Guarding Against Auto Theft.

Hon. Marley L. Fosseen Of Mime
apolis offers this suggestion, which
seems to be a good and feasible one,
with reference to marking automo-
biles in order to prevent or minimize
the stealing thereof:
My idea would be to have uniform
law passed by the different states
similar to our negotiable instrument
act, or better still if a law could be
passed, compelling all automobile
manufacturing companies to place the
number Of the engine in raised num-
bers in two or three prominent places,
also two Or three places upon the body,
and making it. unlawful for any person
to destroy or mar. said numbers, and
making it unlawful for any person to
either sell or purchase any automobile
upon which numbers have been
marred, destroyed or attempted to be
replaced, without proper Identification
of the seller by bill of sale signed in
the presence of two known witnesses
and certified to by notary public.
Any and all cars whose numbers are
destroyed in any manner to become
public property and sold by proper
authority, unless the party in posses
sion is able to prove his absolute
ownership by showing the title. All
funds from the sale of cars so sold
by proper authority at law shall be
placed in proper fund to be returned
to the rightful owner within reason
able time after such sale, a proper
fund created for the purpose Of paying
proper bounty for the apprehension of
guilty parties, similar to our present
horse stealing bounty law.

Mr.. Oberg, who was proceeding

the feshy part Of the right hand. In
its upward range the missile cut a
groove in the mans right cheek and
grazed his ear.
He can thank his stars that the

FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
N. p. Train Crashes Into Automobile
at Elk River-One Dead and
Two SEVERELY Injured,

N. 4. IRAN CRASHES 1NlO AuIOInODllo
at Elk River-One Dead and
Two Severely Injured.
On the morning of the 9th inst. a
Northern Pacific passenger train at
Elk River crashed into Buick auto
mobile and three people were seriously
injured, one of whom has since died.
1t appears that the automobile was
driven by Andrew L. Davis-he was
taking his two sisters and brother to
school. The side curtains were on and
somewhat obstructed the view of the
driver and other occupants Of the car
and they failed to note the approach
Of the train as they were crossing the
track until it was almost upon them.
Mr.. Davis applied the emergency
brake and stopped the car in the CEN
ter of the track; had he dashed ahead
he would probably have cleared the
locomotive. The car was whirled
around and carried for a distance Of
about thirty feet along the track. Mr.
DAVIS had TWO ribs broken and suS-
tanned other injuries. Lewis, who was
riding on the running board of the
car, jumped and escaped unscathed;
the two girls, Lucy and Gertrude,
were not so Fortunate; each had a
leg fractured, and Lucy, it appears,
was internally injured. She was op-
Grated on and fingered until Thursday
night, when she died. The funeral was
held Saturday and was largely at
tended. Much sympathy is felt and
expressed for the bereaved family.
Andrew and Gertrude twill recover
the former is considered out of danger.
The automobile was total wreck.
The wonder is that all four were not
killed. '''.>s>,. '-.<, .-:, :., /

Bentall Found Guilty.

Jacob O.. Bentall, socialist candidate
for governor last year, was found
guilty in the U. S. district court at
Minneapolis yesterday Of advising and
urging his farmland not to register
for the 5select1ve draft. He will proba-
bly, spend the next twelve months in
durance vile. Another Indictment is
pending against Bentall in which he
is charged with seditious utterances at
Hutchinson. It is high time that fell
lows Of the Bentall stripe were made
to understand that they cannot with
impunity preach sedition and violate
the laws of the United States.

A Patriotic DUTY.

Princeton is patriotic. Nearly all OF
her young men are serving in some
branch Of the Federal service in con
nection with the war, and they are
about all volunteers. Now let us back
up our boys by subscribing literally
to the Liberty Loan. It is duty we
owe. to our boys and our country to
assist in furnishing the wherewithal
to carry on the war to a successful
conclusion. Let US show our brave
boys that we are standing solidly
behind them. Let each one subscribe
according to his or her means; there
is hardly any one who cannot afford

The Potato Situation.

For the past week the potato mar
ket has been active and on some days
wild the range Of prices fuctuating
spasmodically. Table stock has
ranged from rs to IS cents and Ohios
have, in consequence of a shortage in
the Red River valley, been placed in
the seed potato category and the price
has averaged $1.10. Triumphs have
had a range Of from $1.35 to $1.6O.
A few special loads in all varieties
brought higher prices than those above
enumerated. H.. ..@s-.@
From the last issue of the Union to
this date several thousand loads of
potatoes have been purchased by
Princeton buyers, but a shortage of
cars still prevails and, consequently,
the warehouses have large quantities
awaiting shipment. The demand from
outside markets is good but there is
no way of fully supplying them.
The United States department of
agriculture says that practically every
state in the Union has been ffected by
the blight and that in Maine, New
York and Pennsylvania there will
practically be only three-fourths Of a
crop. Combined with other unfavor-
able conditions, the department says,
the estimated crop for the United
States has been reduced 100000
bushels and that there is threatened
scarcity. &..-. ..-
In the territory surrounding Prince
ton blight has asserted itself only in
a small degree, but growers tell us
that frost caused considerable damage
to the potatoes which were undug.

A Blackeye for Prohibition.

The result of the vote on the prohi-
bition constitutional amendment in
Iowa on Tuesday is still in doubt. In
a total vote of over 100000
there will not be more than one thous-
and votes either way. Iowa was sup
posed to be rock-ribbed prohibition
state, and no matter what the outcome
may be the closeness of the vote will
be regarded as a victory for the vets.
This is not an opportune time to force
contentious side issues. The winning
of the war is the paramount issue at
present.

sWhat the War Loan Means

Excerpts from "What the War Loan
Means in the New Republic:
The money raised by the Liberty
loan is to be spent in this country.
The money they borrow abroad can
serve only to pay for goods and ser
vices. If our allies carried away the
money they borrow from us they
would be under the necessity of send
ing it back again. And as matters
stand the principal source of goods
and services is the United States.
The farmer is expected to subscribe
and the government in turn expects
to buy heavily Of the products of the
farm. -
Capitalists and laborers in the tex
tile and leather industries are ex-
pected to subscribe to the loan, and
much Of the loan will be expended on
army uniform, tent cloth, shoes and
harness.
Financing the war means turning
over to the government goods and SER
vices in exchange for the govern
ment's promise to pay. Not the rich
alone, but the poor as we'll; not the
centers of trade alone, but the regions
of primary production as we'll, are I'M
der obligation to help finance the war.
When a man of small income uses
part of it to subscribe to the loan his
contribution to the national power is
immediate.
When rich man invests of his in
come in the loan the result is less d.
rect. He refrains from buying paint
ings and statuary, he builds less ex-
pensively, entertains less lavishly. All
this releases few products for use in
war. But the purchasing power he
places at the government disposition
represents an additional demand for
labor in the production of war goods.
Rich and poor alike must serve the
loan if the government is to have at
its command the goods and services
required to win the war. y~
Rockefeller may own a billion dol
lars worth of property but with the
best of will he could not contribute
a billion to the war loan. Suppose
that he sold all he has to put the pro-
ceeds into the loan. The sale would
have absorbed other persons purchas-
ing power to the extent of a billion
dollars and these other persons would
have been placed in a position in which
they could not subscribe to the loan.
Rockefeller can put into the loan no
more than his annual income-or so
much as is not required for indispensa-
bic capital extensions.
What this means is that the war is
