Sunday Movie Decision.

District Judge J. N. Searles of the
nineteenth judicial district of Mime
sofa rendered decision recently which
is of more than passing interest in that
it points out something new with re-
spect to the limitations within which
village Tor city, councils must con-
fine themselves when enacting ordi-
nances.
At North Branch, a Blue Sunday
squad had circulated petitions urging
the city council to pass an ordinance
prohibiting Sunday movies. A COM
placent village council did so, bssing
it's power on the provisions of the
charter which empowered tic council
ITO prevent or license and regulate the
exhibition of shows Of any kind" and
in it's DISCRETION to refuse to grant
license for any show.
The judge rules that these pro-

visions do not furnish grounds for the
prohibiting Of Sunday shows; that the
village has no power to enact special
Sunday laws differing from the state
law, and the prosecution for the vio-
lation of Sunday laws must be under
the state law and not under the village
ordinance. The state law prohibits
"all labor except work of necessity or
charity" If the North Branch author
tiles wish to stop Sunday movies they
must do SO by means Of the state law
which forbids all activities "except
works of necessity or charity" and
must therefore close up all other places
along with the movie theaters- or
leave the movies open along with other
public or scmi-public establishments.

SPLENDIDLY STAGED.
Young People of Greenbush Present
Play, when Man is SINGLE

at Princeton Armory.
The teachers of district 5 and the
young people of Greenbush staged a
play at the armory last Saturday
which was produced in an excellent
manner. There was not hitch in the
program from the rise to the drop of
the curtain. The play, entitled, "When
Man is Single" was under the direc-
ton of Mrs. A. E. Grow, assisted by
Misses Ortha Croft and Mary Madsen,
and the plaudits which greeted the
actors was sufficient proof that it was
enjoyed by everyone in attendance.
The audience should have been
larger, for the young people of Green
bush were deserving of better patron
age, but this was due to the fact that
the play was not sufficiently adver-
tised. However, we are pleased to
state, there was a fairly good-sized
audience and that the young people
cleared expenses and had small sum
left for their treasury.
We would suggest that the play be
reproduced, but that it be given more
publicity, and the Union will do it's
part toward bringing the presenta-
ton to the attention of the people in
general If such decision is made.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY.
Seniors Will Present Three-Act

The senior class of the Princeton
high school will present a three-act
comedy tomorrow afternoon and even
ing. The seniors have been working
hard on the play and have received
good coaching, so that the production
should be first class.
They are assisted in their perfor-
nance by number Of students from
the other classes who will appear as
"specialites" to entertain the audience
between acts. Music will be furnished
by the high school orchestra.
The scene of the comedy is Rip Van

some dark mystery.
Both performances should receive
generous patronage. Home talent
plays are always of interest to the
public and the seniors have evidently
wisely selected a comedy which anna
tours can handle to good advantage.

PUBLIC CAMPING GROUNDS.
Village Park, Situated on Scenic High
way, Has Been Cleared for -
Camping Grounds.


The village park, the pine grove,
situated on the Scenic highway, has
been converted into a public camping
grounds. The trees have been
trimmed and a number removed so
that those remaining can make good
growth. All the underbrush has
been removed and the whole grove
cleared so that the park presents a
very attractive appearance.
A neat little cabin has been erected
in which cook stove is to be installed
for the use of motorists and picnick-
ers. Tables and benches are provided,
and several open brick fire places are
to be built so that the campers may
have the fun of cooking their meals
out of doors. No pump is yet in evil
dence but that and few other con-
veniences will be installed in due time
The council is to be commended for
it's action in converting the unused
park into an inviting camping
grounds. We all want to see Prince
ton on the map as one of the most
attractive, progressive villages in
northern Minnesota.
The park is not for motorists only,
it should be enjoyed by the people of
Princeton themselves, and it is hoped
picnickers will make good use of the
facilities there afforded.

IN n. DAKOTA
Fusion Forces of North Dakota in
Convention at Devils Lake Vote ),
for a Recall Election.
Election Directed Against Governor,
Attorney General, Commits
sioner of Agriculture.

The independents In North Dakota
have finally decided that they arc not
willing to submit to the ncnpartisan
regime for another twenty months
and have decided to iold recall cleo
ton on or before November 8, 1921.
Four hundred delegates were present
at the convention and the vote for the
recall was almost unanimous. This
election is directed against Governor
Lynn J. Frazier, Attorney General
William Lemke and Commissioner of
Agriculture John N. Hagan. Resolu-
tons were passed demanding that a
state constitutional amendment be
submitted to the people at this COM
ing election providing for the issuance
Of bonds in the amount Of $7,750,OO0.
These bonds are to be used in paying
the debts and liabilities of the Bank
of North Dakota, the Mill and Eleva-
tor association and the Home Builders
association.
R. A. Nestos of Minot received a
unanimous nomination for governor
and Sveinbjorn johnson of Grand
Forks was nominated as Attorney
General Lemke's opponent, and the
candidate for the commissioner of
agriculture is not yet selected but it
is generally understood he is to be a
service man.
The fusion forces representing the
democrats, republicans and all oppo-
nents of the nonpartisan league feel
quite confident they will be able to
carry the coming election. Their cal
culations seem to be fairly well found
ed considering that the election last
fall was very close and the fact that
the nonpartisans have lost considera-
BILE ground in the last four months.
A message from Governor Preus to
the independent forces of North Da-
kota was received with great enthusi-
asm by the delegates in the convention.
The message was as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: AS COVER
nor Of Minnesota I invite the republi-
cans and all political factions opposed
to the nonpartisan league to visit Min
nesota and to study the cooperative
marketing program which we have en-
acted into law and to study the plans
of our state department of agricul-
ture. ..
"We believe such a program will
give the farmers greater opportunity
to benefit themselves and give them
greater profits than any untried
methods which the nonpartisan league
program in North Dakota offers.
"Yours very truly,
81. A. O. Preus."

CLEAN UP, BRETHREN.
Take Pride In Your Home Town and
Haul Those Unsightly Rubbish
o~l ~,

and Ash Heaps Away.
The cooperation of the whole COM
munity is asked by the Civic Better
ment club in the cleanup campaign
which is to be put on this month in
Princeton.
Most people-but alas! not all
rake their yards in the spring and
have the winters accumulation of
ashes and other rubbish hauled away.
This is long stride toward making
the town good, clean one, but there
are many other things that need at
tention. Alleys should be cleared of
all refuse and streets should be
cleared of everything except what BE-
longs there legitimately. We should
bear in mind that we are on the Scenic
highway and that many tourists will
undoubtedly pass through here this
summer. Many of these will have no
way to Judge us but by the appear
ance of our town. We should wish
them to see a clean, tidy town-a
town with trim, wcll-kcpt lawns, a
town with clean alleys, with tidy
streets, not one with ragged looking
yards, unkempt alleys and streets lit
tered with vagrant papers.
1t would be we'll if our town were
provided with paper receptacles at
the downtown street corners where
could be deposited emptied popcorn
bags, slippery banana pcels and other
like refuse. =
Thanks largely to our earliest set
tiers our streets are beautifully shad-
ed by many handsome trees, but there
is much that could be done besides
cleaning up to further beautify our
our already pretty little town, and
that at little extra expense.
The Civic Betterment club is having
shrubbery planted in front of the arm
Dry, and that will not only add great
ly to the appearance of the armory
OuC W CIlC CO"ll Ill SClC1dl. lllCIC DIT;
numerous other places-and some of
them are along Main street-which
could be similarly beautifed. Flower
beds put in places which have never
grown anything but ugly weeds would
make vast difference in the looks of
our town.
Take a look from the outside at
both your home site and your place of
business to see if there are not some
places that can be made more slightly
so that Princeton will look more like
the fine town we who live here know
it to be.
A little thought, little money and
little manual labor will turn most
unsightly places into places of beau
ty. This is the time of year to begin
these transformations. Here's hop
ing that everyone's civic pride is in
good working order this spring.
