secured for the county fair. There
were the Gordons and Kangaroo, "Big
Bob," the RAINBOW Trio, Flying Val
entinos, and last, but not least, the
Flying Circus, in which Lieut., Lara
bee gave two aerial exhibitions daily
and raced with a hydroplane.
Then there were the night attrac-
lions on Tuesday and Wednesday,
which included ''The Battle of Verdun''
in pyrotechnics- very realistic pro-
duction-and "The World in Rota-
tion," also a pyrotechnic display.
A whirligig (merry-go-round), many
refreshment booths and the usual quo
ia of games of chance were in evil
dence.
The Princeton and Milaca bands
furnished excellent music.

Legion Officers Elected.

At the annual state convention of
the American legion at Duluth last
week the following officers were elect
ed:
State Commander, A. H. Vernon
Little Falls; first vice commander
Joyce Lewis, Long Prairie; second
vice commander, Miss Florence Mac
namara, Minneapolis; third vice COM
mander, E. A. Walsh, Minneapolis;
chaplain, Rev. VIM. Harrington, St.
Paul; national committeeman, DR.. A.
A. Van Dyke, St. Paul; delegates at
large to the national convention, John
Bowe, Candy; George Leach, Mime
apolis; Ivan Bowen, Mankato; A. H.
Vernon and DR.. Van Dyke.
A. H. Vernon, commander, was a
first lieutenant in the Eighth United
States infantry and served II months
in the army
Miss Mcnamara, second vice com
mander, was a Red Cross nurse in
France and was in Paris during the
last bombardment of that city by the
Germans.
John Bowe, one of the delegates
elected to the national convention
fought as a member of the French
legion during the war and is still a
member of that world famed organiza-
ton. For bravery in action John was
awarded five medals. When Germany
declared war against France he left
his business at Candy, where he was
mayor Of the town, hurried to France,
enlisted and was assigned to hand
grenade contingent, with which he re-
manned until the hostilities ceased
when he returned to America. During
the Spanish-American war he was a
soldier in the United States army.
John Bowe was born on the Scotch
English border, but French blood pre-
dominates in his veins. He is man
who would rather be hurting hand
grenades in defense of his country
than be president of the United States.

PrOfteering?

History shows that when there has
been an increase Of, say 1 per cent, in
wages or any other fundamental cost
of doing business, it has often been the
signal for perhaps 10 or 20 per cent
increase in the price to the consumer of
the commodity affected. The consum-
ers individually have protested, but, as
class, they have not had an effective
champion Of their cause, as they now
appear to possess in the economist
representing the railroad labor orga-
nizations, who says that the railroad
rate increases ought to be absorbed
otherwise than by the public. Of
course there are those who think other
wise, but both sides now have the OPP
portunity of bringing their arguments
and proofs into the open for every one
to see.-Christian Science Monitor.

On Tuesday Ida May Jones, Agnes
Jones and Clara Betz1er of district 4

in the school exhibit department and
displayed considerable skill in mixing
the dough, etc. Whosoever is fortu-
nate enough to secure either of these
girls for a wife will have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that she knows how
to make good bread and is, in addition
an all-around cook. Miss Ida May
Schmidt tells us that these girls are
among the best cooks in the country
and she is fully qualified to Judge.

Harmonizing the Factions.

That Jake Preus, the republican can
didate, will soon have the few warning
forces in his party perfectly harmon
lied is more than a prediction. He is
bringing the boys together every day
and his ability in this line is not with
out benefit to the entire state and ma
tional ticket. Jake is a most COM
panionablc sort of a fellow end he i'm
proves with acquaintance. Calls on
his time for speaking dates and con-
ferences are now in excess of the time
available, but he intends to answer
every one of them if possible. While
the average candidate is content to
leave campaign details to his commit
tee, Jake insists on being in constant
touch with all matters concerning the
campaign and in consequence is a very
busy man. Handling the big job OF
state auditor and leading his party to
victory is no easy task, but Jake Preus
seems to be getting away with both.

Vegetables, Etc.

In consequence Of the drought it was
expected that vegetable displays would
fall below the average, but this was
disproven by the exceptionally large
number of exhibits entered. Early
[potatoes were Of excellent quality
the finest ever placed on exhibition
here; carrots, cabbage and the thous-
and and one vegetables which went
to make up the extensive exhibition
were far above the average in both
quality and quantity and the farm
garden and market garden collections
were exceptionally good. Bob Clark
entered the only exhibit in the latter
class, and everyone knows that he is
/ the king Of gardeners in this part of
the country. J. c. Thompson was SUI
perintendent of this department.

to the Russian-Polish situation while
France is taking another and President
Wilson still another. Is there any
certainty that they would be any near
er an agreement if we were actually
a membei: of the league? Is it not
ridiculous to assume, as the democratic
candidate for the vice presidency does,
that the very fact that we were a
member Of the ,ague would have pre-
vented the difficulties which now ex-
list?
In this connection it is pertinent to
ask what :ction the league took to
prevent the invasion CT Russia by
Poland, the charter member Of the
league, and what action if any did it
take as an organization to protect the
boundaries of Poland in the counter
attack by Russia which is now pro-
ceeding? If we were member of the
league would we not be bound to send
men and supplies to Poland? Indeed,
is it not almost certainty that we
would today have troops engaged in
that war?
In the minds of many people if the
league of nations were in operation it
would prevent war. Without the
United States it has been in operation
for many months, and yet, there are
now being wagcd the Russian-Polish
war, the Greek-Turkish war, the seiz-
ing of territory by Japan in Siberia,
the killing of great numbers of Japa-
nese citizens by Russia and great num-
bers of Russian citizens by Japan, and
all without any regard to the league of
nations. There are serious internal
troubles in Italy and Ireland; Raisuli
is once more making trouble in Moroc-
co; and, in fact, there is not country
where match would not start con-
fagration Up to this time there is
not any public evidence that the
league of nations has had any infu-
ence whatever or has attempted to ex-
ercise any in preventing these dis
turbances.

Farmers Clubs.

There were three entries under this
head-Milo, Bogus Brook and South
Harbor- and all of them made an ex-
cellent showing. The collections in
each instance were tastefully arranged
and contained great variety of farm
products of good quality. The far
mers and their wives who placed
these collections on exhibition are de-
serving Of more than modicum of
praise for the pains taken by them to
make so excellent showing. Bogus
Brook was awarded first prize, Milo
second and South Harbor third.

Women's Department,

In the various sections Of this di-
vision there were displays far above
the average-the canned goods de-
partment, superintendent by Mrs. A.
E. Allen; the bread and pastry divi-
sion under Mrs. ]. C. Herdliska and
the needlework section under the SUI
perintendence Of Mrs. E. K. Evens,
Mrs. C. H. Nelson and Mrs. w. j.
Thomas. AS demonstrated in the ex-
hiDits the women of Mile Laos county
did themselves proud in each section
of this division.

Where Does the League Stand

AS far as he is able to be, President
Wilson is personally a member Of the
league Of nations, and the league Of
nations is in actual operation today.
Yet, in the case Of the Russian-Pol
war we can see that England, without
consultation with other members of
the league. has been furnishing Poland
with munitions; that England and TIA
ly are taking one position in regard

Fruits and Flowers.

There were especially fine displays
of fruits and flowers in Mrs. H. C.
Cooney's and Mrs. N. A. Stacey's de-
partments. Apples Of many varieties,
plums, cherries, grapes, strawberries,
ETC., were in evidence and they were
of especially good quality, and the
flower display was beautiful and of
great profusion.

every particular success,-thOusand
of people being in attendance,-in
fact greater success than any event
Of like nature in the county's history.
In bringing about this unprecedented
success we must give credit to the Of
fcers and board of directors, who not
only increased the amount Of awards
to considerable extent but formu-
lated an amusement program which
was par excellence. That the efforts
of these men were appreciated was
shown by the multitudes that daily
attended the exposition. In years
gone by much difficulty was expert
enced in obtaining attractions, and
upon several occasions persons en-
gagged for amusement features failed
to fulfill their contracts. This year,
however, it was different, although
some Of the performers did not APP
pear promptly on time in consequence
Of poor railroad connections.
Besides the directors the farmers,
their wives and families, are deserving
of much praise for taking so great an
interest in their county fair. We're
it not for these good people the fair
would amount to no more than a
mere bagatelle There was time
when the state fair was the chief at
traction for the farmer-he saved his
best exhibits for entry there. But
times have changed. He now realizes
that the annual fair of the county in
which he lives should first command
his attention-his ambition is to show
the farmers Of other counties that he
can raise better products than they
can, and he buckles down to that par
ticular task. The effort is certainly
worth while, as is demonstrated by
the remarkable success of our county
fair this. year. Many farmers, Of
course, still place exhibits at the state
fair and carry off numerous awards,
but their county fairs, as a general
rule, hold the place Of preference in
their hearts. This is the real COM
n1unity spirit.
Then, for the success Of our twenty
ninth annual fair the departmental
superintendent are entitled to no
small amount Of credit and the wealth
erman-God bless contributed
his bit.
The exhibits, with the exception Of
live stock, were entered on Saturday,
the latter arriving on Monday morn
ing. There were exceptionally fine dis
plays in all departments-bett than
any exhibited at our county fair for
many a year. Despite the drought
the vegetables and grain displayed
were Of particularly high quality,
as were also the potatoes-many Of
them raised on sandy SOIL This goes
to show that sand, especially where
there is good subsoil, retains
moisture for a long period of time.
There were no late potatoes on ex-
hibition, of course, as it is too early
in the season.
Splendid specimens Of dairy and
beef cattle we're exhibited, there being
many fullbloods among them. The
largest herd entered was that of Sam
Droogsma of Milo-16 Herefords.
Some Of these animals are as large as
umbrella Cor Abyssinian) elephants
and, we should think, weigh just as
much. Talk about beef slabs-one
can merely imagine the size of steak
these fellows would give forth.
Horses, sheep, swine and poultry of
the best breeds were also exhibited in
large number.
Amusement features presented ex-
celled in quality and variety any ever

Poultry.

The display in the poultry house
was much larger than that of last
year-in fact the entries were so nu-
merous that the cages were insufficient
to accommodate them and many were
necessarily left in the boxes in which
they were brought to the grounds.
That veteran poultry expert, William
Marsh, superintended this division.

Officers and directors of the Mile
Laos County Agricultural society
every one of them-are entitled to
praise for the efforts they put forth
to make the fair success, and results
show that they were not disappointed
in their aims. Secretary Ira G. Stan
ley is especially worthy of mention in
this respect. For months he worked
like beaver compiling the premium,
list, distributing advertising matter
and negotiating with amusement man
ayers in an endeaver to make the fail
the best ever.

Grains and Grasses.

In this department, superintended
by Robert Byers, there was an excel
lent display Of wheat, oats, rye, beans,
clover, etc., but corn, although of good
size and quality, showed the effects
of the dry weather. Last year corn
was king at the county fair.

School Opens September 6.

School will begin in Princeton on
Monday, September 6. AS that is
Labor day there will not be any regu-
lar sessions, but the pupils will be en-
rolled and thus the work started more
successfully the next day.
Some new departments have been
added to the high school. One very
important feature is the manual train
ing, woodworking and mechanical
drawing shop. Another feature is the
normal training department. This is
to be started anew this fall under the
able direction Of Mrs. Strocter.
For the young children it has been
arranged to start a real kindergarten
with specially trained teacher. All
children who are five years old or
will be five before March will be ac-
,cepted. The work will be entirely diff
ferent from the regular first grade
work and more suited to the needs of
very ysung children.
All persons who desire to take
teachers for room or board or have
rooms for rent, should inform the UNI
dersigned. An effort will be made to
find rooms for all who desire them,
and it is hoped that people will coop
crate by advising us of their needs.
Respectfully, BE. Hall.

Union Has Glorious Record.

In the year 1850 there was a gath
ering Of union printers in the city OF
New York. composed Of representa-
tives from q dozen different cities, and
the foundation was there laid tor
what was destined to become the
worlds greatest labor organisation"
From this modest little meeting the
International Typographical union
was called into being. and ever since
that time 1t has been the purpose OF
union printers to spread the gospel OF
trades unionism throughout the world.
In the early days Of its existence
the International Typographical union
met with problems that threatened its
very life. but those self-sacrihcins
pioneers of the trades union move
ment. through patient and painstaking
effort, overcame the perplexing dim
