Hunting Season Opens,

The hunting season opened this
morning, and several nimrods from
the village ventured forth in search of
small game. Prairie chickens are said
to be very scarce this year. .....
. A total of IS hunting licenses had
been issued at the office of the county
auditor up to this morning. Shotgun
reports in this county were not ex-
tremely numerous at the opening of
the season. One Of the first hunters
to return this morning was w. G.
Fredericks who succeeded in bagging
fine mallard duck. -,
Here are a few things which it
will be, well to remember: No wood
ducks may be hunted; a stationary
blind is, compulsory according to the
law; one may shoot from boat hid
den in the rushes, but artificial hides
are not permitted; chasing ducks in

Library Meetings.

: The meeting at the armory last
Thursday evening for the purpose of
discussing the advisability of estab-
fishing a public library in Princeton
was not as we'll attended as it might
have been, but representative gath
ering of citizens was present. Miss
Baldwin, state Librarian, addressed the
gathering and impressed those in at
tendance with the benefits to be de-
rived from library.
Several plans were outlined and dis
cussed but no action was taken.
Miss Baldwin also addressed the
Civic Betterment club Friday after
noon, and favorably impressed her
hearers.
The indications are that in the not
remote, future Princeton will be blessed
with a public library, and a project
of this kind should be accorded the
support Of all good citizens.

Fall Selection of Potatoes Paws.

1t pays to select next years pota-
to tubers from the field at digging
time, better than to select them from
the bin next spring. Here are reasons
why seed selection is more easily tax
en- care Of now than when the potatoes
are in the bin.
At digging time one can get good
idea as to the type and uniformity of
tubers produced under Individual vines
which can not be obtained after the
crop has been put in storage. Seed
should be selected only from vines
producing several uniform, average
sized, true-to-type tubers. Such Sc
lection can not be practiced when the
seed is selected out of the bin. .
Tubers affected with scab, russell
scab, late blight rot, black leg rot and
brown ring discoloration due to wilt
should be discarded. To avoid the
possibility of getting tubers infected
with black leg rot or brown ring dis
celebration, the field should be thor
oughly inspected before the vines
have dried up. Seed should not be
kept from infected plants, in fact,
wilted plants, together with what

The hitching post question was dis

/. O. o. F Picnic

The Odd Fellow and Rebekah picnic
on the banks of the Rum in the Umbe-
hooker grove Sunday was a most
pleasant occasion for those in atten-
Dance
The committee on arrangements had
attended to their duties in commend
able manner. Swings and hammocks
were in evidence and the little folks
present enjoyed these features i'm
mensely. Stakes had been driven into
the ground, also, and pitching quoits,
or rather horse shoes, proved whole
some and entertaining. Fred Manke
and I. Mudgett claimed the champion
ship in this line, although VIM. Bal
dowsky and George Borchard downed
them in the last game of the day.
Some of those present were extremely
accurate, and to win the champion
ship required display of uncanny
skill Sam Smith, O. B. Newton, M.
Stacy and Carl Ness were also among
the top-notchers. A tug-of-war with
ten lady Rebekahs holding one end of
the rope, and five Stalwart Odd Eel
lows at the other end would have been
interesting had it not been so one
sided.5 The Rebekahs hauled the Odd
Fellows all over the lot.
The picnic dinner, which was spread
upon the greensward, was indeed an
appetizing repast. The Rebekahs had
prepared it and there was an abund-
ance of substantial eatables. Com
plete justice was done to the dinner
| by the hungry cutters.
The Odd Fellows and Rebekahs in
variably do things up right, and the
picnic was certainlyya happy occasion

An Election Bet.

The first election bet of the season
has been made, and the principals can
not hedge. Fred Murphy of Baldwin
is so confident that President Wilson
will be chosen to succeed himself, that
he has promised I. Martin to ride him
down two blocks Of Main street,
Princeton, in a wheel barrow in case
Hughes is elected. On the other hand
if President Wilson is elected Mr..
Martin must wheel Fred down Main
street; Fred is really giving odds, as
Mr.. Martin out-weighs him.

the fair will continue from then until
Saturday evening.
The opening day will be given over
to receiving exhibits and arranging
same. The premiums offered are very
liberal and the indications are that thu
exhibits will even surpass last years

farmer in this section, who has not
something worthy of prize. Bring ir

program of sports and attractions
Horse races, ball games and other con.
tests will entertain the multitude
while stirring music will be discoursec
by the Glendorado and Book bands
But the feature attraction will be the
airship flights by Monte Rolfe, one OF
the leading aviators in the country
who will be at the fair on Friday anc
Saturday and thrill the throngs with
daring dips and dives. Never before
has such an attractive program beer
offered fair visitors.
On Friday Hon. Frank B. Kellogg
will deliver an address at p. m. Mr.
Kellogg will be the next United States
senator from Minnesota, and he is one
of the big men of the country. We
have no doubt but what an immense
throng will greet the distinguished
Minnesotan, and that he will deliver
an interesting message is foregon@
conclusion.
The officers and committees have at.
tended to their duties in commenda
bic manner, and everything is ir
readiness for the opening day Of the
biggest and best exposition ever staged
by the Mile Laos County Agricultural
society. If they have the cooperation
of the progressive citizens of Prince
ton and vicinity the Silver Jubilee ex.
position will certainly be a winner.

NOTES..

1t was an old time slug fest, and
Wilkes was the star in this line.
Had the visitors arrived on time
it is safe to say that real ball game
would have been played.
Princeton has had the goods this
season, and the boys could have had a
clean record for 1916, as well as not.
Berg was in no condition to play,
but he pluckily stayed in the game.
He turned his ankle during practice,
and was forced to use a crutch Mon

One of the Features.

tossers that lined up against the Min
neapolis post office team late Sunday
afternoon, and at the end of the con-
test the fans were some tired also.
Only seven innings were played and
the final count was 7 to 5 in favor of
the visitors.
Play did not commence until after
o'clock, as the visitors did not arrive
until then. A large auto bus carried
the players, and a goodly percentage
of the Mill City fans to Princeton, and
it was undoubtedly overloaded. At any
rate blow-outs delayed the outfit three
hours or more.
In the meantime Pongo's FASTENERS
had ample opportunity to warm up,
and warm up they did. For two hours
the boys engaged in strenuous prac-
tice, and then sides were chosen and
a regular game started. Five innings
were played before the visitors ar
rived, and by this time the Princeton
performers were in fine shape-to
quit.
Rather than disappoint the loyal
fans, who had remained at the grounds
three hours, Manager Olson concluded
to take the visitors on, although he
we'll knew that his men had about as
much pep as well-fed hobo.
Wilkes was on the hill top fol-
Princeton, and under the circum.
stances did remarkably we'll. He
drove in four Of Princeton's five runs
one of his drives being a steaming
home run. Skahen was at the re-
ceiving station and performed well
SwensOn and Thonnan were in the
points for the postal men, and got by
in good shape.
The visitors started with a curtain
OF fire bombardment. Bang! Bang!
Bang! Three blows and four runs was
the result. Princeton was blanked in
it's half, and the Minneapolis men were
retired scoreless in the second. .
Princeton broke into the run columr
in the second, when Mallette walked
and managed to cross the registering
station before the side was retired.
In the third the visitors added one
to their total, and Princeton pushed
two over in this round. Umbehockel
was retired, but Jesmer walked, Berg
went down, and Galley walked. With
two on Wilkes came to bat, and drove
a ray of hope into the hearts of the
fans by lacing out scorching double
Of course Jesmer and Galley counted.
Neither side scored in the fourth
and the visitors were also blanked ir
the fifth, but this stanza saw Prince
ton even the count. With Berg pre-
ceding him on the paths Wilkes swung
his bludgeon and caught the sphere
fair and square for a smashing -four
cushion drive through center field
It was a clean home run, and brought
the entire crowd to it's feet. This end
ed Princeton's scoring, and the visitors
put the game on ice in the sixth by
pushing one over the tabulating rub.

neapolis men added another in the

Northwestern Train Going South in
the Morning, Thrown OF the
Track by Broken Rail.

The Northwestern train due here at
noon Wednesday did not get here un-
til evening-or the passengers, rather,
did not. There were stories floating
about that many had been injured in
a wreck, but the full particulars were
not fully learned until evening.
Train No. ia bound from Rhine
lander to Milwaukee was thrown from
the track two miles north of Bear
Creek, near Clintonville, at 9 a. M,
and fell so as to stop traffic until the
wrecking crew could clean up things.
The smoker landed on it's side be-
tween the tracks and the right of way
fence; the baggage car, day coach
and parlor car remained upright.
About fifteen people were injured
mostly from broken glass. Among
them the most seriously injured were
]. E. Russell, Emil Steiger, Thos.
Keefe and c. H. Hartley, all of Osh-
kosh.
There were many slightly injured
from Amigo. No one was killed. 1t
is supposed that the train which pass
ed over the road ahead of the wrecked
train broke or split a rail which
caused the trouble.

WILL NEED TO TREAT
SEED GRAIN FOR SMUT

1t is not unlikely that more Wiscon-
sin farmers will treat their seed grain
this spring than ever before.
Grain smuts and blights were un-
usually severe last year and it is ex-
pected that much of the seed to be
sown the coming spring has in it an
abundance of spores or germs which
must be killed if heavy losses are not
to result.
Realizing the seriousness of the sit
uation, officials of the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station and some of the
leading growers of the state are plan
ming a campaign to encourage wide
spread treatment of seed grains. A
circular, containing complete direc-
tions for the formalin treatment of
seed grains, published by the agricul-
tural experiment station at Madison,
it being sent free to any one in the
state who applies for it.
