BOYS COMING HOME.
Being Mustered Out at Camp Dodge
and Some Of Them May Ar
rive Here Tonight.
Arrangements Have Been Made for q
Grand Banquet and Dance at
Armory, February.

The Princeton chapter of the Red
Cross has made arrangements for a
homecoming reception for all the
boys of Mile Laos county and those
boys of Sherburne, Isanti and Benton
counties who live in the vicinity of
Princeton and who have been in the
service of the United States either
on land or at sea, and the date has
been set for Friday, February z.
A committee has been appointed
who has arranged banquet and en-
tertainment for the evening and a
grand ball as a finale. The banquet,
as planned, will be held at the armory
at the hour of $3.50 p. m. The officers
of the old Co. G, now the 125th field
artillery, and all the officers from
Mile Laos county will be present in
the officers room at the armory from
$3.50 to $3.50 of said~day to receive
their friends.
The banquet proper will be for SOL
'diers, sailors, officers and enlisted
men only, and will not be open to the
general public, but arrangements have
been made whereby the relati rs of
the boys present will be allowed on
the floor of the ar1nory, where seats
will be provided. The gallery of the
armory will be open to the general
public.
An effort is bling made by the COM
mittee to have the governor of the
state present to address the assem-
blage, but in case that is impossible
another suitable public man will be
secured. The committee will endeavor
to provide very good entertainment
and will see that the best music OBJ
tainable will be had for the dance. The
expenses will be betrayed by the Red
Cross, and it is a foregone conclusion
that everything will be proper and
fitting for the occasion when under
taken by this great organization.
On this evening everything will be
free. No charge will be made for
anything. 1t is a welcoming for the
boys who have offered the supreme
sacrifice that right should prevail
and that the world should not be run
by might, and everyone is expected to
be present and show their apprecia-
ton of what the boys have done and
make it a rousing success.
Residents of the village and sur
rounding country who have flags or
bunting are asked to write their name
thereon and leave the same with
either H. Plaas, at Jacks drug store,
or R. P. Morton, as many flags and
much bunting will be necessary to
decorate the hall. S. p. Skahen,
Chairman Red Cross Reception Com.

Farm Bureau Plans.

The farm bureau has planned sew
eral projects for, the year, three Of
which will affect every township and
community in the county.
The corn project is to establish seed
corn testing stations at Milaca and
Princeton. The aim is to provide ev-
cry farmer in Mile Laos county who
desires with home grown guaranteed
seed corn. The testing will be done
at cost, the fee being only sufficient
to cover any special help engaged in
the work. If you have seed to test,
seed for sale or desire seed corn, send
a statement of your wants to the
county agent at Milaca before Feb
ruary l.
In the potato project it is proposed
to have the farmers of each township
agree on as few varieties for that
township as possible and to select
from among themselves growers for
those varieties, for seed fields. The
seed will be treated for disease car
ried over on the skin. Hills attacked
by blackleg or fusarian wilt will be
sprayed with bordeaux mixture to
stop blight and to some extent leaf
injury by weather conditions, In the
fall the stock from these fields will be
distributed in the township as being
variety pure and disease free.
The first issue of the farm bureau
for sale, want and exchange sheet will
be gotten out at once. All members
will have the privilege Of advertising
pure-bred live stock and poultry, high
grade females, high-grade seed grains
and potatoes free Of charge. Mem
ibers may also advertise their wants.

Send in the Names Now.

Last week the Union, in behalf of
the Red Cross, asked the relatives of
Mile Laos county soldier boys to send
in the names and home addresses of
those who were killed in action, died
from disease, were wounded or are
missing, together with those who en-
listed without registering for the se--
lective draft. There has not been a.
very ready response to this request
and, as the Red Cross needs the i1r4-
formation for the purpose of compaaeee
ing the county service flag, we AGAIN.
ask that the matter be given imme~
date attention. It is Of great. imr
portance.

A Good Suggestion.

Some years ago, in order to induce
the farmers in q prairie section to
plant and raise trees, a tree bounty
was paid by the state to those who
planted and raised trees in compliance
with certain requirements. In this
timber country, why would it not be a
good plan to reverse the proposition
j. e., pay a bounty to the settler for
for each acre or fiYe-acre TRACT that he
clears and puts under cultivation =?

Motor Tax and Road Fund

One of the major items in the legis-
lative program is the state highway
system with a constitutional amend
ment permitting bond issue to build!
it; and a system of taxation for it's,
maintenance. Such measure offered
by the state highway commissioner
recommends an increased license tax;
on motor vehicles in lieu of present
personal property and license taxes.
Precedents of this method of devoting
the tax revenue from automobiles en-
tirely to road purposes are found in
recent legislation in New York and
Pennsylvania, the only large states
that have adopted this PLAN +,
The distribution of the tax revenue
from motor vehicles is matter of
policy; there will be objection to this
plan on the part of cities wher$ the
property tax on automobiles is euHs-.
siderable item in the local treasury.
In Minneapolis, for example, IL is ap-- :.
proximately hundred and thirty-five
thousand dollars annually.
The fortune of the state good roads
system, however, should not be i'm
periled by any difference of opinion as
to whether the one-tax or the twoteasx.:
plan is preferable. The vital matter
is system Of good roads, and to the
maintenance of the system the owners
of automobiles are generally agreed
that the motor driven vehicle is due to
pay something directly in the form OK
wheel tax. The license tax in Sfliss
state is notably low as compared with2
that of most other states, where the,
annual license ranges from five to-
forty dollars, to which is added ins
most cases personal property tax
The betterment of roads is so directly
related to economy in the upkeep of
motor-driven vehicles that almost any
system of distribution of the taxes
should be agreeable to owners.
Good roads bring blessings to every,
class Of people almost as impartial1y
as do good weather and good crops.
The man whose land fronts on the
road and the man whose machine runs
continually over the road are special
beneficiaries of road betterment, and
these perhaps should contribute In
larger measure. But every producer,
and every consumer is blessed in pock-
ct and store by the better roadway,
while pleasure riding is made more at
tainable for the man Of little means.
Good roads, like good health, are Ike
" to be worth abundantly more thar
we ever feel able to pay to get them

On the Right Track.

: -
We have not seen the bill. We do
not know if it is practical. We do not
know if it is all that is needed. But
Representative Erickson Of this city is
on the right track with his measure to
extend and protect the markets for
farm products.
En- AS the News Tribune has said at
other times, farmers are not, in the
first instance, business men. They are
producers. They are not trained in
business ways and methods. Their
first interest is in making their land
produce.
After that, comes the problem of
getting the full value for their labor
and Of the lands fertility. Even when
they raised only grain, whose market
ing is the simplest Of all, it was found
that they had to be protected. They
had to sell, but no one had to buy from
any individual farmer.
When it came to cattle, hogs and
poultry there was a like situation and
further complications. With the in
crease Of milk and butter production
the state found it must again inter-
vene.
Now we have reached the state. Of
real diversified farm products which
includes everything the land will pros
duce in vegetables and fruits, in the
class that is known as perishables.
The farmer can hold his grain and his
cattle; he cannot hold his potatoes,
cabbage and green stuff.
81 No one who has lived neighbor to
the farmer can pretend that he has
had square deal. He has not had the
full value, his full share Of the price
paid by the consumer. Part Of this,
in these days Of more intensive far
ming, is because the farmer does not
know how to handle his own products,
to select, grade and prepare them for
market. But that is not all.
Representative Erickson is on the
right track. He should keep going
and cover the whole situation while he
is at it. Duluth News Tribune.

BEAUTIFUL PLAY IS
OFFERED THIS WEEK
bYEMPRESS PLAYERS
Belle of Richmond" Has Ten
der Sentiments and Charac-
ters That Charm the Heart
Here for Weekend.
..The Belle Of richmond. > > nean,,

'The Belle of Richmond" a beauti-
ful southern romance teemlng with
tender sentiment and tempcramental
men and women OF the southland, was
given an excellent presentation Thurs
day evening, at the Empress theatre by
the Empress Stock company, who will
continue the production for the week
end, with Saturday matinee.
The love theme of the story is so
delicately written into the action that
its intensity is heightened From the
shadowy background of the heart story
arises sharp cut plot of villiany, in
volving the past life of a man who al
most succeeded in getting the hand of
THE Belle of Richmond" This man
and his accomplish are caught and
in the catching the play achieves one
of it's cleverest ramifications.
Deserving of special mention are
the stage settings. The opening scene,
party in front of a southern home, is
Very realistic with its bright lights, its
lanterns and even huge tree.
Caroline Edwards, the Empress
pretty brunette, gave her admirers a
start when she came out a blonde in
"The Belle of Richmond" AS Nelly
Mason" the belle, Miss Edwards Gre
ates an impression entirely different
from any she has ever given in other
roles which is quite an achievement
for one appearing week after week be-
fore the same critical audiences.
And whether he especially likes to
make love or not, Raymond Whitta-
lSer must have got some new enthu-
sias.n cut of the present play. AS
Jerry" the leading man, Whitaker
makes a success as complete as any in
the cast.
,nIx ss,,,t 1v TOW, &c
the little love scene between Duke
Wescott as .Silas Smart. New York
err" and Rae Ewing as "Winifred Ma
son, of Boston," who wears wigs. Their
bit was a scream.
To Fred Tracy goes the job Of being
the only negro in the play-and this
a southern play! AS "Mose" he mixes
the bouquets of Jerry" and BILL
O'red SULLIVAN, and this causes the
trouble.
Sullivan, assisted by c. w. Lewis,
carries the heavy part of the play
3 The forgiveness scene between him
self and Jerry is made a touching
thing as result OF the acting of him
self and Whitaker.
The parts of the older persons In
the play are taken by John Brandon
as Judge Mason" Ed Clisbee as Col
onel Lee and Lula Hogan Wesley as
Aunt Betty, Judge Mason's sister.
All three of these parts are handled in
q manner TO contribute to the general
success of the production.
"Billy" Malon and Airline Melon
augh are teamed in The Belle of
Richmond" Maylon takes the part of
the young fellow unjustly accused of
robbing the bank. When his father
Colonel Lee" and Roseline Mason's
(Arline McDonaugh's) father become
estranged over the trouble, he wins
admiration by aiding plot to recon-
Gle the two old fellows.
1t works and everybody lives happily
ever after.
