The Holstein Breeders association
held second meeting last SATURDAY.
afternoon in Milaca to adopt a con-
stltution and bylaws. The plan of
this association is to put on an edu-
catlonal campaign showing the value
OF purebred stock. Plans were adopt-
ca to put on such a campaign and a
committee was appointed for that work.
This is county wide organization and
the members want everyone that is in
terested and is breeding the black and
whites to join. The membership fee
is $3.50 to join, Csc for each purebred
of breeding age and 15c a head for

This is a good spirit for breeders to
take. The example set by the Hol-
stein breeders should be taken up by
the breeders of the other breeds. If
you are interested see or write your
county agent at once and get in line. /.

failed to connect and Doane was next
up with the bases full. The new pitch
er had poor control, and when Nc
Carthy let one of his heaves get away
from him Mark attempted to score
but was called, out on close decision
at the plate. Doane walked, again
filling the bases, with two down. The
southpaw lost all control of the ball
at this stage and walked Berg and
Fisher, forcing Larson and Anderson
in with two more counters Doane re-
tired the side when he was called out
on an attempt to steal home. Anoka
made a sorry showing in their half of
the last round, the best, they could do
being to get one man&as far as first
base. They hurled their final desper-
ate attack at the Princeton infeld, but
were turned back scoreless by the
sharp fielding of Crow, Larson and
Galley. Final score Princeton IL, An

Greenbush Unit Meets.

The Greenbush unit of the farm
bureau met last Thursday at the home
Of Louis Normandin and it proved to
be very interesting meeting. The
attendance was large, about 40 men,
bers, with their wives and families,
being present.
N. E. Chapman, state poultry ex-
pert, gave very instructive talk,
taking up feeding, housing and GULL
ing Of fowls. He gave culling dem
onstration and was very thorough in
his explanation. He said it was the
plan of the farm bureau to put on a
drive this fall for the purpose of
culling all farm f1ocks if satisfactory
arrangements can be made.
There was a short business session
following Mr.. Chapman's remarks and
Mr.. Hammargren took up the 16 ques-
lions pertaining to legislation pub
!ished in the farm bureaua question
nairc, and these were answered.
hay Madsen, secretary OF the coun-
ty farm bureau, was present and
spoke briefly on what the organiza-
ton contemplated doing. He urged
the farmers to go in for corporation
as strongly as possible-the stronger
the better.
At the close of the meeting the
ladies served an excellent lunch on
two long tables, which were loaded
down with edibles, and all helped
themselves, cafeteria style.

Scale Meeting June %.

The village council, commercial club
and the county commissioners have all
granted everything the farmers asked
for, and now it is up to the producers
to take advantage if it and install
their own scales.
The cooperation of the business
men and potato buyers is now as
sured.
We have been promised lease on
the court house lot for scales and a
central marketing place.
Now to finish it we must Cooperate
and form company so that the coun-
ty commissioners will know who to
grant the lease to. Therefore we have
called a meeting at Princeton for the
evening of June %, at 8 p. M, in the
Odd Fellows hall. Come and bring your
friends. Let's get busy as the time is

fairly strong telescope will be needed
to see it. !
But the earth will pass through the
tail of the comet, and there may be
some interesting fireworks. And, if
anybsdy is so minded, there is re-
mote chance to worry in the mean
time, though be assured that it will
turn out in the end as most anticipa-
tory worries do: nothing comes Of
them.
The tail of comet is composed of
greatly thinned gases. These gases
may possibly be poisonous, but even
if they are they are so diluted that
they will do no harm. Besides, the at
mosphere is pretty good protection.
When meteors come, as they do con-
stantly and as they may in the tail
of this comet, the friction of the at
mosphere quickly fuses them into va
por, so that they seldom reach the
earth in solid form. They do some
times, however. Probably there will
be showers of meteors on June 27, pos
sibly quite spectacular but harmful
only through the fears of the ignorant
and superstitious.
People used to be terribly afraid of
comets, and where scientific knowl-
edge has not spread the news of their
harmlessness, people are badly scared
by them yet, as they are by anything
in nature that is out of the ordinary.
One by one the natural phenomena
that used to scare people ore being
proved harmless. The vague unrest
many people feel at the sight of such
phenomenon as comet is a subcon-
scious survival from the childhood of
the race when night and day were full
Of terrors born of ignorance.

LEACH IS VICTORIOUS.
Elected Mayor of Minneapolis by Big
Lead Despite Opposition of
ToYnley and Socialists.
Leach's Victory a Splendid Tribute to
the Men Who Voted to Shut
Out TOwnleyism.


Leach, republican, over Thomas Van
Lear, radical, in the Minneapolis
mayoralty contest is unofficially re-
ported-with returns all into be
14,787. The total vote in the 273
precincts is: Leach 1924, Van Lear
63,337. Leach's majority is the larg-
est ever given candidate for mayor
in Minneapolis, although the radicals
made a gain in the aldermanic race,
which will give them IL men on the
council as against IA anti-radicals.
The radicals have not obtained a
sufficient number Of council seats to
dictate the appointments of the city
attorney, city assessor, city engineer
and city clerk, it requiring IA votes to
elect. They can block appropriations
from the unclassifed funds and can
also block requests to the board of
estimate and taxation for bond issues,
such resolutions requiring 10 votes. 1t
requires IA votes to pass ordinances
and resolutions and to spend money
for ordinary purposes. The anti
radicals will not have sufficient
strength to sustain the mayors We
toes Of resolutions and ordinances.
The victory for George E. Leach is
not only tribute to the men and wo-
men who want none Of Townleyism,
but it is a distinct tribute to George
E. Leach himself. No man ever made
better campaign in Minneapolis than
did Colonel Leach. He fought hard
every waking hour of every day since
he was drafted to run. He carried the
fight into the enemy's own territory.
The results of that splendid fight was
indicated when the returns came in
from precincts carried by Van Lear in
the primaries. In many of these the
results of the primaries were over
turned. >~..~..
Without finching, in the face of
vigorous opposition, Colonel Leach
carried his message directly to the
people. He exposed the fallacy of
his opponents many promises, and
then he stressed the one big predomi-
nant issue. He showed what Townlev
control of Minneapolis would mean.
Unconsciously, perhaps, but never
theless plainly, the Van Lear forces
themselves helped stress the issue.
The Townley cohorts came to the Van
Lear aid. DR.. Henrik Shipstead,
Thomas V. Sullivan and others we'll
known to the Townley ranks appeared
to help Van Lear. Then, Kate Rich
ards O'Hare, next to Eugene V. Dcbs,
the leading figure in the radical social
list movement, arrived in Minneapolis
and, while there, expressed the hope
that Van Lear would be elected.

Notes.

Billy Hoke of Minneapolis umpired
the game all by himself. It was a
trying afternoon for the Jumps but
we feel as if we got our share of the
close ones. A saint couldn't satisfy
everybody in close ball game.
Fishers work with the stick puts
him in the Babe Ruth class. His bat
ting percentage for the game hit the
$50 mark. He got two home runs, a
single, and was passed twice. His
other chance at bat proved to be a
high fly to left field which lacked but
few feet of clearing the gunnysack
barrier.
Labissoniere has severed his con-
nectlon with the Manke aggregation
as he got a chance to work for Moose
Lake for more money and pitching
two games a week.
"Buck" Anderson came up from St.
Paul to hurl and made good by de-
feating the hard-hitting Anoka team
on their home grounds. The youngster
had several bad innings but weathered
the gale in good shape and will pitch
for Princeton against Lindstrom next
Sunday. He put the ball over the
fence twice and walked once out of
five trips to the plate. Some batter
for pitcher.
Princeton hit safely eighteen times.
Galley, Fisher and Doane took three
apiece. Berg, Mark and Anderson
grabbed off two for each man and
Grow, Larson and Smith each had one
to their credit: LARSON doubled against

FIRE APPARATUS |S NOW READY FOR
 FIRST ALARM

At total cost of approximately S13,000.00 Clifton can now boast of a fire fighting apparatus which should lower insurance rates and afford pro lection against a serious confagra- tion in the future.
 The new apparatus consists of one Type 75 Combination Chemical and Hose Motor car with junior pump.
 In addition to the chemical engine and 200 feet of hose, also auxiliary chemical tanks, the fire engine is equipped with 1900 feet of two and one half inch hydrant hose, and hook and ladder equipment
 The engine arrived in Clifton on Feb. 7th and MT. Geo. s. Henley, de monstrator for the American-La France Co.,, came from Los Angeles to demonstrate the engine and put it into commission. The demon slra .ion was entirely to the satisfaction .,f the members of the Town Cou,, oil and Mayor Jones, and the new fire fighting apparatGs is now ready for action at the .if st alalJn.
 The personel of the departmennt includes Town Marshal J. F. Deck, chief; Guy Hunter, engine driver and T. h. assistant driver, together with Messrs Hartman, Elliott and Coates, active volunteers, who have their sleeping quarters in the fire house.
 Eight fire alarm phone boxes will be installed in various parts of the town as follows :Chase Creek, 8; North Clifton 1; Riverside 1; Hills Addition 8. Four of these fire alarm rHI are connected by a direct wire from the fire box to the fire house. In case of fire, if there is no private telephone available for the alarm, give the alarm from the nearest fire phone box. Ring the phone and you will be answered by fireman at the fire house then give him the location of the fire. If a private phone line is used, call Central as usual and ask to be connected with the Fire Depart ment. The sub station at the works is also on the direct fire line and will give the whistle signal. Auto and vehicle drivers are cautioned to drive to the right hand side of the curb, during the fire alarm, and stop until fire engine has passed. The fire en- zine is equipped with 1O5 H. F. en- zine and in an emergency can be driven at tremendous speed.
 Water tests coducted by the demon strator in the presence of the Town Councilmen and fire department proved that the engine develops suf- ficient pressure to fill all requirements in all parts of the town.
 There is every reason to believe that the purchase of the fire fighting ap- paratus will prove one of the best investments the town has made. The purchase was made on reasonable terms. 259o cash, and the remainder of deferred payments over period of three years at 6Io interest.
