mission to the University of Mime

high school or other preparatory work,

less such course involves mathematics,

Students who have heretofore been
refused admission to the college Of
their choice because of technical de-
ficiencies, may now, if interested in
the war program courses mentioned,
renew their applications to the uni
versity and the Students Army Train
ing corps.

infantry, field artillery and heavy
coast artillery; B, air service; G, ord
nance corps and quartermaster corps;

The Sherburne County Fair.

In company with DR.. II. C. Cooney
the writer attended the Sherburne
County Fair at Elk River last Friday
afternoon. To say that we were
pleased and surprised is putting it
mildly. Firstly, we met a. number Of
old friends whom we had not seen
for years; secondly, the splendid ar-
ray Of grains, vegetables, fruits,
flowers and canned stuff in the spa
5cious horticultural hall was really a
surprise to US this year when farmers
are SO hard pressed for time and la
Dor is scarce; it was q display that
would be credit to any fair any

were well-filled with full bloods and

Captain Lester Mallette Dead.

The sad intelligence was received
on Tuesday morning by Mrs. M. NAL
lette that her son, Captain Lester B.
Mallette, died the previous evening
shortly after II o'clock at Camp Lee,
Petersburg, Va. His death was caused
by pneumonia following an attack of
influenza. His wife was at his bed
side when he passed away.
Lester B.. Mallette was born in
Princeton on February 9, 1892. He
received an academic education and in
1910 entered the Kansas City Veteri-
nary college, graduating from that in
stitution with honors in 1914. For
about two years thereafter he prac-
ticed his profession and then enlisted
in the army and was sent to Camp
Meade, Nd, for training with the
rank Of second lieutenant. From
there he was ordered to Fort Ogil-
thorpe, Ga, to complete his course of
instruction, was promoted to first
lieutenant and sent to Camp Lee,
Petersburg, Va. So well did he per-
form his work at this camp that he
was made an instructor and about a
month ago promoted to captain. He
was married on June>29, 1916, at Kan
sas City, Mo-, to Miss Amy Brad
shaw, daughter Of Railroad Commits
sioner Bradshaw. He, is survived by
his wife, daughter about one year
Of age, his mother, Mrs. M. Mallette,
and one brother, Lloyd.
The remains will arrive in Prince
ton at noon tomorrow and funeral
services will be held at the residence
of his mother at 2 p. m. on Saturday
and at the armory at 2:3O.
In the death Of Lester Mallette a
| splendid example Of young American
manhood is taken from the service Of
his country when most needed. In
his profession he had reached a high
degree Of efficiency and received the
Communications Of his superior Of
fcers. The men under his instruction
IN camp an loved and honored him
he was one OF the most highly re-
spected young officers at Camp Lee.
In Princeton Lester was always well
iked-we scarcely believe he had an
enemy-and throughout Mile Laos
county he could count his friends by
the score. His death is heavy blow
to his wife, child, mother, and brother,
and the heartfelt sympathy Of the en-
tire community goes out to them in
! this, the hour Of their great sorrow.

Service Flag Dedicated.

A beautiful service flag containing
16 stars was dedicated last Sunday
morning at the 1890 service in the
Greenbush Catholic church. The
church edifce and altar were very
'tastefully decorated by Mrs. A. E.

music was rendered by the st. Ed

Twin Monuments,

substantial food, as their health is es-
sential to recovery, if patients, and to
their reform, if delinquents and crimi-
mails.
Every one knows how food and
clothing has increased in cost since
1913. Yet without sacrificing the
physical well being Of their wards and,
so far as heard, without complaint
from them, the board has kept the
per capita increase Of their support
down to but Is per cent in that pc
Rod.
Another of the many good things
that should be said Of the board mem
bers is that they do not NEEDLE with
politics. They attend to their Of
fetal duties. They devote their en-
tire time to these and let neither per-
sonal affairs nor politics take their
time. No one has charged them with
political activity.
This is one result of wisely framed
law. In fact, the whole board Of con-
troll system has proved itself as near
a working model as is permitted to
public control by human nature. 1t
has been in operation now for nearly
IL years.
It was in 1899 that Robert C. Dunn
recommended this joint control Of all
state institutions. He had little to
guide him in other states. Minnesota
was, in fact, the pioneer. Two years
later Mr.. Dunn made a determined
fight for the bill which, with III. w.
Childs, the former state attorney, be
drew.
He is not only father of the law, but
it's uncles and aunts, for its passage
was almost wholly due to his efforts
and influence. He brought to this
work the same energy, the same init
mate knowledge of state affairs and
the same insistent energy that has
later made him the recognized clad"
of good roads in the state.
The board Of control system, which
no state has yet been able to better,
and good roads law, that for fairness
and results is not excelled in any other
state, stand to Mr.. Dunn's credit, and
the days Of his usefulness are not yet

AN IMMENSE SAVING
The Board Of Control Law Has Saved
the Taxpayers of Minnesota
Millions of Dollars.
Law Was Drafted and Pushed Through
Legislature by r. C.. Dunn
at the 1901 Session.

In his report to the legislature OF
1899, r. G. Dunn, who was then State
Auditor, earnestly Recommended the
adjustment of more than dozen
state boards that had the management
of state institutions and the establish
ment Of one nonpartisan State board
to manage all the correctional and
charitable institutions Of the State.
No action was taken by the legislature
at that session. In his report to the
1901 legislature Mr.. Dunn renewed his
recommendation, and, with the assis-
lance of ex-Attorney General Childs,
drafted bill to put the same into
effect.
It was a long and bitter fight. .Ev-
cry senator and representative from a
state institution town and every mem
Der of the dozen or more boards that
it was sought to abolish fought the
bill. Every institution town sent a
powerful lobby to influence the legis-
lators It was the hottest contest
waged in the legislature for many
years. Mr.. Dunn, single-handed and
alone, combatted the opposition and
presented facts and figures that con-
WINGED majority of the members Of
both branches of the legislature that
it was for the best interests Of the
State to abolish the local boards and
create one central board, and the biz
as drafted, slightly amended, became
a law
The first year the law was in opera
ton a net saving of almost 5000 eco
was effected, and the inmates of the
State institutions were better fed, and
the employees were better paid than
ever before in the history of the state.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
saving to the taxpayers Of The State
since the Board of. Control assumed
charge Of the state institutions Will
aggregate $2,000,000, and the good
work is still going on.
Here are two articles from two of
the leading newspapers Of the state
one from the Minneapolis Tribune of
September II, and one from the Du-
luth News-Tribune- relating to The
State Board of Control which are ex-
tremely gratifying to the author of
the law:
