Prospects for a Big Fair.

From the splendid crops of grain,
and some varieties of fruits
this year, it is readily seen that the
exhibits in these classes at the Mile
Laos county fair will surpass in ex-
cellence those placed on exhibition
last year, and at that time there was
a very good display. Then, again,
during the past twelve months farm
ers have added largely to their dairy
herds by introducing blooded stock, so
that better cattle on exhibition will be
the result.
The sum Of $4,000 in premiums is
offered, which should, and will, prove
an inducement for exhibitors to place
on display the very best they have in
the various departments. Many of the
premiums offered are Large, hence it
is reasonable to conclude that the
competition for prizes will be acute.
Prepare for the fair now-select
your grain and vegetable exhibits
with care. Get ready for the big
event on September ~, 10, II and Is.

r More Anarchistic Lies.

Under the caption of "Shock Kills
Mother-Son Suicides, "there appeared
an item in last weeks issue of the
Union the publication of which we sin
cerely regret. The item stated that
one Reuben Krafve of Maple Ridge,
lsanti county, had been drafted; that.
his mother died from the shock; and
that Reuben hanged himself. The
story appeared in several of the Twin
City papers, and that is what misled
the local editor Of the Union. AS
matter of fact Mrs. Krafve died, but
as far as we can learn the drafting Of
her son was not the cause of her death.
Reuben Krafve was in Princeton the
other day and is very live corpse.
He did not, however, come to the
Union office to offer any explanation
as to why he was alive. The canard
was put in circulation for the sole
purpose of creating sentiment against
the draft in Isanti county. The de-
PRAYED wretches who gave currency
to such gruesome story and for such
a purpose are fit subjects for lunatie
asylum or the penitentiary.

apparent that there will be far fewer
exemptions and discharges granted
than has been indicated by the num-
Der of claims filed by the registrants.
Preliminary consideration Of agri-
cultural and industrial claims filed
with the district board indicates that
not more than 10 per cent of all claims
will be allowed by that body, and there
is a possibility that the percentage
will fall below that figure.
Of the agricultural claims, approx
mately 10 per cent will be allowed,
with a possibility of. a slight increase,
while considerably less than 10 per
cent of the industrial claims will
stand.

Potato Market Steady.

The Princeton potato market re-
manned steady throughout the week
at prices ranging from 60 to rs cents
per bushel- higher price for ripe
stock.
Farmers are busy harvesting grain
and consequently not many potatoes
are being dug. But this is for the best
as 1t will give the tubers an oppor-
tunity to thoroughly ripen. Only
about a third of the quantity received
daily at the warehouses last week is
being marketed now. About a dozen
cars have been shipped since the last
issue of the Union.
There are so far this season only six
buyers in the field.

Company X Boys to Get $40 Apiece.

A patriotic rally is being held today
(Thursday) on the Benton county fair
grounds, near st. Cloud, in honor and
for the benefit of Company K, First
Minnesota infantry. Speeches, a
sham battle and bail game have been
arranged for the occasion. The chief
reason for the gathering is, however,
to take up subscription for the boys
OF Company K. It having been decided
to present each member with a ten
dollar goldpiece upon the departure
of the contingent Tor the training
camp. This idea was conceived at a
meeting in St. Cloud and it is a good
one.

MR.. LIMBS SPEECH.

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: It is a little embarrassing, even
for an old war horse like myself, to
rise before an audience after an in
PRODUCTION of this character. It is apt
to raise your expectations too high.
I have never been able to charm audi
ences. I shall not attempt to do so
today. But rejoice to be here and
to see this vast concourse Of people
assembled as you are for the purpose
that has brought you here. I am not
going to try to make speech, in fact
I have not had time to prepare one.
l am going to talk to you briefly and
tell you how I feel about these things
as a citizen and how I think that you
ought to feel on reflection, and proba-
bly, most Of you do so feel now.
I am pre-eminently man of peace.
I believe in peace. Civilization be-
lieves in peace. AS we look back over
the pages of history, all the advances
that humanity has made-all. the prog
ress in education, in arts, in science
have been made in times of peace and
by men of peace. But, my friends,
while I feel this way, I also feel and
realize that I am an American-an
American citizen. While I am man
of peace, believe in the right, YES,
in the duty of se]f-defense. If anyone
attacks my body or my honor, am
going to defend myself to the extent
of my capacity. If anyone attacks my
state or my country, I will shoulder
up, even with old gray-haired men like
myself, and do my bit to defend my
country, my state, and the institutions
which we all love. (Applause.)
My friends, that is our privilege;
yea, more, it is our duty. We are now
at war. Your fellow-citizen who in
troduced me. said that it is hardly
worth while to discuss the why's and
wherefores. I will devote a few min

Brave Gerald Peterson.

At the patriotic rally on Sunday
the writer referred to a little incident
that occurred on a French battlefield
in which one of our home boys, Gerald
Peterson, figured. Accidentally the
writer discovered that a young lady
visiting here had received letter
from Mr.. w. H. H. Childs, one of the
Harvard unit that went to France with
the Princeton University unit. He be-
came acquainted with Gerald in
France. PETIT is an abbreviation of
Peterson, and to the boys of the unit
Gerald is known as PETIT. We quote
from Mr.. Child's letter of the 26th
ult.:
"About a week ago or perhaps a
little more two cars were stationed
at Post De Secure, one of which
was Pett's and the other mine. The
German artillery was concentrating
it's fire on that sector. We were shown
a dugout in which we were advised to
remain until our cars were filled with
wounded. Thinking that he was not
doing enough for France he insisted
on going out and carrying the wounded
himself. This he did for three hours
while shells burst above him and
landed, as it seemed, at his feet.
When he returned his steel helmet was
denied by pieces Of shells at three dis
tinct places. Lots of fellows for much
less have been decorated with highest
honors, but PETIT seemed to think he
had only done his duty, but believe
me it was some duty as several French
army Brancardiers Observation-Disclosures
were killed that very night"
Probably Gerald's family will not
thank the Union for publishing this
or the writer for relating the incident
at the Sunday meeting. But at this
time, while so many cowardly slack
ers and their equally cowardly rela-
tives, are moving heaven and earth
to get exempted from service it is re-
freshing to find red-blooded young
Americans of the Gerald Peterson
type who are not afraid to risk their
lives in cause they know to be just.
In this connection it may be added
that Gerald did not enter the ambu-
lance service from choice. He wanted
to go into the active fighting ranks
and was physically as sound as nut
save his eyesight-but he could not
distinguish between colors, and he
was rejected Then it was that he
joined the Princeton unit of the AM
bulance corps.
We have other Princeton boys who,
if the opportunity is offered them, will
do their duty as unfinchingly as brave
Gerald Peterson has done his,

the Union, states that branch of the
association, under a 1917 law ap-
propriating $4,000. for extension

The local organization will require
the special aid of one man and one
woman besides the cooperation of all
friends of charitable undertakings,
and upon the interest shown in the
proposal will depend the scope Of the
work, Mr.. Bradley explains.

LIND AND CAMPBELL
Address Over 5000 People at Rousing
Patriotic Meeting on Prince
ton Fair Grounds.
Aut0cracy is Denounced and the Dis
seminators of Treason Are
Called to Account. ~.

It was patriotic rally in the full
sense of the term-the gathering at
the Mile Laos county fair grounds in
Princeton on Sunday afternoon.
Thousands-at least assembled
to hear the speeches of those able ex-
Founders Of truth, Ex-Governor John
Lind and Senator w. A. Campbell. It
was a gathering that Princeton and
Mile Laos county are proud of-an
assemblage that was intensely Amer
lean and heartily in sympathy with
the views enunciated by the eloquent
speakers. It was the first time that
either Gov. Lind or Senator Camp
bell addressed Mile Laos county
audience, and both gentlemen were
gratified at the close attention given
them and the enthusiasm displayed.
Almost every nationality was rep
resented at the meeting, the Scandi-
navian element, Of. course, predomi-
mating. No man stands higher in the
estimation Of the Scandinavians Of this
section of the state than John Lind,
and his speech will be productive Of
much good.
Senator Campbell's throat bothered
him some, but, he had no difficulty in
making himself heard; he had the
audience with him from start to finish
and his many telling points elected
vigorous applause. =.
Co. G boys in their new uniforms
presented a splendid soldierly appear
ance and everybody was proud Of
them
Lest we forget, it is well herewith
to say few words anent the Third
Regiment band Of Duluth, which ar
rived here via Cambridge, from
whence the boys were brought to
Princeton in automobiles furnished by
patriotic citizens. To say that the
band is a splendid musical organiza-
ton is not doingzit justice, for itsis
more than that. It is a combination
of the best talent in the northwest
every man virtuoso on his own par
ticular instrument. Three saxaphones,
four clarionets! Did you ever. see a
band of 80 pieces with this number of
the particular instruments mentioned :?
Music? Well, the melodies were
among the most beautiful we have
ever listened to. The concert given by
the boys on the Armory grounds on
Sunday night was rare treat to
Princeton people and Professor AL
fred Grimm, the director, is hereby
given a vote Of thanks by the Union
for his courtesy in furnishing such a
splendid program of up-to-date selec-
lions.

CO. G MESS FUND
The Little Village of Isle in Extreme
Northeastern Corner of the
County Sends $3.50.
Unless the Boys Are Ordered South
List Will Remain Open Until
Next Monday Evening.

The Unions subscription list for
the Company G mess fund will remain
open until next Monday evening, the
9th inst, unless the boys are ordered
south in the meantime whatever
the amount received will be turned
over to the treasurer Of the company
before the boys take their departure.
AS heretofore stated in the Union,
about $500 had been contributed to
the fund before the Union subscrip-
ton list was started. Our aim was
to increase the fund to $1,000, that
would be an average Of $40 to each
member Of the company. We still lack
considerable of the amount we started
out to obtain, but we are in hopes
that by next Monday evening, when
the list will be closed, that the amount
we aimed at will be subscribed.
Princeton people have contributed
literally, and there have been many
drafts upon their generosity recently,
but this is the last call as far as
Company G boys are concerned.
Company G. represents Mile Laos
county as a whole, although it is cred
tied to Princeton for the reason that
the Armory is located here and Prince
ton is the Company headquarters.
The mess fund is for the benefit of
the entire company, regardless OF
where any member halls from. The
Princeton boys will fare no better than
the boys from Onamia, Milaca, For
eston or Zimmerman. Let it be dis
tinctly understood that the fund is to
provide little comforts and necessities
for each and every member of the
company; that all will receive the
same consideration.
Some will say, "Why a mess fund ?
Does not the government provide for
the boys and pay them liberally?"
Yes, the government does provide for
the boys. But there are many little
necessities that the government does
not provide, and oftentimes there is
delay in purchasing supplies-delays
in transportation, etc.-then is when
the mess or emergency fund is very
essential. But it is needless to reiter-
ate what has been stated so many
times before in these columns.
On Monday evening a check for
$3.50 was received from Mr.. Charles
Malone, president of the village coun-
Gil of Isle, for the fund. The list Of
donors is given below. In our own be-
half, and especially in behalf of the
boys Of Company G, we return our
sincere thanks to Mr.. Malone and the
big-hearted people of Isle and vicin-
ity. We hope other towns in the
county will emulate the good example
set by the bustling little village Of
Isle, and at once.
Annexed hereto is the list of sub
scribers to the fund up to date:
