The Daily Times was the first daily
paper ever issued in st. Cloud. He
continued the publication Of the two
editions until January, 1908, when he

war and rendered them all the service
possible. During his career he held

leader. His indomitable courage made
him power in his community. He
was a man of magnificent patriotism
and loyal to the party Of his faith
but his patriotism often lifted him out
of the path of partisanship, and his
love Of country was the grand keynote
of his character. His is memory tt

High Spots in Presidents Message.

High Spots in Presidents Message.
Hereunder are few of the high
spots touched by President Wilson in
his speech before congress last Fri
day:
Methods by which some of the pres
ent high prices are produced are Grim
inal.
Existing law is inadequate.
: There will be no real peace prices
until there is peace.
The world is on an operating table
without anesthetic.
All that can be done to restrain
profiteering until peace comes must
be Inakeshift.
Wheat shipments will be controlled
and limited so as to lower -four prices
in America.
Surplus stocks of food and clothing
in government hands will be sold with
out profit.
Surplus stock in private hands will
be put on the market.
Hoarding will be halted.
Food supplies are greater and prices
higher this year than last.
Profiteers will be prosecuted.
Retailers are partly responsible for
exorbitant prices.
Congress must appropriate funds to
fight profteering.
America must hold the world steady
by it's example.

I AIR AUGUST II TO 30
The Prospects Are Good for an Ex.
ceptionally Fine Display in
Every Department.
Amusement Features Will Include
Airplanes, Ball Games, Vau-
a.
deville and Races.

Mile Laos Agricultural society's an
nual fair will open in Princeton on
Wednesday, August q, and close on
Saturday evening, August 80. The
management decided on the change of
date for the reason that in previous
years much unfavorable weather had
greatly interfered with the exposition.
Present prospects indicate that this
years fair will mean the greatest dis
play Of livestock, grains, vegetables,
ETC., in the history of the society.
There are hundreds of fine cattle,
hogs and sheep in the surrounding
country especially dairy herds and
grain and vegetable yields were never
better. Potatoes are up to the stan
dard and there is some excellent fruit.
Every farmer should make an effort
to place on exhibition specimens of
his agricultural exhibits and display
as much livestock as possible. There
is ample room in~the capacious build
ings and pens at the fair grounds for
the housing of cattle, horses, hogs,
sheep, poultry, etc. Farmers should
take pride in their home fair, for it
is of vastly greater Importance to
them than the state fair. They should
do their utmost to show outsiders
that this part Of the country is capa-
BILE of growing the finest agricultural
products in Minnesota and producing
the best cattle and horses.
The fair management is placing the
grounds in shipshape for the great
event Of August q, %, 20 and 80.
Ample accommodations will be provid-
ed for all exhibits.
In the line of amusements army
bombing planes, ball games, horse
races, vaudeville acts, trained animal
shows, carnival and other attractions
will be provided.
The premium book, with its awards
aggregating $4,000, is now ready and
s444ay be obtained from Secretary Stan
ley. It speaks for itself. S.sss'
Get busy, everybody, and push the
fair proposition to successful issue.

NOTES.,

Beckett struck out his usual seven
teen, hit one man and walked two.
Foley is credited up with two scratch
hits on the big fellow and with get
ting one runner as far as third. Pref
ty good record for Bill.
Theis, the Minneapolis boy who
pitched such good ball against Prince
ton on the 4th of July, had hard going
in this game and retired in favor of
Murn in the eighth. The visitors took
kindly to his delivery and pelted his
hooks and fast ones to the far corners
Of the lot. Ten hits were gathered in
off Theis and one off Murn. Every
man on the Princeton team hit safely
one or more times except Doane and
Beckett. A. Anderson, Hoff's new
left fielder, carried off the batting
honors with three blows, one of them
good for homer.
Felix Nutshell did himself proud in
his old home town and showed the ma
tives how to play the national game.
He fielded in perfect style, participat-
ed in one fast infeld double play and
batted like fend.

All lnterned aliens who were arrest
ed in Minnesota, with the one excep-
ton of the notorious Paul F. Dehnel.

parole, according to T. E. Campbell,
special agent Of the department Of
justice in St. Paul. The case Of Dehnel
is being held in allegiance for the
present because he is the publisher Of

OF which is still under scrutiny. Deb

deported long ere this.

FLAG AT HALF MAST
Foley Ball Team in Mourning Over
Shutout by Princeton Aggre-
CATION on Sunday.
Minneapolis Crowns, Who Defeated
Princeton Early in Season,
Will Be Here Sunday.

Poor old Foley. Assaulted and
beaten on her home grounds, trampled
on and kicked after she was down,
and then a big round goose egg left
her as a remembrance of the ARRAY.
This, in rough way, tells of the dia-
mond battle at the Foley grounds last
Sunday between the Princeton and
Foley teams. Eleven to nothing was
the final count and this gives fair
estimate of the relative playing
strength of the two teams as they
lined up for this particular contest.
In other words there was nothing to
it. Princeton took the lead right in
the first round and held it throughout,
added to it as they saw fit, and played
such close defensive game that only
one of the Foley aggregation ever got
to third base, and he got there on
very close decision. Foley had bols-
tered up their lineup with several
hired hands from surrounding towns
and had imported a twirler from Min
neapolis who had guaranteed to put
the kibosh on the Princetonian outfit,
but it was all of no avail and the hired
help blew up just as bad as some Of the
local players and, in some instances,
even worse. Verify it was an evil day
for the county seat of Benton county
and the flag on the court house
grounds will be at half mast for many
day in memory of the Foley ball
team that once was and is no longer.
Princeton won the game in the first
inning when, with one man down, A.
Anderson, Hoff's new find and broth
er of the more or less famous Andy
who does the Princeton backstop work,
drove out a clean single. Galley
dumped a ground ball into the Foley
in6eld and the play got so badly
bungled up that both runners were
safe. Big Andy refused to have his
kid brother show him up in this fash
ion, SO he drove out a singing single
that scored the younger Anderson
from second. Nutshell helped the good
work along by driving out a corking
two Dagger that scored Galley and
Andy. Three runs for this inning. In
the next round Princeton piled up
three more runs, Beckett, A. Anderson
and Galley making the complete circuit
of the bases, due mostly to Foley err
rors, both infeld and out. Nutshell
scored for Princeton in the third,
bringing the total up to seven. The
visitors broke out again in the sixth,
punched hits on Theis, pitching for
Foley, and, aided by several errors,
scored three more runs. A. Anderson
lead the assault with a clean run
smash over the fence in left field and
Berg helped the good work along with
a three Dagger in almost the same
place. Berg and Andy eventually
worked around in this frame and
brought in the other two scores. In
the ninth Captain Bob cracked out his
second hit of the game and, before the
side could be retired, brought in an
other run. Final score-Princeton II,
Foley O.
