WH00P Err Up FANS
Every Baseball Enthusiast Should At
tend the Great Smoke Social
Event Tomorrow Night.
Great Luminaries Like Joe MOssman
'::Sliver" Pratt and Fred Manke
Will DO Side Stunts.


Friday evening, April IL, at 8 p. M,
at the arnrSry. We want you there
and you want ito be there, for it prom
Uses to be the biggest smoke social
'ever pulled off in Princeton. The ;ad-
vance sale of tickets indicates that
there will be lin the neighborhood of
ESQ fans in attendance that evening,
and If you are conspicuous by your
absence you will have lot of explain
ing to do afterwards and, incidentally,
miss right royal, good time.
In last weeks issue we slipped you
part of the dope but the censor has
frightened his surveillance vile, and we
tip you off to the following. inside stuff
at the risk Of having this whole issue
seized by the police:
We understand that several new top
liners have been added to the program,
among them the venerable j. W. Moss
man, our genial station agent. Joe
will entertain the crowd by explaining
to them how it happens that at these
annual events he is always ''too full
for utterance"- standard four-word
speech of Joe's that is almost as
famous as Pershing's Lafayette, we
are here" Fred Keith is going to
recite one of his latest poems, GLOW
the leans beat The fats, a'playing bas-
ket ball." Fred Manke is going to
render (asunder) vocal selection, a
pathetic little ditty, entitled, '"Mother
get the hammer, TIRES fly on Dads
bald head" He will be accompanied,
more or'less, in the commission of this
gross misdemeanor by his team mate,
Charles Weeks, who will preside at
the piano or any other instrument
that happens to be handy, as this
musical wonder plays anything from a
Jew'sharp to pipe organ.
Besides the wealth Of home talent
the committee has invited several out
of-town fans, including Tom Olsen,
julie Yngve and "Sliver" Pratt. Tom
is now running a large banking insti-
tuition in the central part of the coun-
ty, but has promised to lay aside his
weighty financial affairs long enough
to spend Che evening with his old
baseball cronies. julie Yngve, former
sporting" editor of the Union, who
now owns and edits the leading demo-
agreed to be with US that night if he
has to let the whole plant go to- the
devil during his absence Silver
Pratt, ex-mayor of Zimmerman, and
one Of our former townsmen, will be
here full of tribal regaiia and will
make a last desperate effort, rivaling
in action the famous ,"Custer's last
stand, to convince the crowd that Tim
town actually earned that famous
to 4 game pulled off on the mayors
back lot several seasons ago.
In fact this event bids fair to be
the @'big doings'' of the year, and any
fan who misses it must be prepared
to kick himself, as the rest of us will
be too busy congratulating each other
that we were there and had ringside
seat to pay any attention to any dis
gruntled suburbanite who forgot
either the time or place, or both. Now
don't forget, Friday evening, April IL,
at p. m.

Send in Your Contributions.

The Civic Bettermtnt club of Prince
ton is to undertake, for the fourth
season, the supervision of the upkeep
OF our cemetery. The following com
mittee has been appointed to have
charge of this work: Mrs. Joe Pay
cite, Mrs. Eva Keith, Mrs. Mary
Rines and Mrs. Ed. Evens.
In order that the work can he
planned for the season, the committee
would much appreciate it if those who
are intending to pay this year would
send in their contributions at once to
the club treasurer, Mrs. John F. Pet
terson. If every lot owner would paw
at least two dollars sufficient help
could be hired to keep the whole ceme-
terry in good shape for the entire sea-
son.
Many who live here in town wish
to give their personal attention to
their cemetery lots. This is natural
for those who take pleasure in show
ing respect for those who have gone.
but shortsighted indeed are those who
think that by caring for their own
lots they have fulfilled their whole
duty. The cemetery as whole must
be cared for in order that any lot
may look it's best. Noxious weeds
spread very quickly from lots uncared
for, and unkempt lots adjoining sure
ly detract from the appearance of any
lot.
It has been the general experience
of those who have had affairs in
charge the last few years, that those
who are the most faithful in personal

are most generous in paying for the

prevent approval by the committee.
After an amendment" which did not
amend was approved by the commit
tee, it recommended unanimously that
the bill be passed by the senate. The
bill had already passed the house.
Governor ]. A. A. Burnquist faced
motion picture camera when he signed
the p. H. McGarry bill for ''Lsnd
and Lakes Attraction board" giving
the Ten Thousand Lakes association
an official standing. Senator McGar-
ry and other prominent men in the
associations work were grouped be-
hind the governor. He signed % bills
at this time, including two labor
measures. One provides that en-
ployes shall receive pay for time spent
in waiting to collect wages due them.
If a constitutional amendment APP
proved by the senate and now up for
consideration by the house, gets by
the voters two years hence, salary
raises will receive a decided setback.
The amendment prohibits any raise OF
a state or county official during his
incumbency.
Governor Burnquist late on Monday
sent special message to the senate
urging an amendment to the Warner
Humpe primary election bill to have
party conventions before the primaries
instead of after. The governor urges
THAT the house bill, which is now be-
fore the senate, be amended SO that
the party conventions take place be-
fore the primaries to indorse candi-
dates for state offices. The Warner
Hompe bill, as it now stands, provides
for election of delegates at the pri-
maries to the state conventions, at
which the state candidates for state
offices would be nominated. Governor
Burnquist in his message points out
that under the :0ld convention system
it is impossible to get away from
minority nominations. He also urges
that provisions be made for the adop-
ton of a platform at the conventions
before the primaries. He declared in
his message that he has taken firm
stand against a return to the old con-
vention system.
A farmers measure favorably rec
commended was the concurrent resolu-
ton requiring the grain and warehouse
commission to investigate the dockage
of grain and report to the next 'legis-
lature with a view to the passage of a
law requiring the elevator companies
to pay the grain grower for whatever
is valuable in the dockage. The screen.
ings are sold for poultry and sheep
feed, but at present the grower re.
ceives nothing for them.

on April 8 at her home northeast of
Princeton and at the time of her death
was 86 years, z months and 10 days
of age. She was one of the pioneer
settlers of this part of the country

were a menace to the few settlers who
were here.
: !tsmeral services were conducted by
Rev. Geer on Tuesday morning at the
Methodist church in Princeton town.

and the floral tributes were numerous
and beautiful. Many people attended
the service and followed the remains
to their last resting place.

came to America with her father and
4 brothers in 1916, her mother having

GEORGIA READY TO
TAKE UP SUFFRAGE
LEGISLATURE PLANNING TO LINE
UP FOR THE SSUE.

Atlanta, June 17--Indications from
all over the state are that woman suf
frage will be one of the livest ques-
tons to come up when the Legislature
meets, and there are many who pre-
dict that Georgia will be one Of the
first states to fall in line.
Cine of the live members in the low
er house, John l. Smith of Fulton, was
the first to advocate in Atlanta that
the women be given the right to vote
on school matters in this city, and
from this start came the agitation
which finally gave them the privilege
of voting in the white primary, which,
of course. is more important here than
the right to vote in the general cleo
ton. Having won this right, the wo-
men OF Atlanta, through the leading
suffrage organizations, are planning
to move OH the Legislature in order
to get the suffrage amendment in or
der to get the suffrage amendment
through the Legislature.
