Worlds Largest Light
to Flash At Golden Gate

A one-half-billion candle-power
searchlight, the most powerful Ia the
world. whose rays can be seen for 70
miles. just has been received at San
Francisco, where it will be installed
on Mount Tamalpais, at the entrance
to the Golden Gate.
The light is 10 feet high, weighs
nearly three tons and has a 60-inch
lens. A man standing 10 miles from
the light could read newspaper. Ten
feet away he would be able to light q
cigar by means Of it. A citizens COM
mittee Of San Francisco is arranging
for the searchlight, which will shoot
its rays out across the Pacific ocean
and give the first indication to incom-
ing steamships that land is near.
w. d. A. Ryan, the Illuminating en-
gineer who lighted the Panama Pa
cific International Exposition, first
suggested the use of the light to stand
as sentinel at the Golden Gate.

Burning Corn in Iowa:

Arthur Van Wormer is home from
Gilman, Iowa, where he is employed
in newspaper office, for the holidays.
Van says that the farmers Of Iowa are
burning large quantities of corn for
fuel. At the court house Of the coun-
ty where he is working 10000 bushels
of corn were recently delivered for
fuel. Farmers, who are largely rent
ers, are in poor circumstances, cannot
sell their corn even at rs cents a
bushel, and the county authorities de-
cided to purchase corn for fuel to af-
ford the farmers a little ready cash.
There are auction sales almost every
day in the week, says Van. The ma
jority of the farmers are unable to
pay their rent and consequently are
compelled to sell their personal eff
fects. T. .E.js .ss#.r SlGs ,,.c..<~~. y, !

Mercury VS.. High School.

The quint Of the Mercury Athletic
club played the basketeers of the high
school in the gymnasium last Friday
night, but, in consequence of inclement
weather, there was poor attendance.
This was the first game the Mercury
team had played and the high school
boys proved the best manipulators of
the ball and carried off the honors in
a score of 16 to 9. However, the main
feature Of the contest was the playing
Of Milton Nygren of the Mercury

DICTIONARIES, HURRY UP!
Those of You Who Are Entitled to q
Bonus See That You File Claims
Not Later Than Dec. 81.


Minnesota's fund to pay soldiers
bonus claims is still ample to meet all
demands upon it, state officials say,
despite the ruling of the supreme court
last Friday which legalized between
800 and 400 claims previously reject
ed by the board. Only few hundred
claims remain to be settled and the
time for filing expires next Saturday,
December 81. After that date all
claims will be barred. So, you local
legionaires who have bonuses COM
ing, hurry up. See Post Commander
Sydney Berggren at once and get into
line even if it is on the last day for
filing. You are entitled to your bonus
and you will get it if you lose no time
in making application.
The balance in the fund is over
100000. Claims paid have averaged
about 5000 each, and even if the re-
naming claims run higher, say state
officials disbursing the bonus fund,
there should be enough money in the
treasury to pay 1900 claims.
J. A. O'Gordon, executive secretary
of the bonus board, says that more
than 100000 service men whose resi-
dence was Minnesota at the time they
went into the war have received bonus
payments at the rate of SIS month
for the time they wei: in the service.
Only claims recently filed or held up
in court remain to be paid.
The bonus board was reversed n the
supreme court decision filed Friday.
This case involved men who married
after the draft law went into effect
May 10, 1917, and claimed exemption
on that ground. Those who were put
in class 1 and indicted into service
were denied claims by the bonus board,
but the supreme court held that there
was no showing of violation or evasion
of the law in such cases. There are
said to be more than 800 affected by
this decision.

NEEDY REMEMBERED.
Charitable People, Through Medium
of Civic Betterment Club, Dis
pense Christmas Cheer.

Princeton, in common with most
communities, finds tina; this winter it
has an unusual number Of needy peo-
pie. This is mainly due to the general
financial condition.
Several kindly disposed persons
were undertaking to provide Christ
mas baskets for individual families,
but the need Of actual necessities was
SO great that it was deemed advisable
to have some organization assume the
responsibility of investigating the
needs and Of systematizing the collec-
ton and distribution Of supplies. The
Civic Betterment club always stands
ready to sponsor any such enterprise
so the matter was turned over to that
organization.
Princeton, as usual in such cases, re-
sponded generously when the appeal
was made. Aside from the contribu-
tons sent directly to the rest room,
which was used as central distribut-
ing point, about $35 was collected.
The contributions consisted not only
of food but Of clothing, toys, candy
and nuts. The money collected was
used for the purchase of staple gro
ceries only The few delicacies which
found their way into some of the bas-
kets were contributions. Among
other contributions was a generous
box of cookies and cakes from the
school in district 5. The contents of
the baskets, which were sent to 18
families, were varied according to the
needs.
There are still many calls for chill
dren's clothing, and anyone having
any to spare is requested to send it to
the charity closet at the rest room.
Organized charity work is much
more effective than individual efforts
along this line. When the needs are
properly investigated, the supplies
centralized and the work systematized
help can be given much more promptly
and effectually.
The Civic Betterment club stands
ready to do anything in it's power when
cases are reported.

he hoped in the future the Masons and
the members of the church would
come to see that their aims and ideals
were the same and would work to-
gether harmoniously to accomplish
their purposes.
After the lodge had been adjourned
the members and their friends re-
NAMED to enjoy social evening. Sup
per was served and dancing followed.

present we're Dr.. and Mrs. L. E. o.

THE POTATO MARKET.
Prices Advance Ten Cents Per Hun.
dredweight With a Particu-

larly Slow Movement.
The Princeton potato market is
somewhat stronger, quotations for all
varieties with the exception of Ohios
being 10 cents per cwt. higher than
the prevailing prices last Thursday.
The big central markets are, of course,
also stifening up and there is not
much likelihood of another slump in
price this season-in fact indications
point to an increase and a much firmer
market.
Outside demand, however, is far
from being strong, and local buyers
do not feel inclined to ship at this
time as they would do so at loss even
with the advance noted.
The movement from the farmer to
the warehouses is particularly slow
and there are virtually no shipments.
With the arrival of the new year,
however, it is not unlikely that the
market will take on considerable ac-
tivity, both locally and at the big re-
ceiving centers.

For the second time in a few months

owned by the late A. H. Turrittin.
Mr.. Magnuson had been in the real es-

Of years. Previous to the disposal of
the major portion of the stock to A.
H. Turritin Carl Sholin was president

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind
Ring out the false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the>love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out the old shapes of foul disease:
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand:
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

In a Particularly Good Game of Bas-

Score of Is to II. go.
MERCURY QUINT DEFEATED
High School Squad Proves Superior
to the Newly Organized
Athletic Club Team.

Several weeks ago when Ogilvie
opened the basketball season here,
Princeton was lucky enough to receive
only mild defeat. Only poor shoot
ing on the part Of the visitors saved
the legion team from being complet-
ly swamped. In Mondays game,
which showed complete reversal of
form, Princeton handed Ogilvie a
liberal beating as a belated Christ
mas gift.
Only in foul shooting did the visi-
tors have the edge on the legion team,
Anderson caging seven out of IL
while Busch and Herdliska were drop
ping in three out of II tries. In team
work and goal shooting the legionaires
showed distinct superiority.
The floor work Of George Maggart
was the individual feature of the
game. While throwing only three has
kets, his ability to keep clear of his
guard enabled him to advance the
ball consistently.
Rev. Besselievre refereed, repeating
his excellent work of the former game.
Always on top Of the play, calling
the fouls imparti&lly and closely, his
work is a refreshing contrast to much
Of that seen on the local floor in the
past:
The one big weakness of the local
team is the lack Of consistent foul
shooter. Enough have been missed in
the two games to win an ordinary
series. When this is remedied they
can undoubtedly show their numbers:
to the great majority of their oppon--
ents.
The score was rs to II in favor of
the legion quint. The line up:
