GOOD ROADS DAY
Will Be Observed In a Fitting Man.
ner by the Public. Spirited
Citizens of Princeton.
One-FOurth of q Tile of Road Will Be
Turnpiked and Rock-Surfaced
on June Seventeenth.

Three weeks from next Tuesday,
June II, is Good Roads day and it
will be fttingly observed in this
village by turnpiking and rock-sur-
facing a stretch of one-quarter of a
mile of the road leading from the
eastern approach of the East Branch
bridge to the village limits at the
foot of the Coates hill, to connect
with the three-quarters mile stretch
of rock-surfaced road constructed
two years ago. This is the neck of
the most important highway leading
into Princeton and in moist weather
it is generally in deplorable condi-
tion. There is no necessity to waste
words in urging the necessity for
this improvement.
The village council, at the request
of the publisher Of the Union and
several other citizens, met last even
ing and decided to secure 80 carloads
of crushed granite from ST. Cloud,
turnpike the piece of road in ques-
tion and make a lasting improvement
by rock-surfacing it to the depth of
six to eight inches Is feet wide. The
rock for the road will be ordered at
once and unloaded at the railroad
yards. On Good Roads day it is pro-
posed to have a hauling bee-every
owner of team in the village will
be expected to give the use of his
team for that day, and every able
bodied man who can WELD a shovel
is expected to be on hand or furnish
substitute. Let there be no hold
ing back. Let every man do his
duty. Make the first Good Roads
day memorable one in the history
of Princeton. Let all business ex-
cept the work of bodybuilding be
suspended on June II. Will not the
town Of Princeton fall in line and
complete the work of rock-surfacing
the same road from the -Mudgett
farm to the Holthus corner? The
rock can be secured by paying the
freight on the same.
! Let Princeton town and village
set an example for every town and
village in the county and state to
initiate. r. G. d. .

Princeton Versus Mora.

The Princeton first team opened
their season at the local fair grounds
last Sunday with the Mora team and
succeeded in handing them the short
end of a 10 to score. Princeton got
the jump on the visitors right in the
first round and pulled off one of the
best exhibitions Of ''hitting 'em
where they haint" ever seen at the
local ball lot.
Mora was retired scoreless in the
opening inning and it was up to
the locals. Bill Roos started the
ball arolling by hitting safe for one
base, and Smith followed up with a
smash down the third base foul line
just far enough in to be safe. Doane's
sacrifice advanced both runners one
notch and Art Roos scored them both
with another safe clout. Skahen
drove one to safe territory in center
and Roos came home. Moe got hit
with a pitched ball and Trunk drove
one through the short stop, Skahen
scoring on the play. Umbehocker
hit a fast grounder and was thrown
out at first, but Moe waltzed home
during the mix-up. Porter hit to
the infeld and Trunk scored and,
with two out, it was up to Bill Roos
to start the parade all over again.
Realizing that six scores were usually
enough to win a ball game, Bill took
pity on the visitors and retired the
hit-hungry Princetonians.
Mora was BANKED in the next
three innings, but Princeton kept
up their heavy hitting and, aided by
some bad wabbles by the Mora in.
field, succeeded in scoring another
run in the second round, two more in
the fourth, and the last one in the
fifth. Mora failed to score until the
fifth, when they finally got busy and
aided by a few misplays on the part
of the locals, garnered in two runs
They scored one more in the sixth
and picked off two more in the
eighth, but never at any time die
they get near enough to the local!

mate and trusted friend of J. J. Hill,

The Mares Are Here.

The young mares previously adver-
tised in the Union are here, and they
are certainly a bunch of beauties.
Lose no time if you are looking for
good animals, as they will go fast.
These young mares have been selec-
ted with great care and are the best
to be procured. They are sound in
every way and range in weight from
1900 to l, 400 pounds. Just the sort
of animals you want for farm or gen.
eral purpose work. Don't overlook
this opportunity to buy good sound
mares at reasonable prices. Terms,
cash or time.

The Whining TWo.bv-Fours.

1t is amusing to us to note the ever
lasting whining of the 2x4 politicians
about Ed Smith. The poor little
things don't seem to recognize man

difference between Ed Smith and
these would-be statesmen is that Ed
gets what he goes after, while they

The Difference in Class.

Some tourists were travelling in
Switzerland, and they went to buy
tickets for the coach ride up the
mountain. The American, of course,
bought tirst-class ticket, but he
noticed that all the rest got second
and third class and they all got in
the wagon with him. He asked the
driver, "What advantage is there in
paying for a frst-class ticket when
holders of second and third-cIass
tickets have precisely the same &C.
commodations?'' The driver said:
"You just wait while and you will
see.' So by and by they came to a
steep hill and the driver called out:
"First-class passengers will keep
their seats: second-class passengers
will get out and walk; third-c]ass
passengers will get out and push ~

still in the race, although there
has been no statement from him
recently. Secretary of State
Earle w. Hodges, more conscien-
tious than some other politicians
of the state, has announced that
he will not be a candidate for
governor at this time. He ad-
mits that he has the laudable
ambition to be governor, but
says that he has just entered up
on a contract with the people to
serve them for another two
years as Secretary of State, and
he considers that obligation par
amount to personal ambition.

tor in the situation, although it
is known that he is very serious
ly considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of entering the race. Should he
do so, he will be a strong man.

expend on 5O-mile stretch OF
good roads in some county or IN

Governor has been notified from

been allotted this sum as an in
centive to good road work in the
state, and all that is necessary
to procure it, for the people re-
siding along the road to be per-
manently improved, is to raise
$4,000 for the same purpose.
The selection of the road is up
to the Acting Governor, and ne
is now waiting to see which roa'

lamation will probably be issued
Wednesday by Acting Governor
Futrell, designating Friday, A
pril Is, as Fire Prevention Day,
and urging the people all over
the state to make it a general
clean up day. Acting Governor
Futrell is an advocate of the Fire
Prevention theory, and sees
only reduced insurance rates a
head for the property owners,
if they will exercise more care,
and thus prevent the great num-
Der of fires which are caused by
carelessness and permitting rub
bish to collect in places where
fire easily occurs. The proclaim
alton will be issued at the insti-
cation of the Trans-Mississippi
Commercial congress, which has
taken interest enough in the
matter to write every governor
in the United States, asking for
such action.

Mississippi to Go
Higher Than Last Year


Memphis, Tenn, April Is.
&c. Emery, local forecaster OF the
Weather Bureau, issued a bulle-
tin tonight predicting that the
MississippiRiver at memphis will
reach a stage Of As feet, posi-
bly, 46. The high water mark OF
last year, when several levees
collapsed along the central
stretches of the river, was 45.3
feet.
Previously Mr.. Emery had es-
timated that the high stage here
would be 44.5.
Tonight's estimate was made
after dispatches had been receiv-
ed reporting the river rising rap
idly at Cairo, a fall of two-tenths
of a foot at st. Louis, less than
had been expected and telling OF
a great volume of water coming
out of the Wabash river.
The Big Four levee north OF
fCairo broke at 6 o'clock last
might, flooding the big mill sec
stion of that city and entailing a
loss of S1,OOO,O00. The levee
about the city proper is in very
precarious condition.
