BEDOUIN WOMEN.

about, calling each other "Yusif" and
"Musa"-Joseph and Moses. From the

will applaud his awful act of righteous

Village Council Meets.


The village council met in regular
session last evening with all mem
bers present except President
Wheeler. Councilman H. Newbert
presided.
The minutes Of the last meeting
were read by Recorder Hatch, and
same were upon motion approved.
The oath of Office and bond of L.
f.. Wilkes, recently appointed con-
stable, were accepted and approved.
The bid of Louis Wicen offering
to lay the sewer to be put in from,
the corner of the Il. H. Galley resi-
dence to the depot, for 80 cents a
foot, S35 each for man holes and
catch basins and 81 per connection
was accepted. The work will be
done under the supervision of Coun-
cilmen Newbert and Gottwerth,
members of the street committee.
The council decided to levy tax
of $4,000 to defray the cost of i'm
proving the streets, and a tax of
So, 900 for village purposes.
Councilman Henschel suggested
that cutters be put in on the street
from the post Office to Main street,
before rock be applied. No action
was taken in the matter at this
time but it is entirely probable that
the council will act favorably on the
suggestion later.
After considering numerous bills
the council adjourned.

Nearly Ride Into Eternity.

A couple of young Joy riders from
Minneapolis attempted to run an
automobile over the Mississippi
river at point near Clearwater re-
Gently. They might have succeeded
had there been bridge at that
place, or had they been driving an
aeroplane, but under the circum-
stances it is not in the least surpris-
ing that they barely escaped riding
out of this world into the next. The
Clear Lake Times in it's account of
the affair said: .-...s. ... ~. ---..
''Crossing the Mississippi river
with an automobile without the help
of bridge is some stunt, and we
never heard of it's being done yet,
but this feat was ATTEMPTED Saturday
night at the Clearwater crossing, by
couple of young 'pinheads' from
Minneapolis. They arrived here
about 9 O'Clock and struck out for
Clearwater. They coasted down
the Kirk hill and then proceeded to
hit 'er up striking the bank of
the river at a forty mile clip, and
after running about 100 feet in water
stopped, the engine dead, lights
out, and the occupants thoroughly
wet and frightened. Their cries
soon brought assistance from Clear
water and they we're fshed out in a
bedraggeled condition, -also the
car,-but that vehicle was beyond
resuscitation and the young gentle
men had to abandon it and get back
to their homes by other means.
fortunately the car came to a
stop on sand bar where the water
was not deep, otherwise we might
be publishing couple of obituary
notices this week. -

MILACA SHUT OUT
Princeton Ball Team Annihilates the
rlllaca Nine in Contest Staged
at Latter Place Monday.
Final Score is 10 to O-.-Zimmerman
to Oppose Princeton at the Fair
Grounds Next Sunday.

The Princeton ball team invaded
Milaca last Monday. and gave the
enterprising people of that vicinity
an exhibition of base ball as it
should be played. The Milaca nine
was swept way into the discard by
"Pongo' Olson's huskies, and it is
doubtful if the up-country aggrega-
tion survives the beating. Nine
large ciphers were chalked up for
Milaca as result of it's offensive
efforts, while Princeton pushed ten
runs over the plate before the con-
test ended 1t was thorough
trouncing, and the gloom that how
cred over the Milaca camp almost
obscured the sun.
Wilkes was on the firing line for
Princeton and was invincible. But
four hits were secured off of his de-
livery, and no two of them came in
the same inning. He was master
of the situation at all stages of the
game, and his rapid fire was indeed
battling to the swatsmen of the other
side. ''Murph" Angstman was at
the receiving station and, needless
to state, that position was we'll
taken care of. Fairbanks and Sober
quist and Heilig did the heavy work
for Milaca, and did we'll, consider
ing the ierceness of the Princeton
attack.
In the first round Princeton started
scoring, Galley completing the circuit
after having been awarded a base on
balls. Three more runs were added
to Princeton's total in the second
inning. Emahiser was first up but
was retired. Doane was next, and
went to first on balls. While Trunk
was being retired, Doane purloined
second. and scored when Roos
Strengthened out one of Fairbanks
slants for a clean drive. Roos finally
arrived at the third station, and
scored when Smiths hit was
fumbled. Smith also completed the
circuit before the side was retired.
From then omit was merely cues
tion of how large lead Princeton
would have. Wilkes crossed the
plate in the third, although he had
to steal home to do it. In the fourth
inning Smith and Roos scored, but in
the next two 70 unds Princeton
slowed up, with the result that it
was BANKED. Another run was
added to aPrinceton's total in the
seventh, when Emahiser crossed the
registering station, and in the eighth
the last runs of the game were Sc
cured when Wilkes and Jesmer scored.
Milaca had but few chances to
score. and those few chances failed
to materialiZe into runs. Wilkes
pitched a speedy article of ball, and
his team. mates accorded him the
best of support.

Proper methods of spraying will
prevent such losses to a great extent,
says Arne G. Tolaas, Assistant in
Plant Pathology, Minnesota Expert
ment Station. The vine should
be kept thoroughly covered with s.
$50 Bordeaux mixture during the
growing season. The first spraying
should be done at this time, as the
early blight generally make it's ap-
pearance in the>early part of July.
1t important to get the spray on
the vines before the disease ap-
pears, as the spraying of vines al
ready attacked will do very little good
as far as the dressed plants them sell
yes are concerned, though it will
prevent the spread of the disease to
health plant. Three sprayings, at
intervals of two weeks, on the early
varieties, and four or five On the
late varieties, will keep the vine
covered during the season, depend
ing on conditions.

opposed the Princeton nine. and
after an interesting exhibition the
locals were returned winners by a
count of to 2.
Wilkes was on the mound for
Princeton and performed in his
usual consistent form. Dave Umbe-
hooker was behind the bat and
caught creditable game. Al Angst
man was on the firing line for the
brothers and Jess Was at the receiv-
ing station. Both did excellent
work.
The Angstmans pushed one run
over the plate in the first inning.
Forest completed the circuit. Prince
ton was BANKED in it's half, and the
Angstmans failed to score again un-
til the ninth. Princeton took the
lead in the second round, Wilkes and
Galley scoring. In the third inning
Princeton added two more to its
total when Smith and Umbehocker
scored. During the next four in
nings the Angstmans frightened up,
and held Princeton runless, but in
the eighth Trunk and Doane COM
pleted the circuit for Princeton. The
|Angstmans secured their last score
of the game when Walter crossed the
plate in the ninth.
The contest was an interesting
exhibition, and the losers, as we'll as
the winners, made creditable show
ing. The Angstmans are all fast
ball players and they held Princeton
down we'll.

DAY
Large Crowds Congregate at the
Various Places In This Vicinity
ss-T5z-E-
That Observe the Day.
Milaca, 0lendorado, Woodward Brook
and Green Lake Have Appropri-
ate Celebrations Monday.

Monday was an ideal day for the
observance of the anniversary of the
signing of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and the various celebra-
tions in this vicinity attracted
throngs of people. -.sy F..
At Mi,aca the day was observed in
fitting style. Congressman Schall
delivered the grafton of the day, and
1T was powerful address. Mr.. Schall
is an eloquent speaker, and his re-
marks were. timely and patriotic.
During the afternoon ball game
was staged between Princeton and
Milaca, an account of which appears
elswehere. Various races entertained
the visitors during the afternoon,
and the Milaca band rendered sew
eral stirring selections. A gorgeous
display of fireworks and dancing in
the evening concluded the day.
The celebration at Glendorado
passed off in pleasing style and an
immense crowd Of people attended.
The industrial parade in the morn
ing was the opening feature and it
was Thoroughly enjoyed. Repre-
sentative E. E. .Indrehus president
Of the day then in a few we'll chosen
remarks gave the opening address.
and the reading of the Declaration
of Independence followed. Singing
of America by the audience was
next, and it was followed by song
by the home choir, In the afternoon
Hon. J. A. Q. Preus arrived, and
delivered the grafton of the day, and
various races and sports entertained
the multitude. The Sank Rapids
band discoursed music throughout
the afternoon, and all Who attended
pronounced the celebration to have
been appropriate and successful.
Those who participated in the OBJ
servance at Leo Peters grove, given
by the Woodward Brook Farmers
club, were extended a cordial well
come, and most pleasant time was
had. Mr.. Al. Mcclure delivered
al address along the lines of patrio-
tism and good citizenship, and it
was interesting to all. Races and
sports Of various kinds and two ball
games entertained those in attend
ance. The Woodward Brook Farmers
club is progressive institution, and
all who attended appreciated the
efforts put forth by the members of
the club to entertain them.
Green lake attracted vast throng
of people last Monday because of the
celebration at that place. Boating
and dancing were the amusement
features and during the afternoon a
ball game between Karmel and Isanti
was played. Karmel won the contest
by score of 9 to 2. An enjoyable
time was had by all who passed the
day on the shores OF that beautiful
body of water.

is changed. When a man is elected
to a state or national office, if he
makes fairly good, he might as we'll
be given the position for life, and
the farce of holding an election done
away with for the result is always
the same. A man holding an office
under our present system has at least
thirty per cent advantage over any
outside competitor for the same
place. 1t would take an outside
man six months time and cost him
at least $4,000 to put him on an
equality in primary competition
with any of our present officials as
far as publicity is concerned and
then the chances would be largely in
favor of his loosing even if he were
the better man.
This may be as we'll for the coun-
try at large but it is not American
and is not democratic as it is a con-
dition foreign to the ideas of the
founders of the government who
never contemplated the creation Of
a perpetual Office holding oligarchy.
