Tor their effect on the Peace Conference
IS. OF course, conjectural. but that some

taking place was regarded as probable.
Ihe latest crop Of reports from abroad
was confusing. Paris is understood to
believe that the movement in Hungary
Is IN no sense a popular manifestation.
There was a rumor that Count karolyi
the former President of the Hungarian
republic, had been ASA ssinated. From
the French capital there came hints of
an irrcconcilable disagreement between
President Wilson and Premier Clemen-
ceau.
Word came from the President that
more progress was being made in the
conference than appeared on the sur
face. Some adviCes had it that peace
would be concluded in a complete treaty
concerning all Of the enemy countries
which might defer the signing of the
peace treaty TO May. There was selling
of securities on the Paris bourse and q
consequent drop in rentes.

on Friday band was organized un-
der the name of the old organization,
known as the Princeton Band associa-,
ton, with Charles Umbehocker as
musical director. A board of directors
of five members was elected with W.
H. Smith chairman, Evan H. Peterson,
secretary, George p. Creglow, C. H.
Nelson and Henry Avery. Definite ac-
ton was taken for the procurement of
music, instruments and uniforms. It
is expected that rehearsals will begin
next week and public concerts are as
sured at very early date.

adding heavy burden to fee owners
OF mine property, already heavily
taxed.
Rushing through scores of bills
during the closing hours of the 1913
session, the state legislature yesterday
expected to take final action on all
important measures, including the 1919
20 state tax levy, with the possible ex-
ception of election reform. The tax
levy, it was estimated before final ap-
preparation measures were passed
will be mills for the first year and 8
mills for the second. Despite predic-
tons that because of appropriations
expected to reach $32,OOO,OOO, the tax
levy would be practically double what
it was for 1918, it will be only
8-1Oths of a mill greater in 1919 than
in 1917, and 1 mill greater in 1920
than in 1918.
The soldiers and sailors relief bill
providing $4,500,000 for bonuses of
$50 each at the rate of SIS month was
considered yesterday by the senate
finance committee and an effort will
be made to reach an agreement with
the house because of Senator J. D.
Sullivan's bill authorizing the raising
of $10O00,000 for loans to men re-
turned from military service which is
still pending in the senate. The money
under both bills would be raised by
certificates of Indebtedness.

Skunks Instead of Birds Attracted.

Skunks Instead of Birds Attracted.
They tell good one on Melker AK
Melker is a great lover of birds and
he protects them, too. When he pur-
chased his new phonograph he took
home several records of bird songs
thinking thereby to attract more Of
his feathered friends to his grove. So
he placed. his monograph upon the,
porch and switched on songs of robins,
wrens and other birds.
Now it is we'll known that skunks
have particular fondness for BIRDS
eggs and, hearing the warblings in
the distance, something like rs of
these perfume disseminators started
for the point from which the songs
emanated-they knew that where
there are birds there are eggs.
The mechanism of the machine hav-
ing run down Melker went upon the
porch to rewind it, when the Is furry
fellows, scared by his approach, scat
tered to, all points of the compass
There will be no more canned bird
concerts around here for WHILE" ex-
claimed Melker; "but, by go1ly, when,
the fur season arrives shall certainly
rake in some money. The bird songs,
will attract the skunks. and my shot
gun and traps will do the rest. This
is the most remarkable discovery I
ever made, and accidental at that,
b'gOsh." -a

The Best Ball Ever

An enjoyable affair indeed was the
Easter ball given by the fire laddies
at the armory on Monday night. The
crowd in attendance was the largest
that ever attended dance here. Hun
dreds of people participated in the
great terpsichorean event while scores
of others occupied the gallery as sight
seers, and the music was furnished
by one of the best metropoita1r
orchestras obtainable. A fine supper
was provided in the basement dining
room by the ladies Of the Congrega-
tional church for the benefit of the
proposed new edifce- "a supper fit to-
set before king.
The receipts from the dance aggre-
gated about 1920 and from the supper
approximately $3.50.
The fremen ask us to extend thanks
to all those who contributed to max
ing the ball success.

Sound Advice

Here's a little advice from Bess M
Wilson of the Redwood Gazette which
it would be well for mothers to read,
mark, learn and inwardly digest:
If small-town mothers would spend
less time tearing to shreds the reputa-
ton of some other mothers girl and
spend little more time in acuuaint-.
ing themselves with the nocturnal go
ings and comings of their own teen
age sons and daughters, this old world
would be heap sight better. Red.
wood Falls mothers are no better and
no worse in this respect than the other
mothers. But we all have sad habit
of expanding a lot of energy on other
peoples children that might well be
spent on our own, and there are FREE
quently rather gra ohic Illustrations Of
this.

Mrs. Elizabeth Rerrv.

Mrs. Elizabeth Berry, while sitting
in rocking chair, passed away at her
home in Princeton on Sunday. For
several months she had been in failing
health, and her daughter, Mrs. Isaiah
Mudgett, came from California some
time ago to care for her, and at the
time of her death she was apparently
improving.
Funeral services were conducted on
Tuesday afternoon at the Methodist
church by Rev. James A. Geer and
the remains were laid to rest in the
Berry cemetery. At the obsequies
hymnal selections were rendered by
members of the Methodist choir.
Mrs. Elizabeth Berry, whose maiden
name was Elizabeth Howard, was
born in Brownsville, Maine, on April
1T, 1889, and in 1859 was married to
Loumis Berry of the same place. To-
gether they came west and settled on
a homestead in Baldwin township.
Thirteen years ago Mrs. Berry came
to Princeton to reside. Here she lived
until called by death. She is survived
by four sons and two daughters
namely, Charles, David, Royal and
Adelbert Berry, Mrs. Isaiah Mudgett
and Mrs. Don Sausser. She also
leaves one brother, A. C. Howard, and
several grandchildren.
Mrs. Berry was true friend, kind
neighbor and devoted mother. She
was acquainted with hard work and
the privations incidental to pioneer
days, but she lived to enjoy the reward
of faithful toll. -.

I quote these figures not for the pur-
pose Of showing any extravaganza In

your public affairs, but for the purpose.
solely Of showing how increasingly m
portant it is that all Of the property.
of the county liable to taxation be-
assessed and that all assessments be-
correctly made SO that the increased.
burden of tax may be justly distribut-
ed. There is little, if any, more land
assessed in Mile Laos county now
than there was ten years ago. doubt
very much if your rural populations
is very much greater, but when yox
have multiplied the tax more THIN
three times as has been the case in this
county, conditions which prevailed IN
the assessment of and valuation Of
property for purposes Of taxation ten
years ago cannot now be tolerate1
It is not likely that any reductions IN
public expense will soon be made. Or
the other hand it is more likely to IN
crease. The assessor can do nothing
to reduce the public expense. What
he can do and what it is his. duty to-
do is to see that all Of the taxable
property in his district is put upon the
assessment rolls and correctly valued.

Bee Demons tration-Oueen Rees

The newly formed Mile Laos Coun.
ty Beekeeper:j' association will hold a
bee demonstr alton. in or near Milaca
some time in May. Mr.. McMurry. the
state bee expert, will have charge of
the work. The improvement Of the
present bee stock by introducing good
Italian queens will be especially en-
phasized.
Queen bees will be raised bv the
division of bee culture, university
farm, st. Paul, for the beekeepers of
the state Of Minnesota. The demand
for pure-br'd leather colored Italian
queen bees has been so great that the
queen raising apiary will be very much
enlarged next summer and equipped
with the lxtsst and best facilities ia
raise the best possible queens by the
most approve methods.
The queen raising station has been
moved to the fruit breeding farm at
Zumbra heights where all queen
breeding will be carried on in the fu-
ture. This location has been chosen
for the reason that the honey flow
from the fruit trees, clover, Eastwood
ana alfalfa is almost continuous
throughout the summer.
AS in the paHt the university divi-
sion Of bee culture will supply Mime
sofa beekeepers with INFESTED three
banded Italian queen bees at so cents
each and tested at 81. Not more than
four INFESTED and one tested queen
will be sent to any one beekeeper.
Cash with order must be sent to
cashier" University Farm, St. Paul,
Mimi. Orders will be filled in rota,
ton as received. In this climate queen
bees can be raised only in June. july
and August. Queens will be delivered
as soon as conditions are right for
raising good queens. Orders specify
ing that queens must be delivered on
a certain day cannot be accepted.
The university division of bee cul-
ture is not in the queen rearing bust
ness, but is attempting to raise the
standard of stock of bees in Minnesota
by supplying beekeepers with a few
pure-bred Italian queens at cost of
production for breeding purposes.
There is no foul brood anywhere
near the queen-bearfng apairy.

A Sarcastic Renlv

Some of the occupants of the op-
position benches in the new house of
commons may not yet be quite con-
versant with all the niceties of par
iamentary procedure, but they are
quite capable, apparently, of holding
their own all the same. Thus the
other day the honorable member for
Silvertown, warming to his argument,
had just begun, Il want you gentle
men," when loud cries of "Order'
served as a reminder that he was adj
dressing "the house." Mr.. Jack Jones'
apology was swift and to the point.
II am sorry" he said, II have made
a mistake in calling you gentlemen"
