Liberty Loan Interest Rate.

Liberty Loan Interest Rate.
Secretary McAdoo has definitely an
nounced that the Fourth Liberty Loan
bonds will bear Az per cent interest.
The secretary has been insistent that
the government interest rate should
be stabilized at Az per cent. He
points out that raise in the rate of
interest Of only one-fourth of per
cent on $4,000, 100000 of government
bonds would mean an annual increase
of $25, 000,0 in interest charges, and
that this money would have to be
raised by increased taxation and paid
by the people Of the country. It would
not be paid by one class only, because
there are consumption as well as other
kinds Of taxes, and the consumption
taxes reach every class Of people.

A Splendid Example.

Mrs. Ernest Byers, who lives two
miles east of town, besides knitting for
the Red Cross, walks in to work at the
Red Cross room one afternoon Of ev-
cry week. Mrs. Byers has a son Of
five to care for and everyone knows
that woman's chores on farm are
no light task. In this case they often
include the milking Of five cows after
she reaches home. And yet there are
women right here in town who say
they cannot spare the time to work
even one afternoon Of each month for
the Red Cross.

That Letter to Your Bow.

To deliver letter to a man in the
American expeditionary forces takes
on the average a little less than thirty
days from the time the letter is put in
the mail box in America until it is de-
livered to the mail orderly Of the
United States army at the rail head
in France. Some letters have made.
this trip in seventeen days; in other
cases it has taken forty-t two days, and
sixty per cent of this mail makes this
trip in from twenty to twenty-6ve
days. Between 100000 and 1850, 000,
letters are carried upon each vessel. J.

U-Boat Toll Cut in Two.

Allied and neutral shipping sunk by
enemy submarines during the month
of July amounted to 100000 tons,
compared with 534,839 tons in July,
1917. This radical decrease in losses
is doubly significant when the in
crease in merchant marine navigation
resulting from the American ship
building effort is considered. The en-
tente nations constructed during July
a tonnage in excess Of 28O, 900 to that
destroyed during the month by enemy
operations. The entente tonnage
sunk in 1913 was so per cent less than
that lost in 1917.

Pow Err Ian Il VOTE.
Out Of 176 Ballots Cast 157 Favor
Proposition Of the Elk River
Electric Company.
Work to Begin on REIMBURSEMENT Of
System Following Signing Of
Contracts by Parties.

Little or no enthusiasm was shown
in Tuesdays speciai election and a
particularly light vote was polled- 176
in all. A hundred and fifty-seven Of
these ballots were in favor Of the
proposition put up by the council to
sell the village power plant and 10
against.
The question Of selling the plant and
obtaining electric energy from some
outside point had been under consider
alton for nearly two years commit
tees were appointed by the council and
joint meeting held with representa-
tives of various power companies in
the state who were willing to purchase
the Princeton plant and furnish heat
and power upon certain conditions.
After visiting the power plants Of
Pine City, st. Cloud and Elk River, it
was finally decided to accept with
notifications agreed to between the
parties the proposition Of the Elk
River Light & Power company.
Village Attorney S. P. Skahen drew
up the ordinances, which embodied the
franchise, contract, ETC., and the same
were unanimously accepted by the
council.
The special election on Tuesday was
for the purpose Of placing before the
legal voters for approval these ordi-
nances, which have already been print
ed in the Union.
AS the voters ratified the action of
the council by a decisive vote, all that
now remains before the taking over
of the plant by the Elk River Light &
Power company is the signing Of the
instruments involved and the payment
by said Elk River company to the vii
lage of Princeton the sum Of $12,5 500.
The work Of bringing the current
from Elk River and the readjustment
of the electric system will commence
without delay.

Farewell Reception

Mr.. and Mrs. N. G. Orton were ten
dered a farewell reception in the Meth
odist church parlors on Monday even
ing by q large company Of their
friends. Mrs. o. Wasenius and Miss
Hazel Scalberg entertained the com
pany with music while Miss Margaret
Pitman gave a reading, after which
short addresses were given by the pas
tor, H. A. Humphrey and others. Mr..
Orion responded and gave as his only
reason for leaving his friends that he
and his wife might be nearer their
daughter, Mrs. Lamar, and their son,
Loren, who live in Minneapolis. Mr..
Orion came to this community with his
parents 81 years ago and settled on
the West Branch Of the Rum river,
where they engaged in the logging
business. Later the family settled on
the Greenbush homestead where Mr..
Orton was married and lived until five
years ago, when he came to live in
the village of Princeton. The day be-
fore Mr.. and Mrs. Orion left our town
they drove up and down the streets
marveling at the beauty Of this city
which has sprung into existence since
they came here over half a century
ago. They have four children in Mon

MARKET IS BOOMING
Farmers Rushing Early Potatoes t.
Warehouses to Take Advan-
tage of High Prices.
Over Forty Carloads Leave This Point
for Distant Markets in
Period of Seven Days.

From the Unions last publication
day to the present time potatoes have
continued to pour into Princeton ware
houses from all points of the compass
and buyers have been kept on the
jump. There. are about 20 men
engaged in buying at this time in
Princeton and more will be getting in
to the game daily from now on. The
rush Of growers to unload their early
stock is without precedent in this
great potato-growing belt.
Potatoes arriving from the farms
this week are ripper than those brought
in at the opening Of the season and
consequently can be shipped to more
distant points with greater safety
from deterioration.
From Princeton potatoes are being
shipped to Chicago and various other
distant points in large quantities and
there are plenty Of boxcars available
to transport them. Over 40 cars have
been transported from Thursday Of
last week to this date.
Ohios and Cobblers constitute. a
large percentage Of the potatoes com-
ing in and the range Of prices obtain
ing is $2.10 to $2.18 per cwt. Whether
these high prices will continue to pre-
vail is Of course problematic, but
present indications point to the prob
ability Of even a higher range.
Farmers who have acreages of late
potatoes planted tell us that unless
copious rains are forthcoming the
yield will be exceptionally light. For
a considerable depth the ground is
virtually devoid of moisture.

German Work on Wall Street.

German Work on Wall Street:
The enormous business done by the
New York Stock exchange toward the
end Of the second year Of the war and

REGISTER ON AUG. a
All Youths Reaching Age of 81 Since
June 5 Are Required to En-
roll on Above Date.
Fourteen Men Leave for Camp Grant
on August 26 and Three for
Camp Dodge Aug. 80.

An order has been issued by Provost
Marshal General Crowder calling for
the registration on Saturday, August
"A, 1918, of all men in the United
States who have reached the age of
Fl years since June 5, 1918, or shall
have reached that age on or before
August "a.
This registration should not be con-
fused with the larger registration
which must be undertaken after con-
gress has acted on the legislation now
pending increasing the age limits.
= The enrolment on August "a is
made necessary by the fact that men
are being sent to the training camps
SO rapidly that class is practically
exhausted and must be replenished to
meet the calls for September.
Residents of Mile Laos county re-
quired to register under this order
may do SO at any one of the following
places between the hours of a. m.
and p. M, on the date first above set
forth:
Office Of local board, court house,
Princeton.
Village hall, Milaca.
Enterprise office, Wahkon.
Those unable, in consequence of
sickness, to register in person may
deputize responsible persons to regis
ter for them and those who are abb
sent from home may register in any
other county or state.
& On the basis Of the registration on
June last of those who had become
Fl years of age since June 5, 1917, it
is estimated that in the United States
approximately 100000 will have
reached that age between June 5, 1918,
and August "a, 1918. Of this number,
judging by previous experience, some
thing over so per cent should be avail
able for class 1.

The Cemetery .Upkeep.

The women Of the Civic Betternent
club have found the care of the Gene
terry a very discouraging undertaking
Like most public work it is a. thank
less job and no one hesitates to criti-
else, and it is seldom that a word Of
commentator is heard. It is a notice.
able fact that the ones who do the most
Of the criticising are the ones who do
not pay cent toward the upkeep Of
the cemetery. 49,; $500
It is not to be denied that there is
cause for criticism-but the criticism
should be directed towards the ones
who do nothing to help, not against
those who are endeavoring to make
the cemetery a more slightly place.
IF people would be as generous with
their pocketbooks as they are with
their criticism our cemetery could be
made a place Of beauty.
But, strange as it may seem, the
ones who show the most respect for
their departed by personally attending
to the Improvement and care of their
lots are the very ones who are the
first to contribute each season to the
cemetery fund. They-from being
frequently on the grounds realize the
amount Of work necessary to keep the
cemetery in presentable condition
and therefore the need for funds,
Those who really take pride in the
appearance Of their lots know that adj
joining property, uncared for, is a
menance to theirs.
It is not likely there are many who
are small enough to willingly take adj
vantage Of the fact that the cemetery
as a whole has to be taken care Of to
protect the individual lots, and who
therefore do not pay knowing that
their lots will be included in the gem
eral care.
While there may be very few in
this class the great majority Of those
who do not pay are simply neglectful.
They fully intend to pay but the mat
ter slips their minds.
This year number Of public spirit
ed citizens turned out to help the
women get the cemetery ready for
Memorial day. This greatly Iessened
the expense, but unfortunately there
are many who, if their lots are pre-
sentable on Memorial day, do not care
about their appearance the rest Of the
season. IF their money is not paid in
before Memorial day their lack Of in
terest prevents them paying it in later,
Right here it seems pertinent to add
that some Of the women Of the club
who work the hardest raking and
cleaning up have no personal interest
in the cemetery have no one buried
there.
If each lot owner would see that his
lot was leveled and properly seeded
to begin with, and if everyone would
pay in, the sandburs and other noxious
weeds could be exterminated. Com
plants are often heard that the old,
or north part of the cemetery, re-
ceives the most care. This part re-
ceives no more care, in fact it does
not require as much care, as the other
