Forty-Eighth Wedding Anniversary.


Those good old people and re-
spected citizens, Mr.. and Mrs. E.
A. Ross, celebrated their forty
eighth wedding anniversary on New
Years day. Something like 30
members of the family, including
sons, daughters and grandchildren,
were present and Mr.. and Mrs. Ross
were very happy in the knowledge
that they were so honored. A boun-
teous dinner and supper were served
and the dining room was virtually
bower of pretty floral decorations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross have lived in
Princeton As years. They we're
married in Bristol, Maine, in 1866
Mrs. Ross maiden name being Mary
A. Prentice-and came to Princeton
in 1869, where they still reside.
1t is with deep regret we are
called upon to state that both Mr..
and Mrs. Ross are at this time not in
the best of health, but we sincerely
hope that they may recover and live
to celebrate many another wedding
anniversary.

Recommendations of School Inspector

Recommendations of School Inspector.
While here inspecting the high
school Prof. Alton was called into
consultation by a committee of the
board of education in reference to
providing room for the introduction
of industrial branches. Every room
in the high school building is now
,oyercrowded and it is impossible to
install the additional branches with
out the necessary space. - -......s !.
Regarding this condition Professor
Alton advised that no addition be
made to the building in the shape
of wings, as patchwork of this sort
has invariably proved unsatisfactory
in later years. He therefore recon-
mended that, as soon as the board
of education found the district in a
position to so do, new high school
building be erected and the present
structure used for the grades. In
Mr.. Aiton's opinion a building
costing less than s30,OOO would be in
adequate for the purposes desired.
He also recommended that, in case
such a building were erected, it

Calamity Howlers on the Corner.

already-the tariff and the currency
laws appear tn be working back
wards. There is millions NV people
out of work in the country and I
see the soup kitchen of Cleveland S

day upon this corner and I notice a
look of sadness upon every man. s

will soon be upon him if it has not
already gripped him by the throat.
Black Mack-Every time I come
down teown an stand on ther corner
I notice the same thing-people hev
a worried look on their faces; they
seem to be unaisy in their minds
they Evidently fear the worst that is
to come. A man might stand on
the corner a month and no one would
come along and offer him three
dollars a day to cut wood or do other
laboreous work. I say, blast the
time when Wilson and his horde of
rascals went into Office.
Red Mack-I've been listening to
the pheelosophy of you fellers and I
know there is only one remedy for
existing conditions, only one thing
that will drive away hard times and
give to the laboring man plenty of
aisy work at reasonably fair wages,
say five dollars a day for seven
hours labor, -that is, to vote the
socialist ticket.

Good Advice as to Lighting.

Why is the use of glasses SO fre-
quent at the present time, as COM
pared with only few years ago?
Perhaps the chief cause is the igno-
rant or careless adjustment Of the
light to the reading or working
position: This is particularly true
in the large modern Office, where
the chief thought in the arrange
ment Of the desks: for clerks and
stenographers. is economy in floor
space. Proper illumination of this
work is Of secondary Importance.
Not every desk can be placed by a
window, and usually windows will
be found only on one side of room,
or at the end, so that ample pro-

should be thoroughly screened so
that they cannot shine into any
body's eyes. They should be so
placed that there; is no shadow of

Too strong light is just as trying
to the eyes as too weak an illumi-
nation. A north light is the best,
being soft and steady. All desks
near windows should be so placed so
that the light comes from the left
side. The old rule given for reading
and Writing, that the light should
come obliquely over the left shoulder,

swindlers Get s12o, 100000.

The loss of 1929, 900, 900 in a
period of two years by the un-
suspecting public through swindling
operations carried on by the use of
the United States mails has stirred
the postal authorities to drastic
campaign against fraudulent schem-
ers. Wholesale use of the govern
ment's right to deny the mailing
privilege to persons or firms whose
operations SAVIOR of 'sget-rich-quick"
schemes, such as paper railroad,
wildcat mining and other frauds, is
the weapon to be employed. ..
An effort to stop this swindling by
reliance upon criminal courts has
proved ineffective, according to W.
H. Lamar, assistant attorney gen.
eral for the postoffice department..
''Criminal proceedings are neces-
sarily slow,' his report says, ''and
by means of appeals and other
methods the execution of sentence is
deferred for long periods, during
which the concerns and individuals
engaged in such fraudulent business
continue to reap a harvest through
their fraudulent enterprises.
Mr.. Lamar points out that fraud

MARKET IS INACTIVE
Bad Roads in the Sandy Sections Are
Partially Responsible for Light
Receipts by Buyers.
Secretary of Agriculture Issues Or.
ders Regulating Importation
of Foreign Potatoes.

The potato market, so far as re-
ceipts are concerned, is inactive, the
bad condition of the roads, especially
in the sandy sections, being partially
responsible for the failure of growers
to haul; but the principal reason
seems to be that farmers are await
ing an advance in quotations, which
may or may not materialiZe.
A number of cars of potatoes have
been shipped from this place during
the week, but the demand from out
side points is not great. However,
an improvement along this line is
expected within short time.
The prevailing prices, although
fairly good, are below those quoted
by the Union last week.

Value of the Skunk.

Under the caption, ''The Value of
the Skunk to Agricultural bull
letin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture contains the
following:
The skunk, which is represented
throughout the country by number
of varieties, genera, and Species, is
an animal of great economic impor-
lance. Its food consists very largely
of insects, mainly of those species
which are very destructive to garden
and forage crops. Field observa-
tions and laboratory examination
demonstrate that they destroy i'm
mense numbers of white grubs, grass
hoppers, crickets, cutworms, hornets,
wasps and other noxious forms. The
alarming increase of. the white grub
in some localities is. largely due to
the determination of this valuable
animal. Il s.
1t is matter of common observa-
tion where white grubs are particu-
larly abundant in cornfields to note
little round holes burrowed in the
ground about hills of corn. These
are made by skunks in their search
during the night for these 5grubs.
During the recent outbreak of grass
hoppers in Kansas it has been deter
mined that in many cases large
proportion of the food of skunks con-
sisted of these grasshoppers.

operative creamery-whether share
holders or not-are being presented
with checks which amount to one
and half cents per pound for all
butterfat taken by them to the
creamery during the year. This is,
of course, being paid only to those
patrons who have stood by the
creamery-those who have marketed
all the cream they had to sell dur
ing the year at this place. Mr..
Warner tells us that the amount to
be paid out in these dividends in
addition to the 10 per cent paid
shareholders will aggregate So, 500.
This should certainly be an in
ducement for the farmers to take
their cream to the Princeton Co.
operative creamery, for, in addition
to the market price paid them fol-
butterfat at the time of delivery,
they now gather in this extra re-
muneratiOn.

Order Regulating Potato Importations.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has issued, in the form of an official
decision, exacting regulations re-
stricting the importation of foreign
potatoes into the United States in
order to guard against potato
diseases.
Propositions requiring importers
to notify the department of all ship
ments from countries not at present
under the absolute quarantine ban,
and the enforcement of a rigid in
spection upon entry by the depart
ment's agents, are contained in the
order.
The regulations also provide for
the lifting, under certain conditions,
of the quarantine now enforced
against most of the potato growing
sections of the world. Upon the
tation Of satisfactory evidence
to the secretary of agriculture that
country is free from injurious po-
tato diseases and insect pests, pota-
toes will be admitted from that
country in accordance with the reg
ulations governing the importations
from countries not now quarantined
against. Is,
The countries now barred from ex-
porting potatoes are: Newfound-
land, the islands of ST. Pierre and
Miquelin, Great Britain, including
England: Scotland, Wales and Ire
land, the nations of continental
Europe and the dominion of Canada.
Department officials are confident
that some of these countries may in
the near future be permitted to send
potatoes to the United States if they
adhere strictly to the departments
rules. !~.'
The department. warns American
potato growers against the use of
secondhand British or European
sacks, unless they have been thor
oughly sterilized.
''It appears, the order says,
that there is considerable trade
in secondhand sacks between dealers
located chiefly at the A t]antic ports
of entry and potato growers of the
eastern states. In some instances
entire shipments from the great 20
tato districts of Maine to New York
city have been made in foreign
secondhand sacks. The germs of
the diseases undoubtedly are carried
in the sacks in which potatoes have
been imported from Europe"
