BONUS LAW IS VALID.
State Supreme Court Files Opinion
Maintaining Act Creates a
Direct Obligation.
February First Stated to be Date Up
on Which Board Will Begin
Paying Service Men.

The state supreme court has filed its
opinion upholding the validity Of the
soldiers bonus act, maintaining that
the law created a debt which is a direct
obligation of the state and for public
purpose.
The decision specifies that only Min
nesotans who served in the United
States forces are entitled to bonuses,
!, and probably 1000 bonus applicants
--aaho served in associated forces, but
mot in those of the United States, will
! be barred from sharing in the bonus
fund.
Minnesotans who served with the
American forces organized during the
world war will begin receiving their
state bonus payments about February
1, according to W. Yale Smiley, secre-
tary of the state bonus board.
He said payments will be made as
soon as the $7,50O,O0O bonus ccrtifi-
Gates of Indebtedness, to be offered for

have sufficient intelligence to make
any distinction between things that so
materially differ? This places the
matter between the two horns of a
dilemma; if it is not due to their ig-
norance it must be all the more an at
tempt to mislead. So the Times will
please take it's choice.
AS to my remarks being a "bitter
attack on farmers cooperative enter
prises," it is too absurd for serious
consideration, so we will have to treat
it as an absurdity. Let me relate a
supposed conversation:
o. to A.-What have you been doing
lately?
A. to O. Ihave been helping c..
Q. to C. What is C doing?
A. to O. Oh, nothing.
A. and c. were cooperating in the
enterprise" of doing nothing. How
much enterprise docs it take to do
nothing when something ought to be
done? How much enterprise is there
involved in the neglect to insure for
workmen's compensation or otherwise
to comply with that law? And the
Times calls this enterprise" Of doing
nothing farmers cooperative en-
terprise!" Wonder where the Times
got such an idea, and how many of the
"organized farmers" share it.
But, seriously, who ever heard of the
term "enterprise" being used in such
sense before? What's the matter with
the Times intellect that it functions
in this manner? And is the condition
congenital or is it one. of intellectual
degeneracy" induced by mental strain,
business cares, financial embarrass-
ment, political disappointment, etc.?
We cannot ask for the space to con-
slider the whole 5 feet 5 inches of this
monstrous effort, but what we have
given may be taken as sample of the
whole, even the last paragraph. What
ever little CLEANS of intellectually
there are they reveal the fact that any
intelligent construction put upon it
must be by the application of the rule
of contraries or reversals. This will
be necessary not only in regard to
terms used, but to statements also, in
order to make them conform to actual
facts. Yours very truly,
Richard Hamer.

forum. Prof. Burt L. Newkirk will
lecture on the gyroscope and demon
strate with apparatus.
This lecture, while being scientific
ally accurate, will be couched in such
simple language that it will come
within the comprehension of all.
Prof. Newkirk, who is with the uni
versity of Minnesota, is not unknown
to US in Princeton as he delivered a
lecture here during the time his sis
ter, Miss Iris Newkirk, was teaching
in the high school. He was well re-
ceived at that time, and those who
have heard his lecture on the gyro-
scope assure US that he does not talk
s1'ssover the heads" of the unihitiatcd.
He makes his lecture instructive to
those who are interested in mechanics,
but at the same time it is entertain
ing to all. Young people, as we'll as
their elders, find this lecture most in
teresting.
The gyroscope, as almost everyone
knows, is one of the most wonderful
mechanical devices known to science.
Prof. Newkirk not only explains it's
system but demonstrates with special
models it's working. Gyroscopcs are
being installed in our latest airships
as compasses on our large battle
ships, and are used in our submarine
torpedocs. This will be your oppor-
tunity to learn just what gyroscope
is and just how it works.
This lecture is Of great value ia
students, and in order that the pupils
of our public schools may all take ad-
vantage of this opportunity the Civic
Bctterment club has made. a popular
admission price to them of Is cents
including the war tax. The usual
single admission price for adults re-
mains SO cents.

something worth while when that

something worth while when that
game is played.
II Our big center dribbled all around
the Mora men time after time but
seemed to be unable as rule to get
quite close enough to the basket to
make sure shot. Mora did not play
as clean game as some of our worthy
opponents and one Of the Princeton
men got punch over the eye to re-
member the game by. Our guards
held the Mora forwards down so we'll
that they had to bring up the center
and guards to do considerable of the
shooting for the baskets.
The final score was Mora % and
Princeton 8.
Next Friday the high school team
will play the fast Beutner team of Min
neapolis. They were the winners of
the 1919 championship in the city and
have already defeated some of the best
high schools in the twin cities. They
may be a little too fast for us, but as
the game does not count in the con-
ference title that does not matter, and
it will give the people here a chance
to see some high class basketball this
week. Fl,

The Mora-Princeton Game.

On Friday, January 9, the local high
school basketball team journeyed tc
Mora to scrimmage with the fast team
there. The Moraites have team that
has played together for two years
and they put up an exceedingly fast
game. Princeton was playing under
handicap in that one of her regular
team was .fot eligible and Nelson, our
big guard, was injured early in the
game. Besides this the fact that the
team was playing on a strange floor
that is considerably larger than our
own put the team under still greater
disadvantage.
In spite of these things, however,
the boys showed the best of team work
at times, and it was often difficult to
tell which team had the best of it
so far as passing and handling the
ball was concerned. The Mora team
seemed to be able to locate the basket
and made most of their shots from long
distances. Our team showed that they
are just beginning to get together.
Only two of them are old players while
Mora's center is the only new man on
the team this year, He is six feet
three inches tall and very fast man.
Our boys feel that they can beat the
Mora team on their own floor and, if
they show the Improvement in the
next few weeks that they have shown
lately, the Mora team will have to put
up some Of the finest grade Of basket
ball that has been seen in Princeton
for long time to win. In fact it
would seem that the winner of the
Moral Princeton game down here on
February 20 will stand good chance
Of winning the district championship.
So Princeton folks are sure to ace

Delegation Descends on Senate.


Washington, Jan. 14-Forty we'll
known men and women, speaking for
26 great organizations, comprising
100000 members, descended upon
the senate late yesterday and made
determined effort to break the dead
lock on the peace treaty. So far as
could be ascertained today, they did
not bulge bolt.
After drawing up resolutions calling
upon all parties to the treaty conflict
to make sacrifices in the interest Of i'm
mediate peace, the delegation appeared
at the capitol and presented their pleas
to Senator H. C. Lodge, the republi-
can leader, and Senator G. M. Hitch
cock, the democratic leader Two Of
their number went to the white house
to ask the president to abate his I'M
compromising stand, but got no farther
than a parley with Secretary Joseph
Tumulty.
Senator Lodge told the petitioners
that he and his republican associates
are ready to consider any compromise
proposals the democrats desire to sub
NIT and made clear his belief that an
understanding speedily could be
reached if the president would permit
the democrats to vote their convictions.
Senator Hitchcock informed the dele
cation he was doing the best he could
to reach compromise under the limi-
tation Of concessions laid down by the
president. =

The Cost of Stupidity.

The beets from which the present
beet sugar supply was made were
planted last spring when sugar re-
tailed at II cents. They were con
tracted by the factories before the
seed was sowed Does anyone doubt,
has anyone questioned that they were
contracted on the basis of 11-cent SUI
gar?
Sugar was still selling at II and IL
cents when the farmers delivered their
beet crop. The sugar made from these
beets contracted on that basis is the
sugar for which the consumer is now
paying 20 cents or more
A year ago the government could
have bought the present Cuban sugar
crop at from 511k to cents pound.
It would have retailed at 10 to IL
cents. President Wilson refused to
authorize this though no less an au-
thority than Herbert Hoover urged it.
He now refuses to exercise the au-
thority just given him by congress
and buy what remains of that crop.
More than this because Louisiana had
a short cane crop it's refiners are al
lowed wholesale price of II cents.
They are protected from loss; the
consumer can ego hang" In prewar
times there was seldom a year when
sugar did not sell at cents pound
or 20 pounds for 81. Now this is re-
versed, it sells at 20 cents pound and
five pounds for 81. Who makes the
difference? It is not the farmers who
raised the bcets, is it tho retailer. 4.
