MRS. CATHERINE A. APPLICABLE.
Esteemed Mile Laos County Pioneer
Passes Over Great Divide.

Another beloved Mile Laos county
pioneer answered the final summons
when Mrs. Catherine A. Apologize
succumbed to cancer of the stomach
at her home in this village Tuesday
morning. Mrs. Apologize had been ill
for some time, and the past several
weeks was tenderly cared for by her
daughter, Mrs. E. M. Chapman, of ST..
Cloud. .--.
Funeral services were conducted
yesterday afternoon at the Methodist
church by Rev. James A: sGeer, and
were largely attended. Interment
was in Oak Knoll cemetery. "
Deceased, whose maiden name was
Catherine A. Sleeves, was born at
North River, New Brunswick, Canada,
Sept. Fl, 1852. She came to Prince
ton with her parents in the fall Of
1862, and was here married to Henry
D. Apologize on September IA, 1873.
Mr.. Apologize passed over the great
divide II years ago.
Mrs. Apologize is survived by son,
Louis F., of Seattle, Wash, and a
daughter, Mrs. E. M. Chapman, Of ST..
Cloud. Three sisters and six brothers
also survive, viz: Mrs. Thos. Serb
ner, Petitcodiac, New Brunswick, Can
ada; Mrs. Mary Rines and VIM.
Sleeves, Princeton; Abel H. Sleeves,
Empress, Canada; Mrs. John W..
Nokes, Cottage Grove, Oregon; Robt.
H. Steeeves, Seattle, Wash; Henry
Sleeves and Arthur Sleeves, Prince
ton, and Fred A. Sleeves Of Beech,
N. D..
Mrs. Apologize was ever ready to
lend helping hand in connection with
anything tending to promote the well
fare of the village, and was always
active in the Women's Relief associa-
ton. She was a loving wife and
mother, a lconsiderate neighbor and
numerous friends will cherish her
memory.

Tobacco Raising Paws.

More than a score of farmers in the
vicinity of Clear Lake, Sherburne
county, raised tobacco last year. Ac-
cording to the local paper, the Times,
prices received varied from 500 to
5000 per acre. A larger acreage will
be planted this year than last and the
facilities for curing and handling, the
crop will be increased. Evidently it
pays Clear Lake farmers to grow
tobacco.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The Kid Has Gone to the COlOrS.

w. M. Herschell in indianapolis News
The Kid has gone to the Co1ors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled y
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, baby,
With never care at all,
And the Kid has heard the call
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered: "Come!"
The Kid, not being Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot Joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud Of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but little while
Since he drilled school boy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's man, a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His mother-God bless her!-cried;
Yet, blessed with mother nature,
She wept with mother pride
But he whose old shoulders Strengthened
Was grandad-fors memory ran
To years when he, too,.a youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to a man!

Let the Road Improvement Proceed.
Let there be no dilly-dallying or
hanging back on the part of any

Improvement this year. The villages
should heartily cooperate with the
county and state road authorities.
Much time has already, unavoidably

sible delay in getting down to the &C.

We are indebted to the Star News

Orion, who died at st. Cloud recently.
Mr.. Orion came to Mile Laos county
in 1856, and resided on a farm near
Prairie Brook in the town Of Green
bush for more than rs years. He will
be remembered by all old settlers of
the county. An extended reference
to his death appeared in the Union a
couple of weeks ago.

FOR BETTER FILMS,
Nationwide Movement for Better
Movies for Young Folks.

A<dIAOA-V1ue HVVeMeNC IOT beCCec
Movies" for Young Folks.
There is nation wide movement to
procure better films for children and
its ultimate success lies with the par
ents Of the children.
If the parents demand the suitable
films and patronize them when they
are provided for the children the suita-
BILE films will be Forthcoming. r
The .smovie" business is carried on
like any other legitimate business and
from purely business standpoint, if
thee is a steady demand for suitable
films for children they will be, sup
piled.
IT, the other hand, the parents
continue to allow the children to pat
ronize the "blood and thunder" variety
of film plays which seem to be the
demand of large percentage of the
movie FANS" naturally the promoters
of the "movie" business would be fool
ish to go to the expense of putting
on the market the films suitable for
children, and the managers of the
"rnovie" house would be likewise fool
ish to take the trouble of showing
other than the popular line of films.
Much money is being spent by diff
ferent organizations all over the coun-
try to further the undertaking of
Better Films for Children" and peo-
pie are giving Of their valuable time
to work on committees to investigate
both as to what is needed for these
films and as to what can be procured.
Like many good movements the
pendulum swung too far in the oppos-
tie direction when the zeal Of those
interesting themselves sought to get
away from the hurtful and really dan
gerous class of films. They over
looked the fact the children must be
entertained and were putting on for
children's programs films that were
purely educational and that smacked
altogether too much of the school
room. =
The films were tiresome to the chill
dren and for time it locked as
though all would end in failure.
Grown people go to the "movies" to
be entertained, and there is no good
reason Why the children should not
also expect to be entertained as well
when they attend.
The committee soon saw and recti-
fed their mistake and the idea now
is principally to provide good clean
entertainment for the children.
It is along these lines that the
National Committee for Films for
Young People" with headquarters in
New York and a number of like or
CARNATIONS are working.
They are in correspondence with
the Women's and other clubs all over
the country and all are working to-
gether.
As yet there is notsa great supply
of these films and the people Of the
small towns are hampered by not be-
ing able to procure as many as they
would like on account Of the high
price Of many Of them, but as more
and more are put on the market the
prices will naturally lower and we
shall be able to procure more all the
time.

Why the Baby Cries.

Now we know why the baby cries.
For a long time the cause was yelled
In ebscurity. 1t might be an inacces-

plain case of collie, called by what new

announcement in the imperative mood
that he wants to be up and petted or
he wants the moon or he wants some
thing else, and "he won't be happy till
he gets it." There Is no denying that
for an infant industry the baby's ad-
vertising is a great success. Nearly
every time he gets results, and the

LIQUID fire as a war weapon Is thus
described in an English Journal:
In the earliest models the comDus-
tible liquid was propelled by gas
condenser out of a portable or fixed
reservoir and was lighted by some au-
tomato device as it escaped from the
nozzle of the projecting instrument
Later double barreled liquid gun
was devised. having the upper barrel
much smaller than the lower and piv-
oted so as to turn independently. The
fluid is shot from the two barrels 81
multaneously. but only that from the
upper one ignites automatically.

rected that 1t unites with the larger.
nonburning one at any desired point
and then, of course, ignites the larger
let The small stream Is then shut on.
the large one continuing to flow.
The flames do not spread backward
along the jet toward the nozzle, but
are carried forward to the target and,
striking the ground, form veritable
sheet Of fire, which continues to ignite
the fluid as fast and as long as it falls.

The transformations that take place
In a name as 1t passes through differ
emit languages can only be accounted
for by carelessness in transmission.
One would scarcely expect the name Of
Emeric, the name of a pious Hun
garian prince Of the eleventh century,
who was made a saint, to take the
form of Amerigo In Italian and OF
Amory and Emery In English. The
name In German, but little changed
from the original, Is Emmerich. This

The Minister who Feels
Well on Monday

With many ministers, Monday is an
"off day." Not in the way of doing
nothing, but in the sense of not feel
ing well. After the hard work of Sat-
urday and Sunday, comes the nervous
and physical reaction of Monday, with
that "all-in" feeling. This is a con.
dition many ministers would be glad
to be freed from. They can avoid it
by giving proper attention to diet, and
taking IL. F." Atwoods Medicine to
keep the bowels in order, the stomach
toned, the liver regulated, and the
head clear. This old home remedy
is so good that many ministers are
glad to recommend it, feeling that
they are passing along kindness in
so doing. We will send free sample
