The Sugar Famine.

Up to this time the operations of
the sugar equalization board have re-
suited in establishing lower price
for sugar than has prevailed else
where in the world in the face of de-
creased sugar production. But it now
seems apparent that the American
public will have to foot the bill for
| -atable failure Of the price fixing
10y. The lower price in the United
states has caused the foreign produc-
ers to sell their new crops elsewhere
American sugar consumption was 600,-
900 tons greater during the first
nine months of this year than during
the similar period last year. This is
believed to be partly due to the in
creased consumption of sweets caused
by prohibition. But world production
of sugar is substantially below the
normal, and because of the lower
price here the world crop is being
sold in other countries. The Philip
pine crop long ago went to the orient
at,a higher price than the crop would
/ mmand in this country. Japen has
jnst bought the Hawaiian sugar crop
President Wilson was asked by the
sugar equalization board some time
30 to authorize the purchase Of the

A Successful Drive.

On Sunday morning the campaign
committee Of st. Edwards church
started drive for $1,000, the amount
allotted to the local parish for the
erection of a new diocesan Catholic
orphanage, and went over the top
before shutdown of the same
day. The returns consisted of
cash donations and subscriptions,
which are to be paid on or before
December /. This is splendid show
ing and speaks well for the generosi-
ty Of the parishioners and the excel
lent work Of the committee. It is ex-
.pected that st. Edwards will be
among the first parishes Of the do
rcese to raise its allotment.

EMERGENCY POLICE
n Plans Being Perfected for Formation
of Squad of Armed Men for
Protective Purposes.
In These Days of Murders, Bank Rob
berries and HOldups Precau-
tions Are Necessary.

Mayor Vandevanter called meet
ing of businessmen last Thursday
night to consider proposition Of the
village council to organize an emer-
gency police force consisting OF ~
volunteers. The plan suggested is to
arm these men with 32-caliber re-
,volvers, to be carried by them at all
times, so that they may be ready
whenever called to duty by their chief.
The idea is to have an organization
of men who can be quickly moblllzed
render assistance in case of bank
E-other attempted robberies and to
81. down bandits. Had an organiza-
,tion of this sort existed when Deputy
E. n. Foley was murdered and Elk
River called for help to run down the
perpetrators, Princeton could have
sent forth posse within a very short
time and perhaps headed off the ban
dts and captured them. There is
nothing like preparedness, especially
lat this time, when bandits, many of
whom travel in fast automobiles, infest
the country, committing burglaries
and highway robberies.
The 40 businessmen who attended
the meeting in Odd Fellows hall were
heartily in favor Of the proposed
emergency force, and also of another
scheme proposed by the village council
to maintain night marshal instead
oof having a man on duty in the day
time, when his services are seldom
needed.
Mayor Vandevanter will at once be-
TO select from among the volun-
A, - men for the emergency squad
"a permanent organization will
IN be perfected. 1t is proposed to
Jay the men when on duty the same
as the fire ladies are paid.
When it becomes noised abroad that
Princeton has organized an emergency
police force bandits will be apt to give
this place a wide berth. Every small
town in the country should have sim
liar organization, and the time has ar
rived when conditions make this
highly necessary. .

in bundle and with poles and hat
c1et was about to start home when
his eye caught sight of little cub
in the underbrush.
While Ralph was sizing up the lit
tie fellow and attempting to make
his acquaintance his attention was
attracted by a deep growl further
on in the woods and when he raised
his eyes he saw the large mother
bear standing on her hind legs with
her eyes straight on Ralph.

size up the situation and in less
time than it takes to tell 1t ne was
