Princeton Potato Market.

Within the past few days the re-

gated from rs to 100 loads daily, and
there have been half a dozen cars of
the tubers shipped during the week.
The first loads received by buyers
brought rs cents per bushel but on
Monday the price advanced to $1.15
and on Tuesday to $1.30. Yesterday
there was decline, the price falling
to $1.00 This (Thursday) morning
$1.0O is being paid.
Potatoes coming to market are of
good quality, size and shape, but only
about 10 per cent are ripe, and buyers
ask us to advise the farmers not tc
dig and bring to market green spuds
for two reasons-they deteriorate in
shipment and the growers lose money
by taking them from the ground be-
fore they mature.
The varieties of potatoes being
marketed are Early Ohios and Cob

Mrs. |. E. Burgan Dead.

Mrs. I. E. Burgan, for many years
resident Of Princeton, died at her
home, 1925 Fifth Street S. E., Mime
apolis, last Friday evening. The re-
mains were taken to Spring Grove,
her girlhood's home, for interment.
During her residence here and until
quite recently, when her health gave
way, Mrs. Burgan was very active in
temperance and other philanthropic
work. She was good Christian
woman and practiced what she
preached.
Of late years she has been in poor
health, and through her long illness
she was tenderly cared for by her de-
voted husband and two daughters who
survive her. The world was better
for Mrs. Burgan having lived in it,
and her passing away will be sincerely
regretted by large circle of friends.

my Dear Mr.. Dunn: I take pleas

the Secretary of Agriculture has ap-
proved Federal Aid Project No. 9 in
Sherburne County. This is the project
extending north from Zimmerman to
the Mile Lacs county line and one in
which I know you are very much in
terested. 1t involves the rebuilding of
eight miles of road at an expenditure
of $4,000.
Now if the commissioners of Sher-
burne county will get busy at once
there is no reason why the road cannot
be permanently improved this fall
For heavens sake, Messrs Commits
sioners, do not delay the work an hour
longer than is absolutely necessary
There is no reason why the job should
not be completed before Nov. 1st.
