THE PROFITEER

Let no one run off with the idea
that labor is entirely to blame for
the present condition of strikes and
unrest. 'Tain't so. 1t may be
more dangerous to American institu-
lions than the bolshevik, soap box or
ator as he urges radical action for
the workingmen. And why? Sim
ply because the profiteer has Great
ed an atmosphere in which the
germs of bolshevism may develop.
When in course of human events
the profiteer capitalist has raised the
price of his product more than 400
percent in the past four years and is
still engaged in marking it up be-
cause, forsooth he has advanced the
wages of his workmen 100 or even
$50 percent. there is a large sized
Senagama bian visible in the edge OF
the clearing. The government is
engaged in lowering the H. G.. l.. and
the price of certain farm products
are on the toboggan. Why under
the shining light of the sun should
not the price of manufactured pro-
duets take a drop instead of being
raised with regularity painful to the
ultimate consumer, as well?
The $4,000 brand new millionaire
profiteers and the hundreds of thou
sands of half or quarter millionaires
constitute the red rag in the face of
ultimate consumers, especially as
they consult their own bank ac-
counts and pocketbooks. They ask
themselves the question, on what
hath thousands of profiteer Caesars
fed that they have grown so wealthy?
The consumers are Missourians and
ask to be shown.--Oelwein Register.

CATHOLIC SCHOOL FOR BOYS

Announcement was made in the
three Catholic churches of the city
last Sunday and at the X. G. BAN
quet Sunday evening of the project
of establishing in Carroll a Catholic
school for boys who have finished the
usual eight grades of the parish
schools. The three Catholic parishes
of Carroll are united in the move,
which is not intended to be a purely
local project, but which would count
on the attendance of boys who have
finished the ordinary course in the
parish schools of the neighboring ter
ritory, especially those of Carroll
county. Providing a commercial
course as we'll as the usual high
school courses it would aim to do for
the Catholic boys of this and sur
rounding communities what st. An
gela's institute is doing for girls.
The question of site has been solv-
ed by securing the DR.. Wright old
hospital property, slightly and adj
vantageous location in a rapidly
growing part of the city, containing
five acres or about two blocks of
ground suitable for school purposes.
Those in charge of the project hope
to secure brothers in one of the
teaching orders of the Catholic
church to conduct the work of the
school, 1t is expected that this will
take considerable time, as teaching
brothers are difficult to secure, the
demand for their services being
greater than the orders can supply.
1t is proposed to call the new insti-
tuition "The Charles Carroll High
School of Carroll County" and to
have the membership of Charles Car
roll council of the knights of Column
bus stand sponsor for the success of
the enterprise. AS an addition to
the material interests of Carroll as
well as to the forces working for its
higher welfare. the project COM
mends itself to the encouragement
of all our citizens.-Carroll Herald.

Sherburne County Fair.

Sherburne county's annual fair be-
gins in Elk River next Wednesday,
and lasts four days. An exceptionally
attractive program has been arranged

There is every indication that the.
fair will eclipse every former effort.
Large displays of live stock, vege-
tables, grain and other products of
the farm are assured. In addition
there will be many free attractions.

A Good Proposition.

Considerable talk is being made rela-
tive to a proposed Sunday baseball
league for the 1920 season. The gen
eral idea is to incorporate Saltwater,
Hudson, White Bear, Anoka, South St..
Paul and Princeton into a baseball
league, play regular schedule under
proper rules, and put the game on
standardized basis. Princeton, while
a little out of the way geographically,
has the reputation Of being one of the
best baseball towns in the state, and
this reputation would be big asset
to her in any such proposed league.
This idea already has many local sup
porters and is strongly advocated by
many good fans at Anoka. It would
give Princeton and vicinity some very
good baseball on a regular schedule
and might develop some championship
contests for our county fair. The
proposition should be thoroughly in
vestigated and considered in proper
season.

Explanatory.

Evidently our linotype operator and
sporting editor allowed their halle
1ujah chorus enthusiasm to interfere
with their regular duties, for in last
weeks issue they got the names of the
directors of the Princeton baseball
team sadly awry. Director Don
Evans name was left out entirely and
Director Ed. Nelson was referred to
as "Anderson." While we appreciate
the religious fervor of our employees
we don't like to see it ball up their
regular work. However we take this
occasion to remark in open court that
all the compliments handed to the
directors in that item were also in
tended for directors Evans and Nell
son. Both men were large factors in
the success Of the team and made
many sacrifices in order to carry out
their duties as directors and are en-
titled to their full share of the honors
for the successful season. @

on October 6 to 10.
A school officers meeting will be
held on the closing day Of the insti-
tute, October 10. Several speakers
from the state department will be
present and, all in all, very inter
esting program, is promised.
Clerks should see that every teacher
has copy of the school census so that
she may check up her register. A
copy must also be sent to the county
superintendent office.

THE TABERNACLE CAMPAIGN.

All articles appearing under the
above caption are furnished by and
printed at the request of the publicity
committee of the campaign. Hereun-
der is this weeks installment:
The cooperating churches of this
evangelistic campaign are the Swedish
Baptist and Free Mission Of Wyanett;
the Swedish Lutheran Of Princeton,
Zimmerman and Greenbush; the Con-
gregational of Princeton; the Metho-
dist churches of Zimmerman, Blue
Hill, Santiago, Milaca, Greenbush,
Germany and Princeton. The pastors
of these churches expect the loyal and
enthusiastic corporation of all their
members in this united effort to win
the unsaved to Jesus Christ, our Lard
and Master. The Lord said, HE that
is not with me is against me and he
that gathereth not with me scattereth
abroad" We can't be neutral.
The attendance the first week was
most gratifying. On Sunday night
the tabernacle was so packed that over
100 men had to stand. The big chorus
is growing every night under Mr..
Moons leadership, and the special
numbers by the saxophone trio, NJ
Aldrith, Mr.. Moon and Mr.. Conrad
alone are grand. Miss Marie Acker-
lund of the Minnehaha academy, St.
Paul, delighted the audiences on Sat-
urday night and all day Sunday with
her violin numbers. ~.-a..
Evangelist Aldrich is so interesting
and eloquent and so true. to the ideals
of Jesus Christ that people are coming
to hear him from 20 miles around here
and from distant cities. Twenty came.
from the Swedish tabernacle, St. Paul,
to attend our meetings on Sunday.
Rev. Achterkirk Of Ogilvie and Rev.
A. w. Franklin were here Sunday. The
campaign program for this week fol-

NOTES..

If the Salvation army was conduct
ing this. evangelistic campaign it
would hold street meetings to reach
those who won't come to place of
worship because of prejudice or fear.
On Saturday night the tabernacle choir
will sing on the main street at 9 o'clock
and Rev. James A. Geer will preach
on the text, "He that is not with me
is against me-" When you hear the
music, come.
Cambridge, our neighboring town,
sent a delegation of over three hun
dred and fifty to the tabernacle meet
ing on Tuesday night for the express
purpose of endorsing and boosting our
campaign. Three of her representa-
tive business men, who served on the
executive committee came and ad-
dressed the vast audience, which was
so large that about 200 had to stand.
F. w. Nesbitt, Herman Torell and A.
G. Engberg are the three business men
who consider it a great privilege and
solemn duty to line up with the church
of Christ in a movement of this kind.
They said, "Stand by Brother Aldrich
| and his coworkers and you will get
the spiritual results you want. Money
is the easiest part of the campaign.
Money never came so easily. We are
trying to figure out how to spend the
balance. There is nothing to the
money end of it." They said many
other good things. Of course the
evangelical preachers of Cambridge
community stood by their campaign,
so Rev. A. Lingren, Rev. S. G. Carlson
. and Rev. F. L. Russell were all here
and urged Princeton to seize this grand
opportunity to seek and save the lost
all about us. Mr.. Aldrich was at his
best as he nailed the lies which were
lin circulation here against the Cam
bridge campaign. He preached with
great fervor and power on the text,

nounces the League. -:
Thousands of People Applaud Dis.

20 ~.
"a

Speaking before immense audiences
in St. Paul and Minneapolis on Friday
and Saturday in his assailment of the
league of nations covenant Senator
Hiram johnson of California declared
that he was fighting solely for Ameri-
ca. "America and not the British en-
pire shall determine when this great
republic is to act" he said. Hereun-
der a few extracts from his pointed
utterances, which he drove home in
forceful manner: -: ....
"The league of nations is not an
association to prevent war, but COM
bine of armed nations in a gigantic
war trust. It contains the garments
of many wars and rivets, as in the
Shantung division, the claims of
tyranny upon millions of people. It
fixes unjust and wicked annexations.
It means that American boys shall
police the world. But the people are
waking up. The time has passed
when any covenant may be fastened
on the people of this republic that will
permit eight foreign governments,
sitting in a council chamber in Gene
va, to send American soldiers to any
foreign country that suits their fancy.
"Public. sentiment against the league
is growing, every day and is fast as
Stunning the proportions of a revolution.
Its friends realize that if it is not
rushed through now before the people
have an opportunity to understand it
their cause is hopeless. That explains
the haste to have it ratified without
amendment. The statement that i'm
mediate action is necessary to stabil-
ize business is absurd.
"The pitiless logic Of events grad
ually is dispelling the halo with which
its advocates have enveloped the So
called league of nations. The diplo-
macy and intrigue, the war and coun-
ter wars of which we catch hasty
glimpse through a rigorous European
censorship, are slowly but surely
presenting it. in it's true aspect and
making plain its real design.
THE unbridled and irrational emo
tionalism which greeted the sugges-
ton of league to promote peace and
prevent war; and which was utilized
to the full with people sick of the
carnage Of the great conflict before
the terms of the league of nations
were known, and before it's provisions
were understood, is with the lapse of
time gradually passing.
"As our people become nearer nor
NAL and see again with clear. vision
they begin to understand the iniquity
Of the thing that is sought to be fas-
tened on America.

THE POTATO MARKET
Prices Remain Same as Last Week
With Exception of Advance
in Ohios and Cobblers.
Large Quantities Being Marketed and
the Quality of Late Spuds
Better Than Expected.

Large quantities Of potatoes have
been marketed during the week, prac-
tically all varieties being included.
Only a few Triumphs were, however,
brought in, as there is virtually no
market for them at the present time.
No change in the prices prevailing
last. week has taken place with the
exception of those paid for Ohios and
Cobblers, which have advanced sew
eral points. We gather from ware
housenen that no indications Of an adj
vance is in sight, although the local
potato market is just as susceptible
to fluctuations as the Wall street stock
exchange-you can never tell what
it will do as it is governed by the
great receiving centers In Chicago
and st. Louis, we are told, the indus
trial tracks are congested with cars
of potatoes and, until these are dis
posed of, there will probably be no
appreciable advance in prices here.
But then, again, the relief may come
in short period Of time.
Late potatoes are turning out much
better than expected in both yield and
quality. The general run is satisfac-
tory, but there are small sections, how
ever, where the crop is far from being
up to the average. Government re-
ports estimate much smaller crop
than that produced last year, and this
should consequently mean higher
prices in the near future. But you
cannot always place confidence in gov
eminent reports, nor can you so do in
the manipulation of the markets.
During the past seven days about
100 cars of potatoes have been shipped
from this point.
