.RINES MAKING GOOD
State Auditor ]. "A. O. Preus is Ever
on the Alert to Protect the
Interests Of the State.
a Fledgling Limb of the Law Aspires
to the Important Office Of
Attorney General.

The subjoined paragraphs are taken
from Vance Chapman's Weekly letter
to the country press, and are interest
ling:
"A Minneapolis daily paper this
week printed a picture of Mayor Van
Lear's headquarters in that city that
speaks volumes. The headquarters
are located on the second floor of
building located on one Of the princi-
pal streets of the city. Below is a
saloon. Plastered on every available
inch Of wall space are banners and
placards extolling the merits of those
sailing under the socialistic standard
and conspicuous among the number is
the Nonpartisan candidate for COVER
nor, c.. A. Lindbergh. The others in
clude Ernest Lundeen, for congress,
Lynn Thompson, socialist candidate
for councilman and Van Lear for
mayor. Truly, birds of a feather
flock together.
No, State Auditor J. A. o. Preus is
not a German or even of German
descent, as some would have. He is a
Norwegian and his family is so we'll
known throughout the length and
breadth of the northwest, where his
father, DR.. C. K. Preus, has been at
the head and front of things having to
do with the progress and prosperity
of this sturdy nationality in Minnesota,
| Wisconsin and Iowa. State Auditor
Preus is being opposed by the Non
partisan league, but the chances of
getting his official scalp is small. i
The state board of arbitration,
resurrected by Gov. Burnquist after
long period Of disuse, is making
good. Several bad strikes have been
averted through it's good offices. It
is now busy getting the warning street
car factions together and the chances
of success are excellent.
Interest received on state funds in
the hands Of Henry Rines, state treas
urer, for the year ending May 1,1918,
amounts to $17O,721.95, an increase Of
$6O,259.78 over the previous year. It
is the policy of Mr.. Rines to keep as
much of the states funds in the mac
tive accounts as possible, which has re-
suited in large increase in the states
interest account. Included in the in
terest collections for the past year is
$3,567.94. received as interest from
daily deposits of departmental funds.
The law directing daily payments of
these collections was passed by the
1917 legislature at the suggestion of
State Treasurer Rines.
One Of the things that stands out
prominently in this campaign is the
utter disregard by the Nonpartisan
league of fitness in the matter of it's
selection of candidates for state Of
fees. Perhaps the most striking is it's
selection for attorney general. J. v.
Sullivan, young attorney Of st. Paul,
was the man picked, and it now de-
velops that he has had less than three
years of legal experience. On the
other hand Clifford Hilton, at present
holding down the office and candi-
date for denomination, has spent a
lifetime at his profession and has
served the commonwealth in various
legal capacities. Sullivan, too, is of
draft age and is due to be called most
any time. He is now under deferred
classification.

war SAVINGS DRIVE.
Today Campaign for Raising $4,000
in Princeton Through Sale of
Savings Stamps Begins.
No Difficulty Should be Experienced in
Obtaining w. S. S. Pledges for
More Than This Amount.


for the county Of Mile Laos starts to-
day (June g.. This county's allotment
is $253,000 and the allotment for the
village of Princeton is $27, 1000. Coun-
ty Chairman Allison has his force we'll
organized for the big drive and, under
his able management, the campaign is
bound to be a success. In Princeton
village Henry Plaas is. chairman, as
well as being vice chairman of the
county, and it goes without saying
that a thorough canvass will be made.
No great effort should be necessary
in this campaign to put the county
cover the top" as most people are ia
miliar with the purpose of the drive
and know that an enormous sum Of
money is necessary for the govern
ment to carry the war to a successful
issue. Therefore, it is urged that ev-
eryone purchase stamps to as great an
amount as he or she can possibly af-
ford.
The war savings stamp issue is a
plan by which you can lend small sums
to your government at a rate Of in
terest averaging per cent, compound
ed quarterly. A War Savings stamp
will cost you from $4.12 to $423 dur
ing 1918, depending upon the month In
which it is purchased, and on January
1, 1928, the government will pay you
SIS for each of these stamps. A War
Savings certificate. is a pocket-size
folder containing 20 spaces upon which
to affix the stamps. When the 20
spaces upon the certificate are filled
you keep it until January 1,1923, when
the government will redeem it in the
sum of $500. If necessary before Jam
.uary 1, 1923, to cash your War Saw
ings stamps you may do so by taking
your certificate to the postoffice and
giving 10 days notice Of your inten-
ton, but the government does not adj
wise such proceeding.
A Thrift stamp is stamp costing
rs cents to be applied in payment Of a
War Savings stamp. Itdoes not earn
interest. The purpose of it's issue is
to enable people to accumulate in small
sums the amount necessary to pay for
War Savings stamp. A thrift card
contains Is spaces, representing 81.
When filled take it to the postoffice,
pay the extra few cents and get a
War Savings stamp.
While War Savings stamps pay you
well that is not half so important to
you as what your money does for the
boys across the sea. 1T backs them
up, keeps food going to them, keeps
them clothed, keeps their clips full Of
cartridges, provides medical atten-
dance, etc.
When you think over these things
it is reasonable to believe that you
will invest in all the stamps your
means will permit Of that is, if you
are good American citizen. So do
your duty. ;ss.is 81 : * IS ,.>,i
When the solicitor calls upon you
don't enter into a discussion Of the.
war and other things for his time is
valuable. Either sign the card he
presents without argument or leave it
unsigned, 80.

A State Official Who is Making Coco

A State Official Who is Making Good.
Interest received upon state funds
in the hands Of Henry Rines, state
treasurer, for the year ending May 1,
1918, amounts to $170,721.95, an in
crease Of $6O,259.78 over the previous
year. Some of this increase is due to
an increase in funds, but the greater
portion is due to larger deposits hav-
ing been kept in the Inactive banks
which pay three per cent interest as
against two per cent in the active or
checking account banks.
1t is the policy of Mr.. Rines to keep
as much of the states funds in the in
active accounts as possible, which has
resulted in large increase in the
states interest account. Included in
the interest collections for the past
year is $3,567.94 received as interest
from daily deposits of departmental
funds. Previous to May 1, 1917, those
funds were deposited monthly and the
state received no interest for collec-
tions made during the month. The
law directing daily payments of these
collections was passed by the 1917
Legislature at the suggestion Of State
Treasurer Henry Rines.
Since assuming office he has insti-
tuted several reforms in the treasury
department in the interest of economy
and greater efficiency. Mr.. Rines is
serving his first term and is candi-
date for reelection,

BRAVE AMERICAN
AVIATOR BURIED
The Germans Gave Quentin ROOse.
welt All the HOnOrs
of War
Associated Press)

Amsterdam, July 22.-The death of
Quentin Roosevelt is confirmed by a
Wolff Bureau message from the
front, according to a Berlin dispatch
received here. The message adds that
young Roosevelt was buried with
military honors by the Germans. The
story of the fatal encounter as told
by the Wolff Bureau correspondent
follows:
"On Sunday, July Ia, an American
squadron of twelve battle planes was
trying to break through the German
defense over the Marne. In the vio-
lent combat which ensued with seven
machines, one American aviator stub
bornly made repeated attacks. This
eliminated in duel between him and
a German non-commissioned officer
who, after a short fight. succeeded in
getting good aim at his brave but in
experienced opponent, whose machine
fell after a few shots near the village
of Chambry, ten kilometers north OF
the Marine.
His pocket case showed him to be
Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt of the avia-
tion section of the United States
army. The personal belongings of the
fallen airman are being carefully
kept with a view to sending them
later to his relatives. The earthly re.
mains of the brave young airmar
were buried with military honors by
| German aviators near Chambry, al
the spot where he fell"
