a meeting Of the directors of the

ETY. was held at the secretary's office
Tuesday afternoon. Those present
were: Andrew Bryson, president:
Frank Goulding, vice president: c.,

Schmidt, Princeton town; and S. S.
Peterson, J. J. Skahen and r. G.
Dunn of Princeton village.
The affairs of the society were
discussed, bills to the amount of
$1,000 were audited and allowed,
provision was made to secure tenn
porary loan until the state appropri-
alton becomes available, and by
unanimous vote 800 was appropriate
ed to the secretary, as a partial COM
pensation for his services to the soci-
ETY. during the past five years. If
the finances of the society permitted
larger compensation would have
been willingly voted the secretary,
for certainly he has performed the
arduous duties imposed upon him in
highly satisfactory manner.
Each and every member present
expressed himself as pleased with
this years fair and with the perma-
nent improvements that have been
made on the grounds, and all were
determined on making the 1913 fair
a record-breaker.
Next year the premium list will be
issued early in the spring and, now
that the buildings are all completed,
larger premiums will be offered than
ever before and the list of attrac-
lions will also surpass anything that
has ever before been offered. There
will not be a vacant stall in any of
the barns or a square foot of ~unoc-
cupied space in any of the buildings
next year.
The annual meeting Of the society
will be held on Tuesday, December
3, at the secretary's office, and every
officer and director is expected to be
present. At that time the annual
report must be made out and for
Warded to the state auditor, also a
copy filed with the register of deeds
The report will show the exact
financial condition of the society.
By the way, not dollar of the state
appropriation can be paid out for any
purpose save for premiums to exhib-
ltors-nOt one cent can be paid for
sports or amusements. The sports
and amusements must be cared for
from the gate receipts.
With any sort Of decent luck the
society will, inside of two years, be
completely out of debt and own it's
grounds and buildings, worth sl2. =
900. Then the premiums can be in
creased 100 per cent and the attrac-
tions in a like ratio.

Vote for One-Mill Road Tax.

One of the important constitution
al amendments to come up for con-
sideration Of the voters at the No.
Vember election is the Dunn one-mill
road tax. If this measure meets
with the peoples approval and be-
comes the law of the state, it will
prove the best thing added to our
constitution in generation. We
have no hesitancy in urging the vot-
ers to favor the one-mill road amend
ment.-Jordan Independent.

Hugh L. Halbert says the move
ment for the third ticket is for the
purpose of laying the foundation for
the future of the progressive party.
Mr.. Halbert need not worry about
the future of a party that has no
present except in the minds of few
politically ''busted'' politicians, and
as to the future, we'll, it is like the
mule, without pride of ancestry or
hope of posterity. It has no future

Present Road System is Wrong.
The great defect in our road system
which permits the working out of
the road taxes instead Of paying for
and having regular organized force
for taking care of the roads, is well
illustrated at the present time. The
state and county have expended
thousands of dollars in making some
excellent roads,: but roads will not
stay in shape when neglected, and
under the system which permits
people to work their road taxes when
ever they can most conveniently does
not make it, possible to maintain
good roads even when they are built.
Under the present system no road
work is ever done after having
begins, and as result when the
roads get worn and holes develop
which are worse and worse as the
season progresses the cost of putting
them in shape again the next year is
ten times as much as it would be
if attended to in time. Fergus Falls
