Some Mile Laos County Potatoes.

Some Mile Laos County Potatoes.
Other localities may boast of their
fine potatoes but Mile Laos county
easily leads them all-the tubers
raised in this county are unbeatable,
and Princeton still maintains it's
position as the greatest primary po-
ztato market in Minnesota. --~--~-----
That the*north end of Mile Laos
cot'nty is in the potato belt is : evil
denced by this item from the Wah-
kon Enterprise:
~. o. Foster is we'll pleased with
the result of his potato culture this
year on his farm: the east half of
northwest quarter, 29-42-25. He had
plot measuring 40 square rods
planted to Early Rose potatoes, and
the yield was 14l16 bushels. This is
at the rate of 433. 3436 bushels per
acre. He brought one potato to- the
editor that served for three meals
for our family of three. 1t weighed
over three pounds
And this from the Foreston Inde-
pendent proves that central Mile
Laos county raises some potatoes,
too:
''Gust Stark, one of the prominent
and substantial farmers residing
south of this village and whose adj
dress is Foreston, Rt. l, has four po-
tatoes that measure 81 inches in
length and weigh pounds 4 ounces.
From ~ acres he has produced 1,l63
bushels of the finest potatoes ever
raised.''

The Catholic Fair and Supper.


If anyone imagines there is a
semblance of religious bigotry in
Princeton he should have attended
the supper and fair given by the
Catholic ladies of St. Edwards
church at Aliens hall last Saturday
evening, and there he would have
witnessed scores of Methodists, Con-
gregationalists, Episcopalians and
Lutherans, and men and women who
affiliated with no church, sitting
side by side with their Catholic
neighbors at tables that fairly
groaned under the load of good
things for the inner man, laughing
and joking with each other and hav-
ing a genuine good time. The supper
was one of the best ever given on a
like occasion in this village. The
spacious hall was crowded with a
jolly throng of people for hours, and
the tables were set half-a-d0zen
times. The booths, where beauti-
full specimens of ladies' handiwork
were on sale, were also literally
patronized.
One of the busiest and happiest
individuals in the hall was genial
Father Willenbrink; he was here,
there and everywhere with a smile
and pleasant word for everybody.
The Catholic ladies we're untiring
in their efforts to serve and please
all, and right we'll they succeeded.
The valuable Holstein- Fresian calf,
so generously donated by Mr.. William
F. Schilling of Mortified, was pur-
chased by Mrs. James Dugan of Bald
win for 800.
The fair and supper was really an
enjoyable affair and the Catholic
ladies realized handsome sum.

VICTIMS OF HUNTERS
Big Game Hunting Season Results
in the Death of Seven, Men ~
=
Up to This Time.
Very Evident That Not Enough Cau-
ton is Exercised by Several
of the Sportsmen.

While the number of accidents
during the big game hunting season
has been materially reduced in late
years, still it is very evident that
altogether too many careless indi-
viduals HE themselves to the woods
at this time of the year. This season
seven men have lost their lives at
the hands of sportsmen in search of
game. It is possible that some &C
cidents are unavoidable, but in
numerous instances criminal negli-
gence is the reason for fatalities.
Hunters should begin to realize that
no shot should be fired until they are
positive that that which they aim at
is not man. If a few of those re-
sponsible for fatalities, where it is
evident that the hunter did not use
prudent care, were convicted of
manslaug liter, it is entirely probable
that the number of accidents would
be decreased to the minimum.
Besides those killed in the north
woods six others have been wounded.
Following is the list:
KILLED.
Peter St. Mary, Duluth, mistaken
for deer and shot Nov. II.
r. G. Smith, homesteader, Balkan
township, struck by bullet while

A Successful MEETING.

After a profitable two days. ses.
sion the Minnesota Good Roads Fed
Grafton convention, which was held
at the st. Paul hotel, st. Paul, ad-
journed Tuesday evening. Promi-

dressed the convention. 1t is hoped
that the meeting will be productive
of much good. President M. J. Dow

praise for the admirable manner in
which the convention was conducted,

A telegram to the editor from.
Washington Monday evening con-
veyed the pleasing information that
DR.. Henry G. Cooney of this place
had been admitted to fellowship in
the American College of Surgeons.
The American College of Surgeons is
rather an exclusive organization, and
no one is admitted to fellowship
unless he stands high in his pro-
fession, and then only after. the
most careful inquiry on the part of
the Board of Regents of the society.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1914-11-19

The people of Princeton and
vicinity have for years known of DR..
Cooney's skill as a surgeon. He has
performed hundreds of major opera
tions, many of an extremely delicate
and difficult character, and has met
with phenomenal success. His fame
as a successful surgeon is state wide:
and today he ranks with the head
men of his profession in this state.
Princeton is proud OF DR.. Cooney
and the eminence he has attained
in his profession.

The first step in improving the
roads of community is to secure
the election or the appointment of
the right kind of road superinten-
dent. Therefore, the people must
be educated along this line. Fl
The small town which paves a
block year will not strain the purse
of the tax payer and will be building
for the future. Every town expects
to pave some time but right now is
the time to begin.
Working prisoners on highways is
not only beneficial to the prisoners,
but is profitable to the state and
county in the way of securing i'm
proved roads at a lower cost than
they can otherwise be built.
Some tight-wads who live in the
cities and villages, are kicking about
paying state or county road tax.
Don't they know that farmers must
have roads to get to town, and don't
they realize that the average city
and village could not exist but fol-
the farmers who support them.
In Missouri, thousands of men re-
spond to the Call of Governor Major
for state road work days, and it is
estimated that two million dollars
worth of road work was done in two
days. The men worked and the
women supplied the fried chicken,
cakes, iced tea and lemonade.
Chippewa Treaty to be Enforced.
All the saloons in the territory
known as the ''Indian country"
must close on or before Monday,
November 80, in accordance with a
decision recently handed down by
the United States supreme court.
The order has been given out and no
exceptions will be made.
Ever since the treaty of 1855 was
''discovered' some years ago, the
liquor dealers in the territory
affected have endeavored to have it
annuled, but without success.
About SO towns are affected and it
is estimated that 200 saloons will be
closed by this order. Among the
cities and villages included in the
'dry" territory are: Bemidji, Brain
erd, Cass Lake, Chisholm, Big Falls,
Coleraine. Detroit, Frazee, Grand
Rapids. Hibbing, Park Rapids,
Walker, Perham, Pillager, Calumet,
Solway, Turtle River, Ten Strike,
Big Fork. Hibbing is the largest
city in the territory. In Bemidji
alone 81 saloons will be forced to
close their doors.

TAKE A TIP FROM US.

Social economists, in the efforts 70
find the cause OF high cost of living,
are giving more and more attention
to the expense of distribution. II is
being realized. that our machinery for
delivering the products OF the farm
and the mill to the consumer is very
crude and bungl!ng On great
many articles the price the consumer
pays Is multiplied two or three or
more times from the value at the farm
or at the faetnrv !. - ~ ~ ~ = = sf5 5

CIRCULATING LIBRARIES.

Recognizing the difficulty of getting
books out into tile outlying rural
country. Representative Gillett has in.
tfoduced bill in congress permittlne
public libraries TO send books through
the mails for cent a pound This
would connect lonely farm house
With the wide world.
An energetic worker at Hagers-
town, Md, delivered the past year Is
600 books about that hiIly country by
automobile. But in spite OF the Ii
tFary extension work carried On IN
many states, II remains true tat Tie
isolated farm horne makes little use
OF the library.
The ideal thing would be an auto
mobilelibrary wagon for every COUNTY
supplying books from town or c1un-
ty library into the loneliest homes
In the long run. the popular diffusion
of education titus obtained would be
cheap at any price -
In the meantime the cheap distribu-
ticn of library books through the pest
Office would fill many. gaps
Another way TO get reading ma
terial to the people is to make the
school the community center Have
regular nights for meetings when tue
brightest of songs and the liye,,cst
of band music could be turnde ont on
a good phonograph,. and whom the par
