Fair Admission Fee.

Some asinine individuals have cir
culated report to the effect that
the admission fee to the Mile Laos
County fair this year will be in
creased to so cents. The story is de-
void of truth. The admission fee
will remain the same as it was last
YEARS. cents for adults and children
free. There will be no extra charge
for grand stand. At almost every
other county fair in the state the
admission fee is from IS to 50 cents,
and the grand stand is extra.
The Mile Laos County fair is not
a money-making scheme. Every dol
lar taken in is paid out for premi-
ums, amusements or necessary ex-
penses.
In few years, when the final pay
ment is made on the grounds, the
association hopes to make still fur
ther improvements and offer still
more liberal premiums. Every dollar
received over and above running ex-
penses will go into improvements.

Sow Winter RYE,

One of the largest grain houses in
the Northwest, G. E. Lewis & Co.,
advises farmers to SOW winter rye,
and in our Judgment it is advice that
should be needed. We quote from
Lewis & Co.'s circular:
Frye is the great food crop of
Europe. 1t is sown in the fall.
Europe is now a battlefield. Mil
lions Of men have been taken from
the ranks of production and the
problem of next years food supplies
abroad is grave one. :
"The raising Of winter rye in the
Northwest is not an experiment.. 1t
has been a most successful crop the
last few years. This season of all
seasons farmers should determine to
put in as large an acreage as plans
for crop diyersihcation will admit,
1t is an economical crop, providing
early spring pasturage and is ready
to harvest when pressure of othel

can do nothing better towards reliev-
ing the prospective acute distress

put forth supreme effort to raise
as large crops as possible in 1915. In

is situation so serious that all pre-
cautions should be taken against
crop failures in this country next
year."
If all signs do not fail rye will
command extraordinary high prices
next year, and nowhere can rye be
grown to better advantage that
right here in the vicinity of Prince
ton. The farmer who sows a large
acreage to rye this fall will make no
mistake.

the road in Greenbush has been un-
der the active supervision of Archie
Taylor, and Louis Solberg has had
immediate charge of the work in
Princeton town. Both of them are
efficient and faithful workers and
they rendered the county and state
good service.

hoped that that part of the road can

What is needed to make an extra

by volunteer labor as the appropria-
tion for the work is exhausted.

Our Anoka neighbors held a sue
cessful fair the last three days of
last week. There we're good exhibits
of horses and cattle and agricultural
products, and a particularly fine dis
play of potatoes The amusement

James J. Hill was there one day
and had an immense audience. AS

farmers One prominent farmer re-
marked to the writer: ''That man
Hill is certainly one of the grandest
men this country has ever produced.
He is the greatest railroad man in
the world; that is admitted by every
body. 1t is also conceded that he is
fnancier of the first order, but
after listening to his talk yesterday
am convinced that he can give the
wisest and best of we old farmers
pointers on farming.'
Two Princeton horses were entered
for the races-"Bessie'' by Will
Swanbro and "Ensign' by Charley
King. "Bessie'' was driven by
Harry Davis, and Charley held the
ribbons over "Ensign. " ''Bessie'

Mr.. Hylander had been i'll about a

MOST MODERN PLANT
Princeton Potato Starch Factory Is
so Regarded by Expert of Agrl.
cultural Department.
An Important Experiment to Be Con-
Quoted Here by the Department
of Agriculture.

California parties who are inter-
ested in the utilization of their sur
plus potatoes for the manufacture of
glucose have requested the United
States Department of Agriculture
to make a preliminary experiment
prior to their undertaking the es-
tablishment of potato glucose
plant. The department wished to
have frst-class modern potato
starch factory in which to make the
experiment., and here is what G. G.
Moore, expert of the Plant Chemis-
try Laboratory of the department.
writes Mr.. T. H. Galley:
II have visited most of the pota-
to starch plants in the United
States, and your plant is so far SUI
perior in every way to the other es-
Establishments that I felt that it
would be very desirable to have the
use of such a modern plant as yours
for this purpose. Personally, I
should take very great interest in
the run and believe that some ex-
perimental data may be obtained
that will be of value to all inter-
ested in potato starch manufacture
and it's uses.
Messrs. Galley and Peterson of the
Princeton Potato Starch company
say the company will be glad to COM
ply with the request of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and probably a
car load of California potatoes will
be shipped here in the near future
for the purpose of conducting the
experiment.
Messrs. Galley and Peterson are OF
the opinion that if the experiment
demonstrates that glucose can profit.
ably be made from potato starch it
may be worth something to. their
company and the potato raisers OF
this section.
Anyhow, it is gratifying to know
that the potato starch experts Of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture consider the new starch fac
tory at Princeton the best and most
modern in the entire country-and
here is where the department. has
determined to conduct experiments
that may mean millions of dollars tc
the potato-raisers of this country.

RURAL LETTER CARRIERS MEET.
Most Enjoyable Meeting Held at Prince

Of Mile Laos county: together with
their substitutes and families, con-
vened at the Odd Fellows hall in
Princeton and passed pleasant day.
At first it was planned to have a
picnic on the river bank, but, oW-
ing to the lateness of the season, it
was decided that meeting in a hall
would be more suitable. Carriers
were present from Princeton, Milaca
and Dalbo, and, all told, about fifty
people were present.
In the morning the Mile Las
County Rural Letter Carriers asso-
citation convened in annual session,
and all the old officers were re-
elected. They are: John Bishop,
presidents; L. W. Diedrich, vice
presidents: F. S. Walker, secretary ;
Isaac Martin, treasurer. L. W. Die
drich was chosen to represent this
county at the annual state conven-
tion of rural letter carriers and c..
W. Crozier was elected alternate.
At noon sumptuous picnic din
ner was eaten, from table long
enough to aconrm odate all. Photog-
rapher Payette was present, and
took a hashlight picture of the
diners. Then the gathering at
tended the ''movies'' in body and
the closing feature was an automo-
bile ride through the principal
streets of Princeton for the ladies of
the party.
The mail carriers invariably have
a pleasant time at their gatherings,
and the meeting on Monday was ex-
ceptionally enjoyable.

Fire in Princeton Township.

Fire totally destroyed the barn
and corn crib on the S. S. Sanford
farm in Princeton township last
Saturday night. In the barn at the
time were thirty tons of hay, six
horses, six calves and a bull. But
two horses and one calf were saved.
The corn crib contained about 200
bushels of corn, none of which could
be removed The loss is partially
covered by insurance, as $1,000 was
carried on the barn and a small
amount on the stock. However the
hay, and the corn crib and it's con-
tents are a total loss. .-.... i. p. Il

LONG SIDING WINS
r. r. & w. Commission Decides That
Additional Shipping Facilities
Should Be Granted.
Standard Portable Depot and One.
Pen Stock Yard and Loading
Chute Ordered.


Great Northern Railway at Its
Station at Long Siding.
This matter was heard before Com
missioner Mills on the 18th day of
August, 1914, at Long Siding. The
citizens were represented by Henry
Uglem and several other patrons of
the railroad, and the company by M.
L. Countryman, general attorney,
and J. Lindsay, superintendent.
After hearing the evidence the COM
missioner made the following report:
"Long Siding is situated 4.2l miles
from Princeton and $50 miles from
Milaca. The business done at said
station being, according to the report
made by the company, for twelve
months ending May 31st, 1914, as
follows:
''FreiSht forwarded, S3,202.07;
freight received, S973.25: passenger
receipts, $1,047.41; making a total of
SIS, 222.73.
''This passenger business repre-
sents only business from said station
and not business into it. In SUCH
cases the commission, under the
statute, always consider the i'm
business to be equal to the out and
doubles the amount of passenger re-
ceipts reported, which makes the
business of that station $6,27O.14.
Said station now has custodian SER
vice and the station facilities consist
of small building II feet by feet
"a mere shack-and in very bad con.
dition.
1.-The evidence shows that an asso-
citation, consisting of about ninety
members, wish to ship. stock from
this point and they would probably
ship from Is to 30 cars a year. 1t
was claimed stock--that. properly be-
longed to this station was taken to
Princeton and Milaca and some to
St. Cloud. The station of Princeton
received SO carloads of stock during
the twelve months ending May 3lst:
1914, and the station of Milaca lOl.
The company says that there has
been no stock offered at Long Siding.
There naturally would be none, for
there has never been any facilities
at that station to ship stock, not
even loading chute. In my opin-
ion it is necessary for the proper con-
duct of it's business and to give rea-
sonable service to the public that
the company should provide at this
station a new standard portable de-
pot building and a one-pen stock
yard and loading chute.'
The report of the commissioner
was adopted by the commission, and
it is therefore ordered, that the
Great Northern Railway Company,
by December 1st, 1914, erect and
maintain at the station of Long Sid
ing a new standard portable depot
building, and one-pen stock yard
with a sufficient loading chute tc
load cattle into cars for shipment,
and that the custodian service at
that station be continued.

The European War.

The allies seem to be more than
holding their own in France. At
certain points it is claimed that the
Germans have been forced to retreat
after suffering heavy losses. On the
other hand the French fortress of
Maubeuge is reported to have been
captured by the Germans and 100000
prisoners taken.
The Russians seem to be having
everything their own way in Poland,
east Austria and east Prussia and
have repeatedly defeated the Aus
trians. The car declares his troops
will enter Berlin.
In every battle the death loss has
been appalling.5 Already the num-
Der of dead and wounded is said to
exceed 100000. So far it has been
the most destructive war in the
history of the world.
