Don't Forget the Old Boys.

Way back in the sixties the United
States was in trouble. Our fathers
were not afraid to save the old flag
that Martha Washington made. Then
the time came when the flag was dis
graced. In Princeton at that time we
had a camp Of the sons Of veterans,
and the sons Of veterans said we are
just as good as our fathers were, so
they went to work and raised COM
pany to save the old flag that their
Fforefathers had saved before and, if
ever there was a company marched
out Of town with glory, Company N
was one. It those days we had to get
up at four o'clock in the morning to
make the train, and there was hardly
a citizen in the town of Princeton but
what was at the depot to see the boys
go.
You can talk about your towns, but
there is no little town or village or
hamlet more patriotic than Princeton.
Now we will get back to the time
when we had sons of veterans in our
town, and if it had not been for the
old soldiers of the sixties there would
have been no sons of veterans. If it
had not been for the sons of veterans
there would have been no company M.
If it had not been for company M
there would have been no company G,
because company M started company
G right after they came back from
their duty to save the old flag.
Now we want to praise old company
M little bit for doing these things
for their country. They organized a
lodge directly after they came home,
and they hung together quite long
time. Finally the boys scattered all
over the country and the organization
disbanded.
The organization had a little money
in their treasury, and the treasurer
happened to be a German boy that was
willing to fight for his country and is
today. While he has had this money
in his hands all these years he was
so patriotic that he came around to a
few of the boys that were left in
Princeton to see if they were willing
to turn that money over to the Red
Cross, and there was not a boy in town
but what said, 'You couldn't do any,
thing better" And so he turned over
what little money there was to the
Red Cross.
We wanted to put this in the Union
because there are great many of the
boys that are living far away and take
the Union, and we know that they
will be we'll satisfied with what we
have done with the money. And as
we are speaking about patriotism all
Of our boys of company M know well
what sold Bob did for us. And he is
doing the same work today as he did
for us when we marched away. There
is no man that has ever done more for
Princeton and Mile Laos county than
Bob Dunn. Yours truly,
D. w. Spalding,
Quartermaster Sergeant.

Loyalty.
What is lovaltv2

What is loyalty?
In this war time, it lies in this
pledge, which every true American,
in full intent if not in words, has taken
and is keeping to the letter: .
That, in every word and thought and
deed, I shall support my country in
the holy cause to which it has dedicat-
ed its strength and consecrated its
heart;
That I shall put no interest-per
sonal, racial, sectarian, political or
otherwise above my country's inter
est;
That I shall spare no effort, no ser
vice, no sacrifice, that my country
needs from me;
That whether I fight or work OF
save or spend or lend or give for my
country, it shall be to the full limit OF
my capacity;
That shall tolerate, either in my
self or in others, no self Indulgence
no seditious thought or speech or act
no profteering, no tax-evasion, nc
Sinking Of any kind that weakens my
country or tends to diminish the
strength Of its blow for liberty and
self government and fairness and
honor and decency in this world.
All this, in spirit as we'll as in let
ter, I most solemnly promise and
swear to do, be it at whatever sacri-
flee of convenience, of comfort, of safe
ty or even Of life itself. So help me
God.-Duluth Herald.

AS to Rubber Restrictions.

J. c. Weston, vice president and
director of sales of the United States
Tire company, says in regard to the
government restrictions on the impor-
tation of rubber and the endeavor of
tire manufacturers to cooperate in re-
stricting the manufacture of unneces-
sary tire sizes:
"The intention of the government in
the control and restriction Of the i'm
portation Of rubber is to conserve ship
ping space, and the program that has
been laid before the manufacturers of
rubber goods has won their unanimous
support for the war trade board and
the shipping board.
"In addition, the manufacturers of
tires are heartily cooperating with
the government program for the even
tual elimination of unnecessary tire
sizes. This elimination will simplify
the problem for each user of the motor
car of reducing his cost and making it
possible for him to secure the tire size
he needs, in good tires, more readily
than the marketing and manufacturing
conditions now permit.
"Plans for the withdrawal of certain
tire sizes from use by manufacturers
Of motor cars will not in any way in
terfere with the manufacture and dis
tribution of the tires to users who
need those particular sizes at any
time"

IRA ANsPORT IS SUNK AT PIER.
Troop Ship was Formerly a German
transatlantic Liner.

Hoboken, N. j., Oct. 15.-Shortly
before the American troop trans
port America, (formerly the German
transatlantic passenger Amerika,)
was about to sail to-day for Europe
with soldiers and supplies, the vessel
sank at her pier here.
In the early morning darkness,
while the troops aboard were sleep
ing, the America settled with her
keel in the mud, leaving only three
Of her eight decks above water. So
far as known there was no loss of
life.
Earlier reports were that between
80 and 40 of the crew had perished
after being trapped in the boiler
room.
Troops were placed on guard out
side the pier, and details regarding
the sinking were denied to inquirers.
The cause of the accident remained
a mystery even to Navy Department
officials. A theory expressed in some
quarters was that water poured into
the hold as result Of uncompleted
repairs apparently did not conform
with the fact that the ship was ready
to weigh anchor to-day for foreign
port.
1t is learned, however, that a gang
OF machinists was at work at the
time the vessel settled, and it was
suggested that one of these men.
