REVIVAL MEETING
With Eats, Smokes and Other Things,
at Armory, Evening of Janu- -
airy 18-YOu're Invited.

A good old-fashioned revival meet
ing will be held at the Princeton arm
ory on Tuesday, January 10, at p. m.
The ceremonies will be of the type of
the old camp meeting revivals. Lots
Of pep, lots of enthusiasm and chance
for everybody to air his views, or make
confession if he cares to. Inciden-
tally good, live eats and smokes com
mittee has been appointed, so if any
brother overdoes himself in telling
how negligent and careless he has
been during the last year in his duties
towards his home village and his home
community life, he will be brought
back to normal by the things dearest
to HMM other words, something to
sustain the inner man. An entertain
ment committee is also preparing
some good stuff for the crowd.
The purpose Of this meeting will be
to revive and rejuvenate the Prince
ton Commercial club, which is now in
a rather dormant condition. The club
has a large membership list and has
money in the treasury, but owing to
the fact that it was impossible to Sc
cure proper club rooms it has gradu-
ally settled down into its present COM
atose state. Since the new heating
plant in the armory makes suitable
quarters for the club available, it has
been decided to revive it and make
arrangements for getting permanent
quarters right in the armory. This
would serve double purpose. It
would give the local club good foun-
dation for an active, aggressive, up-to-
the-minute organization and would
materially aid the armory board and
the American legion in maintaining
the building. Be sure to arrange to
be there that night-January 10, at 8
p. m.

Keep Him on the Job.

Northern Minnesota has much at
stake in the administration Of the Bah
cock law. Northern Minnesota desires
and demands that Commissioners C. M.
Babcock continue in the direct man
agement of that great enterprise for
which he has been primarily RESPONSE
BILE. s
A one-man control of enterprises
may not always be theoretically cor
rect. It all depends upon the man.
If the personality at the head is hon
orable and able beyond rcproach the
administration will be more efficient
than can be secured by any other
method.
The building Of the great trunk
highway system, like the development
of great university, ought to be kept
free from politics. The Herald Review
believes that Commissioner Babcock
has steered a straight course, guided
by his own experiences and convictions
and his high aims for the welfare Of
the state. If there are those who have
charges of complaints against him, let
those complaints be made public.
There should be no insinuations.
The time may come when a one-man
control Of state highway matters may
be undesirable. But that time is not
yet and will not come as long as Com
missioner Babcock gives to the state
his patriotic service in the interests Of
the greatest economic novementin the
history Of the commonwealth Grand

bekahs Install Officers for
the Ensuing Year.
More Than Four Hundred People At
tend the Ceremonies, Banquet
and Entertainment.

The Odd Fellow and Rebekah
lodges held their annual joint installa-
ton in their hall on Monday evening
and, as usual, it was an event of more
than passing interest. There were
2 over 400 persons present at the ritual
istic ceremonies-which were particu-
larly impressive-and the roast goose
banquet and entertainment which fol-
lowed.
According to the program arrange
ment the installatory ceremonials were
the first in order with Fred w. Manke,
district deputy grand master, install
ling the officers for the ensuing year.

past noble grand; Fred Scholey, noble
grand; Clair Smith, vice grand; A. J..
Anderson, recording secretary; Olof
Wasenius, financial secretary; G. A..

s.
Hosea Hunt, outside guardian.
A banquet with menu of roast
goose and many delicacies of the sea-
son followed the installation cere-
monies and so numerous were those
who participated in the feast that it
was necessary for them to dine in re-
lays-the long tables were cleared six
. times.
Olof W2senius was chairman and
. Rev. Henry hobbs speaker of the
evening. His address emphasized the
advantages, opportunities and rcspon-
sibilitics of Oddfellowship in relation
to the individual and the larger issues
e of the national and international life
of today. The speech was interviewer
with touches of humor, and that it
was appreciated was demonstrated by
the applause Of the assemblage. Sew
eral numbers were rendered by an
orchestra and little Myrtle Ness, in a
sweet and pleasing voice, favored the
gathering with vocal solo. The fes-
tivities concluded with dance which
continued until o'clock in the morn
ing.
The banquet was prepared and
served by members of the Odd Fellows
lodge and they certainly demonstrated
that they were thoroughly familiar
with the cuisine art.

Taking the oath Of office yesterday
Governor J. A. O. Preus, twentieth ex-
ecutive of Minnesota and victor in one
OF the hardest election campaigns in
the history of the state, pleaded with
the legislature in his inaugural mes
sage to keep party pledges for the
enactment of tonnage tax on iron
ore, cooperative marketing laws, re-
form of the primary election system
"a sound highway program, etc. Here
are some of the high spots in his mes
sage:
Cooperative Observation-Disclosures
ment Of powers and personnel of state
department of agriculture to permit it
to aid in organization of cooperative
selling agencies to handle farm prod
ucts and have memberships in termi-
nal selling associations.
Tonnage Tax on Iron Ore-"A fair
and equitable tonnage taxa net
profits tax in lieu of all other state
taxes upon property, accompanied by
a reduction in the percentage of the
so-called ad valorem tax for other pur-
poses.
Primary Election Reform-A return
to party designations in the legislature
and convention systems for party nom.
nations, "safeguarded at it's source
by requiring delegates to be elected by
party primary methods"
Better Roads-Wise laws to be
passed by the legislature to provide
for the building and administration Of
the trunk highway system and co.
ordination of the good roads system
with Minnesota's parkway plans.
Soldiers Bonus-To raise rates OF
interest on state bonus bonds to per-
init their sale, so that all of Minneso.
ta's soldiers, marines and sailors may
receive their state bonus without more
delay. .,-
Reorganization Plans-To make
state auditors office an auditing office
only and to create new state depart.
ment to care for the natural resources
of the state. IS
Economy-No appropriations unless
absolutely necessary for the efficient
administration of public affairs. .

in tho school houses be made promi-
nent feature Of the membership cam
paign in Gre snbusil. This would af-
ford the men an opportunity to discuss
the project with their neighbors and
plan program for their township
organization. According to the pres
ent plsn each township will have its
own representatives. The township
with the smallest number Of members
is to be the unit in determining the
numbe: Of representatives to which
the larger townships will be entitled.
Thus if the smallest number of men,
bers in any township is 30, one hav-
ing 80 members would have three rep
resentatives. The Representatives
from all the townships will form the
executive committee. This committee
will select the county agent, transact
the business of the county associa-
ton and decide on the different prof.
ects which shall be undertaken. The
executive committee will make the
plans and the county agent will mere
~ work out their ideas. OF course
capable county agent could give the
committee good advice in the matter.
Mile Laos county is long and mar
row and it is therefore difficult for an
agent to cover the whole territory. It
has been suggested that an arrange
ment be made whereby the county
agent can make his headquarters at
Princeton for at least two days week,
and at Milaca for two days and then
have one or two days in the lake coun-
try.
The following general program has
been suggested for the county asso-
citation during the next few months:
Some time in February Mr.. Chapman,
a poultry expert, is expected to be
here. Any man, by merely making
the request, can secure the services of
Mr.. Chapman, who will Gull his flock
Of chickens. Many poultry producers
in this county. have learned that this
process of culling is we'll worth while.
In the spring many farmers are con-
fronted with the drainage problem. An
effort will be made to secure a man
from the agricultural college who un-
derstands drainage.
Later veterinarian is to be availa-
BILE. He will be kept busy examining
the herds Of cattle. Any COW that
has bad case of tuberculosis should
be killed and the state will pay the
owner two thirds of her value. It is
also planned to have some men from
the American Agricultural Chemical
society discuss the subject Of soils and
fertilizers with especial reference to
the production of potatoes. Some
such program as this should be of in
terest and of considerable value to all
the farmers in the county.

BOTHERED BY eLAcKHEADsa

''Of what use are lovely clothes if the complexion is murky and the skin is sprinkled with blackheads?" Thus many girl moans before her tell tale mirror.
 Blackheads are caused by two con- ditions: Either there is a disorder somewhere in the digestive tract which should be corrected by phy- sician, or the glands are lazy and refuse to act, so they need stimulation to rid them of the oily matter which has hardened and turned black by contact with the air.
 Blackheads are usually squeezed out with the finger nails-the worst possible thing to do.
 To properly remove these pests, the skin must first be rendered phable, so that the pores can willingly yield their contents without breaking the surrounding tissue This can be ac- complished by amounting the parts with bland cream. rubbing it in deep ly but gently with the finger tips, and each time removing it after five min utes' massage. This should be done several times each day.
 Few skins are heroic enough to stand the complexion brush, but a shaving brush, with father of shaving soap or cream is quite gentle. After a thorough cleansing, Gais should be removed with warm water then d rinse of very cold water. In extreme cases, a facial bath of very hot water with the use of genuine almond meal may be massaged into the skin very gently, followed by an emolient cream.

 And tires? As many as we could pile on!
 Then I'd get a railroad time table for my road map and set sail.
 Just think ' how things have changed" groaned the pioneer of speed
 I'm making this trip alone, and I haven't changed a tire or even been out of the car except at stops. Even the desert roads are graded and the mountain stretches where I once bounced from crag to crag are now smooth road with concrete bridges. There's a gasoline station and an corner, and a speed trap on most every straightaway. I kept meeting and passing cars all the time and the only additional equipment I seemed to need was a dinner coat and patent feathers to keep me from be- ing conspicuous evenings round the hotel
 As for road direction, the whole route is signboarded so thoroughly that a glance will tell you any time how far you are from any place on earth and how to get there.
 And I actually saved time. for I wanted to call on my dealer In each town and I'd rather tour a bit than wait for trains, anyhow

AKRON, O.. April 23-The city of Akron, Ohio, the rubber metropolis of the world so called because it pro- duces 46 per cent of the worlds rub Der goods at 65 per cent of all tires manufactured annually, is rapidly re- turning to normal industrial condi- tions. The backbone of the slump, which hit Akron more than nine months ago, has been broken. Rubber factories are beginning to reemploy and are increasing produc- tion substantially. With the an nouncement that the Firestone Tire and Rubber company will put on 2,000 additional men by May l. and with other rubber companies speeding up production in proportion, everything indicates a steady return to normal activity.
 With automobile factories resum- ing operations, original equipment tire business in increasing Fire stone reports a big increase in orig inal equipment orders for April, as compared with March. This com pany increased production on April Is 50 per cent, or from 10000 tires daily to 15,000 tires daily and will operate two daily eight-hour shifts. This places the Firestone Tire and Rubber company at more than 50 per cent of peak production-the highest mark reached in nine months. Fire stone at its peak, last May, was making 2S.000 tires daily.
 The four big tire companies in Akron-Firestone, Goodrich, Good year and Miller-despite the tire in dustry slump. had, in 1920. total sales aggregating S502, ,S72, ,639, as compared to $429, ,095,101 during 1919. an in crease of s73,419,136. Present sta- tistics show that all Akron factories are working on an average of not less than 50 per cent of normal. This means they are doing business now at the rate of almost $275. 100000 a year, a substantial business for any city to be doing under present con- ditions
 In many respects many good re- suits have come from the tire indus try slump in Akron. One clear evil dence is that it has taught employers not to be reckless or extravagant, as in the past. It has eliminated the transient and undesirable element of labor, and has produced greater eff ciency in factory work.
 The slump has given Akron time to catch up with herself in civic i'm provement. No city can increase in population from 69.000 to 20S,o00 in 10 years and have civic development keep pace with industrial growth and population increase. Conditions are now diffirent.. The city is regaining it's balance. Nearly s75,000.000 worth of public improvement are contem- plated Boulevards and hundreds of miles of paved streets are to be built. The city has created a planning com mission which is arranging an exten- sive program of civic improvement and city Identification. It has pur- chased TOO acres of land for a public park It is increasing it's hospital facilities, widening its main thcr- oughfares. planning a new postoffice. is erecting new hotels and is also planning three new theaters. In ad- dition there are many home building programs under way.
 In short, Akron has had time to catch her breath again and will be a better and cleaner city to live in.

MANY CARS ARt FROM FRANKLIN PLANT

The winter of 191s-192O will long be remembered for it's mildness Practically all of the state highways in the eastern part of the country at least were open during the entire winter, and long lines of new cars being driven away from the automo- bile factories were a common sight.
 Central New York winters in par ticular have always been noted for their rigor, but the winter just passed was the exception that proved the rule. This is borne out by statistics just released by the Franklin Auto mobile Company of Syracuse, which show that 693 cars were driven away from the factory from November 1 to March 1. Out of 956 cars sold and delivered during February, 152 were driveaways. Many of these cars were driven overland to points as far dis tant as Ohio, Indiana, Delaware and the District of Columbia.

Do you seriously think he would ask with his rasping drawl. that any of them can compare with Mortadella da Bo1ogna?"
