Church Sermons On
Religious Liberty

Rev. Erickson delivered an entertain
ing sermon last Sunday on the sub
ject of Religious Liberty" which was
considered one of the most interesting
he has ever spoken here. He treated
his subject broadly, with no narrow
views, in any part of it, so that no
one Of an opposing faith could have
taken any exceptions to it. He adj
mitted that some church faiths did
not believe that any would be saved
who did not believe in their creed, but
after all, he said, this was more Il
question of creed than actual belief
He could not pursuade himself to be-
lieve that those churches that believed
theirs the only church could really
down at the bottom of their hearts
have so bigoted and narrow a view
as not to believe a person could be
saved who did not happen to accept
all of their tenets. This, he thought,
was opposed to the teachings of
Christ, regardless of what was in the
church creed. Apostolic succession was
question not for him to decide, but
he believed in the universal salvation
of all men who made an honest pro-
fession of Christ regardless Of church
or creed. Mr.. Erickson is a deep
thinker, has much originality, and
speaks with force when he eXpounds
the gospel. His earnestnes is one of
his chief points of recommendation.

THE HEN AND THE MAN

Hens do not quit scratching because
the worms are scarce.
In this respect the hen shows an
intelligence superior to that OF some
men.
If the hen put slow speed on her
activities while worms were scarce.
she would soon starve to death.
There are some business men who
quit advertising because business is
dull"
If you relax your energies because
it happens to be quiet period, you
can gamble your last dollar that 1t
will be more quiet.
When business is dull is the time
of all times to advertise.
During brisk business periods
everybody will get some business,
even if they do not use any form OF
advertising.
But when a period of dullness
comes, it's the fellow who does the
hustling that captures the trade.
And advertising is the best form of
hustling ever devised by man.

Speeding Automobiles
Along Anderson Aue.
EUery Effort to Cause a Letup
of the Speedsters So Far
Has Failed, and the
Sport Goes On.

Complaints of speeding automobiles
continue to reach "The Palisadian."
There seems to be no way to call
these violators of the road rules to
account. There are two large red
sign boards up on either side of the
Public School warning drivers of the
TACT that there is school near, and
signs are mute evidences of mans
total disregard of conventionalities,
the law itself being mere jest with
a man who has an automobile that
has a little speed in its vitals.
The School Board has written the
Borough Council about the matter of
speeding automobiles in Anderson
avenue, but so far not a thing has
been done about it. There are sew
eral ways of putting sport of this
magnitude on the blink, one of the
methods being to build series of
humps across the roadway, or else a
series of depressions at regular or
irregular intervals, called "thankee
marms." There are several places
in eastern New Jersey that have
adopted this method of discouraging
the speedsters, and the lesson is a
very salutary one to the chap who
encounters one of these distractions
while going at lively clip. If a sign
be placed near the first hump, or de-
preston, telling a bit of the tale OF
the warning they convey, the driver
will take notice and slow down, espe-
cially if he gets a good jolt. 1t is
very dscouraging thing to strike one
of these humps, and they generally
make the autoists do a little quick
thinking on their own account.
1t does seem no more than right
that the Borough Council, knowing
the facts connected with the Ander
son avenue complaints from Palisade
residents would at least make an en-
deavor to put stop to the annoyance.
One of these days, and it is only a
question of time, some poor little
child will be killed or badly injured.
When that time comes, there will be
a vigilance committee in demand that
ought to get busy and stay busy till
the miserable nuisance ceases and the
guilty parties brought to bar. There
has been no little criticism of Mayor
White for not making a determined
stand against the speeders in Ander-
son avenue Along the northern emu
of this inviting avenue, which is very
attractive on account of its fine sur
face, where there are no houses, the
practice of speeding is not so bad.
But along thickly built portion Of
the village, speed should be regulated
and controlled. "The Palisadian" has
no animus whatever in the matter,
and is giving publicity to the situa-
ton in order that Mayor White may
take some steps to have the practice
abated and that in short order. 1t
will not be long before children will
be playing in the street all day long
some days, and considerable portion
of the time at early and late hours
every day when school is out or be-
fore it is called in the morning. An
old adage says, "a stitch in time
saves nine"

A Chicago doctor says starvation is
painless death. 1t is, but it makes
life painful. Any insurance editor
who has to put up with the diet pre-
scribed by his advertising knows that.
Don't deal in woe or tearfulness;
most folks have a supply of wares
like these-its cheerfulness is what
they want to buy. So eat in joy and
truthfulness, put on smiling phiz,
and you'll preserve your youthfulness,
and do lot of biz.

eXasperated business man by recon-
mending (if such exists an office boy
threatened with an incipient intelli-
gence, and who cannot whistle.-Ad-
vertisemet in the Personal Column of
the London Times.
Here, men and brethren, is that
touch that makes the whole world
kin. In this her country, the office
boy, such as the eXasperated Britisher
is seeking, does exist, but he is so
abnormal that he lands as the presi-
dent of an insurance company, and
keeps four automobiles.
If the day looks kinda gloomy, and
your chances kinda slim; and you're
feeling rather weary cause the pros
poets awful grim; and collections
slow and scanty and all hope is nearly
gone-just you bristle up and grit
your teeth, and keep on keeping on.

There was a man named Mr.. Gable,
who bought a goat just for his stable.
One day the goat went out to dine
and ate a red shirt off the line. Then
Gable to the goat did say, "Your time
has come, you die to-day" He took
the goat to the railroad track and
there he bound him on his back. The
train it came, the whistle blew; the
goat then knew the train was due
then with an awful snort of pain
coughed up the shirt and tagged the
train.
A bee will visit from eighty to one
hundred heads of clover to get two
drops of honey. Nobody ever heard
bee kicking because times were hard
and collections slow. The war doesn't
worry him and he doesn't giveadam
for the Democratic tariff. Therefore
he has always honey to sell and
there's always lots of sweetness for
the sweet. So, children, let us be
bees; for then, adown life's weary
way, guess We'll be all right, We'll
gather honey all the day and eat it
up at night.

Death of Qryille Cloueh.

Word was received Sunday of the
death of Orville C]ough at Eveleth,
Wash. He had been ailing for some
time and his demise was not unex-
pected.. He was interested in large
shingle mill at Eveleth along with
ex-Gov. Clough and others. Mr..
Clough was the son of the late E. G.
Clough of Spencer Brook, and was
born at Lynne. n. H., in 1853, He
came west with the family in 1857.
He has been a resident of Washing
ton since 1875, but has made several
brief visits to relatives in Spencer
Brook in recent years. He is sur
viyed by wife and son and numer.
Gus relatives in Washington and
Minnesota. Like all the members
of the Clough family Orville was
highly esteemed by all who knew
him, and his surviving old friends in
this vicinity will deeply regret to
learn of his death.

Princeton Wins and Loses.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team suffered it's second defeat
of the season last Friday evening
when it opposed the Elk River
school team. The final score was 29
to "a, and the contest was close and
interesting throughout. The Prince
ton players were at some disadvant-
age as the hall used was considerably
smaller than the armory, and all
things considered, they played a
creditable game. ...s
The girl teams of the two schools
engaged in a preliminary contest,
and the Princeton girls clearly dem
onstrated their superiority, winning
the contest by a count of to 2.
Elk River scored it's lone field basket
during the first half, while Prince
ton was unable to locate the net in
this round. In the last half, how
ever. the locals negotiated field
baskets and l free throw.
Both contests were well played and
Princeton followers of basket ball are
satisfied at the outcome.

Buy Seeds Early.

Many farmers every year buy a
large part of their seed. 1t is com
mon mistake for many to wait until
the last minute before they make
their purchases. This does not give
them any time to test their seed as
TO purity and termination. Buyers
OF seed should buy by sample only,
then send samples to the Minnesota
Seed Laboratory. University Farm,
ST. Paul, and have them tested.
Samples of bulk seed should also be
sent to the Laboratory later to see
whether they correspond with the
samples. This al makes 1T advisable
not to wait too long before buying
seed for spring sowing.

''Sixty Years Living Valentine"

'sBob" Dunn, sometimes referred
to by those not we'll acquainted with
him as Senator Robert g. Dunn, re-
ceived congratulations from friends
today for having reached the Goth
milestone in his life. He was born
February IA, 1855, and was the only
living valentine his parents in
County Tyrone, Ireland, ever re-
ceived. Publisher of the Princeton
Union since 1876, he has been force
in Minnesota politics for more than
a quarter of century. His most
picturesque achievement was in be-
ing nominated by the republicans for
governor in 1904. In excellent health
and as full of ''pep'' as ever, he is
making the fight of his life this
winter to save the Dunn road law
of 1911 from emasculation.- Mime
apolis Journal, February Is.
The Journal reporter erred in one
instance when he penned the above,
as Mr.. Dunn's parents received two
living valentines on February ID,
sixty years ago. Hugh G. Dunn, a
twin brother of r. G. Dunn, is alive
today and resides at Philadelphia.
The Union, however, realizes that
the reporter was merely guilty of
hastily forming a conclusion, and
does not append the above correction
in a spirit of criticism.

Farmers Club Meeting.

The meetings of the Woodward
Brook Farmers Club are creating
considerable interest in that commu-
nifty, and at club meeting last Fri
day evening it is estimated that APP
prozimately 200 people were in at
tendance. An interesting program
had been prepared for the occasion
and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all
present. The first number was a
farce comedy and it scored real hit.
The plot was that of a prosperous
farmer being interviewed by the
township assessor, and, not knowing
the identity of the assessor, pro-
ceeded to boast of his splendid herds
of live stock. When the farmer
finally realized the nature of his
visitors errand, the value of his
herds decreased in a manner that
was truly amazing. To make mat
tiers worse other members of his fam
lily, not knowing his intentions, in
formed the visitor as to the real
value of the stock. Prof. Watson of
Milaca addressed the audience dur
ing the evening, and gave some valu-
able pointers on the proper feed of
dairy COWS, and the right way to
prepare milk samples for testing.
Numerous songs and recitations were
also given, and each number on the
program was .applauded in a manner
that indicated genuine appreciation
on the part of the audience.

Entertains For Miss Allison.

Mrs. Matte Mallette was hostess
at pleasing social event at her
home in this village last Saturday,
when she entertained in honor of
Miss Sadie Allison of Milaca, whose
marriage to DR.. L. Wiley will take
place some time in April. The affair
was in the nature of valentine
party and the rooms were most
beautifully decorated for the oc-
casion. The color scheme was GRIM
son and white and was carried out
in the flowers, favors and decora-
tions. Tie shaded cande]abra and
electricity made pleasing setting
for the occasion. At l O'Clock dinner
was served and covers were laid for
fourteen. A cut glass bowl contain
ing crimson and white tulips &C.
cupied a conspicuous place in the
center of the table. The BRIDE to-be's
chair was artistically draped with
satin ribbons. The favors we're
beautiful, and gave evidence of the
care and skill of the hostess in pre-
pairing them. Assisting in the. serv-
ing were Mrs. Johnson and Miss
Davis. After bountiful repast the
door bell rang, and at short intervals
a ''postman'' entered bringing with
him parcels for the guest of honor,
and valentines for the other guests.
After the mail had all been distri-
buted those present turned their
attention to cards, and Five Hun
dred was played until the hour of de-
parture. The out of town guests
were Mesdames Allison, Olson, Swad-
ling, Krejci and Miss Sadie Allison.
