and drove away in an automobile. The
amount they secured from the tellers
cage was $4,000, but they dropped
$500 on the bank floor and the side
walk. There were no policemen near

his machine was neck and neck with
theirs they fired several shots and
wounded him in the leg. He was COM.

Mourning in Ireland.

Special cable to the New York Times.
Cork, Jan. 81 have just returned
from Waterford, which presented a
spectacle of a city of mourning.
Women and children mourn the loss of
brave Irishmen who have been ruth
lessly murdered by submarine pirates
in the words of Count Won Luxburg,

Der of either Of the two crews is alive
to tell the tale.
1t has been announced that portion
of the wreckage and a lifeboat belong

been washed ashore on the Welsh
coast. The circumstances of the loss
of the second vessel, which was sunk
a few days afterward, are still mys-
terry.
The second boat left England De-

the passengers and crew had time to
launch their lifeboats or realize their
fate, they went down with their ship.
For the last three weeks women and
children have never left the doors of
the branch Of the Sailors and Fire
mems union, waiting for any news
that may give CLEAN Of hope for lost
ones.
I have heard it repeatedly said here
in Ireland that the Germans would not
attack an 1rish-owned boat or a boat
bound for Ireland. Even seamen were
induced to believe this. Few of those
who have now lost their husbands and
fathers will listen to this kind of talk
again without doing something to ST
lence it.

smoked up and damaged by water,
while the furniture in the Stroeter
rooms did not escape injury. Smoke
pervaded the First National bank
building and telephone office, and the
odor is sticking around there yet.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
Mr.. Schanhaar says that it started in
the northwest corner of the shoe shop.
Some believe, however, that it origi-
mated in the cellar, but Schanhaar says
that the cellar does not extend to the
northwest corner of the room. There
was a stove in the center of the shoe
shop at the time, but there was no
indication that the fire originated
from this source.
William Kaliher owns the Schan-
haar building, which was insured, and
Schanhaar also carries an insurance
on his stock, but Mr.. Nelson had neg
lected to take out policy and conse-
quently has to stand the loss.

The National Debt.

The national debt of the United
States on the first Of January was
$5,615, 100000. While this may look
large to most of us, it is only 2z per
cent Of the national wealth and but
one-fourth of the national debt of any
of the larger countries of Europe.
The combined national debt of our
allies in the war is "a billions of dol
lars, which represents IA per cent of
their national wealth. Our enemies
have national debt Of 40 billions of
dollars, which is equivalent to 2S per
cent of their combined wealth.

Mary Millett.

Mrs. Mary Millett died at the home
of her grandson, Ernest L. White
more, in Minneapolis, on the 10th inst.
She had been in failing health for some
time, but the immediate cause of her
death was heart failure.
The remains were brought to Prince
ton, and, after services held in the M.
E. church last Sunday afternoon, were
inferred alongside those of her hus-
band in Oak Knoll cemetery. Many
Of her old friends did not know of her
death or the attendancezat the funeral
would have been much larger.
Mrs. Millett was born in Maine in
1888. She came to Minnesota about
sixty years ago, and was resident of
Princeton for more than forty-fve
years; four years ago she moved to
Minneapolis where she resided with
her grandson until the time of her
death. She was twice married. Her
first husbands name was Jones, and
her second husband, Hiram Millett,
died several years ago. She had two
children by her first Charles
and Lizzie. Charles is in Washington
state and Lizzie died a dozen years
since. By her second husband She had
one son, Edward, who is a resident of
Bemidji.
Mary Millett was diamond in the
rough. She had brusque manner, but
she was as kindhearted a woman as
ever lived. In sickness and trouble
she was a veritable ministering angel.

Registrants. Take Notice.

When a registrant has filed an agri-
cultural or industrial claim the local
board does not pass on the merits of
these claims. They are forwarded to
the Third district board at st. Paul as
this board has original jurisdiction of
this class of claims. A registrant need
not worry when he gets card from
his local board showing him in class
1, as this is only temporary classifi-
cation given him by the local board
and his final classification will be sent
him by the district board after it has
acted on his agricultural or industrial
claims.

Mrs. F. B. Jones.

Mrs. F. B. Jones died suddenly at
her home in Greenbush on Saturday,
January IL, from heart failure, aged
SO years.
The funeral was held this Thurs
day. afternoon from the family resi-
dence and the interment was in Milo
cemetery.
Mrs. Jones, whose maiden name was
Ada Thomas, was born at Jones'
borough, Ind, on March "a, 1885, and
from there moved to Constantine,
Mich. She was married at that place
to F. B. Jones, who survives her, on
November 6, 1854. In April, 1862,
with her husband, she located at Tay-
lor's Falls and in 1889 moved to How
ard Lake. Since 1897, and until her
death, she and her husband have lived
in Greenbush. Besides her husband,
Mrs. Jones is survived by seven chill
dren, four sons and three daughters,
viz, II. T. and L. F. Jones, Greenbush;
w. E.. Jones, Grand Rapids; L. D.
Jones, Rutledge; Mrs. John Hanson,
Greenbush; Mrs. P. A. Clarke, Lyndon,
Washington; and Mrs. VIM. Robinson,
Kimball. She also leaves 33 grand
children and As great grandchildren.
Mrs. Jones was one of the best
hearted women that ever -kindli-
ness was ever apparent with this
Christian woman. And, doubtless,
that is the reason why God permitted
her to attain such a ripe old age. All
who knew her loved her, for she was
the embodiment of all that was good.

Fire at Schanhaar's Shoe Store.

At about o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing dense smoke permeating the bed
room of Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson, who live
over the Schanhaar shoe shop, awoke
Mrs. Nelson, and she awoke her hus-
band to find that the atmosphere was
impregnated with an overbearing bur-
den Of noxious gases. Mr.. Nelson
wrapped his wife in blanket, carried
her into the hall and phoned Mr.. Stur-
devant to bring clothing of
them having had time to dress. Mr..
Nelson attempted to re-enter the
rooms and recove r his clothes, but the
attempt was futile. Mr.. Sturdevant
responded and Mrs. Nelson was re-
moved to the Sturdevant home in an
unconscious condition. She still feels
the effect of the partial suffocation
and her husband has not fully recov-
cred.
Mrs. M. M. Stroeter, who occupies
rooms in the second story of the
Agency building was almost rendered
unconscious by the fumes from the fire
and was removed to the First National
bank building just in the nick of time.
The girls in the Tri-State telephone
office were forced to abandon their
work, but not until they turned in an
alarm.
By the time the fire department ar
rived, although the boys responded
readily to the call, It was after 4
o'clock and several streams were
turned into the Schanhaar shop and
the rooms above. The flames were
speedily extinguished but considerable
damage resulted.
{ Schanhaar's shoe-repairing machin-
1T was practically ruined, but his
stock of footwear escaped with mere
scorching of the cardboard containers.

TRIUMPHS co TO So
Eating Stock, However, Takes Slight
Decline of Five to Ten Cents
per Hundredweight.
Receipts Normal for This Time of
Year but Shipments Held Back
by Weather Conditions.

The Princeton potato market is prac-
tically normal for this time of year.
Prices Of Triumphs have climbed up to
the s. per cwt. mark, the highest price
paid for this kind Of seed stock this
season. Last week $2.85 was the top
notch price. Burbanks and Russets
have declined 10 cents per cwt. and
Kings 5 cents, while Ohios, Rose and
Cobblers remain the same as last week.
Cold weather has somewhat ham
pered the hauling Of potatoes by grow
ers to the warehouses, but, despite
these adverse conditions, something
like 100 loads per day have been com
ing to market. Many loads were, how
ever, found to be chilled frosted
and this of course depreciates the
value.
Shipments have been particularly
light in consequence of low tempera-
lures, but with warmer weather there
will be a heavy transportation of seed
stock from this point to southern
states. At this time the shipment of
seed potatoes is at least ten days late,
and it has been impossible for buyers
to fill foreign orders although there is
no scarcity Of cars. ss-
Princeton supplies the south with
hundreds of cars Of seed stock every
year, and the reason is that the seed
largely Triumphs-raised here is
superior to that furnished by any
other part of the United States. This
year, especially, potatoes of all varie-
ties are Of particularly fine quality.
There are now 20 potato ware
houses in Princeton besides the auxil-
iary cellars utilized by some of the
firms engaged in buying.

WORK OF RED CROSS
Aims and Accomplishments of This
Great Organization is in Many
Instances Misunderstood.
In This Epoch of Civilization There is
No Reason Whatsoever for
Such Misunderstanding.

There appears to be quite little
misunderstanding about the aims and
accomplishments Of the Red Cross So
ciety. It seems almost incredible that
such should be the case in this age of
intelligence and at a time when news
papers and publications of all kinds are
fairly teeming with articles describing
the humanitarian work done by the
Red Cross. But every day or two
stray remark is heard that exhibits
monumental ignorance in regard to the
subject.
- A farmer on one of our Princeton
sureets was overheard to ask during
the Red Cross drive just what the Red
Cross did besides sending tobacco to
the soldiers. And man was heard to
criticise one of our local churches for
displaying the Red Cross flag. His
remarks were that he did not think a
church a proper place to display a
symbol Of war.
To those who know the real meaning
Of the Red Cross-and everyone in our
enlightened country should be included
in that number-there seems no place
more suitable than a church to display
this emblem of mercy, for, as nearly
as is possible, it gives the teachings Of
Christ. Wherever it goes it carries
healing and comfort. Far from being
symbol Of war it seeks to erase the
curses left by war. 1t erects and main
tains hospitals, canteens and rest
ZONES for the soldiers; it carries re-
lief to the people in the devastated
regions where war has ragged; it aids
the families of Americans now at the
front; it cares for destitute children
a task that will last for years; it
teaches the blind and MANNED soldiers
new callings; it carries cheer to the
inmates of the prison camps; it pur-
chases food for the hungry and clothes
for the needy; it soothes the suffering;
aids the friendless; buries the dead
and builds for the future.
The original work of the Red Cross
was to repair the ravages of war, both
among soldiers and civilians, but some
time ago that was extended to include
aid and relief in all cases of great and
sudden national calamities, such as the
earthquake at San Francisco, the flood
at Galveston and all such disasters.
The Red Cross workers were the first
on the ground after the late horrible
catastrophe at Halifax They took
charge and did all the directing Of the
relief work. The Red Cross also aids
sal anti-tuberculosis society to put up
a fight against the great white plague.
Space does not permit the enumer-
ating of all the different activities of
the Red Cross, but every loyal citizen
should make it his duty to be posted
on this subject in order to combat the
unjust criticism of the ignorant and
the willfully blind.
