Camp WadswOrth.


This is the sort Of place the boys
who leave Princeton tomorrow will go
to for training:
Situated $50 feet above sea level, at
the foot Of the Blue Ridge mountains,
surrounded by pine trees, Camp Wads-
worth is an ideal location for mill
tary training camp. Military experts
who have visited this camp, including
Major General Leonard Wood, have de-
clared that no more suitable location
has been chosen in any part Of the
United States. The camp embraces
approximately 5000 acres of land.
The soil is sandy and for the most
part gently rolling. The main camp
is about three miles east of Spartan
burg, which is one Of the south's his
'toric locations. Eighteen miles from
this city is where the battle Of Cow

Much Damage Done by. Storm.

A terrific wind, rain and hail storm
from the northwest struck this terri
tory on Friday evening and played
havoc with growing crops. In Bogus
Brook, Spencer Brook and Wyanett
the hail stripped cornstalks bare and
destroyed large acfeages Of small
grain. It also did considerable damage
in parts Of Greenbush, Blue Hill and.
,Sherburne county. Some farmers lost
all their crops with the exception Of
potatoes the Nhailstones were of such
large proportions that they literally
crushed small grain and hammered it
into the earth. The storm did but lit
tie damage in Princeton village, where
no hail fell.
It is to be regretted that so many
fields Of fine grain were destroyed just
las farmers were preparing for the har-
vest. The prospects for big yield
were never more promising in this ter
ritory, and some farmers who sus-
tanned heavy losses relied largely upon
their grain crop to meet their obliga-
tions. However we should be thank
full that the storm was only local in
it's scope.

Fraudulent Enlistment.

Misstatement of age in enlisting
constitutes fraud, and hundreds of
boys have been discharged from the
army recently upon application of
their parents, who presented proof of
the fact that they were under Is years.
The consent of parents or guardian is
not necessary if boy is over 18 years
of age and wishes to enlist in the
army It is necessary, however, that
he furnish documentary evidence to
the recruiting officer that he is above
the age of 10 years. Hereafter young
men under the registration age, upon
application for enlistment, must prove
to the satisfaction of the recruiting
officer that they have reached that
age. A birth certificate, certificate of
baptism or school certificate showing
exact age will be accepted. If the
foregoing are not available affidavit
Of parent or guardian with legal
evidence of guardianship must be
presented.

American-British Draft Compact.

All British subjects in the United
States are subject to American draft
regulations on exactly the same foot
ing as American subjects, according to
official advices from the British con-
sui general at Chicago, The letter
interprets the resolutions %. the recent
draft convention, ratified by the Unit
ed States senate and by the govern
ments of Great Britain and Canada.
"Great Britain is not going to draft
its subjects in this country" said Mr..
Walton, British vice consul in Mime
apolis. "Great Britain is saying to
this country, MY subjects are yours
during the continuance of the war.
They shall be subject to the same draft
and to the same exemptions unless
they enlist voluntarily in the British
or Canadian armies
"Americans in Canada with the
Canadians draft limits Of 20 to As
years are subject to the Canadian
draft under this agreement, while
Canadians and other British subjects
in this country within the American
draft ages, Fl to 81 years, are subject
to be drafted into the American army"

Keep Up the Roads.

We hope those who have the matter
in charge will see to it that the state
road leading east from town is prop
erly maintained. Just at present it
needs patching up in places. A few
loads of, gravel judiciously applied
would prove extremely beneficial.
There is no earthly use in building
better roads if they are not properly
maintained, and a gravel-surfaced
road can be maintained at small cost
if it is attended to at the right time.
The village authorities should also see
to it that the roads within the village
limits are not overlooked. We refer
especially to. the Cambridge road from
the East Branch bridge to the village
limits, and to the Cravens hill road.
A few loads. Of gravel is all that is
necessary and the cost would be
trif1ing. Keep up the roads.

Latest War News.

No longer is the initiative with the.
Germans along the Marine. More than
q week ago the French Americans
assumed the offensive and have held it
ever since. The Germans have been
driven back across the Marine and are
still being driven. There is quarter
OF million Americans on this front
and they are bravely fighting side by
side with the French veterans and are
covering themselves with glory. Re-
peatedly unframed Americans have
demonstrated that they are more than
a match for the so-called German
shock troops. An immense quantity
Of guns and munitions have been cap
tured by the allies and 10000 prisoners
taken. The German casualties in the
past ten days is estimated at 15O, 900.
But the Huns are hurrying up re-
serves and the resistance is stiffening.
The latest reports, however, Indicate
that Franco-American forces are still
pushing forward and the German re-
treat may degenerate into rout. The
Wanted great German peace drive has
been abruptly terminated and the tide
of battle is running steadily in favor
of the allies.

Chautauaua Closes,

The Midland chautauqua concluded
it's series Of entertainments, which
drew big houses at every session, on
Friday evening.
On Thursday, July Is, the principal
features were the Columbia Sextette,
comprised Of ladies, who gave musical
renditions and dialect stories which
were particularly entertaining, and
patriotic addresses by George H.
Nickels. Mr.. Nickels' subject was
The Powerful Foe" which he handled
in a masterful manner and every now
and then throughout his discourse
punched the kaiser metaphorically
speaking lin the head and 1ambasted
the pro-Germans. The address was
highly instructive and much appre-
ciated.
On Friday Charles Taggart, "The
Old Country Fiddler" delighted the
audience with his specialties and j. G..
Sanders delivered forceful addresses
on "Assets VS.. Liabilities" which COW
cred all phases Of existing conditions.
Like Mr.. Nickels, he paid his respects
to seditionists and handled that bloody
scoundrel, the Fiend Of Berlin, without
gloves.
At the commencement Of Friday
evenings program the children Of the
Junior Chautauqua gave their Liberty
Torch" pageant, which was patriotic,
picturesque and pleasing. @

Fine Crop Prospects.

Crops are certainly looking fine in
the northeastern end Of Princeton
township and in the southeastern end
Of Bogus Brook township. All small
grain, especially wheat and oats,
promises a big yield. There is a
larger acreage of wheat than usual,
probably 100 per cent more, and some
fields will go as high as 80 bushels to
the acre. In fact there is not a poor
field OF wheat in the locality referred
to. There is also every indication of
great potato crop. Hay, wild and
tame, is the only crop that will not be
up to the average. With favorable
weather the farmers of this favored
section of Mile Laos county are bound
to reap a bountiful harvest.

Home Cooking for Boys at Front.
Embodied in cablegram from Paris

Home Cooking for Boys at Front.
Embodied in a cablegram from Paris
is the following:
"Give them the comforts, the foods,
and the specials Of their boyhood" In
this one sentence may be told the
service of the Salvation army to the
men of Pershing's soldiers.
Near the front an effort is made to
give the men home cooking. Our ma
tional foods, pies and cakes, and the
humble doughnut are prepared in huts
near the trenches, giving the men a
feeling Of being near home.
The women workers are almost con-
stantly in the second line trenches and
often go to the first line when aid is
urgently needed. Their especial work
is to serve chocolate and coffee to the
men Of the ammunition trains carrying
shells to the guns. They work all
night in the danger zone giving re-
freshments that would otherwise be
impossible to obtain. Pay is accepted
when the men are able to pay, but is
never demanded. Men who are trusted
almost invariably pay later.

Mayor Humphrey Pushed Into Cage.

mayor humphrey fuSne0 INTO cage.
It was merely practical joke played
by Marshal Fox and that cut-up,
George Ross, upon the honorable
mayor, but the victim considered it a
dastardly outrage Here's the story:
Mayor Humphrey, Marshal Fox and
George Ross, in accordance with the
law made and provided, destroyed a
quantity Of beer on Tuesday by turn
ing it out upon the grounds Of the
village bastile. It is reported that
neither of them even attempted to take
a swig from bottle while feeding it
to the angleworms, but they seemed to
enjoy the aroma from the bev-
erage to their hearts content.
Having concluded their work Of
destruction, they gathered up the bot
ties and commenced carrying them in
to the cooler George Ross leading the
procession. Upon reaching the cage
George told the mayor-as he had the
heaviest load-to go ahead, which he
did. The steel gates were then
slammed and the honorable mayor
was a prisoner. Trapped by the enc
my, he hurled explosives which would
have staggered Evangelist Bill Sun
day, but no attention was paid to him
the jokers went down town and
called upon F. c. Foltz. They told him
that one Of his particular friends was
in the lookup and wanted him to go
his bail. Il never go anybody's ball."
remarked Foltz, "but I'll go up and
see who he isl
There he found the mayor locked in
the steel cage in temperature of
about 100 degrees with nothing but
empty bottles as companions. His
honor hurled stream of epithets at
his tormentors and became particular
ly ferocious when the marshal told
Foltz he was in for testing the per-
centage of alcohol in beer contrary to
law.
At last, after the mayor had spent
over an hour in the dismal cell, the
jailers turned him loose and. he made
bee line for the village drinking
fountain, where he tapped up at least
a gallon of water and sat down on the
curb to rest. There several peo-
pie who heard he had been locked up
gathered around him and guffawed-
adding insult to injury.

DR.. Eaton Pleased With Position


A letter received from DR.. Avis
Eaton by her. mother says that her
work as resident doctor of the Royal
hospital at Edinburgh appeals to her
very much. While the temperature is
low in Edinburgh, no fire is at this
time permitted in the Royal hospital.
The food is wholesome but there is
none too much Of it, says the doctor.
She has, however, a doctor friend at
the poorhouse, whom she occasionally
visits, and finds that the rations there
are much superior to the hospital fare
and that the building is well heated.
So DR.. Eaton always enjoys visit to
her friend, the poorhouse doctor.
