Representatives of Czech
Nation Demand the Right
of Self-Determination

Washington March 14.-Repre-
sentatives of the Czech nation at
Prague have made a public declara-
ton of their nations unshakable
will and unassailable right to self
determination and complete polit-
ical independence from Austria. All
reports of the proceedings of the
Czech representatives were ordered
suppressed by the Austrian censors,
but details have reached the Czecho-
Slovak national council here and to-
day were made public.
The constituent assembly of the
Lands of the Bohemian Crown met
in Prague Janpary with more than
ESQ Czech deputies of the Austrian
Reichrat and the national Diets of
Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, elect
ed by the free choice of the people
of the Czech lands, in attendance,
constituting a legal representation
of the whole nation.
The declaration, adopted by unan-
imous vote. is looked upon as proof
of the sentiment of the whole
Czecho-Slovak nation and of their
attitude towards the government
and the ruling classes of Austria. 1t
cites the declaration of the Czech at
the time of the Franco -Prussian
war. when they said: "All nation
alities, be they great or small, have
the same right to self-determina-
ton, and in the same manner they
must be considered equal" Contin-
uing, the present declaration states
in part:
we, the representatives of the
Czech nation. true to the principles
established by our predecessors, are
greeting with joy the fact that all
states built on the principles of de-
mocracy, whether belligerent or
neutral also consider this right of
free determination of nations to
be guarantee of general and
lasting peace.
We solemnly protets against the
refusal of the right of self-deter-
mination of nations at the confer
ence at Brest-Litovsk, and demand
that. in compliance with this right,
all nations, and, therefore, also the
Czechs, be allowed TO participate
and to defend their rights at the
peace conference.

Most Men Neglect the Blood

When a manor woman-begins to

Tarb0x Family Leaves.

We are exceedingly sorry to chron-
icle the departure this week of Mr..
and Mrs. Karl Tarbox and daughter,
who intend to make their future home
in Anoka. Their removal was made
necessary by the recent death of Mrs.
Tarbox's father, Captain Woodward,
and the consequent need of Mrs. Tar
box being near her mother. Karl, as
he is known to all, has been in the en-
ploy Of the Galley Hardware company
for some ten years and the firm great
ly regrets losing him. He was always
con the job" faithful and obliging in
every way. He was also member of
the Princeton fire department and rem
dered valuable assistance at all fires.
Mr.. and Mrs Tarbox during their
residence here have been good patri-
otto, loyal citizens, ready to do their
"bit" in every undertaking, and will be
greatly missed. The best wishes of
their host Of friends go with them to
their new home.

their raids and drop their murderous
bombs.
In speaking Of the trenches he said
the mud and slime was often knee
deep, that they were overrun by thous-
ands Of rats and that every man was
lousy.
Lieutenant Street exhibited steel
helmet Of the type worn by the allies
and also gas mask, which he placed
in position as worn in an attack and
explained it to the audience.
He closed by advising every one to
purchase Liberty bonds and thus as
sist in fastening the destruction Of
the hellish Hun. The lieutenant took
his seat amid an outburst of applause.
Judge Converse followed Lieutenant
Street in short address imbued with
patriotism in which he praised the
Canadians for their loyalty to country.
He said he was impressed with
speech made by DR.. Adams of Mon
treal, in which the doctor gave figures
of the percentage Of English and
Scotch actively engaged in war duties.
In England, he said, there were z out
of every 10 of population and in Scot
land out of every 5. The Judge re-
lated an incident of woman he met
on a train who, in the course of con-
versation, said that she would rather
know that her son was dead than a
German prisoner.
His talk, which was highly appre-
ciated and applauded, concluded with
an appeal to the people to do their
duty to their country by the purchase
of Liberty bonds.
Attorney Mcmillan then gave a
snort address which was well re-
ceived. He made a strong appeal to
the audience to support the govern
ment by the purchase of Liberty
bonds in the drive which commences
on April Is and urged that they do
the best in their powerfully all they
can possibly afford. He explained the
drive in detail and said that in pur-
chasing these bonds we are not only
assisting. the government to bring the
war to an end but making a safe in
vestment for ourselves.
r. c.. Dunn stated that people who
bought Liberty bonds obtained the
best security in the world that all
the property in the United States was
back of these bonds. There will doubt
less be a premium on Liberty bonds in
the course of time, said the speaker.
The Singing of America" by the
audience closed the meeting.

Democratic Nominees.

At the conference of state democrats
in st. Paul last week nearly one thou
sand delegates were in attendance and
the following ticket was recommended
to the democratic voters at the pri-
mary election:
Governor, Fred E. Wheaton, Mime
apolis; lieutenant governor, Charles H.
Helweg, Fulda; secretary of state, Ed
ward 1ndrehus, Foley; state treasurer,
D. D. Devine, Albert Lea; state audi
tor, L. w. Huntley, Grand Rapids; at
torney general, B. B. Gislason, Mime
ota; railroad and warehouse commits
sioner, f.. G. Hall, Minneapolis; clerk
of the supreme court, Charles A.
Lethert, st. Paul.
The present supreme court judges
were Endorsed for nomination, and no
candidate was recommended for Unit
ed States Senator, which virtually
amounted to an Endorsement of Sena-
tor Knute Nelson.
Senator James A. Carley had a
strong support for governor, but the
big cities and the Fred Lynch follow
ing backed Wheaton and he could not
help winning. But it matters little as
in all probability Governor Burnquist
will be the republican candidate.
Our old friend Thomas J.. Meighen
of Preston, who is the Nonpartisan
candidate for state treasurer, narrow
ly escaped an Endorsement for the
same position by the democrats, but
Mr.. Meighen refused to say whether or
not he had accepted the Nonpartisan
nomination and D. D. Devine of Albert
Lea was the victim. It matters not,
for Henry Rines, the present state
treasurer, is the most popular official
in the state capitol; he will certainly
be renominated and he is unbeatable.
Our neighbor, Hon. Edward Indre-
hus of Glendorado, was Endorsed for
secretary of state. It is an empty
honor, for julius Schmahl is as hard a
man to beat as Henry Rines. We hope
Mr.. Indrehus will file for the house
again. In the house he can be Of ser
vice to his county and the state. Such
capable, conscientious men as Mr.. In
drehus are needed in the legislature.

|456 TONS RECEIVED
Starch Factory's Receipts Of Potatoes
Aggregate This Amount for
Week Ending Tuesday.
Potatoes Are Coming In Rapidly
and Day and Night Shifts
J.
Are Now Employed.

Princeton's big starch factory is
now in operation night and day, Man
ager Sampson having employed more
men. With two shifts he believes he
can keep up with the immense potato
receipts.
During the past week there has been
a continuous procession of wagons
moving toward the factory to unload
their contents and, from Tuesday of
last week to Tuesday Of this, over 456
tons of potatoes have been received
or, to give the exact weight, 912,31O
pounds. At 60 cents per cwt. this
means that the farmers received from
the starch factory during the week
named the sum of $5,473.86, which,
had it not been for the opening
of the plant, could not have been
realized. Even though a portion of
these potatoes had been sold to the
warehousemen and a part fed to the
live stock, a large quantity would have
been dumped on the fields to rot.
HHence the advantage is to the grower.
The drying apparatus has been put
into operation and Mr.. Sampson finds
it does perfect work. A few tons Of
starch has already been made.
George Tapley, an expert starch
maker from Maine, is here to assist
Mr.. Sampson, and there is, with two
shifts of men, plenty Of work for both
Of them.
R. L. Pitcher, the head Of the Pitcher
corporation, was here yesterday and
expressed himself as being well
pleased with the acquisition Of the
Princeton factory. Since purchasing
the factory at this place Mr.. Pitchers
company has bought six other plants,
making the corporations holdings ID
factories besides one which is leased.

The grand jurors at this term of
court made record time in hearing the
mass Of testimony adduced and max
ing their decisions. They performed
the most expeditions work Of any
grand jury in the history Of this coun-
ty.
County Attorney Myron has made
good during his incumbency, and the
fact that he has won every important
case which he has prosecuted is proof
thereof. If we remember rightly he
lost one insignificant case and that was
no fault Of his. He has attended
strictly to all details of his official
work-he is a painstaking, competent
official.
Judge Willard L. Converse Of South
ST. Paul presided at this term Of court
and it was the first time Princeton
people were honored with his presence.
He will be remembered, however, for
his fair decisions. Judge Converse is
gentleman well versed in the intri-
cacies Of legal procedure he gave ev-
cry case careful consideration and
made such disposition thereof as con-
formed with law and justice.
Philip Woodward, who is almost as
much at home in Princeton as he is in
his bungalow at Mile Laos lake, re-
ported the court proceedings. Philip
likes Princeton people and Princeton
people like and welcome him every
time he puts in an appearance. The

year and always found him gentle
