Women Voters Rally at Isle.

A convention of the members Of the
Mile Laos County League of Women
Voters, which is contingent Of the
state league and hence affiliated with
the national organization, was held at
Isle on Friday and it proved to be an
enthusiastic gathering attended by
many people.
Mrs. Fairfield Of Wayzata, Mrs.
Beatty of Anoka and Mrs. A. D. Smith
Of Eveleth delivered addresses setting
forth the purposes of the league and
instructing the assemblage in the use
of the ballot. These speakers are well
versed in the subjects covered and
their talks were much appreciated.
The women Of Isle demonstrated
their hospitality by lavishly entertain
ing all visitors and furnishing an ex-
cellent luncheon, which is only custo-
mary, however, with the ladies Of this
pretty little village by the lakeside.

Those Soldiers Bonuses.

An American legion committee,
headed by Harrison Fuller, state COM
mander, at the capitol yesterday urged
a special session of the state legisla-
ture to provide funds for paying
bonuses as fast as the claims are al
lowed.
The committee conferred with bonus
board members behind closed doors
and later met with Governor Burn
quist. Major Fuller said no definite
understanding had been reached in
advance of the interview with the gov
ernor.
Minnesota service men may be
forced to wait until January for pay
ment of state bonuses unless the legis-
lature meets earlier in special session,
or financial condition changes make
possible the sale of bonus bonds, ac-
cording to predictions among state Of
icials. Opinions were that the bonus
law will be found not to permit service
men to cash their claims, even by TAX
ing discount.

Railroad Mems Wage Increase.

Six hundred million dollars was adj
ded to the pay envelope of the nations
100000 railroad workers on Tuesday
in the first award handed down by the
new United States railway labor
board
Rejecting the demands of the origi-
nal rail unions for increases totaling
approximately S1,0OO,OOO,OOO, the
board decided approximately 60 per
cent of that sum would be a just in
crease to meet present living condi-
tions.
The award adds approximately 21
per cent to the present pay schedules.
Railroad officials have declared that
any pay increase awarded the men
must be followed by corresponding
increase in rates and they plan, it is
said, to file new tariffs with the in
terstate commerce commission as soon
as they can be prepared.
The men will receive back pay from

Kvale Outlawed as G. OF Candidate

Kvale Outlawed as G.. o. P. Candidate.
Rev. O. ]. Kvale of Benson is dis
qualified as congressional nominee in
the seventh diStrict-the nonpartisan
leaguer's nomination is acnulled and
he is not entitled by the decision rem
dered on Tuesday, to have his name
printed on the official ballot this fall.
Kvale was charged with violating the
currupt practices act by making false
statements against Congressman Vol
stead, his opponent, during the cam
paign, among other things charging
that he YVES an atheist.
Judge Johnson says in his decision
that the acts of Kvale constitute a
deliberate, serious and material viola
ton of the laws Of the state relating
to nominations and elections, ard that
there is no justification or excuse
therefor"
Kvale's counsel gave notice tnct he
would file an appeal with the state
supreme court Immediately.

laughed at them, saying, in effect, that
if they obtained a crop Of potatoes
from that soil they could make apples
grow on fence posts. When the skep-
tics, however, saw the vines, with
heavy stalks, spring up they were
amazed-they said miracle had been
performed, and, in a way, it had. But
it was mere miracle of soil transfer
nation and improved methods of cul-
tivation.
The soil transformation was effected
simply by the scientific application Of
Swift's fertilizer, and the very latest
machinery for cultivating and keeping
down the weeds was used. Hence
land that was considered almost value
less has been brought to state Of
perfection in which the yield Of pota.
toes is estimated to reach from $50 tt
300 bushels per acre. People arc nov
coming from distant points on pur
pose to view this field of potatoes.

LOCALS LOSE GAME
Bows Go to st. Cloud and Are Defeat
ed by Toggery Nine of That
Place by Score of to 3.
The Same Teams Will Come Together
at Fair Grounds, Princeton, on
Sunday, August l.

The Princeton ball team travelled to
st. Cloud Sunday and emerged from
a contest with the Toggery nine of
that city with the short end Of 5 to
count. One inning wrecked the hopes
of Princeton, when four of the Granite
City athletes completed the circuit.
Princeton started right off the reel
to get into the run column, but the St.
Cloud Jumps" applied the brakes to
the scoring machine. Doane was first
up. He hit safe and purloined second.
Peterson and Duncan fouled out, but
Erickson laced out a hot one just in
side the third base. It was clean
double and Doane raced home. The
Jumps" was equal to the occasion,
however, and he calmly pronounced it
a foul. Doane went back to second
and Erickson took another swing at
the ball, but was retired.
ST. Cloud was BANKED in the first
but Galley counted for Princeton in the
second. He went to first on four balls
and stole second, counting when Fisher
drove one through the short stop. St.
Cloud was again retired scoreless in,
the second and both sides were BANKED
in the third.
Princeton grabbed another run in
the fourth. Raiche got on through
an error and counted on Fishers blow.
St. Cloud also broke into the run
column this round, a base on balls and
hit enabling Horner to count.
Princeton was BANKED in the fifth.
and then St. Cloud iced the game by
pushing four runs over Three hits,
walk and some errors figured in the
scoring.
Princeton fought gamely to the end,
and BANKED its opponents the balance:
of the game. One run was added to
| our total in the sixth La Bissoniere
slammed out clean double and went
to third on Petterson's blow, scoring
on passed ball. In the eighth
Princeton put in a strong bid for the
game, when Peterson and Duncan
got to third and second, respectively.
Again in the ninth the locals went
down only after desperate attempt
to even up the count, Galley being
called out at home on a decision that
was questionable, to say the least.
Princeton displayed superior form
in all departments of play, and had
| it not been for the one bad inning
| there is no doubt but what it would
have won.

It is a mistaken idea that soil COM
posed entirely of sand will not bring
forth prolific crops. This idea is abso-
lutely disproved by glance at the
above Photographic reproduction,
which shows section of a potato field
planted by R. L. Pitcher & Co. on
the old Chadbourne farm in Baldwin
Ia farm that for productivity was
considered practically worthless. But
Mr.. Sampson and Mr.. Thomas inspect
ed this "sand pile" and winked at one
another. They said, "We'll buy this
old rundown farm" and they did. In
addition they bought other "good-for-
nothing" farms until they had acquired
over 1900 acres.
Then, in the spring, they went to

and introduced their soil transforms

SCHOOL ELECTION
w. H. Smith Succeeds E. L. McMil-
Ian, and Clarence E. Young is
Reelected Member.
They Are Both Level Headed Business
Men Who Can be Depended
Upon to Do Their Duty.

The annual school election for In
dependent district No. l (Princeton)
was held on Saturday evening be-
tween the hours of land 8. Two men,
bers Of the board Of education were
to be elected, each for term Of three
years, and those who filed and whose
names were printed on the regular
ticket were w. H. Smith and c.. E.
Young, the first named to succeed E.
L. McMillan-who had served for 16
years and declined to be candidate
for reelection as he considered that a
sufficiently long period-and the sec
ond to succeed himself.
When the ballots were counted it
was shown that Clarence Young had
received 1T votes, w. H. Smith 107
and j. V. Morgan Ia, Morgan's name
having been written on the ticket.
The school board now consists of
DR.. McRae, Ben Soule, A.. B. Gramer,
E. E. Whitney, Clarence E. Young
and w. H. Smith.
A school board member has no sine
cure-no snap, as some people
imagine. In fact it is an unthankful
position with no compensation but a
multitude of kicks, consequently the
Princeton school board has had it's
troubles, but they have been success
fully overcome. For many years the
board has been constituted of level
headed men who have taken intense
interest in their work and given gen
eral satisfaction. In the election of
Mr.. Smith, cashier Of the Princeton
State bank, the people acted wisely
and also in the return Of Mr.. Young
to succeed himself. The board as now
constituted could scarcely be improved
upon-it is body Of men working
tremendously together for the public
welfare.

wanted to raise political hell But
these several influences could not
agree upon the route to this end
along which they could travel to-
gether, so there will be at least three
excursion parties advertising their at
fractions to the detached voter with
little prospect of a crowd in the ag-
gregate.
If there had been in any quarter
dream of the birth of new liberal
party, attracting membership by ad-
vanced doctrines and frightening
away no applicants by the Tapping
Of the red flag Of ultra-radicalism, the
awakening came with shock. The
extremists took charge Of affairs from
the outset. The outlaw labor group,
in rebellion against Gompers and the
American Federation Of Labor, as
sumed command, hoisted the red flag
and warned the liberals off the prem.
Uses. They tackled a farmer label to
their title, but it is meaningless, as
there was no more farmer representa-
ton in their proceedings than there
was farmer sympathy with their
political expressions.
The extreme to which the bolshevist
group went with it's declaration of
principles is best shown in the fact
that La Toilette, selected in advance
as it's presidential candidate, was COM
PEELED to hold his nose and retreat from
the arena. The Wisconsin apostle of
discomfort had exceeded all previous
limits in the platform he had pre-
pared and upon which he was willing
to make campaign, but it was en-
tirely too pink for the radicals in con-
troll; while their Russianized program
was so extreme that even La Toilette
shrunk from the role of Lenine in the
proposed drama. An attorney from
Utah was given the nomination and
the gathering split up into it's original
three parts.
