get them.
Big Burlcy sales.
The hrst week OF the New Year
witnessed the largest sales OF Burley
goods that Richmond has ever known
In SO short time. Very nearly
100000 pounds OF the Burley stun was

II is to its credit that it pulled off q
big Burley sale amounting to 100000

The total sales of leaf for the pas;
week Sere pretty close to round

good for midwinter wee.:. The cold

Anti tuberculosis Crusade.

A. r. Blakey, field secretary of the
Minnesota Association for the Pre-
vention and Relief of tuberculosis,
was here on Monday in the interest
OF the work Of the society. From
figures supplied by him it is shown
that in 1911 there were more than
2,4O0 deaths from tuberculosis in
Minnesota. A large proportion OF
these persons died while in the ac-
tive period Of life at time when
they could least be spared, judged
both from the humani tartan and &c.
onomic point of view.
The fact, however, which is arous-
ing people to action is that the
death rate from tuberculosis is not
declining in this state From year
to year there has practically been
the same number of deaths, which
means that before a person dies he
communicates the disease to at least
one other person. y
The disease is a preventable one
and the best known method to pre-
vent it is the establishment of a
sufficient number of sanitariums.
To effect this end the various state
organizations interested in the cru
SADIE against the dread disease will
appeal to the legislature at the forth
coming session. *y

AGGREGATE S'1l.1..2,55O.
That is the. Amount Expended in
Princeton During Year 1912 for
Building Improvements.
Surrounding Country is Keeping Pace
With the Village in the HAT
ter of improvements.

Princeton is village of about 1000
Inhabitants. Not very large
place, to be sure, but one of the best
business towns of it's size in the
Northwest. No small town can
boast of better mercantile establish
ments or of handsomer residences.
There is one thing lacking-a first
class hotel. We hope that want
will be supplied during the year 1913.
There is no better, opening anywhere
in the state for a neat. frst-class
hotel than right here in Princeton.
Princeton is a good cash market
town for the sale of everything the
farmer has to sell. Live stock, poul-
try and all kinds of farmers prod
uce finds ready sale and. commands
the highest market prices. 20
Princeton is also a good place to
trade. There is brisk competition
in all lines of business and the mer-
chants and dealers are Obliged to
carry large stocks and content them
selves with reasonable profits
But it is as potato market that
Princeton excels. 1t is the largest
primary potato market in the North
west; over 1,000,O 900 bushels of pota-
toes are marketed here annually, and
the large number of buyers and the
sharp rivalry between them guaran-
tees the seller top notch prices.
Princeton is we'll situated, on the
G. N. railroad, only so miles from
the Twin Cities and 119 from Du-
luth, the great commercial and
manufacturing centers Of the state.
Princeton never has had Eboom, =
but. it haszmore than held it's own in
population, and there is a noticeable
improvement in it's business houses
and residences in recent years. The
building improvements for the year
1912, conservatively estimated, will
aggregate over SIP, 5O0--not a bad
showing for village Of 1000. The
most important of these improves
ments are the beautiful new armory
and the most modern, up-to- date
starch factory in the state: Several
neat new residences that would be a
:credit to much larger place were
also erected this year.
The country adjacent to Princeton
has kept pace with the village and
there is. a. marked improvement. in
farm houses and barns in regent
years. Within a radius Of four or
five, miles of Princeton there are
many imposing farm houses, as good
as can be found anywhere in the
state, and in fact neat modern farm
houses and comfortable and commo-
dious barns greet the vision every
where throug hout southern and GEN.
trail Mile Laos county, and the same
is true of the adjoining towns in
Sherburne, Isanti and Benton coun-
ties. ::~>'9*.:
With good system of highways
this section of the state is bound to
continue to prosper. IS

FarmerS Alert to the Situation.

Though The quantity of feed on
our farms is unusually great this
year, farmers are not inclined to sell
and the price accordingly holds up
fairly we'll. Farmers have discovered
a more profitable way of disposing of
their corn than bringing it to mar.
ket. Cattle raising and dairying
have 3O-cent corn beat a mile. This
feature has taken mighty spurt
forward lately, but even yet there
are few farmers hereabouts who
don't wish they had a few more COWS
to convert into monthly cream
