PICNIC
And Patriotic Day to Be Observed
at the Fair Grounds on Next
Wednesday, June 20.
Hon. J. J. Farrell, Dairy and Food
Commissioner, to Speak-Band
Music and Song Program.

A picnic and patriotic day combined
will be, put on at the Princeton fair
grounds next Wednesday, June 22, un-
der the auspices of the Princeton Co.
operative creamery. This will doubt
less. be the big event of the summer,
as Princeton will not celebrate the
Fourth
The fair grounds make an ideal
place for an affair Of this kind, and the
creamery is grateful to the fair asso-
citation for the use of same.
An interesting program is being ar
ranged, and the occasion promises to
be enjoyable as we'll as instructive.
Hon. J. j. Farrell, state dairy and food
commissioner, will be present and
speak. Mr.. Farrell has national
reputation as an authority on dairy
matters, and every farmer in this
vicinity should avail himself of this
opportunity to hear him. Patriotism
will be the keynote Of other speeches.
The Glendorado band has been en-
gagged, and this excellent organization
will discourse music throughout the
day. A preliminary concert will be
given at the intersection of First and
Main streets at 10 a. m.
A patriotic song program arranged
by Mrs. H. C. Cooney will be another
pleasing feature.
A ball game is among the attrac-
tions, and Princeton will oppose the
speedy Milaca aggregation. 1t will be
sizzler as both teams will exert
themselves more than they ordinarily
do to win.
Forty gallons Of ice cream will be
dished out free by the local creamery,
and this feature will doubtless make a
decided hit with the little folks.
At noon those present will partake
Of basket dinners.
=. The various places of business in
Princeton will be closed between the
hours of 8 a. M and p. M, and all
our citizens will have an opportunity
to attend.
/ Everybody is villagers as
we'll as farmers. Take day off and
help to make the picnic and patriotic
day rousing success.

spirits. This would have conserved
practically all Of the food grains used
for the manufacture Of liquors, to-wit:
rye, corn and rice. This amendment
was voted down by the prohibitionists.
l enclose the vote upon these ques-
tons.
ut is perfectly reasonable to pro-
hibit the use of any grain in the man
ufacture of distilled spirits and I am
in favor Of doing so, but to destroy the
vineyards and breweries of this coun-
try without going on a prohibition
basis, and to permit the shipment of
barley to foreign countries to be man.
ufactured into beer and shipped back,
and to permit the shipment Of wine
into this country, while it's manufac-
ture here is prohibited, is perfectly
absurd.
''But however that may be, it had no
place upon the espionage bill. The
espionage bill was dealing with spies
and foreign commerce. The Cummins
amendment was absolutely foreign to
it, and it was of the most vital i'm
portance to get the espionage bill
passed to give the president power
over foreign commerce. You might as
we'll place a prohibition measure on a
waterpower BILL. Such legislation is
not proper. I think it is advisable to
prohibit the use of foodstuffs in the
manufacture of spirituous liquors, and
both Senator Nelson and I voted for
such measure.
Prohibition. is Expected.
II am not prepared to say what we
will do; but the probabilities are that
we will prohibit the use of grain in the
manufacture of distilled liquors. This
practically will cover all cereals used
for manufacture Of food products in
this country. We may limit the per-
centage Of alcohol to be used in beer
and possibly submit constitutional
amendment on prohibition. I do not
know whether this will be done or not.
I shall consider these measures in the
interest Of the whole country, fully
aware that will not satisfy either
side. There is always class of men
who think the future of the world de-
ponds entirely upon their particular
remedy, but I am going to do what I
think is for the benefit of this country
during this great conflict. ..,.... :.
II fear the people do not realize the
seriousness of this great war and the
magnitude Of the undertaking which
we have assumed. I believe we will
yet be called upon to make sacrifices
which will put to the supreme test the
patriotism and resources of the coun-
try.
II am perfectly willing at any time
to explain my action on any of these
great questions to the people Of my
state. I may make mistakes, and shall
be glad, as far as possible, to rectify
them if I do, but in this matter I am
not apologizing for my VOTE"

THE REASON WHY.
Senator Frank B. Kellogg Tells Why
He and Senator Nelson Opposed

Senator Frank B. Kellogg Tells Why
He and Senator Nelson Opposed
the Cummins Amendment.
Under date of June 9, in letter to
DR.. Donald J. Cowling, president Of
Carleton College at Mortified, Sena-
tor Kellogg gives good and sufficient
reasons why he and Senator Nelson
voted against the Cummins amend
ment.
Here is the letter:
my Dear DIR. Cowling:
~ received your letter in which you
state that the faculty seem disappoint-
ed with the vote of Senator Knute
Nelson and myself on wartime pro-
hibition.
"In the first place you seem to be
misinformed, as to what the Cummins
amendment was. We both voted for
the clause in the army bill that pro-
hibited the sale of liquors to any army
officer or private, and prohibited the
sale of Intoxicating liquors in the
vicinity Of concentration camps. The
Cummins amendment did not in the
slightest degree, in any way at all,
deal with the subject of prohibition or
limit the sale of liquor to anybody.
The amendment was as follows:
Section lon and after Sept. l.,
1917, and during the period of the
war with the imperial government of
Germany, and for one year thereafter,
it shall be unlawful to use or employ,
directly or Indirectly, any cereal, grain
or other edible thing in the production
Of Intoxicating liquor in any form or Of
any kind; provided, however, that this
section shall not be construed to make
unlawful the manufacture of alcohol
for mechanical, medicinal or scientific
purposes, under rules or regulations to
be prescribed by the secretary Of the
treasury. A violation of this section
shall be punished by fine Of not more
than $4,000 or Imprisonment for not
more than three years or both.
Forces Whiskey Drinking.
''There is at least three years sup
ply of whiskey on hand in bond, in
this country, and the passage of this
amendment would simply have the
effect Of forcing people to drink whis-
key instead Of beer or wine. Barley
and grapes are not used for foodstuffs
in this country to any appreciate ex-
tent.
An amendment was proposed by
Senator Charles w. Wadsworth which
would have prohibited the use of cere-

Good Roads Dav.

Governor Burnquist has designated
next Tuesday as Good Roads day, and
every community should observe it
right
The highway commissioner suggests
that the first step be taken by the vii
lage council or town board, by desig-
mating certain piece of road to be
improved. Then a committee should
be appointed to organize the labor and
material. This plan, if followed, will
produce the most satisfactory results.
It is imperative that action be taken
at once, if anything is to be accom-
plished. d

LeVe1-Headed John lind

At meeting Of the State Public
Safety commission and the directors
of the county organizations in the cap
itol at st. Paul yesterday. John Lind
is quoted in the Minneapolis Journal
as declaring that no language save
English should be taught in the grade
schools or high schools Of Minnesota,
and said the present teaching Of other
tongues was due to un-American
propaganda. Mr.. Line also stirred his
audience with an account of how he
was converted from neutral to pro-
Ally and was later led to favor Amer
ica's entry into the war by the actions
of the Germans themselves.

Funds Needed.

Early in May notice was given to
the public that the Civic Betterment
club had again taken charge of Oak
Knoll cemetery. An appeal was issued
asking that each lot owner pay at
least two dollars for he upkeep of
the cemetery.
AS is so often the case there has
not been the general response that
there should be to the appeal.
For the past six weeks the whole of
the cemetery has been cared for but,
while the club recognizes the fact that
much of the neglect to respond is not
willful, yet in fairness to those who
have paid in for the care of their lots,
a different system will be in effect for
the rest of the season.
The lots which are not paid for will
no longer be cared for by the man
hired by the club with the exception of
soldiers graves and where are buried
those whose relatives are scattered
and cannot be reached by notices.
Any who have not paid and who
wishes the club to continue with the
care Of their lots will please notify the
club treasurer promptly.
. If, as has been said before, each lot
owner would. contribute his share our
cemetery could be kept place Of beau
ty and pride to our community.

ALUMNI BANQUET
At 1. o. o. F. Hall Tuesday Evening
Success-O&cers Elected
for Ensuing Year.
Toasts, Appetizing Eats and Musical
Program Features of Most
Enjoyable Evening.

The annual banquet of the alumni
association Of the Princeton high
school was held at the I. O. O. F. hall
Tuesday evening, and it was a most
enjoyable affair. About 40 were pres
ent, including IA members of the class
Of 1917.
At the outest all joined in singing
patriotic songs. II
The supper had been prepared by
Mesdames J. c.. Herdliska and Harry
Shockley, and appetizing viands ga
lore were in evidence.
Ralph Whitney presided as toast
master, and he filled the position adj
mirably. Mrs. H. M. Avery, president
of the association, feelingly voiced the
welcome to the new members, and
Allan Ross, president Of the class of
1917, responded very appropriately.
Others called upon for toasts included
Clifton Cravens, Robert Berg, Grover
Umbehocker, E. L. Mcmillan, Misses
Hazel Scalberg, Anna Wikeen and
Laura McVicar, and Mrs. NJ. M.
Stroeter.
Members Of the classes of 1915 and
1916 decided to purchase Liberty
loan bond with $50 of the funds Of
those classes, and to donate the bal
ance to the Red Cross society that is
to be organized here. A commenda-
BILE move.
The following program was carried
out, and each number was thoroughly
enjoyed:
Song 'Tenting Tonight ....... Audience
trombone Duet.......".....Allan Ross and David
Umbehocker.
Vocal Solo ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Dorothy Dickey
hseaoliis Eta Davis
vocal 300 Rita Byers
The regular business meeting was
next in order, and the following Off
GERS were elected: Grace Herdliska,
president; Grover Umbehocker,%yic
president; Clifton Cravens, secretary.
The president was instructed to
name a committee Of three, with the
president and secretary as ex-oficio
members, to keep the organization in
touch with any movements tending to
promote community improvement.
The organization is anxious to help,
and invites suggestions.
Some members of the association do
not take the interest in it that they
should, but it is hoped that increased
activities will tend to keep the spirit
alive in all who have graduated from
the Princeton high school.
The annual banquets are invariably
delightful affairs, and the one of Tues
day evening was no exception-each
one present pronounced it the best
ever.

There should not be an empty seat
in the Armory at the patriotic pro-
gram tomorrow evening for the bene-
fit of the Red Cross. No admission
fee will be charged but collection

a combination that will attract a
crowded house. Mrs. Kidder of Min
neapolis will speak on Red Cross work.
The program follows:

Red Cross Drill.
The Marselllalse ............. Chorus and Tableau
