Democratic Rally.

About ESQ people were present" at
the democratic meeting in the armory
on Monday evening. The meeting had
not been widely advertised because the
committee was not able to complete
arrangements for the speakers until
last Friday. It was a fair-sized audi
ence considering the inclement weather
and the inadequate heating facilities
in the armory.
C. H. Nelson introduced the two
speakers, Mrs. F. j. Smith and Charles
NJ. Andrist. Mr.. Andrist was candi-
date for the democratic gubernatorial
nomination in 1912 and later was
private secretary to Governor Ham
mond.
Mrs. Smith spoke on the league of
nations. She believes that we must
join the league of nations as it exists
today if we are to become members
of that organization. Such a line Of
argument is utterly useless and with
out foundation. The prominent states
men in the leading European countries
have stated that those countries would
be perfectly willing to accept the
United States as a member of the
league Of nations with all the reserva-
lions adopted by the senate.
Mr.. Andrist, who is fluent speaker,
also conferred most of his discussion
on the league of nations. He compared
the organization and policies Of the
republicans and democrats and touched
on some Of the issues Of the national
campaign. Mr.. Andrist praised the
administration of President Wilson
and referred to the wonderful accom-
plishments of this country during the
war. There was of course enormous
waste in various government depart
ments, but, as Mr.. Andrist said, the
American citizen does not want to lose
sight Of the big things that were ac-
complished. It was the United States
that finally turned the tide of battle
and brought victory to the allies. For
such a victory we had to pay the price,
but let us not overemphasize the num-
Der of dollars expended.
In conclusion Mr.. Andrist endorsed
Cox and the state democratic ticket,
urging the democrats to stand by their
party.

When the lyceum course for Prince
ton was being selected the local COM
mittee in charge was advised to
choose Miss Taylor for one of the
numbers as she is considered the best
impersonator on the lyceum circuit,
and from all reports the committee
made particularly happy choice for
she possesses unusual ability. A num-
Der here in Princeton who have heard
Miss Taylor in other towns are
anxious to hear her again. They all
say there is never a dull moment from
the time she first appears on the
stage until the curtain drops on her
last number. She is evidently clever.
about gauging her audiences and she
gives each just what it wants. She
can be mirth provoking or serious and
is altogether charming in any role
she attempts. :,
Those who have not already pur-
chased season tickets will do well to
DO so before this entertainment as that
will still effect a considerable saving.
Adult single admissions are so cents.
The season ticket is $1.50 and there
are five more entertainments. Chill
dren's single admissions are rs cents
and the season tickets are 81. Chill
dren under 8 admitted free with their
parents, but they must sit with their
parents and not in the front seats.

and the soul
An invitation was then given to any
who wished to unite with the church.
Thirty-three responded. It was a
splendid class. There were the young
with life and hope to help, and the old
with most of life behind them, but with
a ripe experience to give hand to
guiding the affairs Of the church.
The Lords life and sacrifice were
remembered in partaking Of the COM
1nunion, during which hearts were
touched by the sweet appealing tones
Of the organ so skillfully played by
Mrs. Ben Soule.

Good Citizenship After Election.

Many look upon citizenship as a
mere campaign stunt. For them it
ends with registering and voting.
Such citizens neglect their duties after
election is over. They neither praise
nor counsel the public servants who
direct government for them. They
neither watch nor appraise the labori-
Gus work of the president, congress or
bench. They take their shoulders from
the wheel.
Under the circumstances what is
more inconsiderate and inconsistent
than the walls of such voters when
politicians in power manipulate things
as they please?
Such citizens little understand that
good government is the child of good
citizenship. Good government makes
citizenship an all-the-year-round job.
If corrupt politicians get control Of
government the blame lies wholly with
those who act as good citizens only
during campaigns. For corruption in
our political life comes in only when
good citizenship sleeps. The past has
generally proved this to be somewhere
around the wee small hours after cleo
ton, after the torches and campaign
paraphernaia have been laid aside till
another campaign.
The election Of today makes this an
opportune time to remind voters, es-
tpecially the new women voters, Of
these things. They have worked hard

Reception to Rev. Henry hobbs.

On Friday evening, October 20, the
members and congregation of the
Methodist Episcopal church rendered
their new pastor, Rev. Henry hobbs,
and family a reception. Words of
welcome were spoken by Adna Orion,
Rev. Larson, C. A. Jump, John
Bishop and Mrs Larson for the diff
ferent organizations Of the church and
responses were made by Rev. and Mrs.
hobbs.
Dainty refreshments were served
by the ladies, everyone passed a
pleasant time and very promising
beginning was made for the new year.
Rev. and Mrs. hobbs are very lika-
bic people and it is hoped they will
feel at home in their new location.

Sunday was a day long to be re-

At this time it is impossible to give
any specific figures on the national

is no possibility of the democratic
candidates being elected. The Hard

the country has ever seen and Preus'

o'clock. The ceremony was performed

Mrs. George A. Carleton, sister Of the

Good Roads Amendment Receives 7O6
Votes Against 81 Votes Cast
in Opposition.

In their vote on Tuesday it is clear
ly apparent that the majority Of both
the men and women Of Princeton had
carefully studied the political situa-
ton and knew full we'll for whom they
were casting their ballots. The big
majority vote for Harding and Preus
clinches the fact that their aim was to
place 100 per cent Americans in these
important positions-president of the
United States and governor of the
great state of Minnesota. The elector
of a certain w. W. Cox received a
couple of votes, but these were proba-
bly, mistakenly placed and intended for
James M. Cox, the democratic candl-
date for president. Eleven votes
were cast to the winds by depositing
them for Debs' electors, the said Mr..
Debs being now serving term in
Leavenworth penitentiary, and another
three votes were thrown away by bal
loting for Mr.. Watkins, prohibitionist.

AS to Service Mems Bonuses.

In a circular issued by the Mime
sofa department Of the American
legion we find the following:
The cause of delay in payment Of
approved claims is the fact that funds
for payment of bonuses are not avail
able because the interest rate on
bonus bonds provided by the bonus law
is so low that bonds cannot be sold
at par, and the state is not permitted
to sell the bonds at discount
The American legion state conven-
ton recommended that the next legis-
lature raise the rate of interest so
that bonus bonds can be sold and that
interest be paid on bonus claims from
August 1, 1920 (date when payment
ceased), to date of payment of bonus.
1t did not approve any plan for asking
claimants to discount their bonus
claims.
Banks in many communities are buy
ing bonus bonds at sacrifice on con-
dition that the money be used to pay
bonus claimants in their communities
the full amount Of their bonus claims.
Other banks are purchasing bonus
bonds on condition that the money be
paid to specified service men, making
a reasonable charge to cover the
banks loss on the bonds, in most in
stances $3.75 per 500, which means
that the SERVICE man, in order to Sc
cure his money at once, discounts his
bonus claim to that extent. Any ap-
plicant whose bonus claim is approved
can take advantage of this plan. While
the American legion has not approved
the discounting of bonus claims and
believes that all claimants should be
treated alike by the state, it sees moth
ing improper in this plan if the indi-
vidual prefers as business PROPOSE
ton to pay the discount for the imme-
date use Of the money. Information
as to this plan of payment may be
secured, not from the bonus board,
but from local banks. If local banks
have no information have them write
their twin city correspondent or the
bonus board, SO that one inquiry may
serve the entire community. Complete
lists Of bonus claims from any COM
munity, already approved but not paid,
may be had by any bank or American
legion post from the bonus board on
The bonus board will have all claims
audited and ready for payment before
the converting Of the next session Of
the legislature except those involving
doubtful questions Of Interpretation of
the bonus law as to persons entitled
to the bonus. When these questions
are more definitely sifted out the
American legion will take steps to Sc
cure the most liberal Interpretation
possible for the benefit of ex-service
men and women, either by fostering
legislation interpreting the law or by
bringing test cases, or by BOTH.
The last American legion state con-
vention provided for a standing COM
mittee to investigate and publish from
time to time their correct findings as
to the administration If the bonus.
Such committee has been named and
will make thorough investigation and
detailed report as soon as possible.

amendment No. 1, the Babcock good

been ratified by the voters Of Minneso-

Virtually all reports tabulated dis
close overwhelming sentiment in favor
of the amendment
Senator Leonard H. Nord of the Min

Baby Clinic November 10.


A baby clinic similar to the one
held here this time last year will be
conducted here on Wednesday, No
vember 10, from 9 to 5, in DR..
Cooney's office, which has been loaned
for the occasion.
This clinic is for the examination
Of children up to the age Of 6 wears.
1t is held under the auspices of the
Mile Laos County Public Health as
ISOLATION, which is a branch of the
Minnesota Public Health association
and, while it is a free clinic, it is in
no way charity affair as it is financed
from the proceeds of last years Red
Cross Christmas seals. The clinic will
be in charge of a physician who is a
specialist in diseases of children.
These clinics give mothers an OPP
portunity to find out if their children
are in a normal condition and if they
are getting the proper care and food
to keep them in such normal condition.
All mothers in Princeton and sur
rounding country, regardless of which
county they are residents, are urged
to bring their children to the clinic.
Those residing in Princeton are re-
quested to attend in the morning, if
possible, in order that the afternoon
hours may not be so crowded. A COM
mittee Of women from the Civic Bet
terment club will assist at the clinic.

HONEY-DEW HONEY BEE LOSSES
HEAVY

The presence of honey-dew honey
caused heavy mortality among bees last
winter. Francis lager, head of the
division of bee culture at University
Farm, says that honey-dew is gathered by
bees mostly from oak trees, but at times
from naples, and can be distinguished in
the hive by its black color.
"Honey-dew honey" adds the bee di-
vision chief, contains much indigestible
material which fills the intestines of bees
during their winter confinement, causing
a condition called dysentery. To over
come this it is necessary that the beekeeper
feed his bees for winter stores at least
ten pounds of sugar syrup or white honey
after the brood rearing season. Bees will
store this wholesome food in the brood
chamber where they will use it first.
When they reach the honey-dew honey
next spring they will use it for raising
brood."-UniVersity Farm Press Neaus.

edy, "The Summer Girls;" two reels Ar

and Arbuckle comedies are always greeted
with applause and the $500 feet of film pro-
vided in this entertainment were as usual
full of action and humor. The trained
seals, dogs and "Ralph," the Pelican,
played their parts with almost human in
stinct and shared equal honors with Mack

mortality" And such as lucy Gray"
"The Phantom of Delight" 81 Wandered
Lonely as a Cloud" and others that can
be best found in Matthew Arnold's selec-
tions in the Golden Treasure"
Next let US turn to Burns, he stands by
himself, although one of the most popular
that wrote in the English language. His
simple love songs as "My Love is Like
the Red, Red Rose" "Jean," "Highland
Mary" and who can forget "Baunock-
burn," and others you will find for your
SELF
If one wishes to find in poetry comfort
for a weary mood, one will not look for it
IN such poets as Pope and Dryden, with
their clever lines. Pope has more quote
able lines than almost any other poets ex-
cept Shakespeare; and his Essay on Man"
is interesting, and perhaps we may find
even charm in "The Rape of the Lock-"
Milton is different He is the one noble
and lofty poet of the English language.
His greatest is paradise Lost" we should
never read more than page or two at
time, for it is too great, too lofty for the
common mind to bear long; but who
would miss the pleasure of reading this
single page or two once month or once
a year. And his "Hymn to the Nativity!"
And such lyrical poems as "L'Allegro"
and I'll Penseroso" will be found to possess
an easy charm.
There are other poems by less known
poets, which only the individual reader
will find and make his own. For myself,
1 know no poems like better to read than
Matthew Arnold's "Tristram and Isenlt,"
"Switzerland," and "Dover Beach," while
many admire poems by Coleridge's can
cient Mariner" and his "Christabel;" and
Ben Jonson's ."Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes," and Goldsmith's "When
Lovely Women Stoops to Folly"
While others may like poems by Emer-
son and George Eliot and Dickens in the
same way, though we are not accustomed
to think of these writers as among great
poets. Though Edward Fitzgerald's
"Rubaiyat of Omar Kayyam" is transla-
ton, it is one of the most popular poems
in the English language, and considered
also one of the greatest.
Note: Many of the poems here men,
toned may be found in various selections
by different authors.
Note: Look for Chapter VII, title "The
Best Short Stories"
