Beware of Grafters.

Fakirs are going around through
the country taking orders for suits Of
clothes purported to be made Of cloth
that was struggled into the country.
The smuggling" story will be evil
dence enough to convince you that
these wandering gentry are-fakirs and
grafters, pure and simple, and that
their cloth is the cheapest kind Of
shoddy. Your home dealer can supply
you with good clothing at the same
prices these smooth "smugglers" ask
for inferior stuff-and if you don't
like your clothes, you can go to your
home merchant and he will make it
all right with you. The smugglers, y
however, will be miles away, chuckl-
ing over the suckers that have been
entangled in their net.-Jackson Re-

Princeton Will Celebrate.

The American Eagle will scream in
Princeton on Independence day, and
plans are now being arranged for an
old-fashioned Fourth Of July obser-
vance, y-- ~
The program has not been complet-
ed as yet, but among the attractions
Of the day will be horse races, foot
races and other contests and sports.
A ball game between Princeton's crack
aggregation, and some fast team to
be chosen later, will be one of the
features also, and grand parade of
floats, etc., will add to the significance
Of the observance. Dancing afternoon
and evening at the Armory will be
another enjoyable feature, and a grand
display Of fireworks in, the evening
will close the celebration.
Those who celebrate in Princeton
are assured Of a royal good time.
Complete program will be published
later. -v-e"~

Mr.. Charles A. Lindbergh is franti-
cally attempting to attract attention
to his candidacy for the United States
senatorship, but the people refuse to
be attracted. Charlie processes to be-
lieve that whatever is is wrong, that
he knows of a sovereign remedy for all
existing evils, but that he is not quite
ready to take the dear people into his
confidence and impart to them the Sc

it should be applicable will unfold his
scheme Of salvation after he is firmly
seated in the senate. Mr.. Lindbergh
is reported to be wealthy man, and
it is altogether probable that he can
manage to keep the wolf from his
door even under existing conditions.

Madeline Newbert.

Madeline, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Newbert, Of Mora, passed away
at the Northwestern hospital Friday
morning at II o'clock, following an OPP
GRAFTON for appendicitis. Death was
not unexpected, as the little girl had
been i'll with acute appendicitis for 48
hours preceding the operation, and
her condition was extremely critical
at the outset. All sincerely hoped that
under DR.. Cooney's skillful care re-
covery would be effected, but it was
willed otherwise. Funeral services
were conducted at Mora Sunday after
noon. Mr.. and Mrs. H. Newbert,
grandparents, and Mrs. J. M. johnson,
aunt Of the girl, and Mr.. Charles Keith
were among those from here who at

lege to be an AmeTlcan citizen.
For America Always =
want to see man elected to the
senate from Minnesota who, in the. face
of all odds, has sufficient courage Of
his convictions to stand against every
attempted abridgment Of American
rights, uphold the honor and dignity
of the flag, so near and dear to every
true and patriotic American citizen
in short, man who will be for Amer
lea always for Americas own sake. To
me it is distinctly disappointing to
think of the fact that out Of Minneso-
ta's entire delegation, there should be
just one single man who had courage
enough to stand out strongly, boldly,
for what is distinctly American.
II am very frank to say that no can
didate for the senate from Minnesota
who does not take a clear, open posi-
ton in this respect will ever have my
support for that or any other office,
irrespective Of our other personal re-
lations, past or present, and to date
it seems to me that there is but one

unmistakable and dignified attitude
with best wishes and kind personal
regards, am sincerely yours,

Z Several restrict ions governing the
postal savings system have been elm
mated, and the limit has been raised
from $500 to 81, 900 for each depositor.5
Another Important modification Of the.
previous restrictions is the permission
now accorded depositor to place
81 900 or less on deposit at any one
time. Heretofore no depositor could
place more than $100sin a postal bank

the matter, is evidenced by the
fact that he received 1924 replies.

in our naval strength, while 3,019

matter of increasing our army, senti-

Men who have always been staunch
supporters Of Senator Clapp are be-
ginning to realize that the real fight
for the republican senatorial nomina-
ton lies between Mr.. Kellogg, and Mr..
Eberhart, and among them is Hon.
Sam Y. Gordon, who says in his
Browns Valley Tribune: AT the
present time it looks very much as
though Kellogg was leading in the
senatorial race. He has been holding
a series of public meetings which have
been well attended and he seems to
have made a very good impression. If
it must be Kellogg or Eberhart, by
all means give us Kellogg.
