The remains of Mrs. Louise Sever
ance, who died recently at Pinehurst,
Wash, where she resided with her
daughter, Lila, were brought to Spen-
Ger Brook, where funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Geer on Mon
day afternoon. The interment was in

solemnities.

The Chicago Convention.

The republican national convention,
which will open at Chicago on June
8, will be the fifth consecutive repub-
lican convention held in the great mid
die west metropolis. Roosevelt was
nominated in Chicago in 1904, and the
republicans have named their standard
bearers there ever since. The conven-
ton of 1920 will be, perhaps, the most
interesting in the history of the re-
publican party, with several strong
contenders for the presidency aid ele-
ments of uncertainty in the situation
which will keep the country doubtful
as to the outcome Of the balloting, in
all probability, throughout the conven-
ton. 1t is estimated that the atten-
dance at the 1920 convention will break
all records, and that for enthusiasm as
well as size it will touch high water
mark in national convention history.

however, significant detail in this
collegiate triumph in that the winners
are working students and in no sense

of the designation. Mr.. Joslyn, the

Baccalaureate Service.

Last Sunday evening the baccalau-
reate services for the Princeton high
school class of 1920 were held in the
auditorium of the high school and
were well attended. According to Gus
tom, the sophomores had arranged
the decorations and had exhibited much
taste in doing so. The stage was very
prettily decorated with trilliums,
whose pink and green shone softly
forth as the senior class colors.
Across the stage below the footlights
the high school colors orange and
black-were gracefully draped. Mrs.
Soule was at the piano and played a
prelude of soft music which merged
into a march as the seniors entered.
The mems chorus of the Congrega-
tional church rendered two numbers
very acceptably.
Rev. w. B. Milne Of the Congrega-
tional church delivered the address.
He took for his theme, "Vision Before
Action" His text was from I Kings,
3-15. He commended the class on its
choice of motto, .sThe elevator to
success is not running. Take the
stairs" and recommended that before
taking up any important matter or be-
fore embarking upon any project that

The senior class play, Lets Get.

every standpoint. The characters
were excellently chosen, and each one
played his or her own particular part
in a most acceptable manner. Ruth
Herdliska was most stately and dig
nified mother who continually worried
about her children. Julia Birkeland
and Leslie Bloomquist. Julia played
in clever manner the girl who wanted
to elope, but when her plans failed she
was, content with salad and sandwiches
instead of husband, while Leslie
tried SO hard to make himself uncon-
ventional. Vivian Holm, as the Irish
brogue, brought down the house with

her remarks about Ghosts. Mildred
Howard played the lead, and wound the
audience as well as Morris Davis, who
did a clever piece Of acting as the UNI
comfortable guest around her finger.
Ida Henschel was a typical, timid, tear
full heroine, who believed in men, but
was cruelty disappointed. Roy Busch
carried off honors as the man who
didn't know how much it cost to get
married.
Between acts Theron and Donald
Sampson gave a clever little vaude-
vile sketch, "Pickles for Two" and
Roy Busch and Julia Birkeland sang
some songs.
Altogether everyone who attended
the performance was we'll satisfied.

Why Good Cows Come High.

The high prices now paid for pure
bred dairy cattle lead many to think
that the dairy farm must be a verita-
BILE gold mine. And as milk and but
ter are universal foods, the public is
deeply interested in the facts behind
the bottle Of milk and the brick Of
butter.
Fifty years ago western dairying
was an accidental industry. What the
cow happened to give the farmer took
and passed on to the consumer at
what he could happen to get. What
the farmer got from his cow was pin
money; the cow was not debited with
her board, but was looked upon as a
benevolent creature whatever her per-
formance at the pail.
Today the cow is business PROPOSE
ton. Bran is worth fifty dollars a ton;
"cowfeed," balanced ration, is seven
ty dollars ton. Hay is worth twenty
dollars, sometimes rising to forty
dollars. Pasture land, Of which the
cow must have at least two acres, is
worth from two to three hundred dol
lars an acre. Add to this oats at a dol
lar bushel, barley at dollar seventy
five and corn, at two dollars, and we
find that the board bill of a milk COW
is something like that of a man. It
could easily mount to dollar day.
If we add to this the cows share of
the salary Of the barn hand and mixer
who can command hundred a month
and board, and add also the cost of
housing and the interest on her pur-
chase price, we find that COW must
yield an annual product worth at leas,
four hundred dollars to justify her be.

Thus it is plain why most cows in a
scrub or mongrel herd are liabilities
and why, to keep ahead of her board
bill, cow must be Of good birth anc
breeding. That is why pure-brec
dairy cattle of high productive record.
are selling at what look to be fame,

Don't be a SOrehead-Eat Crow.

A crow banquet in all it's diversified
lions will be given free at the armory
tomorrow night so that Princeton and
the south end of Mile Laos county may
celebrate the recent election in APP
propriate style and graceful spirit.
Fred Newton has succeeded in shoot
ing gross CAD crows, but he doubts,
at half bird apiece, whether this will
be sufficient to go around. However,
those who do not succeed in securing a
piece of this species of game bird will
be fed on some sort of meat equally as
tender and juicy, such as pocket 60
pher and ground squirrel-delicacies
in their particular category. Mayor
Vandevanter and Odin Odegard have
been selected as crow cooks and they
have already picked the birds and
hung them in Calvin Olson's refrigera-
tor. It has been decided that the crow
part of the menu shall consist of

After this has been devoured ice
cream and dyspepsia tablets will be
served. Cigars and cigarettes will al
so be handed out in lunches. !.
Amusement features will consist of
songs by the Grow quartet of Mime
apolis, the blacklist negroes north Of
the Mason and Dixon line; selections
by the Princeton band and some short
talks.
A cordial invitation is extended to
neighboring farmers regardless of the
county in which they reside to partici-
pate in the festivities.

Memorial Sunday.

Last Sunday morning at st. Ed
wards church memorial services were
held in honor of the heroes of the civil
war, the Spanish American war and
the boys who engaged in the great
world war conflict. AS the old soldiers
of '61'65 passed into the church
legionaires were lined up on each side
as guard of honor. There were but
six of the fighters of other days in at
tendance, for time has made sad
havoc in their ranks-they are fast
crossing into the camp of the supreme
commander in chief. The church was
prettily decorated for this especial oc-
casion.
Following the rendition of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" beautifully
rendered, high mass, with inspiring
music, was celebrated, and then Father
Mayer delivered q most eloquent and
impressive sermon. His theme was
along the line Of liberty, patriotism,
loyalty and independence, and was
somewhat historical in it's nature.
Father Mayer traced the love of liber-
ty to early days, saying our forefath-
ers fought for it, our civil war veter-
ans fought for it, our boys in the great
world conflict fought for it and we are
fighting for it now The unrest caused
by anarchists, I. w. w., nonpartisans
and others Of like ilk makes this fight
necessary to preserve our liberty and
strengthen our patriotism and loyalty.
Men have fought for liberty from the
beginning of time and died for it. But
socialism, under the banner of which
all the revolutionary elements of the
world have gathered-by whatsoever
name they may designate themselves
seeks to destroy all the fundamental
principles Of our government and to
establish so-called soviet regime such
as is being fostered in Russia TODAY,
The speaker urged concerted action
by all true Americans in the over
throw Of this menace of socialism
which has reared it's hideous, destruc-
tive head among us, and thus prevent
It's ascendancy. He praised the sol
diers and said he knew they could be
depended upon to assist in crushing
the greatest enemy of America today
socialism.
The services concluded with the
singing of america
The Union regrets that it is unable
to give Rev. Mayors sermon verbatim.
1t was one Of the most masterful dis
cussions ever delivered upon like oc-
casion.

Americans to honor them all, as we'll
as those who escaped the enemy's bull
lets and still remain among US
those who unfinchingly performed
their duty. Then, again, there are the
brave Red Cross nurses, the Salvation
army workers and members Of other
organizations who sacrificed their
lives upon the altar of their country.
Memorial day should be observed with
due appreciation Of it's significance
as day of mourning for and tribute
to the heroes of many battles. Ball
games or other amusements should

Of reverence and prayer. In France,
England and other countries where our
soldiers and sailors are laid to rest
appropriate memorial services will be
held and the graves decorated
with flowers and flags people of
many nationalities will take part in
the tribunal ceremonies to Americans.

Paper Wasted on Propaganda.

partmental appropriation bill without
the provision for congressional super
vision of executive printing and
mimeographing on account Of which
the president vetoed the measure, the
orgy Of press agenting by the admin
istration continues undated. Despite
the shortage, paper is being wasted by
the ton on printing and propaganda
literature and the accounts of the
achievements Of administration Off

deluged with samples Of government
literature, which recipients say they
invariably consign to wastebaskets

sequence Milaca Will Be the
County's Capital.
Mile Laos County Taxpayers AssO-

Questionable Tactics.

A heavy vote was polled throughout
the county in Saturdays election and
the removalists carried the day by a
large majority This means that the
county seat will go to Milaca if the
statute prescribing the time for 3re-
moval is taken advantage Of. Both
sides put up lively fght-the tao
tics of the two opposing forces, how
ever, being vastly different.

throughout. There was no misrep-
resentation, no vilifcation, no figure
Juggling injected into the contest. The
plain statement of facts was placed be-
fore the taXpayers-facts that cannot
be successfully refuted. However, for
some reason not clearly apparent, the
majority Of the voters-with the ex-
ception of those in Princeton village,
Princeton township and Greenbush-
cast their ballote for the removal Of
the county seat and it's attendant in
crease in taxation Notwithstanding
the fact that the county seat has been
lost to Princeton, everyone who was
opposed to the removal appears to be-
taking the outcome gracefully, which
is the only philosophic course to pur-
sue.

Republican Platform Contest,

The announcement by the Judges
of the three winners of the Walker
Blaine Beale contest will satisfy an
impatient interest that has been truly
national and even International ever
since last November, when Truxten
Beale made public his generous offer
to the young republicans of the land.
Announcement was made last fall by
Chairman Will H. Hays Of the repub-
lican national committee of Mr. Beale's
offer of three prizes aggregating $1O,-
600 for the best republican platforms,
written by republicans not over 25
years of age. The contest closed on
March 81 and since that time the three
judges have labored over towering
pile of manuscript.
The purpose of the contest was pure
ly educational. The design was sim
ply to stimulate the young men and
women of the country to political
thought, to furnish an incentive for
political study, to counterfeit the care
less and dangerous theory of ''too
much politics." and to substitute for
it the doctrine of more and better
politics.
The number of contestants far ex-
ceeded the expectations of the pro-
moters of the plan, and the quantity
and quality of the political knowledge
displayed by the contestants was most
encouraging. Manuscripts came from
every section Of the United States,
from Canada, Porto Rico, Hawaii,
Alaska, and even the lately acquired
Virgin islands were represented.
While there was wide diversity Of
treatment of the political questions of
the day, there was nevertheless a
unanimity of opinion, positiveness of
decision and similarity of construc-
tive suggestion that make obvious the
solidarity of the republican thought of
the land.
The criticism of the administration,
for the most part voiced with intelli-
gent restraint, was cogent, clear cut
and uniform, displaying general APP
probation of it's multitudinous short
comings. The war waste naturally at
tracted the most attention, and the
number of indictments set forth by
the contestants indicate how thorough
ly this phase of the present issue is
understood in all it's 1amentable de-
tails.
The peace treaty, the high cost of
living, labor and industry, national
economy, railroads, taxation, immi-
grafton, merchant marine, civil service
social welfare, military training, were
treated at varying length, according
to their. Importance to the individual
contestants, but in the greater mum.
Der of manuscripts there was evinced
soundness Of judgment and ma
turity Of thought which, in view OF
the age limit, was most encouraging.
The winners Of the prizes are uni
versity men, logical circumstance
rather than coincidence. They are
men who have specialized in political
economic and sociological study, and
naturally entered the contest with edu.
cational advantages not possessed by
