walk from his farm in Greenbush to
Princeton annually for this especial

hopes he may live to realize this, the
greatest ambition Of his useful life.

An Army at Work.

A horde of strikers and glib-tongued
orators are swarming the state Of
Minnesota in behalf Of Lindbergh, and
the farmers are footing the bills. It is
conservatively estimated that 100000
will be expended under the Immediate
direction Of A. c. Townley to give Mr..
Lindbergh the republican nomination
for governor. In the meantime Cover
nor Burnquist has not and will not
deliver single political speech and
not dollar is being expended in his
behalf. Governor Burnquist is leaving
his cause with the people, and we be-
lieve great majority Of the loyal peo-
pie Of Minnesota, irrespective Of party
affiliations, will stand by him on the
18th Of June.

Work or Go to Jail

The Minnesota Public Safety com
mission on Tuesday issued an order
making it mandatory for every male
over 16 years Of age in the state to
either engage in some useful occupa-
ton or go to Jail. The exceptions to
the order, which goes into effect at
once, are for bona fde students in re-
'ligious institutions and those physi-
cally upfit. For failure to obey this
order a penalty Of three months i'm
prisonment is provided or fine of
500.
The order makes it the duty of the
sheriffs Of the respective counties and
of any other officers, state or munich
pal, charged with enforcing the law,
to seek and continue to seek identity,
names and places or residence of able
bodied persons within their respective
jurisdictions not regularly or continu-
ously employed, and report the same
to county attorneys.

Only Two Contests Locally.

At the primary election in Mile
Laos county there are contests for only
two local offices sheriff and county
commissioner in fourth district. There
are five candidates for sheriff-Al-
fonso Howard, Albert Kiel, Thomas
IS. Pearson, Melker AK and Harry
Shockley. Only the two highest will
go on the ballot at the November cleo
ton, the other three will be eliminated
at the primary.
There are three candidates for coun-
ty commissioner in the fourth district
F. w. Thomas, John E. Axell and
Robert Hanson. One will be eliminat-
ed at the primary, and it is altogether
probable that it will not be Mr.
Thomas.

A Letter From the Front.

A letter has been received from
Lee Whittemore, graduate of the
Princeton high school class of 1913,
who is now with the expeditionary
forces in France. He says that not
withstanding he has been attacked
with trench fever, gassed and received
an injury to his spinal column, he is
now all right and doing the best he
can to help vanquish the Hun. A
letter from home he says, is highly
priced 1t puts renewed energy into
the boys and impels them to greater
effort. Lee, who will shortly receive
his service chevrons (maybe by this
time he has) would be more than
pleased to receive letters from his old
schoolmates. His address is Lee Whit
temore, I G. M. R., B. E. F., France.
He sends; his regards to all his Mile
Laos county friends.

The Honor Appreciated.

Messrs. Mcmillan, Morton, Jack and
Avery were committee to secure, if
possible, the Zurah Temple Shriners'
band Of Minneapolis for Red Cross day
at Princeton. The committee went to
Minneapolis Monday and success
crowned their efforts they secured
the band for Red Cross day, Thursday,
June 13. The Shriner's band, the
crack musical organization of the
northwest, is composed largely of
business and professional men and
never plays for hire, hence it was no
small undertaking to get such body
of men to come to small town like
Princeton patriotism was the motive
that impelled them. Princeton people
ought to appreciate the high honor
that the Shriners' band has conferred
upon the town.

Red Cross Meeting at Big Lake.

There was another loyalty and Red
Cross meeting at Big Lake on Sunday
afternoon which was largely attended.
The exercises were interesting. Coun-
ty Attorney Tyler presided and made
a rafting good speech in which he
took occasion to say nice things Of
Governor Burnquist. Mr.. w. B. An
derson Of Minneapolis was the orator
for the occasion and delivered sensible
and highly patriotic address. Co. G
of the 18th Bat. MINI. Home Guards
gave an exhibition drill on the base
ball grounds and went through the
evolutions like regulars. A neat sum
was realized for the Red Cross. Far
mers in that vicinity are Of the opinion
that Governor Burnquist will poll SO
per cent Of the vote Of western Sher-
|burne.

Record Breaking Auction Sale
Ball in the Evening.

All committees are at work to make
the drive for the local Red Cross
organization next Thursday, June 10,
most successful one. The minimum
amount that must be realized is set
at $4,000 Ole Oleson, the Milaca
poet, says $1,000 If all do their duty
the objective will be easily reached.
The only drawback that cannot be
guarded against is unfavorable Wea-
ther.
Governor Burnquist will surely be
5 here and he will be accorded a cordial
, greeting by thousands. He has de-
veloped into an eloquent speaker, and
he will say something worth listening
to. He will not discuss politics. His
talk will be along patriotic lines, and
will commence promptly at 2 o'clock.
Another feature that should attract
thousands here next Thursday, es-
pecially all lovers Of good music, is
the Zurah Temple Shriners' band Of
Minneapolis. This famous band con-
sists of So pieces and is the finest ag-
gregation of musicians in the north
west. It is only on rare occasions that
the Shriners' band goes outside Of
Minneapolis. There is not paid
musician in the band, and they never
play for hire. Their coming to
Princeton and giving their services
gratuitously to help our local Red
Cross should be appreciated by our
s.people.
No doubt there will be an immense
quantity of useful and ornamental
articles and commodities offered at
auction, and it is hoped the bidding
will be spirited. The services of three
auctioneers have been secured.
The ladies will seen to it that some
thing good to eat will be provided, and
meals will be served for a reasonable
compensation. Every dollar derived
from privileges goes to the Red Cross.
Not dollar goes to any individual.
The ball at the arntory in the evening
promises to be grand affair and it
ought to be literally patronized-buy
ticket whether you attend or not.
Let each one contribute his or her
share toward making June IS, 1918, a
memorable day in the annals of Prince
ton.
Every business place in Princeton
will be closed tight all day next
Thursday, June IS. This includes
hotels, restaurants, ice cream parlOrs,
etc. Food and drink can be had in
abundance at the fair grounds.

Col. Cravens Objects to Governor

Governor Burnquist has turned
down scores of requests to speak
throughout the state, simply because
it is a physical impossibility for him
to honor more than small percentage
of the drafts that are made upon his
time. At great Inconvenience to
himself, and at the urgent solicitation
of personal friends, it has been ar
ranged that he is to give one day to
Mile Laos and Sherburne counties, to
the great disappointment of other
communities. Hence he is to speak at
a Red Cross affair at Santiago, Sher-
burne county, at II a. m. on Thursday,
June 13, at the Fair Grounds at Prince
ton on the same day at 2 p. M, and
at Milaca in the evening at 8 o'clock.
The governor will not talk politics at
any of these meetings-he has not
made a political speech anywhere in
/, the state this year-his discourses are
patriotic; he breaches the doctrine Of
n,1re and undefled Americanism, for
the governor is an American every
inch of him. From all we can learn
the people of Sherburne and Mile Laos
counties are pleased to be afforded an
opportunity Of seeing and hearing
Minnesota's great war governor, and
if the weather is propitious he will
have an immense audience in Prince
ton.
We did not suppose there was a
single person in Mile Laos county
who would not be pleased to have the
governor of our state visit our county,
especially as he does not come on
nolitical mission. But it appears there
il one such small souled, narrow mind

we presume Senator Cravens would OBJ
ject to the governor complying with
his constitutional duty, which requires
him to communicate by message to
each session of the legislature such in
formation touching the state and con-
dition of the country as he may deem
expedient?
Governor Burnquist is forcible and
eloquent speaker and no one should
neglect the opportunity of hearing
him. We feel and know that he will
be accorded a cordial greeting by the
good people of Milaca on the evening
of the 18th inst.

U-Boat Story Exaggerated.

While it is impossible to deny that
mammoth submarine has been op-
Grating off the Atlantic coast there is
no reason for alarm. Most Of the pas
sengers and crews of the vessels tor
pedoed or incapacitated by machine
gun fire have been rescued and the
number Of vessels sunk, according to
last nights papers, are comparatively
few. Some of the sensational dailies
attempt to magnify the peril and the
losses, but the situation is far from
serious. And, if that sea devil doesn't
look out, we'll get it before it has a
chance to return to it's base.

TIE DAY OF TRIBUTE.
Princeton Duly Observes Memorial
Day, Which Has Now Become
Of Double Significance.
Homage Paid to Soldiers Who Are
Still With Us and Also to
Those Gone Beyond.

Memorial day in Princeton was
3ushered in with a downpour of rain,
as If the very heavens were weeping
for the soldier dead. This rain con-
tinued throughout the morning, but at
midday, when the veterans were gath
ering at 7. H. Caley's residence, the
sun burst forth in all its glory to greet
them, and no more rain descended un-
til the ceremonies were over.
This year Memorial day had a
double significance the honoring of
the heroes, both living and dead, who
fought in the civil war, and those who
have died in France and are still fight
ing our battles over there.
In Princeton's observance of the day
reverent homage was paid to the civil
war veterans and prayers offered for
the boys in France. Over there the
graves Of the fallen heroes were dec
GRATED by American soldiers and the
women and children Of France, while
here the resting places Of the civil war
veterans received similar attention at
the hands Of the G. "A. R. warriors and
civilians.
The members of the local post of
the Grand Army Of the Republic wal
lace T. Rines) have dwindled, fgura-
lively speaking, to a mere handful
one by one they have been called to
bivouac on the other shore under the
command of the Generalissimo of all
nations. The old boys who are still
with us, with few exceptions, are en-.
feebled by age and the result OF
wounds, hardships and privations
while fighting for the country in '61-
'65. Hence, while they remain among
US which, in the course of natural
events, can scarcely be long-it is our
duty to treat them with the reverence
to which they are entitled and to make
life as pleasant for them as possible.
Memorial day observances were car
ried out in the following order:
Att o'clock the old soldiers gathered
at the TIL. Caleyresidence, where each
was presented with a boutonnaire, and
at 1870, headed by the jones' Bros.
drum corps, with w. R. Lowell of
Livonia, veteran of the civil war, as
fifer, they fell into line and, to the
strains of martial music, marched to
the armory. There were but II of the
old boys in line and two joined them
at the armory, one Of whom was Owen
Bracken of Greenbush, the oldest
soldier present.
Mr.. Bracken is a remarkable old
gentleman and a patriot to the core.
Ninety -nine years Of age on the second
of next February, his health is in a
good state of preservation with the ex-
ception Of being a trifle shaky,

boys at the front. In no uncertain

Burnquist Gains His Point.

Governor Burnquist, who went to-
Washington last week to protest to
Secretary Baker against splitting up
Minnesota's national guard and using
the men for replacement purposes
filling up gaps-in France, won his
point: He was promised by the war
secretary that under no condition
would more troops be withdrawn from
these regiments. So far 500 men have
been taken from each regiment, but
Baker says that, il possible, these will
be returned. 81

Information for Registrars.

Provost Marshal Crowder has issued

/ registrants from Minnesota during
the fve-day period beginning June "a
The men will go to Camp Grant, Ill.
It is specifically provided in the order
that men actively engaged in produc-
ton of farm crops shall not be called
unless it is absolutely necessary to fill
the quota.
The following information has been
issued by the provost marshal to eluci-
date registrants' status who are listed
in class and it's subdivisions:
"a number of inquiries have reached
this office which indicate that many
registrants still believe that class 1 A
must be exhausted before class 1 B
or any other subdivisions of class !
may be utilized. For the information
of registrants the subdivisions of class
in no wise affect the order Of their
liability, but such subdivisions are en-
ployed only as guide in the CLASH
fications of registrants, and the order
of military liability in class is de-
termined solely by the registrant's
order number"
