RED CROSS WORKERS.
Despite influenza Epidemic, Mile Laos
County Chapter Responds
Nobly to Call.
Large Consignment of Heavy, Lined
Vests Are Now on Way to
Soldiers in Siberia.

j
County chapter received from the
Red Cross headquarters in Minneap-
oils 300 sweater vests to be made,
with the request that all other work
be laid aside and that the vests be put
through as quickly as possible. Just
at that time the Princeton workroom,
in common with several others in the
chapter, was closed on account of the
prevalence Of Influenza, and this ex-
ira task seemed almost too much to
attempt, but, as always, the women
were not willing to refuse to do any
thing that was to add to the comfort
Of our brave fighting boys, so the
allotment was accepted.
The usual allotments were assigned
to the different branches. This allot-
ting is regulated by the amount in the
treasury Of each branch, so the bur-
den of expense was distributed as
usual, but the vests were apportioned
out to be made in the branches where
the workrooms were open and where
the work could be rushed through.
5 A second urgent letter from head
quarters served to speed up the work.
The Milaca and Greenbush branches,
in their usual energetic way, assumed
a large share Of the burden Of work
and made far more than their quota.
Princeton was at that time just in the
midst Of it's epidemic Of influenza and
few were able to turn out to the
workroom, but the few faithful ones
who were able responded nobly, so
that by working daytimes, and even
ings until 10 and II o'clock, there
were 80 vests made here. These vests
are serviceable looking garments and
must surely add much to the soldiers
comfort. They are made of heavy
ble-feeced tarcovat, lined with
heavy outing flannel and interlined
with heavy lining paper, which latter
is all quilted on by hand.
The neat, simple appearance of the
finished garment gives little hint Of
the amount of work of the many,
many stitches involved in their MAX
ing.
With the exception of 10, which a
branch caught in the overwhelming
epidemic Of influenza was unable to
finish, the whole allotment was fin
ished, folded and packed into the re-
~quired which in itself was no
small job-and shipped, to headquar-
tiers inside of three weeks time, ready
to be included in the big shipment
which is by this time on the way to
our boys who are helping to restore
order in Siberia.
So far as we know none of our Mile
Laos county boys are in that cold des-
olate region, but we are surely glad
to have done our bit toward making
the boys who are there more comforta-
BILE. The following table designates
the allotments assigned according to
the expense borne by each branch and
according to the amount Of work done.
No reflection is cast on the branches
that could not attempt their .allot-
ments. On the contrary, the work Of
some Of the branches, although it ap-
pears small in quantity, represents
much effort and sacrifice of time by

(Reduced to an absurdity1.
Will the coming session Of the legis-
lature enact tonnage tax law? /
am not prophet nor the son Of a
prophet. do not know My own
opinion is that this mining industry,
under present conditions Of fixed
prices and the tax laws, including that
Of income tax, must be making only a
reasonable profit and paying reason
able tax. If these conditions should
cease to exist, it will probably be
necessary to enact such legislation as
will meet the new conditions. We shall
know more about this later, and it will
then be time to discuss it. For the
present it should be gratifying that
those who have been aching to get
$10,000,000 tax from the industry to
know that it has already been paying
considerably more than that amount.
The volume Of business and taxes paid
for 1917 are as follows:
Tons of shipped 45,39s, 1877
Taxes paid by mining companies. S10,595,2s

Golden Wedding.

OOlQen WeQOlng.
Those good townspeople, Colonel
and Mrs. Henry Newbert, celebrated
their golden wedding at the home Of
their son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. j. M. johnson, in Minneap-
oils, on Thanksgiving day. The event
partook Of the nature of a family re-
union, Mr. and Mrs. George Newbert
Of Mora and Mrs. j. w. White and
daughter of Russelville, Ark, being
present in addition to the first named.
There was no wedding ceremony as
the Colonel and Mrs. Newbert wished
to dispense with all formalities and
enjoy good old-fashioned celebration,
and the colonel tells us this was fully
accomplished. There was a feast Of
plenty and a flow of soul, and the day
passed altogether too rapidly for this
happy, joyous family gathering. Many
beautiful presents were conferred upon
Colonel and Mrs. Newbert and this
brought forth an address from Henry
which is said to have been the crown
ing effort of his life in the speech
making line.
Colonel Newbert was married on
November 26, 1868, at Bethel, Anoka
county, Mimi, to Miss Augusta E.
Smith, and in 1880 they came to
Princeton to live. Here they continue
to reside.
In extending it's hearty congratula-
tions to Colonel and Mrs. Newbert the
Union hopes that they may live to en-
joy many another year of happiness.

JAPAN WILL NOT
INTERFERE IN CHINA

A PACIFIC PORT, April 22-China
is Solving internal troubles and Japan
will not interfere with Chinese affairs
declared K. Debuchi, who is here to-
day on bis way to Washington to be-
come secretary to the Japanese en-
bassy, and who was first secretary
of the japanese legation at Peking.
"The internal troubles between
north and south China have been
grave" said Debuchi. but the men
ace of the Germans in the west seems
to be aiding in a consolidation of the
peoples of China. Japan will not in
terfere with China. No other govern
ment should. There have been men
in Japan who have said Japan must
settle China's troubles, but China is
settling them. 1t may take some
time before there is a union, but I
believe it is in sight.
There are very few Germans in
China now Their propaganda is not
as serious as it was before China sent
the German minister away and ousted
his agents"

FORMER PREMIER
OF AUSTRIA DIES
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, April 22.-Baron
Gautsch Won Frankenthurn, former
Austrian premier is dead at his home
in Vienna, says dispatch from the
Austrian capital.
Baron Gautsch Won Frankenthurn
had been three times Austrian pre-
mier his last term in that office a
brief one, coming to close late in
1911. nearly three years before the
outbreak of the European war. His
name had not figured frequently since
in Austrian political chronicles. He
was 81 years of age. His father was
government employe and his title
of baron was an acquired one, con-
ferred in 1889.
The baron's early essays in poll
tics were along educational lines and
he was accounted a reformer of note
during the years he was head of edu-
cational affairs in Austria He met
with less success, however, in trying
to compose racial differences in the
monarchy during his premeriships,
although he bore considerable repu-
tation as an adept at compromise.

The appeal of the federal govern.

committee, to the citizens of Wayne
county, relative to further subscrip.
tions to Liberty Loan bonds, is bear
ing fruit.
The banks in Richmond and in most
of the outside towns, Monday received
numbers of applications for bonds and
the county committee is hopeful that
the over-subscription will reach $780,
600 at least
At the present time. however, based
on returns made by the banks direct
to the federal reserve bank, Chicago,
the total sales credited to Wayne
county are $1.137, 900, or $37, 900 over
the county's quota.
However, these figures do not cor.
respond with reports received by the
committee from the banks, showing
that some of the Wayne county banks
have not yet made complete returns
to the federal reserve headquarters
1t is probable that the total over sub.
scribed to date is 100000.
Next Friday is the day designated
