The Third Regiment Left Monday.
The Third regiment left Fort Shell
ing on Monday for the Mexican bor-
der. The regiment entrajned in three
sections. The first battalion to leave
was composed of companies A, B, c.
and D., and Colonel Resche and his
staff; then followed the third battalion
composed of companies I, K L and
M; and the last to leave was the sec
ond battalion composed of companies
E, F; G and H. G is the Princeton
Milaca company.
The car accommodations were not of
the best; many of the boys were
standing up in the aisles as the sew
eral trains pulled out, but, there was
no word of complaint.
1t will require four days, it is
thought, to get the regiment to it's
destination, somewhere on the border
of Texas, New Mexico or Arizona
the. exact location is kept secret.
1t is altogether probable that our
boys will see no active service in
Mexico. For time at least their
duties will consist Of policing the bor-
der. But wherever they are placed
and whatever duty they may be called
upon to perform our brave Minnesota
boys will not be found wanting.
May kind Providence keep watch
and ward over them. ".'

hewitt was on the hill top for
Princeton and the "Chief" was in
splendid form-for bench duty. Wild
ness was his 'chief" fault, although
when he did get the ball over the plate
the visiting willow wielders bumped
it not infrequently. Jesmer relieved
hewitt in the eighth round and got
by in good shape. Skahen was behind
the bat, and aside from his scintillat-
ing defensive work was a tower of
strength on the offensive. He made
six trips to the plate and smote the
horsehide fair and square five times,
and upon the other occasion he walked.
G. Boylon and H. VanKrevelen were
in the points for the Carver county
FASTENERS.
The locals got away to a three run
lead in their half of the first inning,
after banking their opponents. Three
hits, base on balls, and a fielder's
choice enabled Skahen, Berg and Galley
to count.
The second stanza was filled with
waters of bitterness for the local fans.
The narrowing details need not be en-
tered into. Suffice it to say that
seven of the visitors shagged their
way across the plate. Princeton came
right back in it's half and evened up
the count. A corking double off of
Jesmer's bat, Skahen's single followed
by a smoking triple off of Berg's
bludgeon, combined with base on
balls and an error, gave Princeton
five runs.
Watertown was blanked>in the third
but Princeton grabbed a lead Of one
in it's half, when Raiche travelled the
paths the entire distance.
Princeton increased it's lead in the
fourth, after holding the opposition
scoreless again, when Mallette drove
out a double and later counted.
The margin between the teams mar
rowed in the fifth, when the visitors
pushed one run over and then blanked
Princeton.
Neither side counted in the sixth,
but Watertown forged into the lead in
the next round, when three of the
visitors ambled* around the cireait.
Princeton was BANKED in it's half.
Jesmer relieved hewitt in the eighth,
but combination Of unfortunate cir
cumstances gave the Carver county
men another run. The locals made
the count IL to IL in their half, by
adding two runs to their total. Staples
and Raich counted. Angstman also
completed the circuit but was called
ou' at the plate on a decision that was
more than questionable.
With the score tie considerable in
terest was manifested in the ninth
frame. One of the Watertown ath-
letes managed to worry his way over
the paths from the batter's box all
the way round, back to home base,
and it proved to be the winning run.
Princeton was BANKED in it's half, al
though Skahen, first up, reached Sec
ond before anyone was retired.

Church Silver Jubilee.

In the ''Twenty-fve Years Ago.
column of the Union this week there
appears an item telling of the building
of the foundation walls of the German
Lutheran church in this village. The
church and parsonage were completed
that year-1891. None of the men,
bers were then overburdened with this
worlds goods but they were deter
mined to have place of worship and
a pastor Of their own in Princeton.
Providence seemed to smile on their
efforts for the church has continued
to grow and prosper and the worldly
prosperity of its members has cor
respondingly increased. twenty-five
years ago most Of the members came
to services at the church in heavy
farm wagons; today. many of them
come in their own automobiles and
those of them who have not yet in
vested in autoes ride in smart looking
carriages and buggies behind splendid
horses.
Last Sunday the silver jubilee of
the church was most fttingly OBJ
served. There was a large turnout
of the members of the congregation,
especially of the younger people. The
interior of the sacred edifce was
tastefully decorated with fragrant
flowers.
Rev. DR.. H. Ernst of St. Paul
preached the morning sermon in Ger
man. He is an exceeding able and
very affable gentleman.
A picnic dinner was served in
tent on the lot south of the church at
noon, and such a dinner! The tables
were loaded down with the most
tempting viands and more than $50
people partook thereof.
In the afternoon. Rev. E. Schimpfky
of Crookston, a former pastor of the
church here, preached in German, and
the present pastor, Rev. Eugene ALL,
delivered an eloquent discourse in
English.
The Union extends it's heartiest con-
CALCULATIONS to the Rev. Eugene Ali
and his congregation over the sue
cessful celebration of the silver jubilee
Of their church.

Picking the Esparto Grass.

Back in the plateau lands of the
Sahara, behind the coastal greens in
the silent. treeless. untenanted desert
wastes, where the alluring mystery of
the desert broods under the blighting
heat of day and beckons in fanciful
shapes over the dunes at night, stretch
vast fields of wiry esparto grass, from
which paper is manufa ctured in great
mills in England. In these fields, work
ing for the starvation wage of 20 cents
day or less, picking the grass and
tying it in large bales to be loaded on
camel trains for Tripoli City, the port
of Tripolitania, is another corps of
workers who adventure their safety in
their work.
DAY begins for the esparto picker in
the moonlight of early morning In
the chill of the desert morning the
picker leaves his nearby shack for the
field, and begins his rapid task of
breaking the longest wiry blades, leg
high, from the most matured clumps.
And in the heart of these clumps, ever
and again, turks his danger in the
form of his arch enemy, the deadly
viper In the clumps, also. are hid
den the venomous North African rock
scorpions. whose stings now and again
prove fatal. 1t is the poisonous vipers,
however. that make the work of es-

Every Moment.
War Hazards Are No Greater Than
Those of Peace to Arab
and Berber.

Tripoli. the highly infammable land
of the Arab and the Berber, has ex-
changed it's peace-time Industries for
the industry of war, and. according to
a statement just prepared by the Ma
tionaI Geographic Society at Washing
ton, the newer industry adds little to
the normal hazard of Tripolitan life.
The statement reads:
Danger is the daily bread and meat
of the dweller in Tripoli, and, in this
country, f1ecked with occasional cases
and fringed with narrow strips of
coastal vegetation, even the principal
native pursuits for wealth and happi-
ness are accompanied by hidden terror
and grave risk. The three principal
sources of income to Tripolitan are
those of sponge gathering. of esparto
picking and of carrying on the trans
Saharan caravan trade.
Whether the. native son seeks to
maHs his pile searching the Shiny
bottom of the Mediterranean for
sponges, or gathering esparto grass in
the morning mists of the desert. or
following the caravan of a thousand
camels back from the coast through
1900 miles of Saharan desert to the
distant Sudan, he stakes not only his
labor and capital for profit, but also
his health and his life. More often
than not he reaps disability or death as
his reward
Constant Danger Of Paralysis.

boil over the northern coast of Africa

just ahead of this venturesome Iaborer,
who. day by day making foolhardy
rapid ascents from the sea bed under
press of keen competition. sooner or
later experiences the return to ship
board in terrific dizziness, which forms
the usual prelude to partial or COM
plete paralysis. Strange as 1t may
seem. many partially paralyzed divers
are able to continue their calling, and
the untitled. helpless cripple in the up
per air feels normal circulation return
to arms and legs when lowered into
the sea on the sponge grounds. And

the disease indispensable to the voca-
ton. and Injured to hazard in their pc
culiar fatherland. dive phlegmatically
