THISISHEALTHW WEEK
In Other Words, Week Set Apart to
Interest People in a Fight
Against tuberculosis, Etc.
December 5 is Health Sunday and
Clergymen Are Asked to Call
Attention to Campaign.

This is Health Week-a week IN
tended to arouse in every community
the necessity of a more vigorous fight
against disease and to enlist gener-
Gus support of the 1920 Christmas seal
sale, which opened yesterday. De-
cember 5 is Health Sunday, and Cover
nor Burnquist, in a public statement,
asks clergymen Of all denominations
to emphasize the necessity for con-
tinuing undated the fight against
tuberculosis and other preventable
diseases, which is financed by the sale
Of Christmas seals and health bonds.
The governors appeal is as follows:
"After our annual Thanksgiving we
are accustomed to begin preparations
for the Yuletido season, when we
make efforts to bring good cheer into
every home, be it rich or poor, urban
or rural.
"There can be little happiness in a
home where death or serious illness is
taking it's toll One of the best ways
to spread Christmas cheer is through
work for the alienation Of suffering
and prevention Of disease.
II therefore urge that December s
be observed as Health Sunday in ev-
cry church in Minnesota, so that the
vital necessity for a continued and
more vigorous warfare on tuberculosis
and other preventable diseases be
brought home to the people.
Il also urge that all business, So
cial welfare, church and school organi-
cations cooperate in the observance OF
Health week, with programs empha-
sizing the need for more thorough
knowledge Of and necessity for the
practice of the rules Of health.
"Those who cannot aid in the public
health movement by personal work
can give effective support to our public
health organizations by purchasing
Christmas seals and health bonds"
The goal of the Minnesota Christ
mas seal sale is $3.50, 900 public
health fund, declared to be the least
amount which will permit the continu-
ance of a successful fight against dis
ease. County and local quotas are on
the basis Of 10 cents per capita.
Now every head Of family can af-
ford to expend 10 cents for each mem
Der of his home, which would bring the
amount up to the required figure
There are persons, however, who will
purchase seals in much larger guam.

The Potato Market.

The local potato market is weak,
and this applies to the markets at the
big shipping centers. Outside demand
is particularly light and consequently
shipments from Princeton arc away
below the average for this season of
the year. Not more than 80 cars left
this point during the week. Receipts
at the warehouses are not heavy when
you take into consideration the fact
that about half Of the buyers have
suspended operations and closed up
shop for the time being. Prices are
low with tendency toward further
decline. See market report in this
issue of the Union. ..5..

While Arthur Brodeson and brother
were scuffling with a 22-caliber rife
at their home in Princeton township
last Friday the weapon was dis
charged and the bullet, striking the
floor, rebounded and struck Arthur in
the upper lid Of the right eye, where
it became embedded beneath the skin
Arthur was conveyed to the North
western hospital, where, in the alb
sence of DR.. Cooney, nurse removed
the missile.
DR.. Cooncy says that the lens OF
the eye was injured by the impact and
that the sight will in all probability
remain permanently impaired.
The accident was one of that nu.
merous class where the gun was not
supposed to have been loaded.

The Congregational Church.

The Congregational church, with it's
liberty of thought, both as to the pas
tor and laymen, is appealing very
strongly to our community. There has
been no big excitement, no big emo
tlonal outburst, only the plain preach
ing OF the gospel of Christ, yet with
in the last few weeks IS have united
with her in fellowship, thereby saying
we not only want to live in accord
with the Masters teachings, but we
also wish to help others. w. B. Milne.

Seventeen Banks Close in N. d.

Seventeen Banks Close in N, d.
Since November Is seventeen banks
in North Dakota have temporarily
closed their doors. It is reported that
the sum involved is comparatively
small since the deposits in these banks
total only 1851 900. The general
consensus Of opinion seems to be that
the solution of the difficulty rests
with both the farmers and the bust
ness men. In Valley City the farmers
are being urged to sell a portion Of
their grain and thus liquidate part
Of their debts, and the business men
are asked to cooperate by accepting
a part payment at this time.

Opportunity Omen tn All

Call the roll of successful business
men, professional folks who have won
fame, the well-to-do, home owners and
men and women of comfortable indie
pendence, and you will find nine out
OF ten have won their own way,
fought their own battles, asked no
favors, and played mans and wo-
mans part, cheerfully and bravely.
In no other country in the world can
this general and widespread success
Of the people be matched.
The doors of opportunity stand
open to all. Only the other day we
elected by tremendous majority man
for president, who started out poor
boy, who gained modest competency
through years Of hard work as the
editor and owner of small city news
paper, who was recognized as reg.
ular fellow by his neighbors, and who
is typical American. For four years
ne will stand at the peak of the
world. the president of the United
States. When his time comes to step
down, he will be succeeded by another
who has proved his worth by his own
efforts.

they exert their power are supreme.

REST ROOM FOR LADIES.
Funds Promised and Plans Being Com.
pleted to Provide Rest Room

for Ladies.
Any village the size of Princeton
should be provided with clean, at
tractive rest room for the ladies. On
certain afternoons our streets are lined
with cars and teams which have come
in from the surrounding country. 1t
is shame that mothers who have
driven ten and twelve miles with small
children have absolutely no place to
which they can go for few minutes
rest and quiet.
The Civic Betterment club appoint
ed committee to consult with the
business men in town in regard to
the rest room project. This committee,
consisting of Mrs. H. C. Cooney, Mrs.
J. F. Peterson and Mrs. C. II. Nelson,
found that nearly every business man
strongly favored such project. In
two afternoons the committee obtained
pledges for over $500, so the rest room
will certainly be established. It is to
be under the Princeton State bank
the, room formerly occupied by the
library. No attendant will be con-
stantly present but provision will be
made for having the room cleaned
regularly. It is hoped the farmers
wives and children will always find
our rest room clean and comfortable
Both Mora and Elk River have a rest
room and Princeton should be as pro.
gressive as her ncighbors. .z=e-.

THE NORTHWESTERN HOSPITAL.
Development of the Northwestern Hos
pital and Training School
for Nurses.

The older residents IF Princeton
who have watched the development of
the Northwestern hospital, today GER
tainly view that institution with pride.
When it was first started the hospital
could accommodatesixorc ightpatients.
There are now IS beds and, on an aver
age rs of these are filled each day. A
few of the patients are in the hospital
for medical treatment but the ma
jority of them are obstetrical or sur
gical cases, about 18 operations being
performed each week. The superin-
tendent, Mrs. III. c. 7Gooney, deserves
much credit for the successful growth
of the institution.
Provision is made in the training
school, operated in connection with the
hospital, for Is student nurses. Since
there are no internes, the nurses assist
in all operations and consequently re-
ceive excellent surgical training.
Miss Frances Vertin is superintendent
of nurses and Miss Constance Olson
is the assistant superintendent. Miss
Vertin is graduate of st. Gabriers
hospital, Little Falls, Mimi, and she
also had post graduate course in the
Minneapolis General hospital. Miss
Olson is a graduate of the Mounds
Park sanitarioum, st. Paul. Miss Yer
tin or Miss Olson each day conducts
two classes for student nurses. DR..
Cooney lectures one hour day and
other physicians also occasionally give
lecture courses. DR.. F. F. Stocking
of Milaca is now giving most inter
esting series Of lectures on obstetrics
and the care of children. DR.. Stock
ing, who is graduate of Rush Medi-
cal, has been in Milaca about year.
This training school offers any
young woman in Princeton or the sur
rounding country splendid opportuni-
ty to fit herself for most useful ser
vice in one of the few professions
that unquestiopably belongs to the
women only. The Northwestern train
ing school affiliates with the schools
of the larger hospitals, such as the
Minneapolis General.
Visitors are always welcome at the
hospital because the hours in sick
bed are necessarily tedious, especial
" when the patient is among strang-
ers. However, everyone should re-
member the visiting hours: 2 to $3.50
in the afternoon and z to in the even
ing. People from the country are of
course not required to adhere strictly
to these hours, but can always see
their friends for at least q few min
utes.

Little Paul Ossell Dies.

There is an old saying that misfor-
tune seldom comes singly, and this
was forcibly manifested on Wednes-
day of last week when Paul, 7-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Ossell
succumbed to an attack of quinsy, fol
lowing smallpox. But very short
period of time had elapsed since their
son, Harold, aged 10 years, died from
the same disease. To be exact, he
passed away on November 10. They
were two bright, lovable little boys,
and their taking away is severe
blow to their parents. While the SYM
pathy of the whole community goes
forth to them in their hour of sor-
row, it cannot compensate them for
the beloved children they have lost.
There are the little vacant chairs they
occupied and their places in the hap
py household which cannot be filled.
Paul was laid to rest beside his
brother in Oak Knoll cemetery upon
the same day that he was called by
his Creator. Attorney Mcmillan read
the burial service at the grave. He
is survived by his parents, one brother
and one sister.

FREIGHT RATES SHOULD
 NOT INCREASE PRICES

Philadelphia, Aug. S.-George Dallas Dyon, vice president in charge of traffic ot the Pennsylvania railroad, in a for nal statement tonight regarding the ef- fleets of the freight rate increases re- gently granted by the Interstate Com merce Commission, warned the publi5 against profteers.
 The public" said the statement,
 should be forewarned and forearned against any attempts to take advantage Of the freight rate advance for the pur- pose of justifying profiteeriHg. While it IS true that in the case of some few ar tlcles and commodities. shall increase in price may be justified. Nevertheless. the amounts which in any instance could fairly be added to the present prices are very Arlall fraction of the whole and in the case of practically every article or commodity of daily consumption the increases in transportation charges are relatively so small as to be practically negligible"
 The increased freight charges on four from Minneapolis to Philadelphia in car load lots, MT. Dixon says. will amount to 55 meets barrel of 200 pounds: on dressed meats from Chicago 2.7 mills a pound; potatoes from southern New Jer- sey points 3.3 cents a bushel; canned trult and vegetables from Pittsburgh 2 mhls can Of two pounds; oranges from florlda, three cents a dozen mems shoes from Boston, 6 mills pair and mems clothing from Baltimore. 6 mills a suit Tn less than carload lots the increased charges amount to slightly more

Okla, a member of the Ameri- can typhus expedition, who was captur- ed three weeks ago by the Russian Bol- sheviki when they entered Minsl1, has ar rived here, having been released by Sov- jet authorities. Following his release he went to Wilma and thence to Riga where he joined a Red Cross courier coming to Warsaw.
 Soldiers in the Bolshevik army" he said today, "are all eager to reach War saw, as they believe the war will. end if the Polish capital is taken There is not much talk, however, abount enter ing Warsaw, and some of the Bolshevik apparently do not care whether the war ends. Many of them are young fellows who look upon war as a great lark.
 The Soviet army has plenty of soldiers rifles, machine guns and ammunition Cook says, but he did not see any artil- lery excepting six cannon captured from the Poles. The Bolsheviki, howevere had no shells for these guns.
