Plain Words.

It is the patriotic duty Of every
man and woman who can afford to
and there are precious few who cannot
to subscribe to the Liberty loan. Of
course, if you are an enemy of the
United States, if your sympathies are,
with foreign country and against
your own, if you wish to paralyze the.
efforts of our brave soldier and sailor
boys, if you wish to see Old Glory
trail in the mire of defeat, you will
not subscribe nor will you urge any
of your friends or neighbors to sub
scribe; it is not to be expected YOU
would. But in case any of the "ifs'"
we have enumerated are true, then
for Gods sake get out of this country
and stand not upon the order of your
going. There is no room anywhere in
this broad land for such as you. YOU
would not make passable citizen Of
the orthodox hell.

Insane Woman Strangles Child.


Mrs. c. F. Bechtle Of Onamia was
brought before Judge of Probate San
ford on Saturday and, upon exanina-
ton of Drs. Armitage and Roadman,
was pronounced insane and committed
to the Fergus Falls asylum.
On the previous evening County At
torney .Myron was called to Onamia
to investigate the murder of an adopt-
ed child of the Bechtles', aged about
2 years, which had been strangled to
death.
It appears that when Mr.. Bechtle,
who is employed by the 500 Railroad
company, arrived home from his daily
labors on Friday evening at about 1880
o'clock he inquired for .sthe baby and
was told by his wife it was asleep in
bed. He went to the bedroom and
found the little girl cold in death with
marks on her throat which showed
plainly that she had been strangled,
and there were Indications from the

SCOT on her face that the insane
woman had attempted to put the body
in the kitchen stove.
County Attorney Myron called up
the sheriff and also Coroner Swennes
and DR.. Roadman, but no inquest was
found necessary as the woman, xho
told DR.. Roadman that God had com.
manded her to kill the child to save
herself, was without doubt, insane. 3
Mrs. Bechtle had been in sanitar-
lum in st. Paul, where her husband
placed her upon the Recommendation
OF Or. Swennes, and upon returning
home her condition appeared to have
improved, but as long ago as last Mag
DR.. Swennes had warned Mr.. Bechtle
to keep a close watch on his wife as
she was liable to GO violently insane
lat any moment. Therefore the hus-
band hired a girl to care for her, but
couple of weeks ago it was rot
deemed necessary to employ the a.
tendant longer in consequence of Mrs.
Bechtle's apparent improvement, and
she was discharged.
When committed to the hospital Mrs.
Bechtle was suffering from insanity in
one of its worst forms.

A Judicial Roast.

In the case of the United States "
One Automobile, 237 Federal Reporter
891, the question arises as to whether
an automobile would come under an
old Indian territory statute calling for
a forfeiture Of "boat, team, wagon OF
sled," if same is used in conveying
liquor into an Indian country. In dis
cussing this feature of the case JUS
tice Bourquin says in part: "It was
yet later that the automobile was de-
veloped to a degree that, while it is
tremendous and valuable industry, it
is also an incentive to great public and
private extravaganza and debt, toe
largely owned, more or less condition
ally, by those not more than six
lengths ahead Of the wolf, infesting
the public streets, contemptuous to
the rights of pedestrians, like Jehu

of luxury, necessity, and waste"

Hats Off to P atriotic Glendorado.

Glendorado for years has been one
of the most enterprising towns in this
vicinity. The we'll cultivated farms
with the large, comfortable houses,
many Of which are equipped with
electric lights and water, the spacious
barns and other outbuildings testify to
the prosperity of the community The
town of Glendorado has prospered in
material things and at the same time
there has developed fine feeling of
good fellowship among the people.
They all work together and conse-
quently accomplish something worth
while. The people, most of whom are
{. of good old Morse stock, are of the
type which makes UP the backbone Of
this nation. They have reaped rich
harvests here and are willing to re-
turn something to this country. The
time has come when the United States
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1917-10-25

needs the loyal support of all her citi-
zens, and the Glendorado people have
not been found wanting.
Ayoung manin this community who
is drafted has reason to feel that he is
honored in being called to the
service of his country. Before he
leaves home his friends give a party
in his honor and he is presented with
a well-filled purse.
Last August Red Cross chapter
was organized. Mr.. Edwin Odegard
was elected president and committee
was appointed consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Odegard, Mr.. and Mrs. Olof An
derson, Mr.. Andrew Finbogsen, and
Miss Nellie Torgerson. The committee
has been very active and much has
been accomplished. Last Saturday
evening, under the auspices Of this
committee, there was held in Odegard's
hall basket social and band con-
cert. About 200 people were present
and enjoyed a pleasant social evening.
The Glendorado band, assisted by the
Umbehocker boys Of Princeton, fur
nished excellent music. The baskets,
filled with all things good, sold at high
prices, some of them bringing as much
as $500 apiece. The lunches were
completed with coffee which was
served free. The proceeds of the
social, $122.00, will go to the Red
Cross, with the exception of $1,000,
which will be applied to the library
fund for the soldiers.
The people in Glendorado have con-
tributed almost 100000 to the second
Liberty loan and expect to reach the
100000 mark before Saturday night.
Surely here is small farming COM
munity of which we should all be
proud. It is really matter of regret
to the Union that Glendorado is locat-
ed in Benton county and not within
the boundaries of Mile Laos county.
We should like to claim her as our
own.
It is to be sincerely hoped that the
towns Of Mile Laos county will initiate
the good example set by the patriotic
people of Glendorado and come to the
front with liberal subscriptions for the
Liberty loan.

eternal reward on Friday afternoon,
October 10, at S:45 o'clock, aged So
years. For one year previous to her
translation Mrs. Moore had suffered
patiently and hopefully, but God ruled
that it was time her sufferings ended
and called her to her home in heaven.
Funeral services were held in the
Methodist church on Sunday morning
and were conducted by Rev. James A.
Geer. A quartet sang number of
hymns. Many people attended the OBJ
sequies and there was a profusion of
beautiful floral tributes. The inter-
ment was at Oak Knoll. .. \ F.
Mrs. Moore was born in Greenbush
on September 26, 1865, and had lived
in Princeton as the helpmate of her
husband for many years. When 20
years old she began to walk with her
Lord. At that time. she was converted,
baptized and joined the Methodist
church, of which she remained faith
full member until called by death. Her
loyalty to the church, was evidenced
not only by her constant attendance
but, by the services she rendered as
Sunday school teacher, leader of the
Kings Heralds, worker in the Ladies'
Aid society and as member of the
w. c. T. U. and Woman's Relief corps.

Remarkable Man for His Age.

S. P. Woodman, now II years of
age, is remarkably active man. Last
week he personally plowed 20 acres of
land and seeded the same to rye, and
during the season he cut $50 acres of
hay and stacked the greater part of
it alone. With the assistance Of one
man he cares for IS head Of cattle and
IA horses, besides doing numerous
chores on the farm. He tells us that
had he not kept on working he would
likely have been either. dead or crippled
with rheumatism long ago. AS it is
he is as straight as an arrow, has an
appetite like horse, and is as elastic
as two-year-old broncho.

The POTATO MARKET
Local Buyers Adopt Government Plan
of Buying by Hundredweight
Instead of by Bushel.
Car Shortage the Most Serious Prop
osition Which Now Confronts
the Potato Shippers.

Potatoes are coming in from the
growers in large quantities and the
Princeton market has been strong and
active throughout the week.
The government regulations for the
handling of potatoes by the hundred
weight instead of the 6O-pound bushel
have been adopted by local ware
housemen and it is evidently an i'm
provement on the old system, as
weights and prices can be more easily
figured. The change is expected to
puzzle some Of the farmers for a time
but they will soon get accustomed to
it.
The general range Of prices has been
from $500 to $3.40 per hundredweight
for Triumphs, $1.75 to $1.9O for Ohios,
and SLIGO to $1.75 for other varieties.
Car shortage is the most serious
matter which now confronts the ware
housemen- not alone local buyers but
those of the entire northwest, and this,
of course, has most disappointing in
f1uence upon the potato situation. In
Princeton the warehouses-num
about 25-are approaching a state of
congestion, and this means that unless
relief in the shape Of more cars is
speedily Forthcoming buyers will be
compelled to suspend operations. In
some parts Of the country thousands
of bushels of potatoes are rotting in
the fields for lack of Transportation
facilities, but the situation is not that
bad here.
1t is estimated that from Is to IS
per cent of the undug potatoes in the
northwest have been damaged by
frost. This means an advance in
prices. ~ ..-.
During the week few cars of Tri-
umphs and Ohios have been received
here from the Red River valley.

Selling by the Hundredweipht

Now that the potato buyers have
adopted the rule Of buying by the
100 pounds, farmers who have been
used to selling by the bushel are so+ne-
what confused. It is a very simple
matter to ascertain the price per
bushel of 60 pounds when the dealer
otferes so much per 100 pounds. For
instance: the dealer offers Slipper 100
pounds for load of potatoes; multi
ply the price $1.75 by 60; point off
the last two figures and the remainder
will give the price per bushel in cents,
$1.75 x 60 equals $1.O5, which is the
price per bushel at SITS per 100
pounds. ss>
