Farmers Clubs.

In consequence of so much work at
home only two farmers clubs made
entries the Milo Mutual and Chase
Brook. They were both excellent dis
plays, consisting of almost every
thing that is grown on farm. And
both were tastefully arranged and
decorated Milo club having for
it's motto, "Help to VIM" and the
Chase Brook, ''Does It's Bit" The as
sembling of these splendid collections
of vegetables, grains and fruits was
no easy task and we must give the
farmers wives and daughters credit
for the greater part Of the work as
at that particular time the ''men
folks" were out in the fields cutting
corn; and, even if they were not, they
could not have engineered attractions
so artistic as those produced by their
wives. The first prize was awarded to
the Milo Mutual and the second to
Chase Brook.

struck their stride and handed the
Milaca baseball outfit a life-sized
trimming, the score being 10 to o. /.
Garrison worked on the mound for the
home team and his former fellow
townsmen could do nothing with his
splitter and fast one. Maegli attempt
ed the pitching for the visitors, but
evidently the double header was too
much for him and the Princeton bunch
touched him up pretty freely at times.
He was retired in favor Of Soderstrom,
who Jared little better at the hands of
the hit-crazy Pongoites. The score,
10 to 0, really tells the whole story.
The real thriller came on Saturday
when the Snake River team battled
with the Greenbush outfit for eleven
long innings before they could put
over the winning punch. Snake River
got away to good start and scored
one run in the first frame and came
right back in the third and got one
more. Greenbush staged an old-time
rally in thei1 half of the third round,
and when the smoke of battle had
cleared away they had piled up a total
of four runs and were leading their
rivals by two points. Snake River
retaliated in the next inning and, by
a combination of hits and errors,
scored three more runs, thereby get
ting one-run lead again. From this
on the two teams settled down to a
steady, scoreless grind up to the
eighth inning. In this frame the S.
RS. sneaked over another run, and
when Greenbush came to bat in the
last half Of the ninth it looked like a
4 to 6 cinch for the Sherburne county
gang. But the mighty sluggers from
Greenbush hitched up their belts an
other notch or two and waded into the
S. R. twirler, and when they got
through with his hooks and slants for
that round the score was tied and the
game was still on. Neither team broke
in the tenth but in the eleventh the
S. RS. again got busy with their clubs
and hung the game up for good with
fve-run lead. Greenbush was unable
to stage another "comeback" and the
S. RS. went off with the long end OF
the score and money. Verify, it was
some game, the last two innings being
played in semi-darkness, with the
players of both sides going at tor
speed trying to break the tie with the
winning run.

Grains and Grasses.

In this department was exhibited
excellent displays Of small grain,
wheat, oats, rye, etc., but the corn,
although large of ear, was not mature
the frost nipped it before it had an
opportunity to ripen. Mike Mahoney
and I. Mudgett had some fine grain in
sheaf on exhibition and C. A. Raiche
of Greenbush a nice collection of
grasses. Mr.. Mahoney also had an
excellent exhibit of clover in bundles.

Baseball Games.

Lovers of baseball who visited the
Mile Laos county fair this year were
treated to three corking good exhibit
tions Of the national pastime. The
old hereditary foes, Foley and Prince
ton, played the curtain raiser on
Thursday and the Princetonians shut
out their opponents from Benton coun-
ty by the score of 1 90. It was real
baseball and but for one costly slip of
the Foley infield the game would prob
ably have gone to an even draw, for
when the seven innings of play were
finished the game was called on ac-
count of darkness.
Princeton slipped over the winning
run in the 4th inning, the only score
made in the game. Smith got to first
on a single and stole second. Grow
drove hot one through the pitchers
box that Kasner grabbed at but
missed. The ball was finally rounded
up by the Foley infeld and wild,
hurried throw to first allowed Smith
to score. Maegli, imported from Mil
AGA, did the pitching stunt for Prince
ton and performed like a big Lacquer.
Skahen did the receiving and kept his
lanky battery mate going at top
speed throughout. Kasner and Mush-
ell, the old Foley vetrans, did the bat
terry work for the visitors.
On Friday the Princeton team really

Township Exhibits.

There were but two township ex-
hibits-Kathio and Wyanett-both ex-
cellent collections. On required
points, however, the judge concluded
that the Kathio exhibit was trife
better than the Wyanett and awarded
the lake township the first prize. This
exhibit was brought to Princeton by
"A. P. Jorgensen and VIM. Anderson on
Wednesday. It necessitated the plow-
in through a sea of mud and getting
soaked to the skin. However they
made the run, bit were compelled to
put their cabbages and other things
under Mr.. Marsh's shower bath in
order to remove the accumulation of

Bread, Pastry, Etc.

The bread and pastry department
contained an assortment of exhibits
which it would be difficult to excel.
There were several kinds of bread,
cookies, cake, pie, etc. The display
was not as large as last year, but this
is attributed to the high cost of every
thing which enters into the making of
these foods. Mrs. Mossman and Mrs.
Chas. King were in charge Of this de-
partment.

NOTES..

Fay Cravens of the Milaca Times
and son, Albert, attended the fair on
Friday.
Bergman exhibited silo upon the
grounds and the Evens Hardware Co.
demonstrated "a milking machine.
There were hundreds of people from
north, south, east and west in atten-
dance at the Mile Laos county fair.
Editor Adams of the Lake Breeze
and Fred Burrell were among the
Onamia visitors on the grounds Fri
day.
George D. Loring attended the fair
Friday and Saturday and met scores
Of old friends he had not seen for
years.
R. M. Washburn of the agricultural
farm judged the cattle, vegetables,
etc., and Miss Burgan Of the State
university the pastry and preserves.
Fred Guderian of the Isanti News,
and Albert Wickstrom of the First
National Bank Of Isanti. were among
those who attended the fair on Satur-
day. - f.
The Union appreciates very much
the kindness of Sam Droogsma of
Milo for his assistance in listing the
cattle and horses which took prizes
at the fair.
The Red Cross society secured 100
additional members at the fair, which
means not less than an increase in
the treasury of 500. This is particu-
larly encouraging. .e-..
Milaca was we'll represented on the
grounds Friday, and the Milaca band
livened things up that day.. When our
up-river neighbors have some 'doings"
Princeton people will return the call.
The Boy Scouts rendered valuable
aid throughout the fair in detecting
people who "climbed over the fence"
and keeping the track clear during the
races and free performances.
Geo. E. Rice, A. R. Davis, J. M.
Nutshell, Ed Nutshell and John Karner
drove over from Foley on Thursday to
attend the fair: Mr.. Davis was one
of the players in the ball game be-
tween Princeton and Foley.
President Bryson, sec'y Stanley,
Director George Schmidt, and the
presidents right bower, Judge Keith,
were in evidence all the time, and
each of them did his level best to
make things run smoothly.
Little Henry Geber, Of Princeton
town, who since his sister died has
been cook and housekeeper for his
father, had two cakes on exhibition
and was awarded first prize on both.
Pretty good for a 14-year-old boy.
Good natured and rotund E. F. Gil

partner, John O. Stoneburg, were get
ting pointers for the Cambridge fair on
Friday. Eb. says the Swedes and Irish
are hard combination to go up
against.

Quoted business and they did not at
any time appear to be idle. Then
there were the games Of chance
throwing balls at dolls, into tin cans,
etc, for prizes.
Payette had an excellent display of.
photos at the fair. Joe is an artist
in every sense Of the word-his pro-
auctions are works of art. A fine
picture was made by Mr.. Payette of
Sam Droogsma's herd of Herefords on
the fair grounds.
/, For the first time in years Charley
Murray, owing to pressure of work on
the farm, was absent from the agri-
cultural hall and he was greatly
missed. Charley has superintendent
that department at the fair for many
years and always made good. =
Andrew Eklund, who resides on Sec
ton 10 in the town Of Spring Vale,
Isanti county, is some potato raiser.
A 81 acre patch of Early Ohios went
400 bushels to the acre. That is
phenomenal yield for Ohios. But Mr..
Eklund is a truthful man. He has a
total of IS acres in potatoes this year.
Rain or shine A. P. Jorgensen never
fails to show up at the fair with
creditable display from Kathio, the
extreme northwestern town of the
county. Distance or weather does not
seem to dampen Mr.. Jorgensen's ar
dor. There ought to be at least one
Jorgensen in every town in the coun-
ty, but unfortunately there is not.
H. M. Fox of Santiago was passing
around sprigs Of ''bonnie purple heath
er" to his friends on the grounds
Thursday. Mr.. Fox had a few days
previously received a package of the
heather from his sister who lives near
the Scottish border in England. The
stuff looked and smelled good enough
to have been grown in the north Of
Ireland.
P. w. Jensen, proprietor of the
Diamond Leaf stock farm, sold two of
his, full-blooded Holsteins which were
exhibited at the fair for a good round
sum. Mr.. Jensen has one of the best
stock farms in the northwest, with
splendid dairy herds, commodious
buildings and sufficient acreage to
grow feed for his Holsteins. A trip to
Mr.. Jensen's farm is we'll worth
while. He is always pleased to show
visitors over his premises.
Sam Droogsma, the progressive
Milo farmer, disposed of five young
animals at the fair which netted him
almost $500. One full blood Hereford
bull calf brought him $125. The
others disposed of were grades. Mr..
Droogsma is proprietor Of the Meadow
Brook farm on section rs in the town
Of Milo. He is a believer in high
grade horses, sheep and hogs as we'll
as cattle, and he finds it pays him.
Mr.. Droogsma has been resident of
Milo for % years-came here i'm
mediately after the Hinckley fire. He
is one of the most successful farmers
in the country.

Hanna GiDes Thanks To State
Workers Who Made Liberty
Bond DriUe Splendid Success

Chairman L. B. Hanna, Of the
North Dakota executive committee in
charge Of the sale Of Liberty bonds,
in signed statement given out this
afternoon, expresses his appreciation
Of the aid given by the people of
North Dakota in the bond selling
campaign.
His statement follows:
The second Liberty bond campaign
has come to a close in the state and
nation. An North Dakota 1t has been
much easier to reach the people than
1t was in the first Liberty bond cam
paign in June. In June there were
but few workers and the bonds were
very largely taken by the banks,
while in this campaign there have
been hundreds and probably thou
sands Of workers and the larger per-
centage Of the bond has been taken
by the people themselves. It has
been the wish Of the government
that the people should subscribe for
the bonds, and 1t is certainly crafty
ing to know that here in our state
the governments request has been
so largely complied with. During a
part Of the time the weather has
been bad and the roads almost i'm
passable but in spite of the adverse
conditions workers have gone on foot
and on horse back, with autos and
buggies, and the farmers have re-
sponded nobly to the call and have
periodically subscribed for a large
proportion of the bonds that have
been taken in North Dakota. The
laboring men, the people of small
means, the bankers, business and
professional men have all done
their part.
The North Dakota State Liberty
Bond committee would be glad IL It
were possible, to thank each and
every one Of those who have helped
so much to make the bond campaign
q success. The county and township
organization has been very good and
to each and everv one of these who
have worked in these organizations,
the committee is deeply grateful.
The woman's organization in the
state, under the leadership OF Miss
Minnie J. Nelson OF Valley City,
state chairwoman for the Woman's
has worked efficiently and
with success, and the efforts made
by the women has helped in swelling
the total purchases Of bonds very
materially.
The Boy Scouts have worked and
worked hard and have reached many
who might otherwise have been over
looked in the campaign. The teach
ers of the state have done their part
through their own organization and

with their students.
The press of the state has been
loyal and true and has presented to
the people. each day or each week.
reasons why the governments appeal
for funds should be loyalty respond
ed to.
The campaign has been an oppor-
tunity for service and 1t would seem
as though everyone who has worked
in selling bonds, or who has pur-
chased them, will be a better Am
erican citizen, because of the oppor-
tunity that has come to them to help
their country and their government.
Today America is in this world IS
war, until ii shall close. The better
the government shall be supplied
with men and money, the sooner the
war will cease. Peace, honorable
peace, the peace that we are looking
forward to will come to the world all
the more quickly If everyone shall
put his shoulder to the wheel and
help at this time. There will be

believe that out of this great ordeal
which America and the world is now
going through, America and the
whole world will arise from the con-
fiict, purified by the, fire which it has
gone through and with our people
welded together into a great broth
erhood, and such a one as has never
been known before.
For fifty years the Grand Army Of
the Republic has been teaching Am
erica lessons of patriotism and when
our soldier boys of today shall return
to us, they will in turn teach us and
those who shall come after us, les
Gems and inspire in us deeper sense
Of love and loyalty for our country.
On behalf of the North Dakota
Liberty Loan committee I express to
all workers and subscribers, and to
all those who have helped, the deep
sense of appreciation that the COM
mittee has for the cooperation and
help given.
