The New Road Laws.

Law supplements were distributed
by the Union in the early part of the
week. Chapter 119, page 4, is the
amended general road law, and it will
repay careful perusal. It will be
noticed that it provides for an OPP
tional road tax in towns payable in
money or in labor, but a cash tax of
at least three mills must be levied.
Chapter rs, page 8, was enacted to
comply with the requirements of the
Federal road law. Under it's provi-
sions county commissioners may levy
a tax to meet Federal aid.
. Chapter 259, page 9, also refers to
roads and the ditching Of roads. It's
provisions should be carefully studied
by town and county road authorities.

Must Hold Annual Fairs.

An officer of the Swift County Fair
association has written to the State
Auditor to inquire if fairs must be
given annually in order to continue to
share in state appropriations. Ray
Chase, deputy State Auditor, answered
that he found no such requirement, so
reads an item in the Minneapolis Jour-
nal.
If Mr.. Chase will carefully peruse
Chapter 243, session laws of 1915, he
will find that one of the requirements
is that fair associations must maintain
an active existence and 'hold annual
fairs" Further along in said chapter
he will find that a sworn statement
must be filed with the State Auditor
Showing the holding of annual fairs"

For a Square Deal.

A friend at South Harbor is afraid
the county commissioners will not
give the northeast end of the county
a square deal on road matters. The
commissioners are honorable men,
and, we believe, will live up to their
agreements made prior to election last
fall. We have no reason to think
otherwise.
The. Union stands for square deal
for every section of the county. At
the same time we realize that it is inn
possible to improve all the state roads
in the county in one year.

Drainage of Roads.

Attention of town and county boards
is particularly called to chapter 259,
page 9, of the law supplements. The
chapter in question provides for the
drainage of roads. Under it's provi-
sions roads may be drained and the
land benefited may be made to pay a
share Of the costs. Drainage Of roads
is all important. A road cannot be
properly maintained if the bitches
alongside of it are filled with water.
Roads will not heave up in the spring
of the year, when the frost is coming
out, if the road-bed is not saturated
with moisture. Without proper drain
ing good roads are impossible. Chap
ter 259 provides the ways and means
for the proper drainage of roads.

Illegal Fishing.

Game wardens made quite haul at
Mile Laos lake one evening last week.
More than a score Of men and boys
were arrested for spearing fish by
artificial lights. All the parties plead
guilty and were fined $1,000 and $500
costs each. Several from Princeton
were among the bunch. :.
Fishing by artificial lights is. pro-
:hibited within 500 feet of any lake,
and artificial lights. may be used in
streams only during the months of
April and October. Pickerel, suckers,
redhorse, carp and bullheads may be
taken with a spear at any time in I'M
limited quantities, but artificial lights
can be used only as above stated.

!. SPUD PRICES DROP
Slump Set in Last Thursday and
the Market Shows No Signs
of Strengthening.
Receipts Here Very Light-World-
Wide Potato Shortage Pre-
dicted for Year 1917.

Spud prices have been declining
since last Thursday, and from 81 to
$2.O5 is being paid for all varieties.
This is some drop-as high as 1910
was paid last week. -- --
Buyers say that it is, very evident
that good proportion of the people
have quit eating tubers, as there is
no, great demand. Then, too, Florida
potatoes are being marketed, which
may account in part for the slump. :
Receipts have been very light the
+ past week. There are now only five
buyers on the market, and they are
certainly not rushed to take the stock
offered. Of course roads have been
bad, but the bulk Of the stock has
been marketed.
At the present time there are not
over 20 carloads of potatoes in Prince
ton warehouses.
The Chicago market weakened last
Thursday, and the market was unset
tied Friday also with prices declining.
Receipts from Minnesota at Chicago
were heavier than from any other of the
nearby northern states, but receipts at
Minnesota stations are dwindling and
the movement will be light from now
on.

A poor potato crop in all potato
growing countries is forecast by the
provisional figures of the Internation-
al Institute Of Agriculture at Rome.
The crop is estimated at 1852, OOO,-

and Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands,
Canada, the United States, Switzer-

New School for Princeton.

New School for Princeton.
The board Of education of Princeton
has given notice that ethe question of
voting bonds for the erection of a
new high school building will be SUBJ
mitted to the voters of the district on
May 16. w.. 49,. ~,
There seems to be no valid argu-
ment against the proposition.
, The needs of the district are un-
questionable. The facts that have
been stated in this paper heretofore
leave no doubt in the minds of all
progressive citizens that new build
ing is needed. At present two rooms
are rented in tie Armory for grades
and the conditions there are wholly
unsuited for school purposes. No
room is available for a normal depart
ment which will enable the district to
draw special aid Of $1,000 per year.
Two rooms are needed for manual
training, two for domestic science and
two for agriculture. These subjects
will add nearly $4,000 more of state
aid. It is evident that new school
building that will house the up-to-date
school subjects will enable the schools
to secure more than $4,000, more spe-
cial aid than they receive this year.
The interest on $4,000 of bonds will
amount to $4,000 per year. The in
creased aid will pay all interest on
the bonds and leave $4,000 to apply
on the bonds themselves. The 5000
now spent for rent will be still fur
Their saving.
But aside from all monetary con-
siderations, the people of Princeton
can no longer afford to submit to
such school conditions as they now
have. It is surely hard for US to ad-
nit that ours is the only high school
system in the state that has not yet
introduced any Of the manual subjects.
When 229 villages and cities out of
23O maintaining high schools, have
offered these practical subjects to their
children, it seems unbelievable that
Princeton should hesitate for a mo-
ment to give it's children the same OPP
portunities as other children of the
state enjoy.
The board is very conservative in it's
request and there PROBABLY will be no
opposition to voting $4,000 Of bonds,
as it seemed to be the general opinion
that $4,000 to 100000 would be
asked. Under their plan a new sys-
tenn will not cause any increase of
taxation and the schools will cost the
people Of the district less than they
do now. The citizens of Princeton
should show their loyalty to their
village and make the vote practically
unanimous for the bonds.

COnscriptioner Visits Zimmerman.

One or two Of the young men Of
Zimmerman, it appears, had made
their cracks that it would be a cold
day when they shouldered rifle for
Uncle Sam. This was enough to start
Ed. Foley's imagination to working,
and he evolved a plan, and carried it
c!out, that brought unexpected results.
Passage Of the selective draft act
afforded him his opportunity. And
the fact that a pompous travelling man
: stayed over at the hotel in that burg
Sunday was also fortunate albeit
somewhat unfortunate for the hotel.
Ed. had few minutes Conversation
with the travelling man and then
faded away.
Mr.. Man Immediately went to the
phone and called Geo. Right, and in
formed him that he was wanted at the
hotel. The same message was given
over the wire to two other chaps.
Right reached the hotel first, swag-
gered in, and introduced himself.
GLOW are you," said the stranger,
"My name is Mr.. Blank
'"Fine!" replied George. .
"Glad to hear it," exclaimed the
stranger, and added: II represent the
CONSUMPTION department of the United
States, and I am here to select some
boys for trench duty. How are your
teeth?" Rights lower jaw sagged
down about six inches revealing per-
feet set Of worries. "You are chosen"
snapped the Foley-appointed con-
scriptioner, "and you report at Fort
Smelling tomorrow at 4 o'clock. Get
me?"
The other two young men had ar
rived while this examination was go
ing on, and they cast longing glances
at the door. But they were also ex-
amined and chosen and told to report
at headquarters with Right.
They all left and prepared to de-
part for Smelling.
A young damsel acting as cook, in
the hotel, had watched the proceedings
with eyes, mouth and ears open.
Nothing had escaped her. "Say," she
gasped at the government agent, edo
you want married men, too?" "Not
yet" he replied. Upstairs she rushed,
packed her clothing, and then very
promptly and, with a fnality that
nothing could shake, resigned. Efforts
to persuade her that it was a joke
. were wasted. She. engaged an auto
mobile and soon was at the home of
her sweetheart in the country. The
following day the two were married

Farmers Non-Partisan League.

There are what purports to be
two Farmers Non-Partisan Leagues
in Minnesota-one is an importation
from North Dakota which costs SIG
or $18 to join, and the other is Min
nesota product with John A. Stone
burg of Cambridge at it's head, and
the entrance fee is only $500.
Just what either of the leagues ex-
poets to accomplish for the farmers
is not quite clear. But it is very
evident that the Dakota bunch is out
for the stuff.
Our advice to the farmers would be
to save their money. Any legislation
the farmers Of Minnesota want enact
ed they can have for the asking.

Funeral Services Of the Late John
w. Goulding Held Sunday
Largely Attended.
Miss Anna Erickson Passed Peacefully
Away in This Village Last
IS Sunday Evening

Funeral services of the late J. W..
Goulding, brief mention of whose
death was made in our last issue, were
onducted from the family residence
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and
were largely attended. A delegation
Of q members Of the local L. O. O. F.
lodge, Of which deceased had been a
faithful member almost quarter of
century, attended in body. Rev.
p. H. Peatfeld delivered an appro-
pirate sermon, and paid deserved
tribute to the worth of the deceased,
as well as uttering words of comfort
to the bereaved relatives. A quartet
composed of Messrs. H. A. Garrison,
J. W. Mossman, H. J. Plaas and Gro
yer Umbehocker also sang two beau
tiful selections. .-..
!. The procession that accompanied
the remains to their final resting place
in Oak Knoll cemetery was long one.
At the grave a prayer was read by
Rev. Peatfeld, and then the impressive
ritualistic service of the 10. o. F.
lodge was carried out-John Bishop
reading the noble grand part and DR..
L. B. Mallette that of the chaplain. =
John w. Goulding was born at
Pomeroy, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1916, so at the
time of his death was II years,
months and "a days old. He accom-
panied his parents to Minnesota in
1855, and the family came to Prince
ton two years later, having lived at
st. Francis in the meantime. For
ten years the Gouldings conducted
the old American house.
On May 81, 1865, Mr.. Goulding was
united in marriage to Miss Abbie
Rines, and it was indeed a happy
union. Besides the widow, four chill
dren survive him, viz: Mrs. Charlotte
Goss, Cass Lake; Mrs. Belle Dickey
and Fred Goulding of Princeton, and
Frank Goulding of California. One
sists1Mrs. n p. Jesmer Of Seattle
Wash.sz-also survives.
When young man Mr.. Goulding
was engaged in numbering and farm
ing. He took an active part in public
affairs; has filled town and village
offices, and in 1890 was elected regis
ter of deeds Of Mile Laos county, a
position he held for ten years. At the
time of his death he was president of
the Security State Bank. t-
John w. Goulding was a man of
pronounced convictions, but he was an
all around good citizen and will be
greatly missed, especially by the old
settlers by whom he was highly re-
garded.

Village Council Meets.

The village council met in regular
session last evening. All members
were present with the exception of
Councilman Gottwerth, and Mayor
Olson presided.
The minutes Of the last meeting
were read and approved.
The st. Cloud Power Co. desires to
supply our village with electricity, be-
ing prepared to put in either direct
or alternating current. The company
is willing to purchase the Princeton
plant, and asked that meeting of our
citizens be called to consider the prop
osition. No action was taken in the
matter but a meeting may be called
in the near future.
: Chief Davis of the fire department
reported that 400 feet of hose was un-
fit for service and asked the council to
purchase 500 feet Of new hose. It was
decided to call for bids from local and
outside dealers.
Mr.. Davis also asked that the vii
lage pay the expenses of two delegates
from the local company to the state
convention at Montevideo in June.
The matter was laid over so that the
council could ascertain what it would
cost to send the delegates.
County Commissioner Cater ap-
peared before the council, and asked
that the village defray part of the cost
of improving the two and one-half
miles of streets in Princeton, which
were recently designated state high
ways. The matter was laid over for
further consideration. -
T. F. Scheen appeared before the
council and asked that something be
done to provide drainage for the
water that accumulates around the
potato warehouse of w. B. Northrup
& Co. The council will investigate the
proposition. r. .
Mayor Olson, who was appointed a
committee of one to investigate the
matter Of putting in street light near
Alfonso Towards, reported that he
had looked the ground over, but it was
decided to defer action.
Mayor Olson also reported that bust
ness men had asked that an ordinance
be passed to compel itinerant mer-
chants to pay license while operat-
ing here, and also that said merchants
be compelled to deposit a sufficient
amount to guarantee taxes. The mat
ter was laid over for further consider
alton.
All of the petitions presented at the
last meeting were again laid over.
On motion Of Councilman Newton,
the village marshal was instructed to
post cleanup notices at all places in
the village where the winter accumu-
lation Of ashes, tin cans, rubbish, etc.,
have not been removed. The dumping
of ashes in the street was also pro-
hibited.
After acting on the usual grist of
bills the council adjourned.

Miss Anna Erickson.

Miss Anna Geneva Erickson, be-
loved Princeton young lady, succumbed
to tuberculosis at the home of Mrs.
Hans Ecklund in this village Sunday
evening. -~-
Miss Erickson was taken sick with
a cold about the first of the year, while
attending the West High in Minneap-
oils. It is thought she failed to realize
that something more serious might set
in, and neglected to endeaver to check
it in the early stages when this would
have been comparatively easy. Her
condition gradually grew worse, and
since the latter part of February she
had been confined to her bed.
Funeral services were conducted
from the Methodist church this morn
ing by Rev. James A. Geer, and the
remains were taken to Cambridge
where services were also conducted in
the Swedish Lutheran church. Inter
ment was in the church cemetery,
where the young ladies' mother lies at
rest. = -
Deceased was born in Spring Vale,
Isanti county, March Fl, 1898, and ac-
companied her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Erickson, to this village II
years ago. She attended the Prince
ton schools until last fall, when she
enrolled as student in the West High
of Minneapolis.
None knew Miss Erickson but to
esteem her, and that she should be re-
moved in the spring time Of life is in
truth sad.
Besides the father she is survived
by three brothers, viz: Roy L., Floyd
H., and Herbert W.
