The Rines-Preus Contest.

Several more counties last week
reduced Mr.. Preus' apparent plural
ity and Mr. Rines has now less than
$50 votes to overcome. This week
the recount is in progress in Henne-
pin county. In one precinct in Min
neapolis Mr.. Rines gained 21., The
original tally sheet showed that he
had received l2l votes in this pre-
cinct, but the 81 had been erased.
1t was a deliberate attempt to swim
die Mr.. Rines out of 81 votes. Yet
there are some idiotic editors who
assert Mr.. Rines is not justified in
demanding and insisting upon a re-
count. He has made gains in every
county save one and it is our firm
belief that he will gain enough be.
fore half of the counties are gone
over to wipe out Preus' alleged
plurality. 1t is apparent that in
some counties a determined effort
was made to beat Rines by foul
means. On with the recount.

The Isanti County Fair.

September 16, II, Is and 10. The
dates do not conflict. The first day
of the Mile Laos fair really does not
count as it is simply a preparatory
day. We hope many of our people
will visit the Isanti fair. Let us
cultivate friendly feeling between
nelghborlng towns. By visiting
nefghboring fairs we can get infor-
nation that may be of value to all of
us. None of US know it all. Let US
exchange visits and ideas as we'll.
Benton, Kanabec and Isanti will all
have good fairs this year, but of
course, none of them will approach
the Mile Laos county fair.

West Branch Picnic.

Next Sunday on the O. H. Uglem
grounds will be held the annual
West Branch picnic. The picnic
will be given under the auspices of
the West Branch creamery and the
Long Siding Live Stock & Produce
Co., and all who desire are cordially
invited to attend.
A program of especial interest to
farmers has been arranged for the
day. One of the interesting features
will be the speeches by mem
bers of the State Dairymen's as.
ISOLATION and this part of the pro.
gram will prove both instructive
and entertaining to all who are in
terested in dairying. The Long Sid
ing band will discourse music during
the day and ball game between
the Foreston and Long Siding ball
teams will be, among the enjoyable
features of the occasion.
Those in charge of arrangements
are sparing no efforts to make the
affair thorough success and there
is no doubt but what they will sue
coed. All who can do so should
make arrangements to be in attend
ance, as the occasion will be instruc-
tive and entertaining to all.

Anent Citizenship Papers.

The naturalization law of the
United States, passed June 20, 1906,
provides that applicants for citizen
ship must apply for their final pa
pers within seven years after they
made their declaration of intention,
that is, within seven years from the
date of their first papers.
The Bureau of Naturalization has
always claimed that this law also
applies to cases where the first papers
were taken out under the old law,
but the state courts have generally
held that it did not apply to the
declaration under the old law. The
federal courts, however, are holding
almost unanimously that the new
law does apply to the declaration
under the old law, and1that if de-
clarants wait more than seven years
from the date Of their first papers
before they apply for final papers
their application must be denied and
they must begin over again by TAX
ing out first papers.
This attitude of the federal courts
will, of course, have tendancy to
influence the state courts to hold
along the same lines, and I have no
doubt that the representatives of
the naturalizat ion bureau will insist
upon such a construction within a
very short time. I do not think
that they will urge such a CONSTRUCT
tion at the coming terms, but will
probably do so in the near future. I
would therefore advise all parties
who have taken out their first papers
more than seven years ago to delay
no longer and make their application
for final papers without further de.

District Judge.

Fire DESTROYS Barn.

Last night fire broke out in the
barn of A. E. Hayes and the build
ing and contents. with the excep-
ton of Mr.. Hayes automobile, were
destroyed. The blaze was discovered
about 1890 O'Clock by NJ. McKinnon
and the alarm was Immediately
turned in. The fire department ar
rived upon the scene promptly, but
the flames had made such Roadway
that nothing could be done toward
saving the barn. There was con-
siderable hay and some oil and gaso-
line in the building and these added
to the strength of the flames. Mr..
Hayes succeeded in removing his
automobile out of the burning build
ing, but he had no time to spare in
doing it. The total loss is estimated
at about 81, 200, covered by $500 in
surance. Lightning is presumed to
be the cause of the fire.

COMMITTEES NAMED.
Committees Have Been Named and
Arrangements Are Being Com
Ii pleted For Annual Fair.
Indications are That the Fair This
Year Will Be Record Breaker
! in Every Respect.

Committees have been appointed
and arrangements are rapidly being
completed for the twenty third an
nual fair of the Mile Laos County
Agricultural society, which will be
held at Princeton, September Is, II,
IS and 10. Following are the COM
mittees:
Fair Grounds-W. H. Terrell, A.
Bryson and F. H. Goulding. Races
Frank Smith, Fred Keith and D.
A. McRae. Music-S. S. Peterson.
Attractions-C. A. Jack, S. S. Pet
teTson, Ira G.. Stanley. Privileges
A. Bryson, Ira G. Stanley and G. A.
Jack. Ball Games-F. H. Goulding.
VIC. Doane and Ira G. Stanley.
1t is expected that there will be
keen competition among exhibitors
at the Mile Laos County fair this
year. The premiums offered are
numerous and liberal and should be
sufficient to induce every farmer in
this section to. place something on
exhibition. If the villagers and
farmers unite there is no reason why
the fair this year should not be a
record breaker in all respects.
AS special inducement to pro-
mote the dairy industry in this
county, the Great Northern railroad
will give handsome silver trophy
cup to the one having on exhibition
the best dairy COW. The cup is
valued at $50 and should stimulate
interest in dairy stock at the fair.
1t is prize we'll worth making an
effort to win.
AS previously announced in the
Union 5000 has been set aside for
township exhibits and this should be
one of the interesting features OF
the fair. The towns having pro.
ducts on exhibition will be bene.
fitted in various ways and it is tc
be hoped that several towns will
compete for the prizes. Towns in
the northern end of the county will
have u portion of the expense in.
Cured in transporting their exhibit
to the grounds betrayed by tire so.
ciety.
The program of races and sports
has not been completed as yet, but
this feature will not be lacking in
interesting events. Ball games and
various races are being arranged fol
and band music will enliven the
proceedings.
The Mile Laos County fair ranks
second to none in northern or cen.
trail Minnesota and all should lend
hand in making this years fail
the best ever.

= Severe Wind and Hail Storm.

The fierce wind and hail storm
that swept over the village on Mon
day night caused nervous people to
hastily betake themselves to their
cellars. But little damage was done
in the village. A strip of country
about two miles wide running dia-
gonally through the town of Bald
win, south and east Of the village,
seemed to be in the direct path of
the storm. In this strip hay and
grain stacks were blown down, win
dows in barns and residences were
riddled with hail and corn and po-
tatoes suffered severely. George
Townsend was one of the heaviest
losers; his extensive field of corn was
practically ruined. Other farmers

and calves were shipped from Min
nesota to these yards, while in 1913,
308, 200 head were received. net gain
of 1874, 1862 head during the past Is
years. Taking the figures beginning
with 1907 to 1913, there has been
steady gain with the exception of
one year. 1t is also noticed from
these reports that taking Minnesota
with group of other states, viz:
Wisconsin, Iowa, South Dakota,
North Dakota and Montana, that
Minnesota has led them all every
year.
A careful estimate from the re-
ports at hand show that in 1907
Minnesota marketed 104, 457, 1919
pounds of beef at value of S3,241,-
533.97, while in 1913 19l, 446, 664
pounds were marketed at value of
S1l, 861, 632.48; net increase in
pounds of 86,899, 1865, and an increase
in value over the number of pounds
is accounted for by the increased
value of beef since 1911.
