London, March 20.-Three Officers
and five seamen from one Of the Bel.
gian relief steamers which had letters
Of safe conduct from the German lega'
ton in Amsterdam were killed when
the ship was attacked by q German
submarine and shelled.
There is some confusion over the
identity of the steamer. Reuters re-.
ports from Stavanger say it was the
selein, which is not listed in available
shipping records. The ship may have
been the Selone.
When the attack came, the ship did
not stop, but lowered a lifeboat, into
which the first, second and third mates
and five members of the crew took to
the open seas. The boat was struck
by q shell from the submarine.

DEMONSTRATED AT SULPHUR

Sulphur, Okla, July 21.-The BUY
It Made at Home" movement was dem.
onstrated in a practical and convincing
way yesterday. Members of the Civic
League, more than seventy-five in num-
ber, met in the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce in regular session for the
month Of July. Secretary Harris had
arranged an exhibit from the mill os
the Sulphur Milling Co, composed Of

meal. In the center OF this was pyra-
mid Of small individual loaves of bread
made from the flour on display and
baked by a local baker Each member
OF the league was presented with loaf
Of bread to take home. Mr.. Harris made
strong appeal for the patronizing of
the home merchant and ended by using
the slogan which he is trying to have
adopted in this state, Buy II In Your
Home Town If You Can" but Buy 1t

Red Cross Membership Drive

A nationwide Christmas member
ship drive has been planned by the
Red cross war council The building
up Of the Red Cross membership to
Is 100000 is the goal of the cam
paign. This means an addition of
approximately 100000 names to the
muster roll. The drive is to start on
December II and continue INCREASINGLY
until Christmas eve. "Make it a Red
Cross Christmas" is to be the recruit
ing slogan.
AS this is the country's first Christ
mas in the world war, it is felt that
the people will be thinking of service
rather than festivities, and that minds
generally will be turned to the battle
fields in Europe, and especially to our
own soldiers and sailors. It is be-
lieved, therefore, that the country will
be in a frame Of mind at Christmas
time to give expression to all it's
anxiety and hope by reviewing evil
dences OF it's support of the Red Cross.
We, here in Princeton, are far short
Of the number Of members we should
have-the number in Mile Laos county
is pltifully small compared to what
prosperous county such as ours should
show. Let us be in earnest about max
ing it Red Cross Christmas. Enlist
every member of the family in the
great army Of the Red Cross to stand
back of our army preparing for or al
ready in the thick Of the fight!

Mrs. Carolina Bender.

Mrs. Carolina Bender died at the
home of her son-in-law and daughter
MIR. and Mrs. A. E. Allen, in Prince

aged 81 years months. The cause of
death was due to ailments resulting
from old age.

Chaska, Mrs. Bender's former resi-
dence, where funeral services were
held and the burial took place.
Mrs. Bender was born in Germany
on August Is, 1885, and came to the
United States many years ago. Her
husband died in 1902. She is survived
by five sons and three daughters, viz:

Will Make "a Hit.

"The Court of King Cole," for the
benefit of the Red Cross society, will
make it's initial bow before the people
of Princeton tomorrow friday even
ing, and very courtly bow it will be,
too. Everything is now practically in
readiness for this popular perfor-
nance and, take it from me, it's all
right. The leads are letter perfect in
their parts, and the chorus well, it's
winner. The Humpty Dumpties are
we'll up in their terpsichorean and
acrobatic stunts, and the merry shep-
herdess girls certainly set the pace
that kills in the conscientious hard
work in their different stunts.
The show will be clowned by the
Humpty Dumpties, Messrs. Henry
Plaas and Raleigh Herdliska.
The society stunt, "Girl from Sher-
rvs" is in the hands of DR.. Stacey
and Mrs. S. P. Skahen.
The principals will be supported by
large and powerful chorus too nu-
merous to mention at this time. of
which the Spanish girls, Indian braves,
college boys and speciality people will
appear in their different musical skits.
The production has been playing to
capacity houses in the neighboring
cities, most houses being sold out on
the first day of sale.
The cast appears elsewhere in this.

member Of the. St. Cloud Reformatory
hoard by Governor Merriam in 1889
and was reappointed by Governor Mel
son and served continuously until the
board was superseded by the State
Board of Control in 1901. He also at
various times served as justice of the
peace, assessor, census superintendent
deputy clerk Of court, and for six years
on the village Water, Light, Power
land Building Commission.
/ He was one of the charter members
OF She Mile Laos County Agricultural
Society and until the day of his death
took an active interest in the affairs
of the society.
Judge Keith was an honored mem
Der of the State Historical Society and
attended most of it's meetings regular
ly. He prided himself on the fact that
he was descended from revolutionary
stock, and was member of the Sons
Of the American Revolution and had
served as president of the state Or
ganization. A treasured heirloom was
an old flint-lock blunderbuss that one
of his progenitors carried in the war
of the revolution.
Politically Judge Keith was an old
line democrat, but never bitter par
tisan, and ever and always placed the
interests of his country above those
of his party. He made no parade of
his patriotism but he was intensely
patriotic just the same, and the last
public work that he was actively en-
gagged in was as chairman of the coun-
ty Liberty loan committee and further
ing the cause of the Red Cross and
Y. M. C. A.
Rather reserved in his manner,
Judge Keith did not make friends
easily, but those who knew him best
liked him best. His word was as good
as his bond. His business associates
had unlimited confidence in his judy
ment. He was, indeed, loyal public
spirited citizen and contributed much
toward the upbuilding of Princeton
and Mile Laos county. His death
leaves an aching void in the hearts
of his friends.
