son and Roy Anderson appeared as
witnesses for the state, and testified
that the assault had been committed.
Christensen admitted that he had
thrown the plaintiff down, but stated
it was case Of self-defense. He was
partially corroborated by Gunder
George, who witnessed the proceed
ings. Nels Nelson also testified for
the defense, but his testimony was not
particularly material.
For a novice at the law game Chris
tiansen did brilliant work, and made a
telling plea to the jury, after the coun-

The jury was unable to agree upon
a verdict, although it deliberated over
three hours, and the case was dis

It is Not An Adopted Child.

There have been many compliment
tary illusions to the Unions thirty

which we are duly grateful, and we
beg pardon for reproducing the bou-
quet which was handed us by the bril-
liant editress Of the Redwood Falls Ga
zette-by the way the Union was es-
tablished by it's present publisher
when he was mere kid in 1876:
'Cantankerous Bob Dunn, as he has
been lovingly called by his most init
mate enemies, has brought. his best
beloved child, the Princeton Union, up

slightest knowledge. Perhaps the
Union was well along in its teens when
Bob adopted tive don't know We
do know, however, that it has reached
a successful, ripe maturity under his
fathering.
''The Union is a big paper-big from
a news standpoint, big from human
interest standpoint and big politically
in that it states political situations and
conditions with clarity which may well
be the envy of every paper in the state.

paper, as an editor must always be if
his paper is not to get into a r,1t Rob
is scrappy, pugnacious with the accent
on the pug and has fondness for
barking and growing as though he'd
bite. But he never really does. In

he believes is just and beneficial and a
little harder than that for good roads.
You always know where Bob stands
and you find him standing there even
when you return from little side ex-
cursion of your own"

How Quack Grass May be Conque

How Quack Grass May be Conquered.
Quack grass which, like the soldiers
in Europe, digs in and is hard to GUST,
can be ousted.
Minnesota Experiment Station Bull
letin No. Isl, on "Quack Grass Erad-
ication," by A. C. Army, tells how the
thing can be done. Here are few
pointed paragraphs from this bulletin.
"Quack grass seed will grow even if
the plant is cut before the seed is ma
ture. In order to prevent quack grass
from developing seeds to the point
where they will terminate, crops in
which it is growing should be cut not
later than the last week in June.
Dung quack-grass plants, if at
tackled before they have formed under
ground stems, are as easily killed as
plants of wheat or other grains of the
same age.
Manure containing quack grass
seed may be applied on plowed ground
before preparing the soil for a cult
waited crop. The seed will grow the
same season and the young plants will
be killed in the preparation of the seed
bed and the cultivation of the crop.
Digging by hand, and removing
from the field all portions Of the plant,
smothering with tar paper, and spray
ing with a solution of sodium arsenite
are best for the complete eradication
of quack grass on small spots.
'All methods Of eradication on large
fields are based on thorough tillage.
"The implements found on any we'll
equipped farm are all that are needed
to eradicate quack grass"

contest with the militia boys staged at

In a game featured by real team
work on the part of the locals, and

Length of the hall, Co. G overwhelmed
Its opponents and romped off with the

a truly gratifying showing and local
enthusiasts fairly beamed content
nent. s--.-..-. = -.
Play commenced shortly after 9
o'clock, and the visitors started with
rush, throwing two baskets before the
locals had time to get squared around.
The down river athletes were not in
the lead for any length of time, how
ever. Princeton brought on it's 1916
model scoring machine and each one
of it's five cylinders was in perfect
working order. Wilkes and Captain
Morton each negotiated field bas-
ket, and then Smith heaved the ball
through the net three times in rapid
succession. Morton and Wilkes again
succeeded in locating the basket, and
Doane got within range couple of
times and took two shots at the net
with marked success. 1t was a con-
tinual round of pleasure and the be-
wildered visitors were unable to pierce
the defense of the locals during all
this time. The locals slowed up a
trifie after Smith had thrown another
basket, and allowed their opponents to
throw two. Just to keep the score
top heavy Newton wound up the half
by waiting the ball through the net a
couple of times. At the end Of this
period the count was rs to- 8.
The second half was repetition of
the first. The militia boys were in

superior team work. Long shots at
he basket were never taken, when
another player was in more advan-
tagcous position. Three times Wilkes
passed the ball the entire length of the
hall to Newton, who counted upon
each occasion. Smith secured three
field goals during this round, and New
ton, who appeared to be unguarded
most Of the time, tossed baskets with
regularity that was truly disconcert-
ing and disheartening to the players
of the other side. Eleven field baskets
is the record hung up by him. At oc-
casional intervals the visitors would
get within range of the net, and dur
ing the final period surprised them
selves and everybody else by negotiat-
ing IL field goals. The total count
was 81 to 20.

The Road to Happiness.

The pessimist delights in derision
of the good resolutions which mark
the celebration Of New Year in the
minds Of the people. Shame upon
the man or woman who would dull the
bright ambitions and desires for the
better Of any human being! But there
is little time to give to habitual mourn
ers. The new year will be what we
make it, so far as our individual lives
are concerned, and the man or woman
who resolves to be happy in a health
full, unselish way, is taking the first
road toward happiness.-Ch Chisholm

tatoes, as in the case Of wheat. Prof.
J. G. Milward of the University of
Wisconsin, explained the Wisconsin
law on potato inspection. Uniform
standardization of varieties of pota-

TEST IRON CASTINGS
WITH A PILE DRIVER

Shop practice at the ordinary foun-
dry provides for testing the strength
of iron castings by having a brawny
workman try to demolish them with
a sledge.
But his work is hardly uniform, as
some days he feels stronger than
others and also the same workman is
not always vailable for the job.
Then, too, there are castings that
man with a sledge Is not able to
break.
Railway car wheels are in this
class, and in the big car plants modi-
fed pile driver is used. Each wheel,
on the strength of which may depend
many lives, is required to show a
strength much greater than it will ever
be called on to display in actual SER
vice.
Dodge Brothers have applied this
pile driver system to testing iron cast
ings used in the manufacture of motor
cars. Samples are taken from each
batch of castings to the physical lab
oratory. One is adjusted in Jig" on
solid base. A hammer weighing 90
founds is lifted to certain height, ac-
cordng to the strength of the blow
to be given, and dropped on the cast
| ing. 1t must stand a given number OF
these blows If it skaters under the
attack and if the other samples break
the same way, it means that the batch
is not up to the standard demanded.
and the junk pile is augmented ac'
cordingly.
A table of standards has been work
ed out so that the laboratory experts
know Just how much each casting must
stand And, of course, the stress put
on them is far greater than they will
ever be called on to face in actual
service.
