Princeton Home Guard Puts Up a
Stiff Game and Vanquishes
Boys From Milaca.
High School Teams of Anoka and
Princeton Do Battle in the
Down River Town.
High School Teams of Anoka and

The Princeton Home Guard Basket
ball team defeated detachment of the
enemy from Milaca at the Armory on
Monday afternoon. The score-37 to
15-shows the superiority of the home
team over the visitors:
In the first half Smith and Umbe-
hooker scored at will, Umbehocker
throwing three field and one free bas-
ket. Smith tipped four fields over the
top in this half.
In the second half Smith and UNI
behocker again demoralized the al
ready shattered defense of the Milaca
basketeers. Smith managed to toss
two more field goals in spite of adittle
hard luck with his range finders. I'm
-behocker came through with four more
from the field, one from the center of
the floor-the only spectacular feature
ofethe game. 49,.
The game was fast and one Of the
cleanest played here for some time.
"Slim" Whitney officiated and the
game was free from wrangling-both
sides were we'll satisfied with his de-
cisions.

The Local Draft BOARD

The work Of classifying registrants
has been completed by the local draft
board and returns are being made to
the district board at st. Paul with all
possible rapidity. This includes all
industrial and agricultural claims and
appeal cases. It will probably be two
or more months before the local board
receives ruling from the district board
in these exemption claims as the Of
ticlals are swamped with work. but
registrants will be Immediately mott
fled upon receipt thereof.
Physical examinations to complete
Mile Laos county's quota of % men
will be held at the court house on
February 1 and 2. Twenty-three will
be examined the first day and % on
the second.
The men selected will not leave for
Camp Dodge before February Is and
probably not then-it all depends on
orders from the war department.

The National Four Minute Men.


DR.. Peatfeld has been appointed by
the government as the local represen-
tative of the "Four Minute Men," a
national organization Of $4,000 Of the
best speakers in the country whose
duty it is to appear once or twice a
week at the picture shows, between
the reels, and give four minute ad-
dresses on some timely topic in con-
nection with the war. These speakers
receive their instructions and informa-
tion direct from the public information
department at Washington, and the
facts that will be presented from time
to time are authentic and correct and
have the endorsement of the national
authorities.
The moving picture proprietors all
over the country have very Loyalty
supported this movement, including
the manager Of our local house. BY
this means an audience Of about ten
million people is reached every week
with authentic information as to the
immediate need. Lest any anti
American or pro-German should in
any way attempt to misrepresent this
work, let it be understood from the
outset that it is entirely voluntary,
there being no fee or salary connected
with it in any way.

NOTES.

The audience was small considering
the weather. The management ex-
presses the hope that the people will
give better support in the future, as
a good team cannot be expected to
keep the field unless properly support
ed at home. &
Smith and Umbehocker played their
customary game as the score shows.
Umbehocker might be criticised for
his throw from the center of the floor
with several men uncovered near the
basket, but as he scored it was all
right.
Hummel seemed to be the mainstay
OF Milaca and to him is to be credited
the most of Milaca's offensive success.
Cute" Goebel managed to amuse
the spectators during the interval be-
tween halves with his comic stunts.
In the last half Ed. Nelson was sub
stituted for Umbehocker, Grow for Ed
Maggert and G. Maggert for Smith.
Among the players scoring were
Grow, 1 field basket; Berg, field
basket; Nelson, 1 field basket; and
Garrison showed that he could not be
held scoreless by throwing two.

A Good and Useful Senator.

Senator L. E. Potter of Springfield,
Brown county, came in last Thursday
evening to consult with Sam Droogs-
ma of Milo with reference to Hereford
cattle. Senator Potter is an extensive
and prosperous farmer and stock
raiser and a fancier of Herefords.
F. He was elected to the state senate
from the Brown-Redwood district in
1914, and served in the 1851 ses-
sions. He was a useful member of the
important finance committee of the
senate at both sessions. He enjoyed the
respect and esteem Of all his fellow
senators, and made good record. He
san all-wool American, and if he
cares to go back to the. senate he
should encounter little opposition, for
just now men of his calibre and pa
triotism are needed in the states legis-
lative halls.

Prepare for Coal Shortage

Federal Fuel Administrator Judge
}. +. MCGEE has initiated a campaign
to increase the use of wood as fuel.
Serious as the present fuel situation is
it may become worse. By next winter
even the householder may be without
coal. A supply of wood on hand will
be the means of preventing suffering.
Householders are urged to lay in a
supply at once. In small towns where
cordwood can be hauled in by teams
it can be secured at lower price than
in larger towns where it must be
shipped in by rail. It is especially in
cumbent, therefore, upon those living
in small towns to plan upon a wood
pile for next summer and winter.

The Second Heatless Monday.

The second heatless Monday was
generally observed in Princeton and
business was almost entirely suspend
ed. The object is to save fuel as was
stated in DR.. Garfeld's explanation
published in our last issue.
The shutting down order was neces-
sary, but common sense interpreter
ton should be given to it's provisions.
If the order were carried into effect
literally it would mean that every lit
tie crossroads grocery store in Mime
sofa should close up every Monday as
long as the order remains in force, to
the great inconvenience of the patrons
of such stores, and with no correspond
ing gain in the saving of fuel, coal
fuel, anyhow, as most of the little
country stores burn wood.
Some people wonder why newspa-
pers are exempted from the order. AL
most every newspaper contains legal
notices that must appear in each issue
once every week during the life of the
notice. The closing down of the office
for one day might prevent the publica-
ton within the week and the notice
would be invalid. Other good reasons
might be adduced why printing offices
are exempted-purely job printing
offices are not exempted.
Drug stores are permitted to sell
drugs and medicines and the reason is
apparent. Food manufacturing estab-
llshments, restaurants and hotels are
also exempted. ..".
The authorities at Washington
deemed the fuel order necessary, and
it is the duty of all good citizens to
cheerfully comply with it's provisions.

WHY .SMILAGE BOOKS. ARE
OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC

book. Every boy in every cantonment
should have at least one. If any boy
receives more books than he can use
it is presumed, Of course, he will divide
with other boys in the camp. Here is
an opportunity to do the boys some
real good and furnish them some clean,
high-class entertainments.
Here's a great big-hearted PROPOSE
ton. Here's one way to make brother,
cousin, sweetheart or good friend in
the ranks realize that he isn't as far
away from you as he feels.
Here's the plan to prove to him that
helping defend our country doesn't
mean losing every bit of fun in life.
+ 1t isn't one of those talk PROPOSE
tions-it exists. It's all ready. It's
past the planning stage. It's real
thing. It's "Smileage.".
"Smileage" means fun, recreation,
entertainments means "going to the
show"
Big theaters, auditoriums or tents,
have been provided in each of the six
teen National Army environments and

Camp Cody, January 25-A cold
wave for this section of Uncle Sans
domain added to the "pep" Of the men
stationed here the past couple of
weeks, but change set in yesterday,
and this morning heavy coats could be
dispensed with.
A recent speech by a Minnesota
congressman, who learned more of
camp conditions during a brief visit
than the average Of US have accumu-
lated in five months, evidently started
something. At any rate distinguished
visitors from Minnesota, including
Governor Burnquist, were here last
week, presumably to investigate con-
ditions. The Minnesotans were shown
every courtesy while here, and di-
vision review was held in their honor.
! have no doubt that on the whole they
found conditions as satisfactory as
could be expected.
This week government insurance has
been pushed with vim, and those who
go into battle uninsured have them
selves to blame. Those who do not
care to avail themselves of the protec-
ton generously offered by the govern
ment at decidedly cheap rate, must
sign a statement to that effect.
Last week our band appeared mount
ed on horses for the first time, and,
while all managed to stick to their
steeds,- the music was a trife wabbly
at times. Thus far we have the only
mounted band in this division.
The personnel office has completed
the religious census of the 34th di-
vision and the figures are interesting.
The Methodists lead with 5,282, while
the Catholics are second with 4,068.
There are only rs atheists but 1896
have no utilization. An amazingly
large number Of denominations are
represented, including Mohammedans,
Buddhists, Brahmans and Mormons.
A number of new mules have furn-
ished not a little excitement in the
supply company, but the "skinners'
are rapidly teaching the animals the
duties expected Of them. They are all
mule, and rather careless in swinging
their legs, but as yet have not been
responsible for single hospital case.
The usual routine continues, but the
men are just about hard-boiled and
eager to lock horns with the Huns.

Milo Mutual Farmers Club.
The following article is published by
request Of c. w. Appler, Foreston:
Service is one of the greatest at
tributes Of human endeavor. Occa-
sionally we find a person whose choic-
est pleasure lies in the act of serving
others with a quiet spirit, though
full Of vigor, working day by day for
the interests of those who appreciate
confidence and ability. Service-to be
able to serve others should be the
goal Of life, though it be everlasting.
It is not fair to continually expect
service Of the world. The question
should be, "Of how much service can
I be?" The delight in answering this
question has been most ably shown by
the secretary Of the Milo Mutual
Farmers club.
On Wednesday evening, January %,
the Milo Mutual Farmers club agree
ably surprised Miss Kennedy at her
home in the town of Milo. Every mem
Der of the club was present, which in
itself shows the esteem in which the
able secretary is held in the organ
ization. The gathering was a
most successful surprise, as the
alarm found Miss Kennedy still in her
"everydays." The evening was most
agreeably spent-the old folks found
themselves just young enough, and the
young folks found themselves just old
enough to partake of all the frolics.
The repast furnished by our capable
housewives was one Of the jewels of
the occasion.
During the course Of the evening
Miss Kennedy was the recipient of a
purse from the members of the club.
The presentation was made by Mrs. II.
Sanford with appropriate remarks.
While this in no measure compensates
Miss Kennedy for the services she has
rendered during her long service, it is
an expression Of confidence and ap-
probation on the part of the club.

on all stock.
The average daily price for the year
1917 for butterfat was 1922 cents per
pound, and the average price, with
dividend added, 45.2 cents per pound
President Meyer stated that whole
salers of salt were discriminating
against the creamery in favor of other
Princeton firms, and this was corrob-
Grated by Manager Warner. No actions
was taken.
The president suggested the use Of
trucks during the busy season for the
purpose Of hauling milk. He said that
the cream would be fresher and that
this would mean higher price being
obtained from eastern markets for
butter, as it would be of higher grade.
Hence, he contended, the cost of a.
truck system would pay for itself. Let
tiers from several creameries in Wis
consin were read showing that it pays
to haul cream with trucks. After con-
siderable discussion motion was
made by Chas. Seifert that the stock
holders vote to determine whether
cream be hauled by truck or not. The
vote decided that there should be nc
hauling by truck.
A motion made to pay for cream
monthly instead Of daily was unani-
mously carried, this decision to go into
effect on February Is.
President Meyer suggested that
cream received be graded and that.
those who bring in sweet cream be
paid higher price than those who
bring in stale. Upon motion it was
decided to adopt this system, the same
to go into effect on February Is.

The government appropriations orthe
military entertainments council Of the
War Department Commission on
Training Camp Activities was only
large enough to build Liberty theaters
in each Of the 16 military environments.
To bring the best comedy, drama,
vaudeville, concerts, light opera and
lectures to these Liberty theaters for
the entertainment Of the soldiers, it is
necessary to charge admission; be-
cause Of the fine spirit of cooperation
and patriotism on the part Of the
theatrical stars the operating expenses
are very low, so that the admission
prices range from 10c to Csc for shows
that cost from SOC to $500 in the city.
Because Of the Liberty bond pay
ments, insurance premiums and money
that most of the soldiers have to send
home, many Of them will be unable to
enjoy the shows and lectures and con-
certs even at these low prices.
