Tenth District Delegate Mixup.

The two sets of delegates elected
from the tenth congressional district
to the Chicago convention will have to
dance attendance for several days on
committees. The contest comes up
first before the republican national
committee, which meets May % at
Chicago to make up the temporary
roll of the convention. AS there were
two conventions and each set of dele
gates has credentials from duly elected
convention officers, they have an equal
prima facie standing, but it will be up
to the national committee to say which
delegation shall be seated in the tenn
porary organization Of the convention.
That puts the other set Of delegates
on the outside as contestants, and in
that guise they will appear before the
credentials committee.
The national committee has the
usual string Of southern contests to
dispose of, and it is understood that
IllSSV Will NC LdhO1l up uISC, SO VIC
Minnesota contest will not be reached
until shortly before the convention
meets June 8.
Albert F. Pratt and Lowell E. Jep-
son, elected by the Caswell-Stark con-
vention, are instructed for Leonard
Wood. Thomas D. Schall and L. M.
Mithun, elected by the Rahn-G irling
convention, are uninstructed, but
Schall is an active supporter of Hiram
johnson and Mithun is supposed to
favor the Californian. The critical
question for the national committee to
decide is, wholhad the right to call the
district convention to order? E. w.
Stark called one, convention to order
under authority given him by the state
central committee. A. A. D. Rain
called the other to order as district
chairman.

Atkinson Disappointed in League.

Editor Atkinson Of the Hibbing
News, who has been sticking to the
nonpartisan league like limpet to a
rock, has cast off his ship from its
mooring in consequence of the attitude
of the Townley leaders to the Babcock
road plan. He says in part:
'"The nonpartisan league, according
to its official organ, the Minnesota
Leader, is opposed to the Babcock
highway plan and for mighty pecu-
| liar reason.
, ut does not deny that the hard sur
faced roads will be a boon to every
person in the state; it does not deny
that the work will not be any kind
of drag upon the farmers, because
it is to be paid for by a direct tax
on automobiles, and therefore the
greater share will be paid by city resi-
dents; it does not deny that all of the
hard-surfaced road will be in the coun-
try, which will be Of the greatest SER
vice and benefit to the farmer, and it
does not deny that 1t will materially
cheaper the farmers overhead ex-
penses and bring the whole people in
to closer communion.
1T does not deny any of those
things, or any of the other benefits
that may come from the new highway
system.
"But it hinges its opposition to the
greatest benefits ever produced for the
state upon the treatment the league re-
ceived from the republican party. In
as many other words, the league pro-
poses to cut off its own nose to spite
its, face.
"And we thought the league was a
tighter, not a -whiner.
"But we do not believe for minute
that the league membership as whole
will oppose the highway plan on any
such flimsy excuse-the farmer knows
a good thing when he sees it, and he
knows that the Babcock highway plan
will be of greater good to him than
any other class.
with or without the leagues assis-
lance Minnesota will adopt the Bah
cock plan, and the greater the league
opposition the deeper will ba the hole
it will dig for ITSELF

Harold R. Galley, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. H. Galley of Princeton, was mar
ried on Saturday evening, May l, at
$3.50 o'clock, to Miss Ruth S. Reed, at
the home Of the BRIDES parents, Mr..

of Harold, was the groomsman and
Miss Rachel Reed, sister Of the bride,
the bridesmaid.
About 60 invited guests attended the
wedding and the festivities which fol-
lowed the ceremony, among them be-
ing Miss Joyce Peterson of Princeton.
The decorations at the Reed home were
of springs fairest blossoms, artistical-
ly arranged so as to- give, in combina-
ton with the rays from the electric
bulbs, very pretty Kaleidoscope eff
feet
The groom was born and raised in
Princeton and is graduate of Prince
ton high school and Harvard universe
ty. Soon after the commencement of
the world war he enlisted in the navy
and had not been in the service long
before he was promoted to the rank
of ensign and assigned to submarine
chaser as commander. In this position
he served with honor until discharged
from service at the cessation of hostili-
ties. He is clean-cut young man of
sterling principles who has hundreds
of friends in this part of the country.
His bride, who upon one occasion Wis
tied Princeton, is an accomplished
young lady of prepossessing PERSONAL
ty who endeared herself to those with
whom she became acquainted during
her short stay here. She is gradu-
ate of Smith college.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Galley are now
on their bridal trip and expect to- be
at home in Elk River, where the groom

There is nothing which the seniors
can imagine more glorious than that
last week of school which is to be
named after themselves. Everything
which doesn't spell happiness is to be
entirely eradicated. Every day is a
red-letter day and every night is an

two banquets, one picnic, commence

does not imply our death as an or

School News Budget.

There are many mods IN the assem-
bly, room as we'll as in the class rooms.
The pupils eyes wander out of doors.
0, if they were only out there. It is
great temptation to skip school.
These are all signs Of spring fever.
The cooking class is now studying
meat and many are the different
answers when asked to give structure
and composition and explain. We are
now planning a dinner which is to be
made during the class time, consist
ing of creamed potatoes, steak, bread
and butter, scalloped corn, pickles and
pineapple Bavarian cream. Don't you
wish you were wearing cooking out
fit for at least two periods day? :
The seniors are working hard on
their play, "Let's Get Married." and it
is coming along at the speed of sixty
miles an hour. 1t will be ready to
present to the public about May rs.
Everybody save your pennies until
then and help the seniors.
The seniors are all happy now that
they have found that they do not have
to learn their essays. It lifts fright
full weight from all our minds. They
are so burdened nowadays with other
things.
The seniors were pleasantly sur
prised the other day. Why? Oh, just
because it was announced to them
that local examinations would be given
them instead of the states, so that
those fortunate people can devote the
last week to other stern realities of
life. It has been murmured, however,
that some of the local examinations
may prove more difficult than the
states.
Hurrah! We have finished our an
cient history books and are now re-
viewing.
We have an artist in school now who
leaves his work in the rear of the as
sembly room. 1t is quite center of
attraction sometimes. Anyone upon
entering the assembly would be sure
to notice the "great art panel" in the
back of the room. All the artists do
nate their work for the purpose Of up
lifting the morals of the school. That
part of the assembly is always filled
with freshies WIG stand gazing at it
in open establishment, critical sophie
mores, love-sick juniors and giggling
seniors who try to act aloof but are
filled with green-eyed jealousy.
The freshies are planning picnic.
Poor little things-they don't seem to
realize that examinations are almost
here.

EXCEEDSNEEDS
Vice President Of National
Association Says Bitumi-
nous Product Plentiful.

The 10000 bituminous mines now
in operation are able to produce
100, 5000 more coal per year than
the United States is able either to
use or export and there is no reason
to pay a high price for coal, accord
ing to j. d. A. Morrow, vice presi-
dent Of the National Coal Associa-
tion. who pleaded against Federal
control of the mines suggested by
Senator Calder in an address yes
terday.
So great Is the untouched coal
land acreage along the railroads.
said Morrow, that 10000 additional
mines could be opened. The only
trouble now. he adds. lies nj trans
portation.
Dwelling upon high speculative
prices tina texisted in some of the
Isoft-coal fields during the shortage,
Morrow said:
The sunfortunate feature was
that 1t afforded an unusual oppor-
tunity for speculators who never
had anything to do with the coal
industry before to inject themselves
into the market and accentuate an
already acute situation. The Ma
tional Coal Association, represent
ing the responsibles butuminous coal
producers bf the, Unitss States. has
had no sympathy at any time with
these speculative abuses
Tt Is only in the past few months
that We have had enough cars to
transport coal. In the meantime
the production has arisen to 12,000,-
900 tons a week. and prices have
begun to decline so that we are
now much below the price levels
prevailing six weeks ago.
''If the priority orders of the In
terstate Commerce Commission are
continued until December l, have
no doubt that production will be
sufficient during the remainder of
the winter, together with the re-
serves that will have then been
accumulated, to carry the country
through to next spring without any
difficulty. Therefore, there Is no
reason for anyone to pay any un-
reasonable prices for soft coal.
