Launch Many Projects.
Among the 81 widely distributed
projects on the big construction pro-
gram announced ny C. M. Babcock,
state highway commissioner, to con-
tinue operations on large scale
throughout the winter in order to re-
lieve unemployment, are the follow

Elk River and Zimmerman, at an
estimated cost of $23,50O; gravel sur
facing 8 miles on trunk highway IS,
between Bennetsville, Aitkin county,
and Mile Laos lake, at an estimated
cost of $4,000. y. -
Immediately upon favorable action
by congress the, Minnesota highway
department, under the commissioners
orders, began to rush plans to start
the "more work better roads" move
ment. Calls for bids November %
and 29-the earliest possible date I'M
der the state law--were issued on rs
miles Of paving and 274 miles=of. gray

O00., The; projects are widely distrib-
uted to spread both work and road
~
bridge work and special team jobs are
to follow soon, according to J. H. Null
len, assistant commissioner and chief
engineer. The tentative plan is. to use
about 81 800 900 on highway work this
winter. Successful bidders are to be
announced promptly that applications

Thieves Steal Clover Seed.

Early Saturday morning robbers
entered the granary Of Dave johnson
and carried off six bushels Of Aclover
seed. They also stole a like amount
from the granary Of Albert Hoehn at
about the same time. Johnson and
Hoehn had their clover threshed the
day previous on the latter's farm,
johnson taking his seed to his home
about half mile distant 1t would
seem that the thieves had kept tab on
the threshing operations and sneaked
in just. after the work was completed
Mr.. Hoehn says that the robbers are
known.

BRUSH, MAGICIAN,
HERE NEXT WEEK
One of the Cleverest Prestidigitators in
United States to Appear in
Lyceum Course.
MAGNETIC AND PLEASING
His Fascinating Tricks Make Per.
Torrance Unique and Partic-
ularly Interesting.

Next Wednesday evening the Prince
ton public will be afforded the >eppor-
tunity Of seeing in action one of the
finest magicians in America. Edwin
Brush, who has been on the platform
as magician for about 20 years and
is lauded wherever he puts on per-
Torrance, will appear for the second
number of the lyceum course. -,
The small towns of the state are
able to enjoy these wonderful enter
tainments only because the University
|of Minnesota has secured the services
of this celebrated magician for them.
The city of Rochester, buying Brush's
entertainment Independently, paid $3.50
for one nights performance.
Those whoshave already had his en-
|tertainment" on their Iyceum course
tell us that Brush cannot be too high
.ly advertised. They say his PERSONAL
ty is pleasing and magnetic, and that
his consu1mmate mastery Of his art
combined with the suave manner in
which he perpetrates his clever and
fascinating receptions upon the audi
ence makes his performance most
unique and altogether interesting.
Some of his tricks are clever to the
point of being uncanny while others
provoke. roars of laughter.
The committee from the Civic Bet
terment club felt justified in paying
the unusual fee necessary to obtain
this number for the course, as the club
Twas thereby securing an entertain
ment of novelty and charm as we'll as
one Of undoubted educational value.
1t is, withal, a clean, wholesome en-.
tertainment which will be absolutely
interesting to both the children and
the grownups, and one which every
one should endeaver to see.

RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP.
Membership Campaign Starts on Arm.
istice Day; Home Organiza-
ton Needs Support.

1suce Lay; Home Ofganlza-
ton Needs Support.
The annual Red Cross membership
campaign will be initiated in Prince
ton on Armistice day. Many demands
are being made at this season of the
year but we all know that no organiza-
ton can operate without. funds. So if
we are to have a Salvation army and
Red Cross, we must support them.
The Red Cross membership fee is
ST. The old slogan, "all you need is
a dollar and a heart" tells the whole
story and it is not at all probable that
the citizens of Princeton need to be
urged to respond to the appeal this
year.
Fifty cents of every dollar goes to
the Red Cross main office to be de-
posted in a relief fund. Money is
drawn from this fund to furnish relief
when some big disaster occurs as the
forest fires in 1918 or the Fergus Falls
cyclone. From this fund at present
there is also being drawn money to
support the Red Cross workers in the
army hospitals in the twin cities. The
other fifty cents goes into the county
Red Cross fund.
During the past year Mile Laos
county has supported a Red Cross
nurse, Miss Leah Barskey, who has de-
voted all her time to work in this
county. Miss Barskey has been a
most efficient worker and the people
Of Mile Laos county should be proud
of the record she has made in the past
twelve months. In giving a dollar to
the Red Cross, it should be remem-
bered that half Of that amount will be
spent right here in the county in sup
porting Miss Barskey in her work.
During the past year our county
nurse has conducted an examination
of the children in all the schools in the
county and has made her second visit
to IL of the schools. She has taken
IA children to Minneapolis to receive
free medical treatment at the Uni
versity dispensary and five of these
children were placed in the hospital.
One crippled child was taken to the
Phalen Park hospital and is now being
treated by specialist who is attempt
ing to straighten her limbs. Miss
Barskey has organized the Child We'll
fare board, has taught nursing classes
in three women's clubs in the lake dis.
trict, assisted in the organization OF
the parents and teachers association
at Wahkon, has made arrangements
for building two children's clinics anc
has made calls at hundreds of homes
in the, county where there are children
who might need medical attention
Surely our county nurse has been bus,
and as long as there is work for he1
we want to keep her.
Miss Barskey has been reappointet
for next year.

SALVATION ARMY APPEAL.
Campaign of Salvation Army to Raise
Funds for Ensuing Year Will
Begin Next Week

Funds for Ensuing Year Will
Begin Next Week,
The Salvation army has discontin-
ued the practice Of having representa-
tives in the field soliciting money dur
ing twelve months Of sthe year. It has
been found more satisfactory for the
public to confine all soliciting in a
community to a certain: fixed period
OF time. A quota>:is assigned to each
county and representatives of the
state organization acting with the
local advisory board select the time
for the campaign in each community.
Mile Laos county's quota has been
set at $1,000 and divided as follows:
Southern district, Princeton, $3.50;
central district, Milaca, Fofeston and
Book, $500; northern district, Onamia,
Wahkon and Isle, $3.50. Next Tues
day, November Is, the campaign will
open in Princeton, the soliciting teams
being made up of high school teachers
and members Of the American legion
and the spirit so far exhibited by
the people of Princeton assures the
success of the drive.
- All the money collected in these
campaigns will be expended under. the
supervision Of the state and county
advisory boards. The counties and
smaller cities and villages, working
through their advisory boards, can
Utilize all of the existing machinery
of the Salvation army. That organi-
cation will respond with the best of it's
ability to any call for help coming
within the realm Of it's service. Olof
Wasenius is president of the Mile
Laos county advisory board. At the
present time over 10000 business and
professional men are serving as mem
bers of such boards These men have
studied the Salvation army thoroughly
and are ready to back it to the limit.
During periods of depression and
while unemployment is general as at
the present time the demands upon
the Salvation army for relief are
greater than during times of prosperi-
IT,: It is hoped everyone will respond
as generously as his circumstances
will permit. Remember the Salvation
army goes where no other Zorganiza-
ton works and its slogan IS A man
may BE down but he is never out. 2 s

and during the last five months of her
life she was entirely helpless. To her
death came, indeed, as a. deliverer
During her long illness she was ten
derby cared for by her daughter, at
whose home she died.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
N. A. Almer Of Princeton, were held

number of neighbors and friends more
than filled the church. A choir from
the Swedish Lutheran church of

pnixn OF this kind be launched In
West Texas now. With one OF the
largest feed crops that West Texas
has ever produced, with her ranges
In good condition, and with the farm
ers anxious for some means OF con-
verting these valuable assets into a
cash product, a campaign that viii
encourage the production Of dairy
products, hogs and poultry should be
not only appropriate but highly &C
ceptable. One of the objects Of the
campaign will be TO interest the farm
ers of the West In securing better
dairy cattle, hogs and poultry.
Mr.. French has lately returned
from an extensive visit to Omaha and
Kansas City and has learned some
very interesting things regarding the
methods Of distributing feeder hogs
in that section. Although II is not
expected that any large number Of
hogs or cattle will be distributed as
a result Of the activities of this cam
paign. II is believed that the Western
farmers will be stimulated to giving
some thought and attention to the
possibilities of their section from this
standpoint.
