Of Farmers clubs will be held in the
high school building at Milaca on Fri
day, March 9.
The directors of the organization
will meet in the mohnlng, and the af-
ternoon meeting will be participated
in by all members and farmers who
desire to attend. Reports Of the var
ious Individual clubs will be heard,
also the report Of the progress made
by the Federation the past year.
Prof. A. D. Wilson, director Of the ex-
tension division of the university will
be present and deliver an address.
The meeting promises to be very
interesting one, and many valuable
pointers will doubtless be picked up

A Pleasing Entertainment.


The entertainment given at the Con-
gregational church, Monday evening,
under the auspices Of the Civic Better
ment club was greatly enjoyed by a
good audience.
The high school orchestra opened
the program with a number of well
chosen selections, which admirably
paved the way for the principal at
traction Of the evening, the reading
of ''The Music Master" by Miss Ber-
tina Maude Pratt Of Minneapolis.
During this reading Miss Pratt was
so imbued with the spirit of this beau
tifully pathetic masterpiece of Chas.
Klein's, that her hearers forgot that
they were not really beholding the
personages themselves that come and
go through the action of the story.
So successfully did she merge herself
into the personality of the characters
that each seemed to step forth from
the pages and appear before the audi
ence. 81.
Before. her reading Miss Pratt gave
several Of her whistling numbers
which were enthusiastically received.
The sweet strains played by the
high school orchestra very fittingly
closed the evening.

labor. From this sort of labor there
can be no possible return in cash vet
it is necessary that certain amount
of such labor be performed. The pro-
portion Of maintenance labor is con-
siderably less on we'll equipped live
stock farms where diversified farming
is followed, than it is on farms that
specialize largely in grain-raising.
The reason for this is that where
livestock is cared for good part Of
the farm labor is employed in the win
ter on enterprises that return cash for
the work performed. It is difficult in
the winter on grain farms to find
|profit-bearing employment for very
much labor. If one looks ahead to the
summers work, however, he can find
numerous places in which he can pre-
pare for the rush seasons and save the
time of men and teams when labor is
really valuable. With careful planning
one can estimate year in advance
approximately the amount of labor
that will have to be provided.
Two new bulletins of the Minnesota
Experiment Station, Numbers 1877 and
1852, deal with the question of labor
requirements for crops and livestock.
They will be found very useful in MAX
ing estimates as the time of the year
when labor will be required and as to
the amount required for the different
classes of crops and animals Andrew

This article was not written with
the intention Of or desire to influence
any voters. In village affairs all voters
are as well acquainted with the quail
fications of the candidates, no matter
who they happen to be, as the Union.
Our only desire is that the best men
that can be secured will be chosen to
direct the affairs of the village. And
Princeton voters usually see that that
is the case.
In conclusion it might be we'll to
urge that the very minimum of bitter
ness be allowed to crop out. No mat
ter who is elected the village will exist,
and the days Of no one will be short
ened. If the result does not please
you smile, and think Of the other fell
low who is saturated with satisfaction.

A Close Game.


The Princeton high school basket
ball team travelled to Milaca Friday
and opposed the quint representing
that school. One of the closest games
ever staged in this section was the
result. The contest was a hummer and
it was anybody's game until the last
minute of the play. The final count
was % to %.
Milaca had the edge during the first
half, and walked off with the honors
II to 7.
Princeton attained it's stride in the
final period, however, and forged into
the lead. The teams raced neck and
neck, with Princeton having slight
lead, until the last minute of play.
Just as the time-keeper was preparing
to blow the whistle announcing the
end, one Of the Milaca performers
pulled off sensational field goal from
the center Of the floor, and Princeton
was defeated by the narrow margin OF
one point. -
Kaliher, Winsor and Briggs figured
in the scoring, while Davis and Herd
liska did defensive work that counted.
Neil Grow, one of the local stars, was
not in the game.
Hereunder appears the lineup of
the two teams.

STYLES In Fat Ladies'.

Fat ladies are still quite popular and
take up a lot Of space in the public
eye. By their waist lines We shall
know them.
Eat ladies come in all sizes, young
and old, rich and poor. A pleasant
variety is the fat lady who declares
that she doesn't believe in dieting, as
it tnterferes with ones health.
Romantic fat ladies continue to be

VILLAGE ELECT ION
Promises to Be Quiet, Although There
May Be a Three Cornered
Mayorality Contest.
Candidates Must File on or Before
Tuesday, March the 9Th, With
Village Recorder Cravens.

The indications are that the annual
village election to be held Tuesday,
March 18th, will not furnish great
deal of excitement, although there
may be three-cornered fight for the
presidency Of the council. Wet or dry
will not be an issue, as the county op-
ton election Of couple Of years ago
put this proposition to sleep so far as
Princeton is concerned,
Mayor Newbert will be a candidate
for reelection, and DR.. Neumann has
announced his intention of filing.
While Mayor Newbert has made a
very satisfactory president Of the
council, there are those who are dis
satisfied. This is not to be wondered
at, in fact it would be surprising if
such was not the case. Seldom, if
ever, did a public official succeed in
satisfying all.
Numerous of those who do not rel
ish Mr.. Newbert, are not particularly
captivated by DR.. Neumann either, and
the result may be third candidate
Messrs. Newbert and Neumann are
not without friends, to be sure, and
a three-cornered contest would pre-
cipitate considerable doubt as to the
outcome.
A caucus is advertised for the
Armory this evening, and if there is
to be third candidate he will un-
doubtedly be brought forth then.
That there will be changes in the
council is certain. Councilman T. M
Olsen absolutely refuses to seek re.
election. Tom was appointed to fill
out the unexpired term of the late j
A. Smith. He has proven himself tc
be valuable member of the govern.
ing board Of the village, and had he
decided to file there would have been
no doubt of his election
| Messrs. G. H. Gottwerth and Geo
Ross will be candidates to succeed
themselves as members of the council
Both have proven themselves to be
forward looking men, and have made
records that they need not apologize
for.
Archie Jones is being urged by his
friends to seek place on the council
and other names have been mentioned
in that connection. ..--.-. ...
Recorder Cravens will file for re-
election, as will Treasurer Herdliska
and Assessor Howard. AS yet there
has been no talk of opposition to these
officials, and they may have unham-
pered sailing. .-s .... r..
Justice King will come before the
voters at this election, and it is also
doubtful if he encounters opposition.
Those who desire to seek election to
any, of these Offices must file with
Recorder Cravens on or before mid
night of March S. The filing fee is
$1.00 and hereunder appears dupli-
cate Of the affidavit that must be
signed by candidates.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-In.sofar as
 fundamental basis upon which emer- gency military and naval defense prep arations must rest" the United States is in far better position than any other nation has ever been in times of peace" in the opinion of Guy D. Tripp, chairman of the board of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufac- turing company. In a statement here today MT. Tripp said:
 50 far as my knowledge goes, there are in this country greater facilities already established, operated by large organizations having experience in the manufacture of munitions of war than has ever before existed in any country not actually at war.
 ''In our own company alone we have facilities immediately available which have a proven capacity of 1000 six inch high explosive shells per day, and there will be available on April 1 ad- ditional facilities with a proven cap acity of 5000 .eight-inch and 125 tWelve-inch explosive shells per day.
 "The New England Westinghouse company, which is now engaged in manufacturing rifles for Russia has an ultimate capacity of between 6,000 and 1000 per day.

NEW YORK, Feb. I3.-The National league and the Baseball Players Frat ernity came to the parting of the ways nere late today while Manager John ]. McGraW of the New York National league club and President David L. Fultz Of the players association were ln secret conference endeavoring to reach common ground upon which the so-called strike of the players could be compromised. The senior or Sanlzatlon passed unanimously a reSo- luton abrogating the agreement made with the fraternity at Cincinnati on January $, 1914, and when McGraw returned to the meeting il first ap- peared as if his self-impOsed mission had been in vain.
 Later. when President Tener of the National league read the resolution to the newspaper representatives, he ex- plalned that no discrimination was to be made against any player who might have been or continued to be a mem Der of the fraternity, but that the league would no longer recognize the organization and that all dealings in the future would be with the players as individuals.
 As this was the principal request made by Fultz in his conference with NNIiaW dS d guarantee DotOre taking steps looking toward the lifting of the strike order insofar as it affected the ma1or leagues, it appeared that his re- quest had received consideration.
 That the magnates realized the seri- ousnesS Of the Situationthat faces base oall both from internal and interna- uonal complications, was shown by the fact that the baseball writers were called into the meeting of the league Tor one of the very few times in the 1orty-o years of it's existence and the following resolution was read. aft er which the magnates stated that they were ready to answer any questions that might be asked:
 Whereas, the ball players fraternity has violated the letter and spirit of an agreement between national agreement leagues, clubs and players, entered into Of date January 6, 1914, therefore be it.
 Resolved by the National league of professional baseball clubs that insofar as the league is concerned this agree ment be and is hereby abrogated and all relations between this league and said fraternity are. hereby severed and terminated
 When the resolution was shown to Fultz he refused to state what action the fraternity would take until he had consulted other officers of the organi- zation. Before he left McGraw. ar engagements were made to meet again tomorrow when Fultz hoped to go be- fore the National league. but the ac- ton of that organization virtually barred the way for such a move
