gineer, assisted in the building of the
Scenic highway in this county. The

It is therefore absolutely refreshing
to note such a frank expression of ap-
probation as appeared in the last issue
Of the Little Falls Transcript:
Little Falls people will be grieved
to learn that DR.. E. B. Service has
rendered his resignation. He has been
here for the past four years as pastor
of the Methodist church, during which
time he has given freely of his talent,
energy and enthusiasm. His loss will
be keenly felt in the community. DR..
Service is leaving Little Falls to take
an appointment in the California con-
ference, September 49, Mr.. and Mrs.
Service just returned from Pasadena,
Cal, where they attended the funeral
of his mother. In speaking of his de-
parture Dr. Service said: we deeply
regret leaving the kind and loving peo-
pie of Little Falls The four years
spent on this charge has been a period
of harmony and pleasant memory
CDR. Service is closing up the finances
of the church so as to send his report
to the conference to be held at ST.
Cloud, October 6. He wishes to thank
the church and Ladies' Aid society as
well as all the friends who have so
generously helped. They leave Little
Falls next week so as to attend the
conference at Long Beach. DR.. Ser
vice will preach here Sunday morn
ing and evening"
A large reception was rendered DR..
and Mrs. Service by the citizens Of
Little Falls. Some fine tributes were
paid these good people by Mayor
Bergheim and Rev. Philip E. Gregory,
pastor of the Congregational church.
Mr.. Gregory remarked that Little
Falls might possibly be able to secure
as good minister but he was sure it
would never find as efficient minis
ter's wife"
The people of Princeton can unite
with the friends in Little Falls in their
commentator of Dr. and Mrs. Ser
vice. They have many warm friends
in Princeton who wish them peace and
prosperity in their new charge at AL

The Party to Tie To.

We want to engage the attention of
the. women voters for just minute.
We want to call their attention to the
history of the republican party
real American party of progress, pros
perity and achievement. We want
them to study that record closely, and
then we, know they will affiliate with
the republican party. That is the par
ty that has always been to the front
in legislation desired by the women Of
this fair land and that is the party to
which the women should logically be-

DR.. Cooney Attends Medical Meeting

Dr. H. c. Cooney went to st. Paul
Wednesday morning to attend the an
nual meeting of the Minnesota State
Medical association. DR. Cooney is
third vice-president of the association.
The convention will be in session
three days. An interesting program
has been arranged and it is estimated
about 500 physicians will be in atten-
dance. DR.. Cooney was last year
delegate to the American Medical AS
ISOLATION convention which met in
New York.
Princeton is exceedingly fortunate
in having thoroughly modern hos

honor conferred on any one of them
touches the pride of the whole com

Taft interviewed.

Ex-President VIM. H. Taft, who was
on his way to western Canada with
the Grand Trunk appraisal commits
sion, spent Monday in Minneapolis,
where he was interviewed by newspa-
permen. He feels jubilant over the
Of electing republican presi-
dent and thus bringing the United
States into an agreement for maintain
ing international peace. He said:
"The estimates of republican victory
in November coming from party head
quarters are overwhelming in their
magnitude, but the same sort of re-
ports come from other sources. Chas.
D. Hilles tells me that New York will
go for Harding by 100000"
AS to the effect of the election of
Harding on the league of nations he
said:
Senator Harding, in his speech of
August 20, said that he was in favor
of a league or association of nations
to promote peace. He said further in
that speech that if he thought it neces-
sary for the peace Of Europe and the
world to take the existing league, with
the Objectionable features cut out by
the republican senate amendments or
reservations, he would approve such
action. He said he proposes as soon
as election is over to confer with rep
resentatives Of the leading allied ma
lions and take up the situation on the
other side. AS the league of nations
is functioning now through various
organized committees, and has mem
bership of some 80 nations, the natural
thing, it seems to me, is to take that
league as a basis, with the Root Philli-
more court feature and the republican
reservations already made. In that
form the United States might we'll ac-
cept the league. That is what hope
to see done. There certainly is much
greater hope Of accomplishing some
thing IN that way than by the election
of Mr.. Cox and perpetuation of the
present deadlock"
Il am opposed to government owner
ship of railroads." he continued, s.for
the reason that it would result in
waste and incfficiency and would
bring the railroads into politics. Our
experience during the war certainly
brought out with clearncss the defects
in government ownership and opera
tion. Now, under the Esch-C ummins
law, there is a prospect that they will
get back to working basis, some
thing that is essential to the country's

Princeton Versus St. Johns.

Last Saturday the local high school
eleven travelled to St. Johns universe
ty to play football. The boys con-
-sidered a university team a hard prop
osition to go against but they deter
mined to fight like tigers if neces-
sary. AS they approached the grid
iron they were Justify cheered by st.
Johns team.
The game was called by Referee
Lynch of the St. Cloud normal and
Princeton won the toss off and went on
the defense. Princeton carried the
ball to the 2O-yard line and lost it on
the defense. During the first half of
the game the ball was held within
Princeton's 40-yard line, and there
were still several minutes of play
when the ball went over to our boys.
Dugan at right half made a 10-yard
gain on wide-end run, Glade made
another gain around the other end,
Harding smashed through tackle for
several yards and Mark intercepted a
forward pass for a long gain.
Things looked bright for the locals,
as they were smashing St. Johns line
and making gains on end runs. The
rooters on the side lines had become
noiseless, for the Princetonians had
made their gains in regular order and
it looked as if they were rushing the
ball for a touchdown Dugan carried
the ball again and Princeton had less
than 10 yards to go. Then the time
keepers whistle came to St. Johns
rescue and the first half ended 0 to 0.
In the last half things and boys
started with rush, but change had
come over St. Johns eleven, for slow
ly but surely they chased the ball
back and, after hard fight, they
made touchdown. This was fol-
lowed by two more later in the game,
which ended 81 to in faver of St.
Johns.
Captain Mark found the change
which had come over the opponents,
for they had put 10 fresh men against
the locals in the last half of the game.
Langford, the right halfback of St.
Johns, was their star, as he made all
three touchdowns.

Will Mr.. Cravens Please Explain?
In the official proceedings Of the
hast meeting Of the board Of county
commissioners published in the Union
of septenberl6 swefnd the following
items:s.. -
{ zSfromberg e. Samuelson, labor and
material for building temporary quar-
tiers, county officers, Mile Laos coun-
ty, including vaults and offices, ST.

! Louis Solberg, labor and trucks for

movalz Of the. county records and fix
lures from, Princeton to. Milaca, $34.
C. O. Moore, labor as carpenter
making, boxes and crates for removal
of county records from Princeton to
Milaca, $50.
The above claims we're filed with
the county auditor and, being legiti-
mate, were allowed by the county
commissioners.
But the question is: Why were not
these expenses borne by the village of
Milaca, or did the editor of the Times
fabricate when he stated upon more
than one occasion in his paper that it.
would cost the county nothing to con-
struct new vaults or move the records
from Princeton?
Perhaps Mr. Cravens would gro
ciously condescend to give the tax
payers a solution of this enigma.
