the next election will
vote on an amendment to the constitu-
tion authorizing a state road tax of l
mill year. In the meantime, under
the Dunn bill, it has provided a CON-
prehenisve system of state aid and
state supervision which needs only
more liberal allowance of funds to
make it of enormous value.
The government is heartily welcome
to participate in the vitality i'm
portant work. Senator Swanson's
bill should be made the basis for an
earnest consideration of the subject
on the part of congress.-0uluth

THE CROP OUTLOOK
Indications Point to a Good Average
Crop of All the Staple Prod
uCts of the Farm.
Tame Hay Will Be Light in Places
But There Will Be No Deartf
of the Wild Variety.

In Mile Laos and adjacent parts of
adjoining counties the crop outlook
on the whole is good This week rye
will be all harvested, and although it
ripened fast owing to the extreme
warm weather the yield promises to be
up to the average.
A larger acreage was sown to wheat
this year than usual and there are
many fine wheat fields in this vicinity.
The heads appear to be we'll filed.
In the heavy clay soil wheat looks
remarkably thrifty and there is every
Indication of a good crop. On the
sandy soil the stand is somewhat thin
and stunted, but there is very little
wheat sown on light soil in this vici-
nifty.
Rust has affected some of the oat
fields, but there is every prospect of a
good average yield, especially SO on
the heavier soil along the river bot
tom and in the timber land north of
the village.
Timothy and clover will be a light
crop, although there are many fine
fields on the clay soil. The natural
meadows promise an abundant yield
of wild hay. The severe drouth of
last season was hard on timothy and
clover. The tame hay crop will hard
ly be up to the average. Wild hay
will be fairly good. If the grass is
all cut and saved there will be no
dearth of hay in Mile Laos and
adjoining counties, but there will be
little or none for shipping purposes.
Corn and potatoes, the two staple
crops, never looked better at this
season of the year. In the country
tributary to Princeton there is every
reason TO believe that an immense
crop Of potatoes will be harvested.
The drouth has seriously affected the
potato crops in the middle states and
the indications are that Minnesota
spuds will command good prices this
year.
The writer has been over consider
able territory in Mile Laos, Isanti
Sherburne and Benton counties dur
ing the past ten days and has no hest
tation in saying that on the whole the
crop outlook is good-there will be no
bumper crops but there will be a good
average yield.

Must File Partners Names

In order to have legal standing in
the state courts after July Is each
firm, co-partnership and corporation
must file with the clerk of the district
court of every county in which it does
business the names of all "silent''
and "active" partners. The attention
of bushes men all over the state has
been called to chapter I'll, house file
No. 1865, laws of 1911, which provides
for this. The act was approved April
10 and will 60 into effect July Is.

Mrs. j. T. ID. Sadley Sustains In iuries.

Mrs. J. T. D. Sadley, while descend
ing the stairs of the cellar at her home
on Sunday morning, slipped and fell
to the bottom. Her neck and shout
ders were bruised and she sustained
severe shock from the conclusion.
Medical aid was summoned and in the
meantime Mrs. Sadley was placed in
bed, where she still remains, but we
are pleased to state that she is rapid
ly improving and there is every prob
ability that she will be convalescent
in a few DAYS.

Will Make an Exhibit Next Year.

At the meeting of the county COM
missioners on Tuesday the matter of
Mile Laos county having an exhibit
at the state fair this fall was
thoroughly discussed in all it's bear
ings. The conclusion arrived at was
that it was rather late in the day to
attempt to make an exhibit this year.
1t requires time and money to get up
an exhibit that would be a credit to
the county, and better not attempt it
than make poor exhibit. The CON-
missloners we're unanimously of the
opinion, however, that Mile Laos
county should make an exhibit next
year and that arrangements should be

No Space for DoggereI,

The U o n is in receipt of a
string of sentimental jingles from
Kobo, Japan, with request that they
be published. Jay P. Herdlicka,
nephew of J. G. Herdliska Of this
village, a seaman on the cruiser New
Orleans, is the composer of the
rhymes and offers to furnish more.
For various reasons we are compelled
to decline the contribution. During
the past year over a hundred such
"poems" have been consigned to the
big basket near our desk which con-
stant]y yearns for that sort of stuff.

Thousandsof honest men have done that.
I am proud that did these things. If
it il against me that did them, pre-.
