HOME MIXED FEEDS.

National Crop Improvement Service j
When man undertakes to mix his
own ratiOns, what does he do? He
buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed
meal as a common example. There
are great many different grades of
cottonseed meal, and the man who is
looking for low-priced feed is sure
to get a low grade. The demand for
cheap feeding ingredients has caused
the quality to be gradually whitfield
down. Consequently the farmer
nearly always works with feeds which
are poorer than he believes them to
be. He does not get adequate state
protection because inspectors do not
go to farmers barn to draw sam
pies, and even if they did, it would be
hard to get a complete chain of evil
dence
A farmer has no facilities for hav-
ing his feed analysed and he doesn't
know what he is working with. The
analyses of mixed feeds costs about
ten cents per ton, and if every farmer
will read the various bulletins from
the agricultural colleges he will soon
know those brands which can be de-
pended upon. There is no doubt that
at the present prices of grain any
farmer can save money by selling his
cereal crops and buying mixed feed
Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed
meal are all high, but the by-products
of barley and rye are all more reason
able in price.
Corn has become costly largely due
to the demand for pork and beef
Americans will have those meats at
almost any price. This puts corn on
a meat basis, and the dairy business
will have to fall back on the by-prod-
ucts of grains.

Return ENLARGEMENT.

The fats and the leans of the Mar
ried Mems Dancing club will clash
again at the Armory this evening, and
elaborate arrangements for same are
under way.
Both teams are undergoing rigid
system of training. The leans have
adopted diet of raw wild cat flesh,
with electricity for wash and they
are now in remarkable form.
Those who are inclined to- stake a
few plunks on the outcome should see
the referee. He has roll that would
keep a family supplied with potatoes
several days, and is ready to place his
last jitney on the fats. 49,
That it will be a thrilling exhibition
is foregone conclusion, and as the
price of admission is only ten cents,
those who desire a seat should be on
hand early. Play will start promptly
at 8 o'clock.
A dance will follow the game, and
Cafarella's popular orchestra of four
pieces from Minneapolis will discourse
the latest dance melodies.

A teachers institute is being held in
Princeton this week, and it is the first
one in the history of Mile Laos coun-
ty. The first session opened Tues
day, and almost all schools in Mile
Laos county are represented teach
ers being enrolled.
The institute was called by the late
County Superintendent Guy Ewing, for
last October, but owing to the change
in office was postponed.

stitute and County Superintendent
Wasenius informs us that it has been
a success in every way.

Cashier, to Live Here.

A deal was completed yesterday
whereby Messrs. Geo. E. Stubbins of
Granville, N. D., J. A. Jorgensen of
Minneapolis, and w. H. Smith of Cor
wight, Iowa, became owners of the
Princeton State Bank, and they have
taken charge Of the affairs of that
financial institution:
Mr.. Stubbins is president, and Mr..
Jorgensen is vice-president of the con-
Germ, while Mr. Smith is cashier. The
two last named gentlemen will make
their home here, and expect to have
their families join them in the near
future. Both are married, and each
has daughter.
The president is well-known finan-
cier. He owns the State Bank of
Granville, N. D., the First State Bank
of Norwich, N. D., the Stubbins Land

judgment.
Mr.. Smith is an experienced banker,
and young man of ability. He has
successfully conducted the affairs of
various banks in South Dakota and
Iowa. That he possesses the conf
dence Of his fellow citizens at Cor

that he is mayor Of that city.
The new owners are pleasant gen.
tlemen to meet and impress one as
being conservative business men. We
have no doubt but that they will meet
with success here. Needless to state,
Princeton will accord a cordial well
come to the two families that will be-
come a part of our village.

that time. It has ever been we'll man.
aged, and enjoys an excellent reputa-
ton in banking circles. Ill health
compelled Mr.. Skahen to relinguish
active charge Of the bank, some
months ago, and he is now in a posi-
ton to take well-earned rest.
Attorney S. P. Skahen, who has his
office in the bank, will continue to oc-
cupy those quarters for the present.

to learn yesterday that he had joined
the great majority at his home in Min

when the end came.

that township. Six years ago he was
united in marriage to Miss Sigma
Weeks, and one daughter blessed the
union. The widow and child survive.
Mr.. Torell operated a farm south of
Cambridge the year following his mar
rage, and then farmed in Wyanett.
Three years ago he moved with his
family to Minneapolis, and has been a
member of the police force of that
city more than year.

Milaca DOwned.

At the Milaca school ''gymn'' last
evening bunch of basket ball play
ers from Princeton met and defeated
by score of IL to 10, picked team
from that village The Princeton ag-
gregation was in reality made up
mostly Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Gar
rison, Wilkes and Mallette being in
the Princeton lineup. Tom Olsen
manager Of the G team made his de-
but as a player, and filled in as fifth
man. Professors Thompson, Gray
Handke and Watson were in the Mil
AGA lineup. .
The teams were we'll matched and
the game started with rush. What
the players lacked in basket ball cul-
ture they made up in surplus energy
and dash.
Princeton won the first half by a
count of Z to II, and carried off the
honors Of the final period to the tune
of to 5. In the second half Mallette
was replaced by Smith and Olson re-
tired in favor of Maggart.
Garrison was in great form and
scored all of Princeton's points in the
first half.
E. J. VanRhea was the arbitrator,
and was absolutely fair. The Prince
ton boys report the most courteous
treatment on the part of the Milaca
crowd, players and official.

Lose Close Contest.

One Of the closest basket ball con-
tests ever staged in Princeton was
pulled off on the Armory floor Friday
evening when the Ascension Athletic
club managed to squeeze out Of game
with the Co. G quint three points to
the good. The contest was cracker
jack. The teams were about as evenly
matched as could be, and there was
plenty of snappy action. The final
count was Fl to IS.
The visitors had the edge during the
first half, and negotiated four field
goals to three for Princeton. Smith
counted twice for the locals. and Nor
ton once.
In the last period, however, Prince
ton got to going and until the final
minutes of play had things coming
fine: The two point lead obtained by
the visitors during the first half was
wiped out, and lead for Princeton
substituted. Prospects were bright
for Princeton victory, but during the
last few minutes the MINNEAPOLIS per-
formers took a brace, and put the game
on ice by negotiating three baskets in
rapid succession. At that it was any,
body's game until the time-keeper's
whistle announced that it was over.

NOTES..

Princeton has plenty of good ma
terial and strong team has been
developed.
Smith, Garrison and Maggart each
tossed two field goals during the last
half. 49,. ~
The Ascensions are fast five, but
the locals are confident that they can
take their measure in another contest.
If a second game is scheduled it will
be well worth witnessing.
Garrison is a valuable acquisition to
the local lineup.
Next week the powerful Temple
quint of Minneapolis will oppose Co
G, and the locals expect to "brine
home the bacon"

MARKET ADVANCES.
Spud Prices Jump the First of the
Week-Active Movement.

A substantial increase in potato
prices resulted in renewed activity
Tuesday, and about 200 loads were
marketed that day. Yesterday the
receipts were about the same, and as
the high prices are still in effect a
brisk movement is expected today.
From $1.90 to So is being paid. for
eating stock-record prices Tri-
umphs bring from So to $2.1O.
There was nothing much doing in
the spud line on Friday and Saturday
of last week, and the market continued
quiet Monday. A 20-cent raise in
prices Tuesday started things moving,
and another Scent raise yesterday
did not slow the movement up any.
Heavy frosts in Florida last week,
combined with the recent cold weather
and the car shortage are given by
local buyers as the reasons for the in
crease. - =, - .-.
Seventeen cars of tubers have been
shipped from here this week, and the
total since last Thursday is Fl.
The Chicago potato market contin-
ued strong last week with prices
higher than ever before in February,
and only rarely exceeded late; in the
spring.
The severe weather which was ex-
perienced, up to the middle of the
week, in all loading sections served
to practically cut off all receipts at
stations and rolling cars were in
many instances held either at. load
ing point or at the nearest division
point until the weather began to
moderate. Tuesday no new receipts
whatever were reported in and other
days ran comparatively light with
the totals under half of those for
the same week of last year.
The demand has been fairly good,
although the difficulty~in moving sup
plies both in CARROTS and in a small
jobbing way, during the cold weather
which has prevailed, kept it down.
With moderated weather the demand
is expected to be augmented to such
degree that prices will be maintained
even in the face of much heavier re-
ceipts. 49,. ..r-@
In New York the potato market
ruled firm last week with offerings
light. The bulk of the stock was
coming from Maine.
Up in Aroostook county, Maine, the
shippers were paying the farmers SIS
per 1875 pound barrel, and at Maine
Central points, the. farmers were get
ting So a $2.05 per bushel at loading
station. Quotations from shippers in
both sections were coming here on a
basis Of $2.28 a 1888 per bushel de-
livered Harlem river.
Prices at Pennsylvania shipping
points grew too high for consider
alton Of the New York buyer. Phila-
delphia merchants were there paying
$3.50 per bushel at loading station.
This would mean $2.38 a $40 de-
livered New York and the buyers
there would not pay the price.
Long Island potatoes are narrowing
down into a very small channel, and
there is practically nothing for sale
on long Island for outside markets.
Nearby operators are taking every
thing at 1925 a $2.35 per bushel
loading station to the farmer.
On the dock Names were selling
at $5.75 a $6.25, states $5.75 a $6,
Long Islands 1928 a 81, all in 1866
