The State Fair.

The Minnesota state fair did not
draw as large an attendance this year
as in 1920 but this was not a fact
about the fair but rather the result
of the general conditions throughout
the country. The big show was there
at Hamline with all it's wonderful dis
plays and attractions, quite up to the
standard of previous years. ~
The displays of the various counties
were espically attractive. Some Of the

POTATO. OUTLOOK . !.
MUCH BRIGHTER
Yield of Late Varieties Estimated to
be rs to 30 Per Cent Better
Than Expected.
Demand for Princeton Potatoes Light
But Lively Movement From
East and West.

The potato situation in this section
of the country is beginning to look
brighter. The yield of late potatoes is
estimated at Is to 80 per cent greater
than was at first anticipated and some
fields will 60 100 bushels or better to
the acre. Cobblers and Ohios consti-
tute the bulk Of the potatoes coming
to the warehouses at present and the
receipts average up fairly well with
those of this time in previous years.
There are also few Kings coming in.
The Cobblers are of good quality but
the Ohios are particularly knobby.
White stock is of as fine a quality as
was ever brought to a Princeton mar
ket, and that is saying a good deal.
The outside demand for Princeton
potatoes is light and, only about 20
cars have been shipped from this point
during the past seven days. There is
a lively movement, however, from both
the eastern and western states, and
these states are at this time virtually
supplying the demand Of the country.
Eastern and western potatoes placed
on the big markets of the country are
of excellent quality, classed No. l, and
sell at premium for the reason that
they are passed over one and seven
eighths screen. In Princeton potatoes
are passed over a one and five-eighths
screen and sold as partly graded.
Quotations in the local market TODAY
are from $3.50 to So per cwt.

To Aid Unemployed.

In order to provide work for the
large number Of unemployed whose
families may otherwise suffer-from
want during the coming winter, and at
the same time to advance road i'm
provement, men, omen and various
organizations in: this and every other
locality of the United States are urged
to give active support to a national
movement started this week by high
way officials.
The aim is to prevail upon congress
to vote in this emergency a double ap-
preparation of federal highway aid for
1921 and to make it available at once.
Highway Commissioner Babcock is
making the appeal for general public
cooperation in Minnesota toward
averting a possible serious unemploy-
ment crisis during the coming winter.
The campaign follows suggestions on
the general subject by Secretary
Hoover of the: department of COM
merce, whom President Harding re-
Gently directed to call national con-
ference to devise relief measures and
remedies. Highway commissioners of
other states are acting in like manner
to Mr.. Babcock.
: "The public is looking to the state
and other departments to take the lead
in this important NATTER" said Com
missioner Babcock, "and because much
road work can be done economically
and advantageously during cold wealth
er, the highway officials of the several
states are uniting to do their part.
"Several hundred men with families
can be employed on Minnesota high
way work this fall and winter if funds
are made available. The highway de-
partment had laid out plans to that
end with expectations that the usual
$2,840,000 allotment of federal aid for
1921 would be forthcoming and that it
would be allowed to anticipate collec-
tions of state funds.
"Then came advices from Washing
ton that in spite of the unemployment
situation and the need Of highway i'm
provements adapted to winter con-
struction, rs per cent reduction in
the federal aid appropriation is pre-
pared.
"Full realization of the possibilities
for providing jobs for men, preventing
suffering among women and children,
and making road improvements, which
are actual public necessities" he add
ed twill result, we believe, in doub-
ling federal aid to- meet this> emer-
gency and to that end public co-opera-
ton is invited"
The official plan, as outlined by
Commissioner Babcock, is for every
man and woman, both individually
and through organizations, to appeal
to senators and representatives from
their states to lend their offices and
influence to obtain the double appro-
priation of highway funds.
He mentioned proposal to time all
petitions to reach Washington during
the last three days of September, just
after the recess in congress expires.

A FATAL MISTAKE.
julius Odegard of Glendorado Acct
dentally Takes Carbolic Acid;
Dies Almost INSTANTLY

dentally Takes Carbolic Acid;
Dies Almost Instantly.
Last Thursday evening Julius Ode
gard by a mistake took dose of car
bolic acid that proved fatal. He had
been slightly +indisposed for several
days and Thursday evening about
seven o'clock returned to the store to
obtain bottle of medicine. AS death
occurred few minutes after he took
the poison, his family, of course, did
not learn just how the mistake was
made but he evidently picked up the
wrong bottle and took the dose before
he discovered his error. He imme-
diately returned to his home, a few
feet distant from the store, and told
his wife he had accidentally taken the
acid. He died within a few minutes,
before any assistance could be rem
dered.
Julius Odegard's untimely death
was a great shock to the people of
Glendorado and Santiago where he
was so we'll known and had hundreds
of friends. The throngs of silent
grief stricken men and women who at
tended the funeral services Sunday be-
spoke the esteem in which this young
man was held in the community where
he had spent his boyhood days. A
brief prayer service at the residence
in Glendorado< preceded the funeral
rites at the Norwegian Lutheran
church. Rev. Wettergren delivered
the sermon and conducted the service,
the greater part of which was rem
dered in the Norwegian language. He
expressed the keen sympathy of all
the members of the community for the
family Of the young man who had
passed away SO quickly and so unex-
pectedly. Rev. Wettergren paid high
tribute to his departed friend, speak
ing of his personal qualities that had
won him the confidence and friendship
of the entire community.
Interment was in the churchyard
and hundreds of men and women who
could not gain admittance to the
church were granted the privilege of
paying the last tokens of respect to
their former friend at the grave.
Julius Odegard was born in Santa
go on June II, 1891, where he
spent the greater part of his life on
his fathers farm. For about three
years he was engaged in business in
Princeton. During that time he con-
Quoted the Riverside feed barn and
was also associated with his brother,
Odin, in the garage. Since last March
he had been conducting the general
store in Glendorado, where he was sue
cessor to his brother, Edwin. He is
survived by his wife and two children,
Evelyn and Virgil; his father, J. O.
Odegard; four sisters, Mrs. Martin
Perman of Santiago, Mrs. Carl Carl
son of Clear Lake, Mrs. Ollie Johnson
of Princeton, Miss Olga Odegard of
Glendorado; four brothers, Odin of
Princeton, Edwin of Milaca and John
and Oscar Of Santiago.
Julius Odegard, although barely
thirty years Of age, had a wide circle
of acquaintances and was making a
place for himself as one of our sue
cessful business men. He was liked
and respected by all who knew him
Deepest sympathy is extended to all
members of his family.

HEALTH ASSOCIATION.
Meets in St. Paul and IndOrses Ma
tionwide Campaign Against Can

tionwide Campaign Against Can
Ger, Which is Spreading.
A directors meeting of the Minneso-
ia Public Health association was held
on Wednesday afternoon of last week
in the offices of the association in st.
Paul. DR.. VIM. F. Wild, the new ex-
ecutive secretary, was introduced to
the directors by the president, DR..
Scofield. The usual reports, read by
the heads of the different departments,
showed that much work is being ac-
complished.
The most important matter disposed
of during the meeting was the indorse-
ment of the nationwide campaign
against cancer. DR.. Stone, the chair
man of the region embracing most OF
the states of the northwest, put up
a strong plea for this Endorsement in
his address to the directors. He called
attention to the fact that cancer has
now supplanted tuberculosis in being
the disease which causes the most
deaths. This, he said, demonstrates
that the campaign urged against tu-
berculosis is proving to be effective.
He asked, not that the fight against
tuberculosis be relinquished in the
least, but that an equally strong cam
paign be waged against cancer. DIR.
Cook of St. Paul, the state chairman
Of this movement, also spoke along
the same lines.
The first week in November has
been designated as "Cancer Week." at
which time the campaign will be
opened.
DIR. A. J. Chesley, the executive Sec
retary of the state board of health,
outlined his plan for calling confer
ence of all state health organizations
and agents. At this conference he
hopes to effect a coordination that
will eliminate all overlapping of work.
This is much needed step and one
which met the hearty approval Of the
directors.
Mrs. John F. Peterson, the state
director from our county, was in at
tendance.
The Public Health association is the
organization which hancles the Christ
mas seal sale, the proceeds of which
are used for the baby clinics and dental
clinics which are so important to the
country at large.
Rev. w. B. Milne, who was our
county president, having moved away,
our county organization is at present
in rather disorganized condition. 1t
| is imperative that our association be
gotten into shape at once in order
that we may be in readiness for the
Christmas seal sale campaign.
Olof Wasenius, the secretary for
our county association, will short
ly issue call for meeting which
all who are interested in the health
movements should attend. It is hoped
that there will be big attendance as
this reorganizing is a matter of much
Importance. A series of clinics to be
held throughout the county is being
arranged.

Meeting on Account of the
Heavy Rain. ~.- y. = ! S2. Z2s


and rain to keep the members of the
Greenbush farm bureau unit from at
tending one Of their monthly meetings.
Despite the downpour at noon and the
threatening skies, large number Of
people assembled at Lewis Robideau's
home on Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Hammargren could not attend
the meeting and it is needless to re-
mark that our genial county agents
presence was greatly missed. However,
an interesting program was present.
ed and a few business matters were
discussed. A rising vote of thanks
was given the committee that had
charge of the township exhibit at the
county fair. This committee consisted
of Mrs. A. E. Grow, Mrs. E. G. Re-
haume, John Bedard and--~Luther
Jones. It was voted to spend por-
ton of the money, awarded as prize
to the township, in purchasing some
cups and an oil stove to be used in
serving coffee at the town hall during
the winter meetings of the unit.
The program committee for Tues->
days meeting consisted of Mrs. Joseph
Mallotte, Mrs. Oscar Erickson ahd
John Bedard. The only member pres
ent was Mrs. Mallotte and she de-
serves much credit for providing so
pleasing an entertainment when a
number of members who were to have
participated in the program were de-
tanned because cf the inclement wealth.
er. The unit had secured copies Of
some farm bureau songs and the
program opened with community sing =
ing. The scsond number was violin
duet by Kenneth Kenely and Nels
Larson. The selection was so much
appreciated the gentlemen had to re-
spond with an encore. A quartet COM
posed of Archie Robideau, Elgeior
Normandin, Ethel Bornecke and Doro-
thy Grow rendered several selections.
The Greenbush unit is .certaily fortu-
nate in having so much splendid must
cal talent among it's members. Ar
chic Robdieau composed both the
words and music of one :of, the songs
rendered by the quartet. George Be-
! dard gave quite long reading with
a very creditable delivery. The pro-
gram was concluded with vocal solo
by Leola Mortimer. The little. girl
sang very sweetly and kept her notes
true throughout the whole selection.
The usual good supper was served
and the gathering dispersed.
The next meeting will be at the
home of Mr.. Henry Saeger on the af-
ternoon of October II. The commit
tee appointed to have charge of the
next program consists of Mrs. Otto
Borneke, Mrs. Oscar Erickson, Ken
meth Kenely and Harry Mortimer.
The members of the Princeton farm
bureau unit very wisely decided to
postpone their monthly meeting until
next Wednesday evening. September
21. At that time, the meeting will be
held in the Jacnicke school house
about four miles north of Princeton.
Mr.. Gebcrt certainly displayed good
judgment in cancelling the meeting
last evening; the rain was coming
down in torrents and the roads would
have bsen extremely slippery. All the
members should plan to attend the
meeting next Wednesday evening in
the Jaenicke school house.
