GOOD ROADS DAY.
Grand Rapids, One of the Numerous
VILLAGES to Observe the Dav.

Villages to Observe the Day.
Last Tuesday was Good Roads Day,
and it was generally observed in the
various villages and communities of
Minnesota. ,-s
Grand Rapids. one of the thriving
and progressive villages of northern
Minnesota, observed the day in a
truly fitting manner, and a goodly
stretch of road was put in good COLI
dition. The Commercial club took
charge of affairs, and several hum
dred volunteers responded to the call
for laborers. The crew started at
the Mississippi river bridge, and
thence proceeded to dig, shovel,
pillow and scrape their way to the
Ogema hotel, where Doubtful din
ner awaited them. The dinner had
been prepared by the ladies Of Grand
Rapids and it was a spread that con-
tanned all the necessary ingredients
on which men can do a days work.
Every bad spot that was overlooked
on the trip was repaired on the re-
turn, and Grand Rapids is to be con-
graduated upon class of citizens so
public-spirited.
Numerous other hamlets, villages
and cities observed the day, and it
is safe to assume that miles and
miles of roads were improved in
Minnesota last Tuesday.

NOTES..

The Princeton nine presented a
strong front last Sunday, and played
a winning article of ball.
H. J, Plaas called the balls and
strikes, while ''Tim'' Angstman
gave the base decisions. Both at
tended to their duties in commend
able manner.
The visitors played creditable
game Of ball, but the locals were de-
termined to win, and proceeded to
do so. 1t was as interesting an exhi-
bition of ball as has been staged here
for some time.
No game has been scheduled for
next Sunday, as some of the players
are at Lake City with Company 6.
Princeton fans we're all pleased at
the showing made last Sunday, as
the Nemecs nine is a speedy aggre-
cation, having defeated Princeton in
La particularly fast contest earlier in
the season.

university, and James Sorenson,
manager of the state creamery at

Street Car Strike Ends.

The greatest street car strike the
United States has known began at
Chicago Monday motning at 4
o'clock, but it only lasted two and
one-half days. The strike was called
off yesterday morning, following an
all-night conference in the mayors
office, at which Mayor Thompson,
head of the car lines, strike officials.
members of companies and members
of a special aldermanicl strike COM
mittee attended. The opposing fac
tions agreed to concede certain
points and arbitrate others.
The strike resulted in the most
complete city transportation tie-up
the nation has known. About A.
900 persons we're thrown out of en-
ployment, 1901 miles of elevated and
surface track rendered idle and a
burden thrown on steam roads, auto
mobiles and other vehicles; which
they we're able to meet only in small
part.

Game Is Staged at the Fair Grounds
Sunday and the Final Score

The Princeton base ball team re-
deemed itself at the fair grounds last
Sunday, when it administered de-
feat to the speedy Nemecs aggrega-
tlon of st. Cloud by a count of to
p. The contest was real ball game,
and ''Pongo' Olson's men performed
in a style that was truly gratifying
to local enthusiasts.
Wilkes was on the firing line for
Princeton, and was in great form.
Ten of the opposing batsmen whitfield
the breeze, and the hits secured off
of his delivery we're few and far be-
tween. Skahen was at the receiving
station, and as usual performed in
big league style.
The visitors broke into the score
column in the first round, after two
men had famed, on a couple of hits
and an error. Princeton evened
things up in it's half, however. L.
Angstman was first up: and he poIed
out safe one. Doane then sacri-
feed, and Angstman scored when
Smith connected for a sizzling
drive. Smith was retired at the
plate, when he attempted to score on
hit by Mallette. Both mines tight
ened up during the next three in
nings, and played errorless ball, with
the result that not a run was scored.
In the fifth inning the visitors Sc
cured their last run of the game
when Carlson completed the circuit.
Princeton was again BANKED in the
fifth, but in the sixth the locals tied
the score. Wilkes was first up, and
went to first when the catcher let
the third strike get away from him.
Wilkes then purloined second and
third. and scored when Emahiser
nailed out sacrifice fly. In the
seventh inning Princeton assumed
the lead by pushing another run
over the plate. Roos was the first
man to face the pitcher in this
round, and secured transportation
to first by stopping one of Carlson's
slants with his body. After stealing
second, Roos went to third on sac
rifice, and scored when Doane poled
out long sacrifice fly. In the
eighth inning Princeton increased
it's lead by adding another run to it's
total. Wilkes again completed the
circuit, being assisted by considera-

oughly prepared, or if heavy rainfall
has packed the well-prepared seed
bed after the corn has been planted,
early cultivation is needed to loosen
up the seed bed, giving the young
plants a chance to grow, and to kill
the Weeds Medium depth Cultiva-
ton, either before the corn is up,
following the planter marks, or as
soon as the corn can be seen, followed
by deep and close cultivation each
way at the time the corn is fom to
inches high, is also good practice
under such conditions.
Later cultivation for the purpose
of retaining moisture and killing
weeds should be shallow. If the soil
has been properly worked before
planting time or deep cultivation has
been given while the corn is small,
after cultivation need not he more
than or inches deep.
After corn is from 8 to II inches
high, deep or close cultivation be
comes increasingly harmful, cutting
the roots near the surface and re-
ducing the amount of water supplied
to the plants.
Sufficient cultivation should be
given to keep the surface of the soil
mellow and free from weeds. Guilt
walton beyond this is unnecessary and
only increases the cost of production.

Princeton to boast of having so

take pardonable pride in his achieve

The building now has capacity of

and are we'll ventilated. Nothing has

The lights are so shaded as to reflect
the light upward. Two spacious
screened porches and a splendid sun
room add to the comfort of patients.
There is an outside stairway for
emergency use, and the hospital is
supplied with 200 feet of hose,
to be used in case of fire. A new and
strictly modern heating plant has
been installed, and no detail has
been overlooked to make the hospital
safe, comfortable and sanitary.
The operating room is thoroughly
up-to-date in every respect, and dur

When one considers that four to

major operations, and that DR..
Cooney does not pick his patients,
but operates when there is any hope
at all that an operation will save a
life, his skill as surgeon can be
realized.
The new wing of the hospital has
been built and furnished chiefly for
the purpose of providing quiet and
