$1,000 FOR LABOR
This is, the Amount Paid Out So Far
This Season by the Prince
ton Starch Factory.
Four Thousand Tons of Potatoes Were
Bought From Farmers and 400
Tons of Starch Made.

Princeton's starch factory is still in
operation and Manager E. E. Whitney
tells us that it will continue to run
until summer. It opened this season
on September 80, and, under Mr.. Whit
ney's experienced and able manage
ment, has made an excellent showing.
Hereunder we give few figures Zap
proximate) showing the business
which has been conducted at the plant
since it's wheels commenced to revolve
in September, 1918. 49,.
In the first place the sum of $1,000
has been paid out for labor, and this
sum was all paid to Princeton work.
men; 4, 1000 tons of potatoes were pur-
chased at good prices, including III
carloads shipped in from various
points, mostly Minnesota; while 400
tons of starch have been manufacture
ed. This starch is now being pulveriz-
ed-run through a cumberland will
be shipped. The product is used for
scores of different purposes and en-
tiers to large extent into foodstuffs,
but the government has issued orders
that it be known as "pulverized
starch" instead of "potato flour" as
heretofore.
The r. L. Pitcher company of Car
ibou, Maine, owner of the Princeton
starch factory, has now II plants in
operation and has large government
contracts on hand.
Much benefit has resulted to the
farmers of the surrounding country
from the Princeton starch factory
They have been afforded a market
for frosted, scabby and sunburned po-
tatoes which warehousemen would not
buy, and for screenings. Then, again
such good prices, were paid by the
factory that many farmers brought in
their field runs and were satisfied. In
addition many laboring man who
would otherwise have been compelled
to remain idle was given employment
at good wages.
So it will be readily seen that the
factory has proved a boon to this part
of the country, and Manager Whitney
will keep it in operation this season
so long as any pototoes are obtain.

Princeton Defeats Cambridge.

The Princeton high school boys trav-
eled to Cambridge on Friday afternoon
and defeated the Cambridge high
school basketball team to the tune of
II to 8. At the start of the game, be-
cause of the fact that the game was
played in an old garage where there
was cement floor and low ceiling,
the Cambridge boys made few points,
but after the first few minutes it was
all Princeton's, and the Cambridge
crowd did what Cambridge crowd has
seldom done before, it cheered the
Princeton boys time after time for
their fine playing.
The lineup was: Princeton-Herd-
liska |. f., Davis r. f., Busch l. g., Mel
son r. g., Briggs center; subs, Angst
man and Oelschager. Cambridge-Ol-
son |. f., Dalgren r. f., Rathgers, cen

cree, Lauden. =
Tomorrow at o'clock the Princeton
high school basketball team will meet
Mora in game which has an import
ant bearing on the district champion
ship. If Mora wins they will have
clear sailing as they have already beat
en- Milaca, but the Princeton boys are
practicing hard for this game and are
going to fight hard Come out and see
real game.

Soldiers and Sailors Insurance.

The war risk insurance bureau has
announced conditions under which SOL
diers and sailors. now holding govern
ment life insurance may convert their
policies within five years into other
forms which can be carried during
their lifetime
There will be six different kinds Of
insurance ordinary life, 20 payment
life, 80 payment life, 20 year endow-
ment, 80 year endowment and endow-
ment payable at the age of 62. All
policies will contain clauses providing
that, in case Of permanent total dis
ability Of the insured man, the govern
ment will make monthly payments to
him and premium payments will cease
This amounts virtually to old age pen
sioning and disability insurance and
insures that no man who has served in
the army or navy need ever be desti-
tute if he carries the government insur-
ance.
All policyholders will participate in
dividends, and earnings of over 81
per cent from the insurance fund will
go into dividends. Since the reserves
will be invested in government secur-
tiles, most of which will pay in the
neighborhood of 70 per cent, it is GER
tain there will be large dividends to be
returned periodically to policyholders.
Collections of premiums will be
made through postmasters. ..

SECOND TRIP OVER
Peace Conference Outlook May

Paris, Jan. 30.-Much as President
Wilson still hopes to avoid second
trip to Europe, it begins to look as
Il peace conference affairs would
cause him to recrosS the Atlantic iE
the early spring.
The president is said to have told
his contidants that, if events pointed
TO the need of his return. he felt that
his course would be found fully ilsti-
fed when he addressed congress, as
he plans to do almost Immediately on
his return. He has abandoned the

going direct to the United States.
The steamer probably will fake the
;oHthern route.
1t is realized here that President
Wilson's arrival home with plans for
departing for Europe again would
bring up the question Of an extra ses-
SION of the new congress with Repub-
lican majorities in both houses. If
IN extra session be thought inevitable
he president would call it before his
