Girls worship novel heroes, but in
real life they prefer men who can pro-
vide them with three square meals
day.
Fame, from literary point of view,
consists in having people know you
have written lot of stuff they haven't
read.
Some good people seem to think the
Almighty is making great mistake in
not leaving the management entirely to
them.

Honor the Bows in Khaki.

There is not enough interest taken
in our militia boys. Company G is
composed of good, clean young men,
They are not all from Princeton vii
lage. Milaca has contributed a re-
spectacle quota, so have the country
districts adjacent to Princeton. Let us
make it pleasant for the boys while
they are with US, and before they
leave fund should be raised to pro.
vide them with little comforts, as
some Of the boys are not overburdenec
with money. The young men who re.
spond to their country's call in he1
hour Of need are deserving of consid

Farewell Party.

A farewell party was rendered to
Miss Mary Huse by the Order of East
ern Star last Monday evening, and
was a most enjoyable affair. Miss
Huse has been a valued member of the
order and her many friends gathered
to honor and wish her happy journey
to her new home in California.
The tables were most artistically ar
ranged in the form Of a cross and were
lavishly decorated with blue iris and
ferns. A short program consisting of
vocal and instrumental numbers was
we'll rendered by some of Princeton's
leading artists and each number was
encored by an appreciative audience.
With few we'll chosen remarks
Mrs. Carleton presented to Miss Huse
a beautiful souvenir spoon. Miss
Huse, in her usual pleasing way, re-
sponded most appropriately concluding
with Longfellow's beautiful poem
1.-THE ARROW and the Song"
Miss Huse's many friends wish he1
a safe and happy journey to her new
home, but will assuredly welcome the
time when she returns to her Prince
ton friends. .

Messrs. A. M. Davis, O. B. Randall.
Claire Smith, O. B. Newton, VIM. Roos,
NJ. McKinnon and H. L. Shockley re-
turned from Chisholm last week where
they were delegates to the convention
Of Minnesota firemen. Mr.. Davis re-
ports that the range city gave them
a most cordial reception, and races, ex-
cursions, fire runs, etc., made the oc-
casion a continual round of pleasure.
Mr.. Davis failed to enter the foot race
arranged for the chiefs of the various
departments, but he is confident that
he would have won had he done so, as
most of the chiefs were decidedly cor
pulent. Hibbing, Virginia and Bull
were also visited, and Mr.. Davis:
says that the first named municipality
is thing Of beauty. The Streets are
paved, as are the alleys, and the main
thoroughfares have white wayss that
fairly flood the city with light. All in
all it was most enjoyable convention.

The following clipping from the La

Clyde has been in the employ of the
Echo for eighteen months, and has
''made good" Competent, obliging
faithful and dependable. He has made
many friends for the Echo, and we
can assure Mr.. Risk that he has
secured excellent help. Mr.. Robideau
made the change just because he de.
cided to give up the newspaper game
"Too much work, too much grief, toe
little pay for the effort required
While balancing up, he remarked te
the boss, 'Lowe, if you worked as
hard at anything else, you would be
rich. The newspaper man does not
enjoy natural life-nose to the grinc

Test Shows Fall Pigs Yield Profit.

Test Shows Fall Pigs Yield Profit.
Fifty-seven fall pigs fed at Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul, last winter
and marketed recently left a margin
of $4.56 head to cover cost of labor,
risk, interest, profit, etc.
R. C. Ashby Of the animal husbandry
division at University Farm, began
series of tests two years ago to de-
termine whether raising fall pigs in
Minnesota is profitable. The margin
Of nearly five dollars head is the
result of the test.
Eleven sows narrowed fall filters for
the tests, and the pigs were weaned
December 16. They were put on feed
ing tests two days later. The records
kept cover all feeds consumed by sows
and filters from narrowing to weaving
and from the time the actual feeding
test was begun until it was finished.
The total cost of feed for the sows
and pigs up to weaving time was
$186.81. From weaving time to the
time of marketing, the feed cost
$13.42 head. The feed was counted
at these prices: Shelled corn, IS cents
a bushel; ground barley, 65 cents a
bushel; shorts, $26 ton; tankage, $55
a ton.
The pigs averaged 1914 pounds
when sold May 6. They were sold at
$9.65 in South St. Paul, price equiva-
lent to 1910 at home. The selling
price of $17.98 left balance of $4.56
each. No account Of manure is taken
in these figures.
The pigs were fed in five lots, three
lots for self feeders and two lots fed
by hand. Those in the lots in which
the self feeders were used did better
than those in the other lots. The corn
fed lots required about seven bushels
of corn, forty pounds Of tankage, and
from thirty to forty pounds of shorts
for each pig from weaving time to the
close of the test.
The pigs were fed grain alone.
They were given no milk and did not
have access to the cattle yards. Mr.
Ashby thinks that when milk is avail
able or when the pigs can pick up
after cattle the margin will be cor.
respondingly increased.

In twelve states the right to vote
has been extended to women, and these
suffrage states represent 81 votes in
the electoral college. Under the cir
cumstances it is not surprising that
both the Chicago and St. Louis plat
forms contain planks indorsing stuff
rage, but both parties insist that it
is matter for the states to decide
This disposes of an embarrassing pro.
position in manner that will not
create bitterness among those who
favor equal suffrage nor those opposed
to the proposition. AS a straddle il

The dance given at the Armory on
Monday evening by Co. G, M. N. G.,
was we'll attended, and it was an en-
joyable event. Pleasing music was
discoursed by home orchestra of five
pieces, and it made a decided 'shit''
with those in attendance. There is no
reason why Princeton should send
away for musicians, when it is for
tunate enough to have local talent SO
excellent. The dance was a success
from every point Of view, and Co. G
has better reputation than ever as
sponsors for delightful terpsichorean
events.

The farmers and fruit growers of
Texas are rapidly learning the lesson
of cooperation. A cooperative poul-
try association at Friendswood has
been Of so much advantage to it's men,
bers that it has extended it's activities
beyond the marketing of products and
now buys all supplies at a great saw
ing to it's members. 1t has also under
taken the management of a creamery
and cooperative loan company. The
success Of cooperative organizations
in the state has induced the large
number of Satsuma orange growers to
come into the South Texas Citrus Ex-
change, which has increased the profits
Of its members without adding to the
prices paid by consumers.

the following to say anent the man
agement of the national democratic
campaign: ''While the chairman of

Vance Mccormick, Of Pennsylvania
the real campaign manager will be
Frederick B. Lynch, of Minnesota, who
is to be chairman of the executive

pended upon to conduct mastery

That page advertisement, inserted
by Mr.. A. O. Eberhart's "St. Louis
County Voluntary Campaign Commit
tee," in the Sunday Duluth News-Tri-
bune was the rawest, rankest and most
demagogical diatribe that appeared in
any newspaper in the state during the
recent primary campaign. We are sur
prised that such an eminently respect
able newspaper as the News Tribune
would permit such rotten stuff to ap.
pear even in it's advertising columns.
But the insertion of the advertisement
in question was in keeping with the
other disreputable tactics employed by
the friends of Mr.. Eberhart to preju-
dice voters against Mr.. Kellogg.

KELLOGG VICTORIOUS.

Frank B. Kellogg is the nominee Of
the republicans of Minnesota for
United States senator. Returns al.
ready received give him a plurality of
almost 10000 over Adolph O. Eber-
hart, his closest competitor. Mr..
Kellogg's plurality is growing stead
lily, and when the complete returns are
in may exceed $4,000.
Mr.. Kellogg deserved to win. Of
the four candidates who sought the
republican nomination he is by far the
ablest, and if the voters of the state
ratify his nomination next November
Minnesota will have a senator of whom
we can all feel proud.

Relating to Loans.

The following communication re-
ceived by County Superintendent Ew-
ing from C. G. Schultz, state suparin.,
tendent Of education, will be Of inter-
est to school boards:
On May 1, 1916, the State Board
of Investment voted:
"Resolved: Inasmuch as this board
cannot pay the applications now on
file, the board will receive no further
applications after May !, 1916, until
Jan. 1, 1917" e..
The meaning of this is that the
Board Of Investment is unable to. re-
ceive any applications from school dis
tricts for loans until after the first
of January, 1917. The reason for the
boards, action is that the applications
on hand, which have been approved,
so far exceed the amount available
for loans, that no funds are made
available until after the time stated.
This department suggests that
school districts which must negotiate
loans for buildings or other extensive
improvements within the next wear or
at least the next six months by issu-
ance of bonds, make provisions for Sc.
curing the money from private per.
son, bank or bonding company. In
voting the school district bonds it will
be useless to specify that the applica
ton for loan shall be made to the
state, if the district requires the use
Of the money prior to the first of Jan.
uary. No applications will be con
sidered by the Investment Board which
are received previous to January 1,
A district may vote prior to the first
of next, January to apply for. a loan
from the state, and may file its appli.
