Local Potato Market Stronger and
Quotations FOR Table Stock
Advance Is to Is Cents.
Triumphs, However, Decline Several
Points Below Those Which
Prevailed Last Week.

- n .
The local potato market has shown
greater strength this week and prices
for table stock have advanced from Is
to g cents per cwt. over last weeks
quotations. Daily fluctuations have
prevailed, but this is not unusual with
the spud market, which outmaneuvers
the stock exchange for ups and downs.
Triumphs have gone down from 10
to y cents, which is largely due to
heavy wheat shipments to the, south
from other parts of the country.
Outside demand is light, say the
buyers and prices are not sufficiently
high in the big market centers to
warrant shipping in large quantities
at this time. Hence shipments have
been light during the week.
Rain and consequent bad roads
somewhat slackened the hauling Of
potatoes to market by growers this
week, but receipts have, nevertheless,
come up to the average.
Large quantities Of potatoes, it is
stated, still remain in the hands of
farmers.

A Monument of Reptiles.

A monument of snakes, probably
the most unique ever raised, is being
made at the Carnegie Museum here,
and when complete, the memorial will
occupy a glass case in the Gal
lery Of Serpents, a tribute to the
memory of Augustus Link, who sew
eral years ago gave up his life in the
pursuit of science.
just before his death Mr.. Link was
lecturing on the topic Of serpents be-
fore class Of Carnegie Institute of
Technology students. He held in his
hand a rattlesnake. At the close of
the lecture Mr.. Link replaced the
snake in glass case and few mo-
ments later student called his at
tention to spot Of blood on the end
Of one of his fingers. Early the next
morning Mr.. Link was dead.
Carnegie Museum, by which he was
employed, has brought from the Isle
of Pines tree in the branches Of
which boa constructor will be twined,
with iguanas, the common lizards Of
Tropical America, as companions.

The Voice Of Loyal Labor.

In a vigorous denunciation Of paci-
fcism, Chester M. Wright, Of the
American Alliance for Labor and De-
s1nocracy, adds the voice Of loyal labor
TO that Of those who are warning
America against peace propaganda
just at this time. Mr.. Wright in a
speech in New York, said in part:
One Of Americas lingering organs
OF pacificism has just published an
editorial attempting to prove that the
american people want peace. The
editorial is based upon premature
peace jubilation that took place in the
middle west, principally in Wisconsin,
when newspaper bulletins announced
that peace had been secured. IS
want peace ? Yes, we do. We're
honest about it. We are not ens1aved,
and piritually. We do
want peace. But, by all that we have
and are, we want peace only when we
have made liberty and democracy safe
for ourselves and for all humanity.
The spirit that fires us in this war is
THE spirit Of the people of America,
bound in single purpose, devoted to
a single cause. No democracy could
fight as ours fights, for cause in
which its people did not believe with
all the depth Of conviction of which
thew are caDab1e We're all IF rs in
this war to the end.
well rejoice when victorious peace
comes through our fighting effort;
we'll rejoice nightly. But until that
moment arrives we have no thought
for peace, no care for peace, no time
for anything but hard, hot war-war
against autocracy and militarism
war for the final and complete free
dom of mankind in democracy made
safe on earth forever"

May Cast Ballots Before Leaving.

!
~ Attorney General Hilton has hand
I ed down ruling that Minnesota vot-
ers leaving with draft contingents or
otherwise entering military service be-
fore November 5, may receive and
mark their ballots for the general cleo
ton before leaving the state. The
ruling is as follows:
When an application is made by or
in behalf of such voters, the county
auditor may deliver ballots to him,
and thereupon the voter may mark
the same in way not disclosing how
he votes.
After the attesting witness, who
may be any county official having a
seal, or any postmaster, has made the
proper certificates, the ballot should
be deposited by him or by someone in
his presence, in the postoffice. Postal
authorities have been requested to hold
these ballots until November 5 and
on that date to deliver them to the
Judges of election.

Mr.. Meighen's Estimate Of Bob Dunn.

Mr.. Meighen's Estimate of Bob Dunn.
Hereunder is printed a letter re-
Gently received from Thomas J..
Meighen, who was offered, but re-
fused, the nomination for state
treasurer by the Nonpartisan league.
Mr.. Meighen is one Of the prominent
men of southern Minnesota and his
standing and integrity in the COM
munity where he lives is Of the very
highest character. He is emphatic in
his resentment of the statements
which have been circulated to the
effect that Mr.. Dunn has always
favored the big interests, and wrote a
letter for use as Mr.. Dunn may see
fit to refute the slanderous state
ments. The letter speaks for itself:
Preston, October II, 1918.
"Hon. Robert G. Dunn,
Princeton, MINI.
"Dear Mr.. Dunn: Having been alb
sent, your favor Of the 5th just came
to my attention. When serving upon
the State Board of Equalization with
you under the administration Of Gov
ernor Lind you rendered splendid SER
vice in favor of the people of this
state. We always had your assistance
when dealing with the Public Service
Corporations and large wholesalers
in the state. It was you who first
called my attention to the fact that
these large favor-seeking interests
were greatly under-assessed.
"In 1904 I supported you for gov
ernor, against the candidate of my
own party, because of your record in
behalf of the people while State Audi
tor.
81 recall very. well that all the
daily papers in the state, which are
controlled by the Railroads, Twin City
Street Railways, the Big Jobbers and
other tax-dodging concerns assailed
you falsely and viciously during your
campaign for governor because you
had rendered valuable aid in forcing
them to pay more taxes than they
had formerly paid.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas ]. Meighen."

In addition new training school
for infantry officers will be estab-
lished December at Camp Fremont,
Cal.
The candidates." the department
says, will be admitted to this school
from enlisted men Of the army and
civil life. With the schools now in
operation, there is not sufficient ma
terial for the army, and it will be
necessary to admit to the new schools
a large number Of civilians.
Civilians who desire to make app
plication for admission to these schools
should apply to the army officer on
duty at the educational institution
nearest their residence. These insti-
tutions are the same as those to which
civilians apply for admission to the
other central officers training schools.
Civilians in Class who registered on
September IL or subsequent to that
date, who may be Y admitted to the
school, will be required to remain in
the service for the period Of the war
If not found qualified for commits
sion upon completion of the course.
Civilians in deferred classification,
except on grounds Of occupation, in
dustry or employment, including agri-
culture, may be admitted to this
school, and if not found qualified upon
completion Of the course, may be dis
charged and have the option of a re-
version to their original classification
under the selective service regula-
tions.'

An appeal has been made by State
Supt. Schulz and Mr.. McGonagle,
chairman Of the relief committee, to
collect clothing through the schools Of
Minnesota for use Of the committee
to be distributed to the unfortunate
fire sufferers in northern Minnesota.
The Junior Red Cross is well adapted

felfnger, manager Of the northern
division A. r. c., has placed the Junior
Auxiliary organization at the disposal
of Mr.. McGonagle and the state de-
partment Of education.
A thorough and systematic canvass
of the village of Princeton will be
made by the high school pupils on FRI
day afternoon, October Is. Winter

garments for men, women and chill
5dren are needed. Also bedding and
towels. The articles must be clean,
whole and usable.
With cold weather and winter upon
US these people need immediate help.
They are facing the most serious and
critical situation that has ever visited
Minnesota. Let US have immediate,
generous and general response for the
stricken people by contributing liber-
ally on the date set for the drive.
Inquiries will be answered by Chair
man Olof Wasenius, Of the Junior

On, magazine Of reconstruction edit

On, q magazine Of reconstruction edit
ed under army supervision, tells. how
Warshoevsky was started on his
training to be q self supporting mem
Der Of society almost as soon as he
entered the hospital in France.
On the fifth day Of his training,
Warshoevsky wrote q letter to his wife
mentioning that he was learning lip
reading. He said that he figured that
he was making q fair exchange hear
ing for an education. Work has al
ready been found for him as soon as
his training is over, and he will earn
more money than he did before he
entered the service. This is army re-
construction work added to his own
will to do.
The crippled men will have their OPP
portunity. Sometimes handicaps like
those Of Warshoevsky are blessings in
disguise. Major Rupert Hughes, who
has seen much Of this work, says that
these wounded men are finding this to
be true. Their handicaps are proving
stimuli to endeavor. Major Hughes
points out that the rich mans son,
who is thought to have "every advan-
tage," has frequently this real handi-
cap. HE has nothing to fight for. He
has nothing to strengthen his muscle
and his determination. He gets every
thing but his clothes ready made"
And so, incidentally, the war is
proving boon to many a son Of a rich
man because he finds that, in fact, he
really has something to fight for
lAfter the war he is likely to "carry
on" and not sit back and let the other
boys forge ahead of him.

Supreme Court Justices Endorsed

Inc supreme court of Minnesota as
now constituted stands high in the es-
timation of the people of the state.
The terms of a majority Of the JUS
tees expire this year. Chief Justice
Calvin L. Brown and Associate JUS
tees Andrew Holt and Oscar Hallam
must be reelected this fall if the
court is to be continued as now consti-
tuted. It would be great loss to the
court and to the state if all or any
of these men failed Of reelection.
Each is an able, experienced, impartial
judge. Each has demonstrated. by
many years Of service, both on the
district. and supreme bench, especial
fitness and qualification for his pres
ent high position
Both the Republican and Democratic
parties, the latter through its state
convention, the former by its state
committee, have, without dissent, in
dorsed the present justices and pro-
nounced in favor of their reelection.
We, lawyers, who collectively rep
resent all classes Of litigants and all
sides Of the questions coming before
the supreme court, unhesitatingly
pledge ourselves, and ask our clients
and all the people Of the state to vote
to re-elect Chief Justice Calvin L.
Brown and Associate Justices Andrew

Linen for France.

3 Linen for France.
Just as was to be expected, Mile;
Laos county responded generously to.
the call for linen for the hospitals Of
France.
Many housewives throughout the.
country gave Of their choicest linens.
wherever the measurements met the.
requirements, and many who had no
suitable linen gave money to purchase
the needed supplies.
Mrs. T. II. Galley was the chairman
here in Princeton and the campaign
she put on was businesslike to the last
detail.
The village was divided into dis
tricts. The woman appointed as So
licitor for each district was instructed
to accept money in lieu Of linen, and
a goodly sum was collected to buy the
linen lacking to make up the quota.
The district for which Mrs. G. Gott-
werth was the solicitor turned in the
largest sum that Of S17.25. Mrs.
Fred Manke's district was second with

Some Of the towels and sheets were
made in the Red Cross workroom, but
Mrs. Galley attended personally to the
making of a large share Of the articles
and to all Of the laundering of Prince
tons quota.
Two Of the branches were unable to
secure anything Of the right measure
ments so their money was sent here.
Their articles were purchased here
and made up in the Red Cross work
room.
J. H. Reichard gave the services Of
his laundry for all linen from out Of
town that had to be made up here or
that came in unlaundered.
The neat bundles Of freshly laun-
deried sheets, towels, handkerchiefs
and napkins that flied the big box in
which they were packed for shipment
were a delight to the eye, and many q

freshness when he is carried sick OF
