New Garage Opens.

Scalberg & Boyn's new garage just
this side of the West Branch bridge
opened to the public last week, and
it is substantial brick structure
with a floor of cement. The build
ing is so feet wide and so feet long,
and the width is amply sufficient
for two cars to pass each other even
If automobiles are occupying space
along the walls. The building has
two wide entrances, which is con-
venient. The main entrance is at
the front: and the other on the south
side at the rear. Two wash stands
have been constructed, and the
building has enough windows to
allow all the lighC needed to enter.
A complete and up-to-date set of
tools and machinery for automobile
repairing have been ordered, and
same will be here soon.

American Ideas in War,

It would be just like Thomas A.
Edison to go and revolutionize ma.
rine warfare now that he is going to
work fol Uncle Sans navy. But
don't forget, gentle reader, that
America already has to her credit
more invention hollors that apply to
war than has any other land. :
A Yale boy invented the first sub.
marine mine.
A Lancaster Countian gave his
name to the first steamship and
Robert Fulton's work soon put every
sailship navy out of business.
( John Ericsson invented the screw
propeller for steamboats, before
the Mexican war, and so made a
new era in naval maneuvres. The
first screw.driven warship was con-
tructed in Philadelphia.
1t was again this same Ericsson
who in the Cos sent every existing
navy to the junk heap with his iron.
clad monitor.
Holland, who died only recently,
built the first of modern submarines.

urer, Mrs. W. Young. The organic

THE BABY CONTEST
Will Be One of the Interesting Fea.
lures of the Twenty.Fourth
Annual Fair.
Babies Entered Will Be CIassed Ac-
cording to Age and Subjected
to Five Tests.

One of the interesting features of
the Twentyfourth annual fair of
the Mile Laos County Agricultural
society, which will also be of scienti-
fc interest and of particular value to
parents and others, will be the Bet
ter Baby contest.
During the past few years great
interest has been manifest in contests
of this nature throughout the United
States, and the Mile Laos County
fair, which always endeavors to keep
abreast of the times, has decided to
have this educational feature this
year.
A Better Baby contest is a splen-
did thing for any community, and
parents are taught how to improve
the physical condition of children
already born and to protect those
yet unborn.
The contest here will be conducted
along educational rather than COM
petitive lines, and parents will Sc
cure knowledge of the care of chill
dren through the examination by
competent physicians. Small defects
are uncovered and remedies are sug-
gested.
The ladies' rest room will be used
for the contest, and a competent
nurse will be in charge. An effort
will be made to have Mrs. Dr. AL
drich of Anoka judge the babies.
The babies entered will be classed
according to age in divisions as fol-
lows: First division, 6 to ~ months !;
second division, Is to "a months :;
third division, rs. to SO months !;
fourth division, 81 to 48 months !;
fifth division, 40 to 60 months. All
inclusive.
The examining physicians will SUBJ
ject the babies to five tests, viz :
Test l, mental and development: test
2, weight and measurements; test
3, physical examination: test 4:
oral and dental; test S, eye, ear,
nose and throat. % :
There is no doubt but what the
Better Baby contest will be interest
ing and instructive to parents, who
will leave the contest knowing more
about their children than they ever
knew before. The children will also
be benefited by the knowledge
gained by the parents. The manage
ment of the fair hopes for numerous
entries.
This will be only one of the many
interesting features of the 1915 fair.
Remember the dates, September Is,
Is, II and Is.

Asinine Road Wreckers.

No road that was ever built will
stand up in dry weather with auto
mobiles tearing over it at the rate
OF 40 and so miles per hour. The
beautiful rock road running west
from the depot is being spoiled by
reckless automobile drivers. They
cannot injure the road in moist
weather. But in dry weather a
heavy machine running at a high
rate of speed sucks out the fine bind
ing material and exposes the rocks
to view: virtually spoils the surfac-
lng-spoils the road. That is what
has been done On stretches of the
rock road in question. If automo-
bilists were to drive over that road
at a moderate rate of speed-15 or
20 miles per hour-at small cost it
could be kept in excellent condition
for an indefinite period.
The writer has been requested to
assist in getting material to put the
road in proper condition again. But
we absolutely refuse. Let the road
wreckers drive over the bare rocks
or in -knee-deep sand as formerly
until they learn some sense.
One thing is certain, the road will
soon be in such shape that the
asinine joy-riders will slow down in
crossing over it, that is, if they can
cross it at all.

SociabilitY Tour.

The Mile Laos County fair will be
given considerable publicity next
Tuesday when over SO Princeton
automobiles, appropriately decorated
with advertising banners, carrying
a host of wide-awake boosters and
the Citizens band will leave Prince
ton and make sociability tour to
a number of the villages of the ad-
joining counties. Almost SO auto
mobile owners have already signifed
their willingness to participate, and
others are expected to become men,
bers of the party. Those in charge
are DESTROYS of making as good a
showing as possible, and every auto
mobile owner of Princeton and yicin-
ity is urged to join the tour.
The party will leave the office of
Mcmillan 4 Stanley at a. H., and
is due to arrive at Zimmerman at
$50 a. m.; leave Zimmerman at 10
a. NJ, and arrive at Elk River at
1890 a. NJ. leave Elk River at IL
a. M; arrive at Anoka at II NJ. for

lsanti at 4 p. NJ; leave Isanti at
80 p. m.; arrive at Cambridge at S
p. H.: remain at Cambridge for
supper and then return home.
Wide publicity will be given the
biggest and best fair of this section
as a result of this tour, and the
originator of the idea is deserving of
praise. If you own an automobile
bring your wife and family and join
the boosters.

NOTES..

Captain Smith benched himself
for some reason that is not easily
explained. He went in as pinch
hitter in the eighth, and calmly
drove out a triple. Smith should
have been in the game all along.
Princeton had excellent chances to
even things up both in the eighth
and ninth. but no one delivered a
hit.
The base ball treasury is empty,
and money is needed badly. Next
Sunday for the first and only time
this season, ladies will be assessed
25 cents before entering the grounds.
The management finds this step
necessary, and we do not presume
any will object.
Galley played a steady game at first
and also came across with two hits.
The Princeton men poled out total
of 10 safe drives, including a homer,
a triple and couple of doubles.
Wilkes held the visitors to 7 hits,
which is creditable work.
1t was some relief when the
seventh inning atrocity was over
with.
Next Sunday Zimmerman will in
wade Princeton with the firm inten-
tion Of again handing "Pongo"
Olson's diamond stars the short end
of the count. Can it do it? Come
and see.
The speedy Linstrom ball team
will be here week from next Sun
day, and the contest bids fair to be
a hummer.
A number of fans from Sank
Rapids attended the game here last
Sunday, and cheered Justify for their
favorites during the latter stages
OF the game.
The Princeton ball team is getting
into trim for next Sundays contest
and the indications are that each
player will be in form. 1t will be
some ball game. -~.-.

File Notice Of Suit.

Samuel A. Anderson, a St. Paul
attorney, was in Princeton last Sat-
urday for the purpose of instituting
action for damages against the vii
lage of Princeton, on behalf of his
clients, L. E. Jesmer and Geo. A
Barrett, whose sons were killed by a
cave-in Of sewer trench on First
street, July 10 last. Notice has been
served upon the village council that
damages are asked in the sum of
SIS, 000-S7, 500 for each of the boys.
The probate court has also been
petitioned to grant letters of admin
istration of the estate of Willard G.
Jesmer to L. E. Jesmer, and letters
Of administration of the estate of
William o. Barrett to G.. A. Barrett.
In each case the estate consists
solely. of a cause of action for dam
ages against the village of Prince
ton and another for causing the
wrongful death of the deceased.
The village will not be called upon
to fight the cases, as Acting Mayor
Newbert informs us that insurance
was carried protecting the village
against damages caused by accidents
to the public while the sewer was
being put in. In all probability the
insurance company will contest the
cases, which are expected to be tried
at the coming fall term of court.

Here From the West,

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Newton and
daughter, Mrs. Laura Retter, arrived
here last Thursday evening, and will

tives and friends. The Newton fam
lily left here l6 years ago, but Mr..
Newton made visit here about
nine years ago. There have been
several changes and improvements
in Princeton and vicinity the past
few years, and he expressed surprise
at the development of this section.
Mr.. Newton is we'll satisfied with
the west, but still thinks Minnesota
one Of the best states of the union.

WEST BRANCH PICNIC
Will Be Held at the Peter Peterson
Picnic Grounds, 0reenbush,
Saturday, August IL.
Prominent Speakers Will Address
the MuItltude--.Ball Game to
Be One of the Attractions,

Next Saturday: August 81, the an
nual picnic of the West Branch
creamery will be held at the Peter
Peterson picnic grounds, where these
outings have been held for the past
10 years. The officers and directors
are rapidly completing arrangements,
and it is thought that the picnic
this year will be more enjoyable than
ever.
The speakers secured for this year
are gentlemen of experience and abil-
ity, who will deliver talks that can
not fail to interest and help all who
are interested in dairying. Mr.. J..
e. Lindberg, of the Minnesota State
Dairy and Food Department. has
promised to attend, and Andrew
French of ST.. Paul and Prof.
George G. circuit of Duluth will also
be there. No farmer in this section
should miss hearing these speakers.
Among the amusement features
will be an interesting ball game dur
ing the afternoon, and as usual re-
freshments will be obtainable on the
grounds.
Dairying is rapidly becoming a
most important industry of Mile
Laos county, and the West Branch
creamery is doing commemorate work
in stimulating interest in it. The
officers and directors are keen and
aggressive, and ever alert to the best
interests of the creamery. That
their efforts are appreciated has been
attested to in the past by the large
attendance at these picnics in former
years: Be in attendance at the pic
mic next Saturday.
