The League of Women Voters.

On Monday night, in DR.. Cooney's
office, temporary county o=ganiza-
aion Of the League Of Women Voters
was effected. - ~-.-
There were something like 40 ladies
present and Mrs. Annabel Coe of Min
neapolis, state chairman of the league,
addressed the gathering, setting forth
in lucid manner the purposes for
which the organization was formed
and the course which should be pur-
sued by, enfr:nchised women. The
meeting, which was not in anyway
bipartisan, was the beginning, in this
county, of an educative course for
women who are given the right to ex-
press themselves through the medium
Of the ballot. The aim of these women
IS to build a better world for their
neighbors or their posterity, and they
will doubtless in the course of time
accomplish this purpose.
American citizenship, protection of
women in industry, child welfare, i'm
provement in election laws and meth
DDS, social hygiene, unifcation of laws
concerning the social status of women.
food supply and research are amonv
the matters which will receive atten-
ton.
Mrs. H. c. Cconey was elected tenn
porary chairman Of the county league
and appointed The following chairmen
of committees: Mrs. J. F. Peterson,
invitation; Mrs. R. c. Dunn, publicity;
Mrs. G. R. Galley, program; Mrs. Win
Davis, entertainment. Township
chairmcn will also be appointed in due
course Of time, and the several chair
men will constitute the county board.
The next meeting of this league will
be held in June, wien it will be perma-
nently organized and program cover
ing all matters pertaining thereto
presented and put into force. Fol-
lowing permanent organization the
county league will become part of the
state League of Women Voters, which
is also part of the national body.
It is well to state that the League
of Women Voters is political but not
partisan. It's members are as free as
other women to join and vote with the
party Of their choice. Their only OBJ
legation is to support the program of
the league, which aims to bring the
laws and the practices of every state
up to the highest standard.

Cedar Bank Robbed.

Four bandits broke into the Far.
mers' State bank at Cedar early YES
terday morning and carried away
Liberty bonds valued at several
thousand dollars The men first en-
tered Chas. Tokens blacksmith shop
and Mr.. Loken, who sleeps in a rear
room, was awakened by the noise.
Loken awakened a ne1ghbor, Elmer
Miller, and they spread an alarm
throughout the village. Armed men
soon arrived at the bank and hid in
the weeds near by. They heard the
burglars blow the safety deposit vault
and rip open the boxes, and when they
saw an acetylene torch directed at the
combination of the strong box they
began to shoot. The robbers returned
the fire and rushed out of the build
ing, entering an automobile some dis
lance away and speeding toward Rum
river. They were pursued by armed
men in cars and when about four
miles from Cedar the bandits car be-
came stalled in the mud and they es-
capped on foot.
Later four men, armed with As
caliber automatics, Mere captured in
Chas. McGill's barn, where they were
hiding in the hay, and taken to the
jail at Anoka. They denied all
knowledge Of the burglary.

Library Consolidation.

At the meeting of the library board
held on Monday of last week it was
voted to combine the public library
with the school library, the school
board having agreed to supply the
room, heat, light, janitor service and
part of the librarians salary. This will
be big saving to the community, as
unnecessary duplication of books and
magazines can be avoided and one
librarian will serve fer both the GEN
eral public and the school. We will
also have,a stronger and better library
for all purposes, and the small incon-
venlence suffered by the general public
in having the library removed some
what from the center of town will
more than be counterbalanced by the
added advantages afforded the school
children, who, after all, should be our
principal consideration in such mat
tiers.
The library will be moved as soon
as the proper shelving can be placed
IN the library room, which is in the
high school end of the building. AS
soon as the library is in the new
quarters, which it will likely be some
time next week, it will be open for the
circulation of books from to every
afternoon IN the housekeeping Sat-
urday and Sunday and one evening,
probably Thursday, from 7 to 9.

teen-mlle connecting link from there
to the Crow Wing county line. I'M
mediately the lake country arose in a
body and denounced this alleged policy
of the board as being unfair and a
breach of faith. A large delegation of
lake people, together with indignant
citizens from all parts of the county,
protested to the board at their annual
meeting on January 6, 1920, and in
sisted that the board go on with the
Scenic to the north county line. After
considerable discussion of the whole
matter it came to light that it was
not the intention of the board to
abandon the north seventeen miles Of
the Scenic, but it was their intention to
tell the voters fully and fairly the
financial difficulties they were already
in, and to get an expression of public
sentiment before attempting to go on
with the extension this year. On Feb
ruary 10 a special meeting Of the board
was held, Mr.. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, being present, and the
whole situation was thoroughly and
carefully gone over with the final re-
suit that the board unanimously de-
cided to put through this seventeen
mile extension this year.
AS we all know the Scenic is the
main north and south road of the
county and directly or indirectly is
benefit to every taxpayer in the coun-
ty. A goodly share of the money that
has gone into it has come from the
state of Minnesota and the federal
government and the balance come from
direct taxation in the county ITO put
through this main proposition meant
considerable sacrifice of other smaller
projects, and it is true that some work
on the side roads and branch roads
that should have been done had to be
laid aside temporarily to let the big
job go through. This was the policy
of the board in 1918 and 1919 and must
necessarily be it's policy in 1920. When
the big job is finished the board will
then concentrate on the smaller prof.
ects and build up the side and branch
roads leading into the Scenic. mas
much as this work is already two years
behind, and will get still further be-
hind this year owing to the final COM
pletlon and concentration on the Seem
lc, there will be period of the next
three to five years when Mile Laos
county will have to spend every avail-
able cent of money on the side and
branch roads. This extensive road
program, vital to- every resident of
Mile Laos county, and especially to
the people of the lake country, is now
badly hindered and ha1npered by a.
county seat scrap and with the further
possibility that the taxpayers may
soon be called upon to assume a new
and heuvy load of taxation to build anil
and palatial court house at
Milaca. Wouldn't it be wiser to first |
finish the big road work still ahead of |
US for the next three to five years
before taking on this other big Job? !!

Prof. Prices Lecture

Those who missed the opportunity
OF hearing Prof. Richard Price last
Thursday evening at the high school
auditorium suffered real deprivation.
His lecture on Individual Efficiency
was scholarly discourse but was
couched in such simple language that
even the youngest in the audience
could understand and appreciate it..
Prof. Price is witty and his humor-
Gus remarks, scattered plentifully
through the address, kept his subject
from ever becoming dry and tedious.
Princeton, as well as any other COM
munlty, is the better for just such lee
lures. They stimulate those who are
fortunate enough to hear them to
make more Of their lives, and encour-

Judge c. A. Nye, who served with
distinction as major in the American
expeditionary forces in France, pre-
sided at this term of court and his
Princeton friends were much pleased
to again meet and greet him. Judge
Nye is a man who makes. friends
wherever he goes in consequence of
his fair and square court decisions.
He IS an experienced jurist and most
pleasant gentleman.
Mile Laos county made no mistake
when it elected W. C. Doane as it's at
torney, for he has fully proven his
ability to handle the many cases
some of them particularly complex
incumbent upon his official duties.
BILLY" is at all time accommodating
and attends strictly to the work re-
qulred of him by the county.
