Notes..

Art Wood and Joe Nutshell worked
as umpires and you've got to hand it
to 'em for being there with the goods.
The game was clean cut from start to
finish and you can't have close game
like that if you don't have good UNI
piring.
Ward Young played the shortstop
position for Manke's crew and put up
a snappy article of ball. He started
two double plays that broke up
threatened rallies and also broke in
with a single in the second.
Galley led the. batting attack, get
ting three singles out of five times up.
Berg pulled down hot liner from
Thielman's bat in the sixth that would
have been good for three bases in or
binary going.
A good bunch of Princeton fans
went with the team and rubbed it into
the Foleyites whenever they thought
the home crowd needed it.
The Foley roofing contingent made
desperate efforts to start something
in the last three rounds, but their
pets failed to hit in the pinches. Root
ing will help win game sometimes,
but you've got to have more than root
ing. >.

cents pei, pound. In the latter part Of
July there will be a meeting atIMilaca
to discuss the method of handling this
picric acid. Anyone wishing to secure
a quantity Of tho explosive should
write Mr.. Hammargren.
The proposed picnic Of the units adj
jacent to Princeton was discussed.
All the members present were strong
ly in favor of having this picnic. Ac-
cording to the tentative plans, it will
be held about the middle of August
and at the fair grounds. It is planned
to include the members in Princeton,
Greenbush, Baldwin and Blue Hill
units and the Princeton business men
and their wives. Arrangements will
be made for a good program including
speakers and various sports. If the
present plans are perfected this picnic
should be great success.
The social hour that followed the
business session was most enjoyable.
The music furnished by the young Ia
dies was much appreciated. Then fol-
lowed the refreshments of ice cream
and cake. The absent friends were
missed but those present profited by
having double shares of ice cream and
great mounds of the cream disap-
peared rapidly.
The next meeting will be held on
August 10 at the home of Ralph
Schmidt.

New Legal Rates.

New legal rates established~by the
recent legislature became effective
July 1. The old rate for legal print
ing was rs cents per folio for the first
publication Of legal printing and IS
cents per folio for subsequent inser-
lions. The new rates are 80 cents anil
As cents. This increase in rates for
legal publications has long been naed-
ed. Every paper in the country dur
ing the pest few years has hecn forced
to raise it's advertising rates and it is
only fair that the legal rates should
also be increased. For years it has
been necessary for the state to make
a special appropriation to cover the
expense of the publication of the state
treasurer's statements as no paper
would agree to do the work at the
full legal rates then existing.

A Shameful Proceeding.

New York, July 14.-Oscar Ham

followed him to the grave. His
tombstone will be sold at public auc-
ton the first week in August unless

D. M. Clough Sends Greetings.

David M. Clough of Everett, Wash,
sends greetings to his many friends
in Minnesota. Mr.. Clough moved to
Everett twenty-five years ago and
since then has been back to Minnesota
only on hurried business trips. He is
as strong and active as in the days of
his youth and apparently has not
aged a whit in the past twenty-five
years. Busy as he is with his lumber
ing interests he always finds time to
most Hospitality entertain all his old
friends from Minnesota.

the work in the confectionery keeps
him busy, but he likes it. Cap. is an
energetic young man and there is no
apparent reason why he should not
make success Of his new venture.

Buffalo Also Has Big Celebration.

Buffalo evidently has some enter
prising, public-spirited citizens who
staged a most successful Fourth of
July celebration. Princeton did her
self proud this year and we are glad
to hear that some of our neighbors
had an equally good time. By the
way, Princeton appreciates the CO.
operation of the residents in the sur
rounding country and some of the adj
jacent towns who spent the day with
us and helped to make the celebration
such big success.

Two Million Brick Made.

By August 1, R. P. Morton says,
his brick yard will have turned out
100000 brick which is an excellent
showing. Twenty-five men are en-
ployed in the yard and the quality of
brick manufactured is Of the very
best. The brick-making industry at
Brickton is big asset to this part
of the country.

of Oscar Erickson. This of course is
a busy season on the farm and it was
expected that the attendance would be
smaller than usual. Nevertheless be-
tween forty and fifty people assem-
bled under the trees in Erickson's
yard.
County Agent Hammargren first
addressed the meeting md briefly re-
viewed the work the .buerau had ac-
complished in the past four months.
For one thing, Mile Laos county has
the best boys single pig club in Min
nesota. There are % members in this
club. These boys and girls clubs
are most important. If we are to
keep our boys and girls at home they
must Become interested in the work on
the farm. A Holstein breeders asso-
citation has been organized. Mr.. Ham
margren wishes to know if any other
breeders desire to have similar asso-
citation. A potato exchange has been
established at Pease and plans are be-
ing made for shipping association
at Long = Siding and also at
Wahkon. The farm bureau was
largely instrumental in formulating
the plans for the community scalehere
in Princeton. The bureau, of course,
always lends it's support to the COOP
erative livestock shipping associa-
tons and other similar organizations.
Work has been done in the vicinity
of Isle to help the cooperative cream
cry located there and in the last few
months that creamery has secured 20
new patrons.
Mr.. Hammargren urged the men,
bers not to work only for their CO.
operative business enterprises but to
also show friendly cooperative spir-
it with the members of their own COM
munity and all the residents of the
county. There is much truth in the
old adage: pulling together igAtens
the load"
The out of town speaker of the af-
ternoon was R. E. Olnastead of the
university extension department. Mr..
Olmstead has small farm at
Excelsior where he raises ap-
Piles, but he spends a por-
ton of his tirlc with the extension
bureau. He is particularly interested
in the farmers clubs and IT the pres
ent time there ere about 1000 of these
clubs in Minnesota. Mr.. Olmstead
spoke along the same lines as Mr..
Hamm:rgren, emphasizing the i'm
portance of friendly cooperative
spirit among the members CT any COM
munity. He voiced some Of the senti-
ments that Larry Ho has been singing
so blithely for so many years.
Louis Normandin suggested that
the units in the vicinity of Princeton
at some future date have a farm bu-
reau picnic. Mile Laos is rather :.
long county and at this time it seemed
inadvisable to attempt to have all the
units in the county come together for
such an affair.
A program committee was appoint
ed which will provide short enter
tainment for the next meeting since
no special speaker is expected at that
time. The meeting will be held on
the afternoon Of August at the
home of Louis ROCKFORD.
After the business session adj
journed the ladies served one of their
delicious cafeteria suppers.

Last evening the members of the
Princeton unit assembled at the home
of August Neumann. The rain dis
couraged several members from COM
ing but still there was good atten-
dance. a.
Mr.. Olmstead spoke at this meeting
Rlso. He first gave short talk on the
birds which was most interesting, es-
pecially to the boys and girls present.
He then discussed a few Of the farm
er's social and economic problems.
He said the farmer ought to be en-
couraged to keep pure bred stock but
more pure bred men and women were
also needed, men and women who I'M
derstand the task they have to handle
and who are willing to play good,
clean game. He concluded this dis
cussion with the following remark:
3The farmer is just as good man
as walks this earth and not one whit
better"
Mr.. Hammargren in his remarks
announced that some time within the
next few weeks poultry school will
be conducted at Milaca by Mr.. Chap
man or some of his assistants. Each
unit is asked.to send three representa-
tives to this school, preferably two
women and one man. There will be
demonstrations Of culling and the
method will be thoroughly explained
so that these delegates can go back
to their units and show their neigh
bors how to Gull their focks. =

Encouraging the Hen.

The modern method of increasing
the quantity of eggs that may be OBJ
tanned from hens is turning on electric
lights in their pens in the middle of
the night, thereby awakening them. to
the end that they eat an extra meal
and thus approach closer than ever be-
fore the ideal of laying an egg a day
week after week. One cannot but
think that this lengthening of the
working day for hens is device of
the same genius who discovered that
there was no need of arising at dawn
to feed the poultry. He simply waited
until after the henyard denizens had
gone to roost, and then scattered their
morning meal. The hens found their
breakfast waiting for them in the
morning, while the ingenious one arose
and went about the affairs OF the day
only when he felt SO inclined No
chanticleer called him to work.

The Moro is not all bad. He has
his good points. There has never been
q case where a Moro has murdered an
American woman, and there are many
American women in Moroland. This
abstinence. however. is not due to
Moro chivalry. but to the fact that in
the Moro thought women have no

of the sex Keeps the More from be-

many respects to that of an automo-
bile is the distinguishing feature of a
new form of gasoline-driven interur-
ban car described in Popular Me.
chanics Magazine. Though the body,
seating 35 passengers, is like that of a
standard modern street car, there is a
long hood extending in front, in which
the 50-horsepower engine is mounted.
An auto-type gear shift is provided
and shaft transmits the power to
the rear wheels. Air brakes, electric
lights, and hot water heating plant
are other details of the equipment.
The car makes a round trip of 40
miles in a little more than two and
one-half hours, consuming about five
and one-half gallons of gasoline, or
one gallon to seven miles.

School Notes

Some questions for parents to
think about:
!. Do you visit the school to
inquire about your child's progress
and department.. and to see if you
can help the teacher help the
child?
2. Do you encourage your
child to cultivate respect for
teachers and others in authority?
3. Do you send your child to
bed in time so that he will be
rested and fit to study
4. Do you interest yourself in
your child's sports and amuse-
ments and friendships?
5. Do you encourage helpful
conversation at the table, and
avoid gossip?
Parents give yourselves a self
examination and see how you rate
in these lines.
