ment club, Clair Galley has had the
grounds in front of the armory filled
in with good earth and seeded. The
club has put in the flower beds and is
to see to the upkeep of the grounds
during the summer.
Mr.. Galley has also planted vines
which in a few years will add greatly
to the beauty of the armory.
By the expenditure of a little effort
on the part Of everyone toward beau
t1fying the village it could easily be
one of the prettiest places on the
Scenic highway.
Look over your property and, if it
is not possible to beautify with plants,
at least see to it that all unsightly
material is removed and that every
thing is clean and tidy.
Take care of all waste paper. Do
not leave it to blow around the streets.

received from Norman and Pope coun-

The best way to fight the pests is
by use of a poison bran-mash spread
broadcast over the fields. This mash
is made Of rs pounds of bran and one
pound of Paris green thoroughly
mixed. To this is added mixture of
two quarts Of cheap molasses, six
oranges which have been put through
meat grinder, and two gallons of
water, the mixture being thoroughly
stirred. Fighting grasshoppers is not

Princeton's Opportunity.

The people Of Princeton and vicini-
ty are to be given the greatest treat
of their lives in the armory on Friday
night, June ID, at $3.50. The Apollo
club of Minneapolis, which is consid-
cred the best of it's kind in America,
is to be with us. These men are not
coming to make money, but simply
for friendships sake.
1t is seldom people outside of a
large city have an opportunity to hear
anything of so splendid a nature.
Don't miss it or you will always be
sorry. 1t only costs you the small
sum Of SO or rs cents. The proceeds
will go towards the maintenance of
the Princeton band.

Big Crops Predicted.

Washington, June 1O.-Bumper
crops are growing throughout the
country, but plant diseases have done
some damage and threaten to curtail
production. The largest wheat crop
ever grown, aggregating 1896, 200, 900
bushels of winter and spring wheat
combined, was forecast in the monthly
report Of the department. of agricul-
ture.
That represents virtually one-third
OF the worlds wheat crop this year.
In previous years the United States
has grown about one-fifth. Big crops
of oats, barley, rye, hay, apples and
peaches are also in prospect.

The Reason for the Call OFF.

Once more the weather man spilled
the beans of the local baseball man.
agement, only this time it was in a
different way. A coating of two or
three inches of clay had been hauled
and spread over the entire infield and,
owing to the continued rains of last
week, Saturday found the playing field
in worse condition than the Brest en-
barkation camp is reported to have
been in. One nice, sticky, slippery
mass of wet clay was what greeted the
managers viewpoint when he made an
inspection Of the grounds and, being
wise manager, he cancelled the game.
Sunday turned out to be an ideal ball
day, nice warm sun and very little
wind, but playing on the Princeton
grounds was impossible, and even if
the st. Cloud team would have been
able to get across the country through
the 35 miles of mud and muck, they
couldn't have given battle to the locals
anyhow unless they got out in a
plowed field and went to it like they
used to in the good old days when
gloves, masks, trimmed-up playing
fields and all other paraphernalia that
goes with the modern game was I'M
heard Of and uncalled for. >'5.-
No handbills for the game were got
ten out and the management used ev-
cry eleventh-hour method at it's COM
mand to notify the baseball public
that the game had been Cancelled. But
Notwithstanding all these precautions
"Pongo" Olsen came down with big
delegation from Milaca to witness the
game, "Sliver" Pratt was also on hand
with an enthusiastic Zimmerman dele
cation and even Ike Walker hitched
up his theodore" and brought the
folks in to see the Saints trim Cap-
tain Bob's bunch of bespavined ath-
letes. 1t was quite disappointment
to these fans, but there was nothing
to do but to go home empty-handed,
cussing the weather man, the clay and
the Princeton management in general.
Seriously though, it was no fault of
the management, as the work was
started in plenty of time to have had

shape for this Sunday game, but no.
body could then have foretold in adj
vance the continuous rainy spell that
we have had since the night of May
80. Those in charge were just as dis
appointed as those who drove a long
way to see the game.
Weather permitting, the game be-
tween Princeton and the fast Bloomer-
Guthman~ team of st. Cloud will be
pulled off at the Princeton fair grounds
on Sunday, June Is, at 8 o'clock sharp.

Congressional News Notes.

Congressional News Notes.
Republican house leaders have
started out to trim administration
appropriation bills wherever possible.
The first move will be an attempt by
the committee on military affairs to
cut 100000 or more from the military
appropriation bill.
Senator w. E. Borah's resolution
asking the American peace delegates
at Paris to obtain a hearing before
the peace conference for the Irish
delegates, headed by Edward DeVal-
era, provisional president of the Irish
republic, was adopted by the senate,
60 to l. Senator J. S. Williams (dem.)
Of Mississippi cast the negative vote.
The resolution of Senator johnson
(rep., Calif.) requesting the state de-
partment to furnish the senate with
copy of the German peace treaty
was adopted without a roll call.
Democrats joined the republicans in
the unanimous adoption by the house
of the resolution for the appointment
of special committee to investigate
war department expenditures.
The Susan B. Anthony amendment
to the federal constitution, granting
the right of suffrage to women, was
approved by the senate by a vote of
Sc to Is, receiving two votes more than
the requisite two-thirds of the sena-
tors voting. AS the amendment was
approved by the house on May 81,
it now goes at once 70 the state legis-
latures for ratification. There is no
limitation to the time of ratification.
and the eventual approval by the
necessary 36 legislatures of what will
become of the 10Th amendment to the
constitution is regarded as certain.
Unless extraordinary sessions of many
legislatures are called this year or
next, Susan B. Anthony's prediction
that American women would enjoy
universal suffrage by 1920 appears
unlikely of precise fulfllment. Only
six legislatures now are in session.
