Sidney Crayens Dead.

An item in the Minneapolis Tribune
of the 21st inst. tells of the death of
Sidney Cravens at McKenna, Wash,
recently. Sidney was the victim of
mysterious malady that caused the
death of his wife and son nearly
year ago. The nature of the disease
has baffled the skill of the physicians
to determine. He is survived by a
little daughter Sidney was born in
Princeton and must have been about
so years of age. He had resided here
until few years ago, when he went
west. Sidney was a big, good-na-
tured man when he left here and In
the natural course Of events ought to
have lived to attain a ript old age.
His numerous acquaintance here will
regret to learn of his untimely death.

Cork Came Out Of Hive.

well" remarked Charley Gaulier
soto voce, after scratching his head
and toying with his whiskers, Il guess
I'll take a hive of bees down to the
Red Cross auction" So he proceeded
to his apiary, closed up the door Of a
hive and started with his donation
toward the town hall. On the way
however, the bees forced an exit and,
spipbably taking Charley,,s whiskers
for a bunchssof alfalfa, entered the
brush in myriads. Charley placed the
hive by. the roadside and returned
home, where he combed the bees from
his whiskers. His hide is so tough,
he tells us, that the bee stings had no
effect. Had Charley reached the auc-
ton room before the cork came out
Of the hive there would certainly have
been a stampede.

Card Numbering Halted.

Registration cards now turned in
will not receive a serial number.
Draft boards received an order to this
effect on September Fl.
The purpose of the order is to clear
the way for the big drawing to be held
in Washington soon, when the regis
trants will be given their order num-
bers.
Cards received later probably will
be given a. letter, in addition to the
order number, to indicate when they
were turned in. This was the practice
under the former draft. 1t is said to
do away with any chance of favorit-
ism.
The boards have worked at top
speed forwarding the cards to Wash
ington, and few will be delayed.
Questionnaires are not moving SO
rapidly, but the boards expect to have
all of them out before the expiration
of the ten days following their re-
ceipt. The ten days will expire next
Saturday.

stopped, together with recruiting for
the army shortly before the new 10 to
As manpower act went into effect, will
be resumed on October 1.
Men who desire to enlist in the
marines will make application and be
examined at the marine corps re-
cruiting stations exactly as has been
done in the past. Neither the army
or. navy officers have been notified to
resume recruiting.
The names Of those acceptable for
enlistment will be forwarded to Pro-
vost' Marshal General Crowder in
). Washington, who will then notify the
local board with which the man is
registered to direct him to report to

then be enlisted and transferred to a
training station.
Quotas will be given each month
for marine recruiting, and after these
quotas have been filed no further en-

No FALL COUR I TERM
Judge Roeser Acquiesces in Sugges-
ton Of Local Board Officers
to Postpone Session.
Hence the October Term Of Court Will
Be Continued and Combined
With March Term.

"
Chairman Harry Shockley and Sec
rotary Doane, Of the local registra-
ton board, conceived the idea that, in
view Of the fact that the grand jury
room is now used as a branch Of the
war department, that the court room
is being utilized as school, and that
farmers are unusually busy, it would
be well to petition Judge Roeser, for
public convenience, to continue the
term Of the district court to next
March and thus combine the two ses-
sions. The members Of the Mile Laos
county bar having approved Of this
plan, Sheriff Shockley and Secretary
Doane drove to St. Cloud on Monday,
explained to the judge the prevailing
situation, and suggested that he con-
tinue the term of court to next spring.
County Attorney Myron and Attorney
IS. p. Skahen also joined with Messrs.
Shockley and Doane In the request
that no fall term Of court be held.
The Judge readily acquiesced in the
proposition and advised that his de-
cision in the matter be published in
the Princeton Union. ss B

Red Cross Linen Shower.


There is scarcely home in all this
broad land but has some dear one in
the service of the country some boy
who has gone off prepared to do his
duty wherever he may be placed.
So when call goes out for help to
provide some comfort or necessity for
these boys it is a personal call that
reaches to the very core of every
family circle.
We here at home are surely pre-
pared for any sacrifice that this war
our boys are fighting may be won.

asked for it should flow forth in a
lavish stream. We are but giving for

Indians Identify Bootlegger.

y A couple Of Indians were arrested
on Saturday night by Marshal Fox
for drunkenness and, upon being ques-
toned, said they obtained the liquor
from a man at Foley. Sheriff Shock

to take the prisoners to that town
and turn them over to the county at

also accompanied by the marshal. The

Loses Life in France.

Mrs. Mary Hamilton Of Greenbush
has received word that her nephew,
Lieutenant Lloyd a. Hamilton of the
18th American Aero squadron, has
lost his life in France. He was the
only son Of Rev. and Mrs. John. A.
Hamilton of Burlington, VT, and the
Daily News of that place gives a long
account Of the manner of his death.
It seems that he was sent forth with

Potato Prices Fall OF.

In consequence of congestion at
outside points potato prices of table
stock in the Princeton market fell off
considerably this week-from 10 to
70 cts. per cwt. Triumphs, however,
have held their own at from S2.1O to
1925. Outside demand for potatoes
has shown falling off and some of
the local buyers did not make any
purchases this week: 1t is expected
that within a day. or two, however,
the market will resume normal condi-
lions and prices probably go higher.
Princeton buyers have paid top
notch prices this season, keeping in
advance of surrounding country
towns, and holding UP the reputation
of this place as the greatest potato
market in the northwest.
Large quantities of potatoes are
coming to market and table varieties
are being shipped out at the rate of

from the usual way. You are asked
not to buy these supplies unless there
is no other way, but you housewives
are asked to go through your house,
hold linens and to sacrifice some Of
your best to meet this demand.
There is no doubt that Princeton and
all Mile Laos county ever generous
will quickly come to the front to
meet this allotment. The only diff
Guilty foreseen is the procuring Of ar
ticles Of the specified dimensions.
That these measurements must be adj
hered to may seem, at first thought,
unnecessary, but the shortage Of ship
ping space now requires the most ac-
curate packing, and big hospitals,
where thousands Of patients are cared
for, require business like uniformity
as regards supplies, which must be
maintained in order that everything
may move smoothly.
For obvious reasons all articles
must be new, or nearly so, and clean.
Preferably they should be strong and
durable rather than fine.
The names of a few of our Mile
Laos county boys have already ap-
peared on the casualty lists. Any
night may add more names to these
lists. You may be giving something
that will be needed for the proper

Red Cross Day at Blue Hill.

AsCu tSAOSSE LAY dC DUO lls
The Blue Hill Red Cross sale on
Wednesday, September 10, was a
great success for that branch of the
Sherburne county chapter. Every
thing available was turned into
money. Articles Of all descriptions
were disposed Of at auction, and the
success of the day is greatly due to
the auctioneers, Clarence Taylor Of
Blue Hill and n. M. Miller of Big
Lake, and we owe them hearty thanks.
Z A seeder Of prehistoric times caused
much merriment and was sold over
and over again. Being a relic Of an
tiquity, spectators were charged from
a quarter to dollar to view this odd
machine. The neat sum Of $3.50 was
realized from it.
The ladies served a fine dinner
which Melted $500.
A service flag containing ~ stars
was made by the ladies and dedicated
to the town Of Blue Hill. This flag
was carried by four girls and the
amount Of $500 was thrown into it.
Besides this there were booths, for
tune tel1ers, dolls, soldier boy and
nurse, who were glad to get ones
dimes and quarters.
The total amount taken in from
different sources amounted to little
over 5000. The exact amount cannot
be stated at this time.
Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Perry gave in
teresting speeches. We thank them.
We also thank the Princeton people
and all in general who helped make
the day a success.

Work of an Incendiary.

Between 2 and o'clock on Tuesday
morning Mr. and Mrs. Dell Pierson
were awakened by smoke and discov-
cred that Marks store was on fire. A
ready response by the. fire department
to a call doubtless saved the greater
part Of the stock. "A good many boxes
Of shoes were, however, destroyed and
some damage resulted from the water.
Sjoblom's pool hall was also damaged.
The fire originated in the basement
which runs under Marks store and the
pool hall, on the Sjoblom side, and
kerosene saturated excelsior found
and preserved by the village marshal
tells the tale. A light partition divid-
ed the two cellars and they were vir-
tua1ly empty. Access could be easily
obtained to either part Of the base
ment through a door on the east side
Of the building.
There is no clue to the perpetrato1
of the deed, but that the fire was of
incendiary origin the police authorities
feel confident.

shaPs department, st. Paul, were here
this morning to investigate the cause
Of the fire. From remarks that Mr..
