Muellers. Hastily attaching
himself to a fve-gallon Jug, Frank
scurried across the bayfield, to farm
house about a quarter Of a mile away.
There he filled the jug from pump,
took a drink himself, and, forcing his
locomotion into a dog trot, returned
to the bayfield,. There was, of course,
a clamor for the aqua pura as the men
swarmed around the Jug. One big
fellow appropriated the vessel and
lifted it to his lips while the others
patiently awaited their turn. Nothing
doing!" he roared as he threw the
jug upon the ground. 'sEmpty!"
Then it was discovered that there was
small hole in the bottom of the jug
and, consequently, while Frank was
running the water was running also.

Patriotic Father Willenbrink.

Chaplains are necessary evil" in
the United States army, and all re-.
ligions and denominations are sup
posed to be fairly represented. The
Catholic diocese of st. Cloud, of which
Mile Laos county is part, is entitled
to two chaplains, and their selection is
left to the bishop Of the diocese. The.
st. Cloud bishop called for two priests
to volunteer their services, twelve re-
sponded to the call, and among the
first were Father Willenbrink of this
place and Father Kral Of Foreston.
Father Willenbrink is comparatively
young man of German parentage but
intensely American, and in all proba-
bility he will be one Of the two chosen.
Anyhow, he has offered his automo-
bile and other personal effects for
sale and is making every preparation
to leave whenever he is called. .--
Father Willenbrink is an unassum-
ing gentleman, attends strictly to his
own business and does not obtrude his
religious convictions on others. He
has made many friends, without as
we'll as within his own congregation,
since coming to Princeton four years
ago. But, as we have said, the Father
is patriotic American and he deems
it his duty to offer his services to his
country. ~ lass
Father Kral of Foreston delivered
the Memorial day address at the Arm
ory here two months ago, and the SEN
timents he expressed on that occasion
left no one in doubt as to his Ameri-
canism.

pared cards. They were also ex-
amined for moles and other blemishes
on their bodies, which were recorded
on charts, and, as long as the serum
lasted, some were scariffed with vac
cine points for the prevention Of
smallpox.
At $3.50 the boys were lined up, the
roll called, and Captains Bergh and
Cutler mustered them into the federal
army.
Only four men were rejected for
physical disability, viz, George r..
Burnett, Greenbush; Chas. Ryther,
Princeton; and Victor Haki and Peter
Shugal, Eveleth. The latter two ar
rived here on Friday morning with a
contingent of "a men from Company
F., Eveleth, which had been assigned
to Company G.
Following is the roster Of Company
G, but in all probability other names
will be added before orders are re-
ceived to proceed to the training camp.
The names of Lieutenants Kalkman
and Morton do not appear in this list
for the reason that the first-named
has ben promoted to an adjutancy in
Battalion B and the latter assigned to
the Anoka company. The roster:

Company G's farewell dance at the
Armory on Friday evening was gen
erously patronized and the boys ap--
preciate the liberality shown. The
music was Of the very best, and the
toe-trippers evidently enjoyed them
selves, but there was an undercurrent
of sadness lying beneath.

mean? That our boys-many Of
whom we have known since infancy
will go forth to battle in foreign lands
and that probably number Of them
will never return. But, God bless
them, they have enlisted for duty's
sake-duty to their country we
know that they will prove credit to
the patriotic county Of Mile Laos.

Red Cross Meetings.


Mrs. Erb of Minneapolis, one Of the
state organizers for the Red Cross
society, gave two interesting talks at
the court house on Wednesday-one
in the afternoon and the other in the
evening.
She outlined the purpose for which
the society was created, giving it's
history from the time Of it's inception.
With her she had many garments as
an illustration of what is necessary
for the hospital corps, gave instruc-
tions as to how they should be made,
and earnestly appealed to those pres
emit to take up this good and necessary
work.
At the evening meeting-which was
opened by Attorney E. L.. Mcmillan
with a very appropriate talk-a pur-
chasing committee consisting of Mrs.
Mary Rines, chairman; Mrs. T. H.
Galley, Mrs. J. Herdliska, Mrs. J.
A. Smith, Mrs. Henry Avery, Mrs. H.
C. Cooney and Mrs. G. A. Eaton was
appointed. ---- ...
The goods, already ordered, will be
made up into garments in Princeton
at sewing room to be later decided
upon, and then sent to headquarters
in Minneapolis for distribution. The
only work which will be permitted tt
be taken to the homes of those who
will engage in this undertaking vii
be knitting-the remainder must be
done in the society's sewing room.
The expenditure for material tx
be used for the making of. garments
for the hospital corps will be covered
by voluntary contributions the sun
now in the treasury being about $165.
Every woman in Princeton and tn
country districts tributary is asked t.
do her share toward this great cause
to assist in the work of sewing for !;
great army of nurses and others VIII
are called upon to brave death il
hospitals and upon the battlefelds O.

Men and children are also urged t.
render all the assistance within thei
power.
! The local Red Cross society expect
within a short time to secure an in
structor to teach the science of band
aging, etc. There is nothing like pre-
paredness, as we know not how Ion,
this war will continue. .-+.

Surely Christians,

A traveller who believed himself to
be the sole survivor Of shipwreck
upon cannibal isle, hid for three days
in terror of his life. Driven out by
hunger, he discovered thin wisp of
smoke rising from clump of bushes
inland, and crawled carefully to study
the type Of savage about it. Just as
he reached the clump he heard voice
say: 'sWhy in hell did you play that
card?" He dropped on his knees and
devoutly raising his hands, cried:
'"Thank God, they are Christians!"

THEY GET GOOSE EGG
Princeton Team Strikes the Boomer
Gothmans of St. Cloud a
Knockout Blow.
A Pretty Cleanup Game in Which
the Local Boys Make a
Score of 9 Points.

By the lop-sided score of to 0 the
fast Princeton team defeated the
Bloomer-Gothman outfit from st.
Cloud last Sunday at the local fair
grounds. The boys from St. Cloud
found the locals in tip top shape and
they were handed brand Of base ball
that you seldom ever see on the local
ball yard. The Princetonians jumped
right into the fray at the very start
and put up such stiff pitching and
fielding game that the Saints could
find no loop-hole in it anywhere and
were finally shut out without a score.
They made two desperate efforts to
score, one when Lueck, first man up
for St. Cloud, hit a wicked drive to the
-outfeld that looked good for three
bases. Peterson in center relayed the
ball to Berg and, by a perfect peg to
Smith at third, the lanky runner was
caught as he came putting into the
third station.
Again they worked man around to
second and, when the batter hit safely
to left field, it looked like spoiled
shutout, but Young in left field made a
perfect throw to the plate and the
Saints near-score was again cut off.
At the batting end of the game
the locals had a regular midsummer
festival. They hit everything that the
various St. Cloud artists handed to
them. Singles, doubles and infeld
smashes came so fast in one inning
that it sounded like the artillery pre-
ludes that you read about.
While the locals were having such
a merry time with the Saint pitchers
the visitors were finding Wilkes a hard
proposition. The big fellow was in
good shape Sunday and had the game
well in hand throughout. Every rally
started by the Stearns county gang
was nipped in the bud by shutout
pitching or sharp fielding by the locals.
i Ben Nutshell, the scrappy Foley
catcher, was pressed into service for
the locals and, besides catching good
game, welded the club like a big
Lacquer. ..
| Henry Plaas, Esq, was the umpire
in-chief and base umpire combined.
His decisions were never questioned.

Schall Hammers the Senate.

That the senate and not the house
is responsible for the delay in the en-
actment Of necessary war legislation
was the charge made by Representa-
tive Thomas D. Schall in speech in
the house on Monday. Mr.. Schall also
asserted that food spectators were get
ting rich as a result of this delay, and
that necessary coal shipments were not
being made to the northwest. Both
conditions, he declared, would be rem
edied by the food bill and other legisla-
ton. Senate amendments to the reve-
nue. bill, he stated, were for the bene-
fit Of the rich and to the detriment Of
the poor.

The Community Dinner at Onamia.

LIE community DInueT d. OndMAd.
Onamia is patriotic and hospitable
village. It is represented in Company
G. by five of it's finest young men
volunteers, too. They did not wait to
be drafted. Last Saturday a commu-
nifty picnic dinner was given by the
good people Of that village in the
grove on the banks Of Lake Onamia
and handsome sum was realized for
the Red Cross organization. The din
ner was feast fit for the gods and
reflected credit on the culinary skill Of
the ladies of the community. Con-
ssiidering that it was the farmers busy
haying season there was a respectable
attendance, the ladies predominating.
After dinner Mr.. Fred Burrell called
the assemblage to order and announced
the first number on the program
'The Star Spangled Banner which
was we'll rendered by the choir COM
posed Of more than a. dozen voices,
the audience joining in the chorus.
Professor James Davies, instructor in
German at the State University, was
then introduced and delivered on ex-
ceedingly interesting talk. Mr.. Davies
is native Of England, came to this
country when he was two years of
age, studied German in Germany, and
taught for five years in the University
at Leipsic in that country. Hence he
spoke from personal knowledge of
Germans and Germany. ~.
After another song by the choir
"Tenting on the Old Camp Ground
Mr. Mcmillan, in his usual eloquent
and forcible manner, gave a talk
which appealed to the audience; he
especially dwelt on the great work
that the Red Cross is doing and ex.
poets to do during the present war.
A solo-"The Old Guard"-by Mrs
Severson was vigorously applauded
R. c. Dunn then made a few remarks
and the program terminated with the
singing Of "America."
It was a pleasant and highly enjoy
able affair from start to finish, ane

NOTES.
A provost guard has been estab-
lished down town in addition to the
regular guards at the Armory.
Drill is proceeding very satisfactor-
lily under the supervision Of Lieuten-
ants Morton, Kalkman and Hofflander.
Several of the boys visited at their
homes over Sunday. Capt. Johnson
invariably grants any reasonable re-
quest.
The second "shot in the arm" for
typhoid was given to the new members
last week, and some have also been
vaccinated.
"Captain Hardtack" claims to have
patented a shower bath that is a
crackerjack, but most of the boys pre-
fer the river.
There are several good amateur
musicians in the company, and some
lively violin music with piano &C
commandment is discoursed at times.
Corporals Braton and Shobe and
Privates Richard and William de La
Matre represented Company G at a
Red Cross meeting in Onamia Satur-
day.
Every man accepted by DR.. Galley
passed the muster examination. This
is splendid showing, as usually the
muster doctors reject about ten per-
cent of the men.
The boys signed the pay rolls or
Tuesday and even oldtimers overcame
their usual istlessness and stepped
up with the same degree Of "pep" they
display at mess time.
