THRIVING HAMLETS.
Union Representative Visits Long Sid
ing and Pease Saturday and
Finds Both Prospecting.
Christian Reformed Church of Pease
to be Largest Edifice in Coun-
ty When Completed.

Long Siding and Pease, two thriv-
ing and growing trading points Of
Mile Laos County, were visited by a
representative Of the Union Saturday,
and the hospitable business men of
both places made the stays enjoyable.
Long Siding boasts Of a general
merchandise store, that would be a
credit to place several times it's
size. VIM. Lipp, the accommodating
proprietor, keeps a complete stock Of
groceries, dry goods, shoes, gents
furnishings, etc., and has everything
attractively arranged. Mr.. Lipp To-
Gated there six years ago, and. has
built up a profitable business. He also
acts as postmaster and as express and
ticket agent for the Great Northern,
but invariable finds it convenient to
pass the time of day with visitors at
his mercantile emporium.
Farmers in the vicinity of Long
Siding are strong for cooperation, and
the Long Siding Live Stock & Produce
~Co. is a farmers concern. Chas.
Jaenecke, a bright and aggressive
young man, is manager, and the COM
pany is rounding out one of the most
prosperous years in it's history. Hard
ware and farm implements are han
died, and the company also ships live
stock.
The Farmers State Bank Of Long
Siding is one of the new financial in
stitutions Of Mile Laos county, but
under the efficient management of
Cashier o. L. Bye it is rapidly coming
to the front. At the date of it's last
report it had deposits aggregating
$54,811.34. The bank building is a
neat and substantial structure.
Henry Ug1em maintains a branch
real estate office at Long Siding, and
buys and ships potatoes in carload
lots, being represented by Walter
Jensen. Quite few tubers are mar
keted at that point. 49,. - s-.::zs ~. s =
The restaurant and pool room oper-
ated by Arthur Larson is a popular
place, and enjoys a good patronage.
The West Branch creamery, about
a mile west of Long Siding,. is a pros
porous institution owned and operated
by the progressive farmers of that
vicinity, and it enjoys constantly in
creasing patronage. Frank William
son, the buttermaker, is a practical
and experienced man, who attends
strictly to business.

PRINCETON H. S. WINS.
Downs St. Paul's Church Club by Count
of 20 to 1O-Girl Teams PLAY.

The Princeton high school basket
ball team swung into winning form at
the Armory Friday evening, and clear
ly demonstrated superiority over the
St., Paul's church club of Minneapolis
The church club came here with a
record Of four straight wins, but the
local quint piled up lead Of 10 points
in the two halves. The final score was
20 to 10.
The first half was real battle, and
the two fives contested on almost even
terms throughout. Princeton had the
edge, however, and when the shrill
whistle of Referee Olsen announced
time, the score board showed that the
Orange and Black representatives had
negotiated four field goals and free
throw, for total Of nine points, while
their opponents had tossed three field
goals and two free throws for a total
Of eight.
The second half was a continual
round of pleasure, and the floor work
of the local youngsters was more than
pleasing to Princeton followers of the
great indoor game. Each member of
the P. H. S. quint scintillated on the
offensive and defensive, and the result
was that the down river five was never
in the running in this period Ten
times did the locals toss the wind-in-
faated sphere through the net, while
one lonely field goal represented the
scoring efforts Of the visitors. It was
great comeback on the part of
Princeton, and conclusively proved that
the high school athletes are in the
pink of condition. They fairly oozed
confidence and pep throughout the
half, and seemed to score at will.
Hereunder appears the lineup of the
| two foannc.

A contest between two girl teams of

A contest between two girl teams of
the Princeton high school was another
feature of the evenings entertainment,
and it proved interesting, although
rather one-sided. The sophomore
girls opposed a quint made up of
junior and senior maidens. The soph-
ignores displayed exceptional form
and romped off with the long end Of a
% to count. The junior-senior five
scored two points in each half, while
the winners scored IL points in the
first period and 10 in the final half.
Indications are that the Misses OF. the
local institution of learning will again
demonstrate to girl teams of neighbour
ing high schools, that Princeton girls
lead them all.

HEAVY RAINS MEAN

The rains which have been de-

may result In a sharp increase in the
number Of cases of typhoi fever. ac-
cording to the State Board of Health,
unless prompt precautions are taken
by all whose water supply is in danger
OF possible pollution by overflow or
otherwise.
The late spring, health officers say,
gave Virginia the prospect OF a favor
able typhoid year. but these prospects
are fast, being upset by continued
washing rains and the morbidty for
the year may exceed that OF 1918
unless individual householders and
farmers protect themselves.
The rains. 1t appears are peculiarly
favorable TO the spread Of typhoid, in
that they wash the filth into streams s.
whence it may find its way into water
supplies Of different communities On
farms, also. where reliance is placed
on springs heavy rains sometimes
choke up the bitches or dam the
spring branches and result in over

satisfied that such a farm Is one for
the purposes intended.
Therefore, before making its final
Recommendation to the Finance Com
fnfttee. the board Will take look at
many farms in the vicinity of the
lefty.
Some members of the board do not
believe the city should purchase a

|ment, should be secured.
Storehouse Plans.
The board will hold a special sess on
tomorrow afternoon to examine and
kpass upon the plans for the proposed
city storehouse. as designed by Car

more than $4,000. The board now
has at its command the sum of $685.

that If the building. which Ia 90 be
