HE EARNED HIS SALARY
The Man on the Job Understood His
Business Right Thoroughly.

AT time when the public were
hearing a great deal Of new indus
trial combinations" one of the newly
arrived captains of industry found
himself in a Western city in extreme
need Of communicating with the New
York end of his enterprise.
He had almost completed an ar
rangement for the consolidation of a
number of Western enterprises, but
in order to obtain final authority he
needed from New York it became
necessary to explain, by wire to his
partners, all he had done in tile West.
The situation permitted Of no delay,
such as would ensue should he write,
and to make matters worse he had no
cipher code. For some time the finan-
cier racked his brains to evolve some
method whereby he might communi-
cate his information to his associates
in New York, but in such manner that
it would be meaningless to any one
else. He could, however, think of no
such method, and at last was forced to
the conclusion that he must take the
chance of sending the message In
plain English. According he drew
up the message and gave it to his con-
fidential man to send.
About half an hour later, when the
confidential man came in, he was
asked whether he forwarded the wire.
Yes, sir" said the man; "but not
exactly in the way you proposed. /
rewrote it, the first word on one COM
pany's bank, the second word on an
other company's bank, and SO on.
In that way T sent half the messages
by each company, neither half, OF
course, meaning anything to one not
in the secret. Then l sent a second
wire by one company reading:
Read messages together, alternat-
ing words
Not long afterward the confidential
man was receiving larger salary.

Delightfully."- Entertained.

The "Girls of the '6O's' were de-
lightfully entertained by two of
their number, Mrs. Evalyn Keith
and Mrs. Mary Lynch, at the home
of the former on the afternoon and
evening of Friday, October l. There
are only ten original members now
residing in Princeton, and of these
two were unavoidably absent, leav-
ing just a double quartet to enjoy
the dainty supper, and pleasant rem
niscences that followed.
This gathering was the first since
June, when Mrs. Mary Rines was
hostess to the "Girls" just before
leaving for the Pacific coast. By
an oversight that meeting was not
reported, but, needless to state, the
occasion was most enjoyable one.
We trust that many more of these
pleasant gatherings are in store for
the members of this society.

log to large stone in the center of
the stream when she slipped and
fell, striking her knee against the
stone, and painful injury resulted.
She was unable to get up, but was
finally rescued and taken to her
boarding place. A doctor from

Sunday School Rally Day.

The Union Sunday school of dis
trIct 81, and the American Sunday
School Union held their annual Rally
Day last Sunday, at the Unitarian
church, Tolin, and the following
schools were represented by their
superintendents: Ogilvie NJ. E.,
South Fork Union, Lewis Lake Mis-
sion. Dalbo Baptist, and station of
the Wyanett church. Each superin-
tendent gave history of his Sunday
school and these features were indeed
helpful and interesting. Several
speakers were present. and each one
of them delivered talks that cannot
help but bear good fruit. The musi-
cal numbers on the program included
duets and quartets, and several
pleasing vocal solos by Miss Murray
of Minneapolis. Each number was
greatly enjoyed.
Rev. G. Larson, missionary of the
American Sunday School union, was
present and labored increasingly to
make the affair a success. Graft
flying results crowned his efforts, and
all those in attendance appreciated
his labors.
At noon dinner was served by the
various Sunday schools represented
in the dining room of the church.
The affair was splcndidly success
full, and the Unitarian church of
Dalbo welcomed the visitors most
cordially, and invited them to come
again next year. The services closed
with the singing of the hymn: "God
Be With You Till We Meet Again.

Entertain for Miss Roos .

Mrs. G. H. Nelson and Miss Lou
START were hostesses at delightful
social function last Monday evening,
when they entertained the clerks at
G. H. Nelson's store in honor of
Miss Alma Roos, a coming bride.
The party was held at the C. H.
Nelson residence which was appro-
priately decorated for the occasion
with hearts and cupids.
A truly pleasant time was had by
all present, and various contests dur
ing the evening enter tanned the
guests. Mrs. Henry Glade, Mrs.
Victor Ossel and Miss Esther Nelson
we're the prize winners.
Miss Roos was presented with a
beautiful comforter as token of
esteem.
A delectable luncheon was served
by the hostesses at II o'clock, and
all present did complete justice to
it. All in all it was a most enjoya-
BILE occasion.

iron range road. In fact the Union
positively knows that the closing of
that gap was contemplated by Mr.. ].
J. Hill several years ago. But the
hostility manifested against rail-
roads by demagogic legislators and
time-serving politicians of the Van
SAINT stripe dampened Mr.. Hill's
ardor for railroad extension in Min
nesota, and the Milaca project was
abandoned for the time being. These
are facts, not surmises. We sin
cerely hope there is some foundation
for the interview published in the
Aitkin Republican, but we are afraid
there is not.

Plow With Care.

The chief reason for blowing is to
put the soil in shape to produce good
crops. For best results the blowing
must be done at the right time.
Grain crops in particular need gener-
Gus supplies of readily available
plant food early in the season.
Therefore, in the northwest early
fall-plowing for grain crops is to be
preferred. This allows the needed
changes that take place in loosened
soil to get started early and to con-
tinue until the ground is frozen.
The result in productive soils is the
accumulation throughout the cool
fall months Of plant food and this
is easily taken up by the grain
plants the following spring.
For corn, black loan soils should
be plowed in the fall. On the
heavier clay soils spring blowing for
corn is often preferable.
Good blowing means more than
making. the field appear black. 1t
means more than making straight
burrows. However, a good plow-
man usually makes straight burrows.
In well-plowed field the soil is
stirred and pulverized to the depth
indicated as necessary by the kind
of soil and the crop to be grown ;
and the stubble and rubbish are
completely turned under where it
will be out of the way and quickly
decomposed. For most crops deep,
rather than shallow blowing, is the
best practice.
| TO do good work with minimum
of power, plows must be equipped
with properly shaped and sharpened
shares. A good share allows pillow
to run true and little or no effort is
necessary to hold it in place.

Elk Rivers First Fair.

Sherburne county's first agricul-
tural fair was held at Elk River last
Friday and Saturday, and it was
some fair. too.
The fair was held on the piece of
vacant ground in the west end Of the
village, Immediately north of Prince
ton street, only few minutes walk
from the business section; an ideal
loca ton and easy of access.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather there was goodly attend
ance Saturday-probably 1000 paid
admissions. There were people pres
ent from every corner of Sherburne
county, and quite few from adjoin-
ing counties.
1t was not to be expected that
there would be any permanent build
ings. All of the exhibits were
housed in roomy tents.
There was a display of blooded cat
tie that would have been creditable
to fair of many years standing, and
they were all Sherburne county an
imals, too. There was a fine show
ing of the products of the farm and
garden in the tent devoted to that
purpose.
In the afternoon Hon. James A {.
Peterson Of Minneapolis, delivered
a brief but interesting talk which
was we'll received. There was also a
football game between the Anoka
and Elk River high school teams
which was witnessed by a large
crowd. The Anoka boys were the
victors. -... ...
The managers have reason to feel
gratified over the success achieved
at their first fair. They should go
ahead, secure permanent grounds,
erect a few substantial buildings
such as their means will permit-and
hold the fair earlier in the season
next year. There is no reason why
Sherburne cannot have as good a
fair as any of the neighboring coun-
ties. The county commissioners of
Sherburne county should assist-as
the law authorizes Internationally for
several years, and the farmers of the
entire county should cooperate with
the citizens of Elk River in putting
the fair on a firm foundation. It
requires means and hard work to
build up a successful fair. but we
believe our Sherburne county friends
are equal to the task.

Our Beautiful Streets.

Yes, Bro. Pease, we confess that
Princeton's main streets are all you
say and more, too. They are simply
damnable. No other word applies.
If Bob Dunn had had his way things
would have been different At last
our village dads are making an effort
in the right direction, but the work
is progressing slowly because the
refractory at St. Cloud is slower
than the wrath of the Almighty. If
the present weather continues much
longer our two principal streets will
be navigable their entire length. By
the way, Pease, Anoka's streets are
nothing to blow about.

A Compliment That Jim Appreciated.

Sherburne county approached Hon.
James A. Peterson at the fair in Elk
River last Saturday, grasped his
hand gave it a hearty shake and
remarked: "You are the man who
made the fight for Bob Dunn in
Hennepin county ten years ago.
Well. I am pleased to meet you. l
liked your talk today and I like your
appearance. If you are candidate
for governor next year you will have
my vote and whatever little influ-
ence I may possess. - Jim blushed
like schoolboy, stammered his
thanks. and whispered in the writer's
ear: II feel amply repaid for com
ing to Elk River.''
