Enough To Get Home.

Herando Cortez. the lad that took
hoatozuma's maih lej and his cOun
try and his life away from him back
in the sixteenth century. was hard
boiled guy. From the time he Crashed"
his way into his first bull fight By
carrying water for the horses, he was
always inviting Old Man Troubles

neighbors used to say: That Henri
Cortez is a reckless young Teller. Mark

But Hernie used 10 get by with H.
His motto used to be: II don't know
where I'm goin' and don't care when

how he did 1t until they discovered
that Cortez always had an ace In the
hole. He always had something saved
up and ready for use when necessity
demanded.

Money Due for Stock in Scale Co.

Money Due for Stock in Scale Co. !
Those who have subscribed for
stock in the Community Scale com
pany, should make payments immedi-
ately. Fred Murphy, the secretary of
the company requests that the mon
ey for the stockssbe in the bank on
or before August 10. The farmers
will soon be bringing their produce to
market and arrangements must be
made very soon If. the scales are to
be installed this fall. Every farmer
who has not already taken stock in
the company should do so at once.
For years the farmers in this vicinity
have felt that there should be COM
munity scale in Princeton. If they
now want this scale, they can get it..
Odin Odegard and C. H. Nelson have
interviewed practically, all the bust
ness men in tou'n, asking them to
subscribe for stock in the scale. All
the men are apparently willing to CO.
operate with the farmers in this prof.
ect and practically every man inter-
viewed agreed, to- take some stock.
Do not neglect to make your pay
ments within theTnext week. The Of
icials Of the company must know just
how much money will be available.

EVERYONE INVITED.
The Farmers and Their Families and
=. All Residents of Princeton
Invited to Picnic.

For some time the members of the
farm bureau units adjacent to Prince
ton have discussed plans for COM
munity picnic. It is planned to hold
the picnic at the fair grounds on
August IA. Everyone is invited to
this picnic, all the farmers and their
families living in the townships ad-
jacent to Princeton and all the resi-
dents of the town. Hundreds of far
mers who do not live in Mile Laos
county market their produce here, so
many of their interests are really CEN
tered in Princeton. A cordial invita-
ton is extended to these residents of
Sherburne, Isanti and Benton counties
and, of course, everyone in Mile Laos
county is invited.
Arrangements for the picnic will be
under the joint management Of the
Farm Bureau association and the Com
mercial club of Princeton. County
Agent Hammargren is making pro-
vision for an excellent program. Ac-
cording to the present plans it will
be basket dinner. Everyone is urged
to make arrangements now to be
present at the picnic It will be we'll
for all of us to meet together, become
acquainted with the new members of
the communicated see all of our old
friends.

DR.. Bridgman Eighty Years Old.

LII. brldgman Eighty Years Old.
On last Tuesday, DR.. George H.
Bridgman, president emeritus of Ham,
line University celebrated his eigh-
tleth birthday. DR.. Bridgman is a
prominent figure in the Methodist
church but he is better known as an
educator. In 1873 he was elected pres
ident Of Gencssee Wesleyan seminary
at Lima, New York. In 1883 he was
called from that institution to Mime
sofa to become president of strug-
CLING little college known as Hamline.
From this infant college DR.. Bridg-
man built the Hamline of today, which
is recognized as one of the best edu-
cational institutions in Minnesota.
Much credit for whatever Hamline
may achieve in the future rests with
DR.. Bridgman for he laid a. substan-
tlal foundation on which others may
build.
DIR. Bridgman has always Travelled
extensively and in about two weeks
accompanied by Mrs. Bridgman, hi
leaves for his seventh trip abroad. HI
wlll<represent Minneapolis at the ecu
menlcal conference OF the, Methods
churches Of the world in London. 49,.

Speeding on Paved HIGHWAYS.

The St. Cloud Times, referring to
recent enforcement by Anoka authori-
ties of the speed regulations on the,
Minneapolis-St. Cloud paved highway,
declares that, instead of criticism,
there should be commentator of the
measures taken to make that much
Travelled road safe for all who use it.
The Times, Of course, is entirely
right. The paved highways invite to
speed, and some motorists find the in
vitation hard to resist. But the
chance Of accident is always great
and it is much greater when, as on
Sundays, the travel is heavy.
If motorist travelling in the dead
of night or early morning, with a
clear, road ahead of him, wants. to-
take the chance Of high speed, he en-
dangers no one but himself and his
passengers. But on road with
streams of traffic passing continually
he must in justice to his fellow travel
ers adjust himself to the speed at
which traffic is moving. Opportuni-
ties will come to pass with safety
cars that are dallying along too slow
ly. But, in the main, he must be
satisfied with the twenty to twenty
five miles the traffic is making.
Unless motorists use due caution
and judgment on the paved highways
it will be necessary to enforce the reg
ulations with severity. The county
authorities, in the absence of state
constables, will doubtless undertake
this necessary task, as those in Anoka
have done.-Minneapolis Journal. =

Village Council Meets.

- The village council met in regular
session last night with all members
present except Jones, who is out of
town.
Arrangements were made to proceed
with work on the streets and the cut
tiro Of weeds in the village-to make
a thorough clean up.
Bill Thomas was sworn in as tenn
porary marshal during the absence OF
Fred Young who is up in the lake
country assisting Sheriff Shockley in
ousting Indians from farmers lands.
The matter of supplying wood for
the tourists camping park was talked
over and a further supply has been
sent over. Councilman Newton stated
that couple Of cords were placed
there few weeks ago, but the tour
lists were so numerous that it lasted
but short time. An effort will be
made in the future to keep a supply
there.
The auditing and allowance of bills
concluded the work of the session.

A. PLEASING LAWN PARTY.
American Legion Auxiliary Entertains
at Bowery Dance and
Lawn Festival.

The members of the American le-
glon auxiliary last Thursday evening
entertained at a. bowery dance and
lawn festival on the public square op-
posite I. H. Caley's residence. A
platform 40 by 60 feet had been erect
ed for the dancers. This was banked
with pine trees and Illuminated bv
Japanese lanterns, presenting a MOST
attractive appearance. Ice cream and
cake were served at a number of tables
grouped in front Of the platform. The
whole setting was almost perfect and
many guests were OF the opinion that
it was the prettiest affair ever staged
in the open in Princeton.
Caley's orchestra consisting of Mrs
Peter Schmidt, Joe Kalihcr, John Berg
Charles Townsend and Bill Galley,
furnished the music for the dancing.
More than two hundred people partici-
pated in this feature of the entertain
ment, which included everything from
the old-fashioned quadrilles to the
latest dances. -.
Many people from the surrounding
country and neighboring towns, Mil
AGA, Foreston, Zimmerman and Elk
River, were present at the entertain
ment. Approximately $11O was taken
in on the refreshments and $45 on the
dancing.
The Princeton band made it's first
appearance this season and played
several selections which were much
appreciated.
The auxiliary feels greatly indebted
to the members of the legion and other
friends who aided 50 materially in
making the party a success. The
Galley Lumber company loaned the
lumber for the platform and made
provisions for securing the boughs and
pine trees used in the decorations
Paul Lindgren assisted by Billy Galley
arranged the electrical connections 70,

~ LEE-TOWNLEY DEBATE. =
Rudolph Lee, Editor Of Long Prairie
r." Leader, Accepts Challenge to
Debate A. C. Townley.

As is we'll known, Long Prairie
gave the Townley-Langer debating
team a serious jolt when the residents
of that town insisted that any per-
formance~ staged there be absolutely
free. AS result of this strategic
move of the public-spirited citizens of
that village, Townley and LANCER did
not debate in Long Prairie.
Now the sequel to the affair is being
enacted. Editor Hicks of the nom
partisan paper in Long Prairie, the
Tribune, has issued challenge to
Rudolph Lee, editor of the Long Prai-
RE Leader, to debate with Townley
the merits of the nonpartisan league.
Mr.. Lee promptly accepted the chal-
lenge under the following conditions:
/. The subject to be "On it's record,
the farmers of Minnesota ought Ito
join the nonpartisan league"
2. The debate to take place at the
county fair this year on whatever day
is convenient for Mr.. Townley and
the fair.
g.. Mr.. Townley's signed acceptance
to be received by me not later than
August 1, 1921.
4. Mr.. Townley to appear in per-
son, the debate to be cancelled in case
substitute is sent.
Editor Hicks then asked Mr.. Lee to
Withdraw his fourth condition because
he states that possible Mr.. Townley
cannot appearsat that time as he may
then be serving his 90-day sentence in
Jail. Rudolph Lee 7eplied to Mr..
Hicks as follows:
When you issued your challenge in
behalf of Mr.. Townley and suggested
that the debate be held at the county
fair, both you and Mr.. Townley knew
as much about Mr.. Townley's time
and engagements as you know now
when the debate challenge has been
promptly accepted. Mr.. Townley can
be in Long Prairie during the county
fair if he really wants to be here. I
refuse to waive article 4. The people,
I am sure, will not accept such lame
excuse on the part of yourself and
Mr., Townley to try and crawl out of
the debate.
1t will be interesting to follow this
affair and note the next move of the
Hicks Townley combination. The
Union will endeavor to keep it's read
ers informed on the subject.
