The Cleo Question

Oleomargarine, the kind that looks
like butter, is to be the basis of an
important lawsuit brought by the
state of Minnesota. The attorney
general has been requested By the
state dairy and food commission to
prosecute Swift & Co. for selling, in
Mankato, oleomargarine which looks
like butter. The company admits the
sales, but says that yellow is the
natural color of the product. The
state law prohibits the sale of oleo-
margarine resembling" butter in

Clothing House Change. Hands.


Kopp & Bartholomew have sold
their stock in trade, with the good
will, to Adna Orion, and William
Kaliher. Mr.. Orion was for some
time bead clerk for the firm, and
is an energetic young man who we'll
understands the business.
Kopp & Bartholomew opened a
clothing and gents furnishing store
in the Fryhling building, Princeton,
five years ago and later moved into
the Townsend block. Their increas-
ing business made this move neces-
sary. BY push and strict attention to
business they worked up a trade
which proved remunerative, and the
concern is one of the best and most
reliable in the northwest.
Mr.. Kopp has for several months
been agent for the McKibbin/ Hat
company for the state of Nebraska
and will continue to hold that posi-
ton, while Mr.. Bartholomew will
represent the Roberts Wicks whole
sale clothing house in the state of
Minnesota and the Dakotas. Mr..
Kopp's headquarters will be- at

wishes both gentlemen success.

known in Princeton and vicinity

in Blue Hill. Both of them are
highly regarded in this community,

with the success they so richly merit.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
Will be Held at Brands Opera House
on Friday and Saturday, jan
uary 26th and 18th.
Experts in Dairying, Cattle Raising
and Farming in General Will
Address the r1eetings.

On Friday and Saturday, January
rs and q, farmers institute will be
held at Brands opera house in this
village. Almost every farmer knows
we'll that an institute of this nature is
invariably fruitful of results-that
many practical points may be
gathered from the lecturers, who are
men of experience and not mere
theorists. So it would be we'll for
farmers, their wives and children to
attend these instructive meetings..
F. B. McLeran of Wrenshall will be
in charge of the institute. Mr.. Nc
Leran is prominent farmer-a man
who has made success of dairying,
general farming and fruit growing.
He has also made a thorough study of
land clearing, which will be one of the
subjects upon which he will discourse.
L. D. Staples of St. Cloud will handle
the subjects of pork production, poul-
try raising and good roads. Mr..
Staples is another of the practical
farmers of the state and is considered
an expert on good roads. He will
give the farmers a history of his ex-
perience in building and caring for
roads. Frank Gibbs of Merriam
Park will talk on vegetable produce
ton. Mr.. Gibbs has been growing
vegetables for the market many years
and has nude the business pay.
The farmers institute brings to the
assistance of our local farmer, in the
work OF improving crop production
and lettering the life of the farm
stead, all the specialized learning OF
the experts at the school of agricul-
ture. all the results of the work done
at the state experimental station, and
all the information gathered from
wide observation and comparison OF
processes on many farms. The op-
portunities of the institute are offered
at the season of the year when it - is
most easily practicable for farmers to
avail themselves thereof, and few are
they who can afford to lose them by q
failure to attend the meetings.
The new institute annual, which
treats largely of meat production, will
be distributed free.

What Say You, Gentlemen?

Does Mile Laos county wish to re-
main as one of the counties of the
Northern Minnesota Development as
ISOLATION? Does Mile Laos county
wish to put forth special effort to
secure new settlers to assist in OPEN
ing up and developing the resources
of the county? If these queries are
answered in the affirmative, and they
ought to be, then Mile Laos county
should, without delay, pay it's
membership fee and its small proper
tiOnate share for the maintenance of
the immigration commission bureau
headquarters established at 80 South
Third street, Minneapolis.
The membership fee is $500, and
the amount assessed against the
county for the maintenance of the
bureau in Minneapolis is only $500,
of which the First National Bank of
Princeton and the First National
Bank of Milaca have already con-
tributed $1,000 each; that leaves $50. 90
to be raised. Will not the other
banks and the real estate men of the
county contribute that amount?
The headquarters at Minneapolis,
where samples of the products of the
county can be exhibited, cannot help
but be of benefit to the county, and
will undoubtedly be the means of
getting many new families to locate in
the county. The southern townships
of the county are already pretty we'll
settled, it is the northern and central
townships that contain large areas of
vacant land. Owners of vacant lands
should certainly be willing to con-
tribute.

been designated as the party to re-
ceive subscriptions and products of
the county for exhibition at the
bureau headquarters in Minneapol

been chosen.) We would like to hear
without delay from all who are inter-

shall make. We do not propose to

enough to contribute the $4,000, we'll

18th of January before reporting to
the secretary of the bureau. If the
amount is not subscribed by that time
we shall notify the secretary that

will not contribute the amount that
has been assessed against it for the

MIR. Simpsons Ambition.

In an exceedingly interesting con-
tributiOn to the political literature OF
Minnesota, Attorney General Simpson
offers novel view of his idea of the
way in which governors of the state
are selected and elected. General
Simpson, it appears, had an ambition
to be governor, harboring ideas of
his special fitness for the prosecution
of numerous reforms and entertaining
also an opinion that Governor Eber-
hart did not measure up to the full re-
quirements of the position. Having
convinced himself of the demand for
his services, the general put his plan
into execution.
Usually candidate for the nomi-
nation for governor or other high
Office takes his case to the voters,
submitting to them the question
whether they share in his estimate of
his qualifications for the position.
General Simpson did not follow the
usual custom. Instead he took his
case to Ed Smith, chairman of the re-
publican state central committee, and
modestly requested Mr.. Smith to go
to Governor Eberhart and tell him
that he would not do and advise, him
to get out of the way and let the nomi-
nation 60 to Mr.. Simpson. This Mr..
Smith refused to do although he must
have been keenly appreciative of the
tribute General Simpson paid him in
giving him credit for power and abili-
ty to make and unmake governors
without reference to the wishes of the
candidates or the voters. Smiths re-
fusal settled it for General Simpson,
who promptly decided to retire to
private life.
General Simpson, on his own mo-
ton, seems to have succeeded in re-
moving himself from the list of guber-
Material possibilities and at time
when the field was apparently open for
those who want to take advantage of
the opposition in the republican ranks
to the denomination of Governor
Eberhart. That field has recently
been narrowed by Sam Y. Gordcn's
self-elimination from the list of entries
and General Simpsons withdrawal
still further reduces the number of
possibilities. Neither Mr. Gordon
nor General Simpson can blame any
body but themselves for the situation,
unless they can both agree to place
the blame on Ed Smith.-St. Paul

The South Harbor Examine tion.

The South Harbor Examination. az
The deputy examiner who made ex-
animation of the books and records
OF the town of South Harbor, this
county, has filed his report with Pub
lie Examiner Fritz. The report is
quite lengthy. The deputy says,
"The balance of the town treasurer.
as shown by his check book, Novem-
Der II, 1911, S624.37, agrees with my
statement. The books show balance
of S630.30." Several slight discrep-
ancies are referred to, but here is the
only really important recommenda-
ton made by the deputy who CON
Quoted the investigation: "I would
respectfully call attention to section
688 revised laws 1905. To schedule
No. l are attached orders showing
illegal payments amounting to $40. O9,
which should be returned to the town
treasurer by parties to whom paid. y
The deputy refers TO orders drawn
in favor of town officers in violation
OF the law. Here is the section the
deputy refers to and quotes: 'sSec-
tion 6S8. Officers Contracts No

Indirectly interested in, any contract
