Elk River Band to Play Monday.

Elk River Band to Play Monday.
The plans of the Elk River band
were changed at the last minute, af-
ter the notice had been written con-
corning the concert last Monday even
ing and in the rush Of the work on the
last day the change which should have
been made was overlooked. We are
told that the band will surely be here
next Monday and give concert in the
evening. It is unfortunate that an
error was made in the announcement
but surely no music lovers could re-
gret being present at the concert last
Monday evening. Our own band is as
worthy Of support as any organiza-
tion that can visit US.
The residents of the village and the
surrounding country are urged to be
present to hear the visitors next Mon
day evening. All possible courtesies
were extended to our boys when they
were in Elk River and we surely wish
to return the hospitality.

Find Ready Sale for Halter.

Z P. W. Jensen, who has been travel

tied Detroit, Brainerd and St. Cloud,
One hundred and ninety dealers are

most of the animals that are inclined
to be unruly wore these halters. Mr..
Jensen has received orders for hall
ters from states as far distant as
Maryland.
This week Mr.. Jensen and his son,

The peat has been smouldering in
the big swamp near Dalbo for two

burst forth into real blaze in several
places. Various numbers of men have
been on duty watching the fire and

big meadow and destroy the hay. So
far they have been successful hold
ing it in check. The danger was the
greatest last Friday and Saturday
when 20 men were patrolling the re-

BOYS PINNED
BENEATH CAR.
Ford Capsizes on Cambridge Road ;
Driver, Emil Stay, is Killed
Almost Instantly.
LARSON ESCAPES INJURY
Funeral Services Conducted at Home
of Hans Stay on Wednes-
day Afternoon.

On last SUNDAY morning aDOuC 1
o'clock fatal accident occurred on
the Cambridge road approximately
four miles east of Princeton. A Ford
car driven by Emil Stay of Green
bush ran off from the road and upset,
pinning him and his companion, AL
bert Larson, under the front seat.
Emil Stay was severely injured; his
sternum was broken and his skull
was fractured. It is thought the back
of the front seat struck him on the
chest. Albert Larson states Emil died
a few minutes after the accident oc-
cured.
The boys, it seems, had planned to
attend barn dance at Kroener's farm
near Spectacle lake, and were return
ing home. The accident occurred
about mile west of Louis Rust's
home. The tracks showed that the
car had been driven on the left side
of the road for some distance. The
boys must have kept too far to the
left and finally slipped off from the
road into ditch about three feet deep.
The top was not on the car and
when it upset both boys were pinned
down so firmly that it was impossible
for Albert to extracate them. He
called for help but no one heard his
cries for about an hour. He believes
five cars passed him whose occupants
failed to notice the wreck.
Finally Ed Rust and Harold Chill
strom, who were driving past, heard
Albert's cries and came to the rescue.
They took both him and Emil to the
Northwestern hospital in Princeton.
Albert fortunately escaped with no
serious injuries, just few scratches.
Funeral services were held for Emil
Stay at the residence of his father,
Hans Stay of Greenbush, on Wednes-
day at 1 o'clock. Rev. w. H. Orrock
of Santiago conducted the services.
Interment was in the Santiago ceme-
terry. --
Emil Stay was born in Greenbush
on July 19, 1900. He grew to man.
hood there and was we'll known in
this vicinity. He was an Industrious
young man with scores Of friends.
His untimely death is greatly to be
regretted. He is survived by his
father, four sisters, Mrs. Emil john
son of Minneapolis, Mrs. Carl Johnson
Of Minneapolis, Mrs. Gust Falkstrom
of Greenbush, Mrs. Henry Peterson Of
Minneapolis, and three brothers, Hol-
ton of St. Paul Park, Albert and Ed
ward who reside with their father in
Greenbush. The three brothers and
Mrs. Henry Peterson were in atten-
dance at the funeral services.
The deep sympathy Of the COM
munity is extended to the surviving
members of the family, particularly
the father, Hans Stay.

THE CASH PLAN
C.. H. Nelson Inaugurates the Cash
System; Local Stores Well
Patronized.


Princeton is showing unmistakable
signs of prosperity. Most of the
business houses during the past year
have made some minor improvements
and some of them have been complete
ly renovated.
One Of the establishments in which
the alterations are just being COM
pleted is C. H. Nelson's general store.
This store has been enlarged to in
clude the building formerly occupied
by Alfred Melin company. In the
west wing which fronts on first street
is the grocery department which is
under management of Ed. Love. The
other portion of the former Melin
store is to be occupied by mems
furnishing department. The general
merchandise will remain in the same
quarters and the back part of the
store which formerly contained the
groceries is to be converted into a
women's ready-to-wear department.
Mr.. Nelson states that he expects to
make big feature of this department
in which will be carried full line of
Betty Wales dresses and the Princess
Conde coats and suits. He will have
the room and equipment for. display
ing these garmentsAand can give his
customers the service they deserve.
The cash payments will be handled
as conveniently as possible for the
customers. Coupon books for SIS, $40,
SIS or $40 may be purchased. The
book will be kept in the store and a
duplicate coupon attached to the pur
chase when it is delivered. The buyer
by saving the coupons will know the
total amount of his purchases. A
discount of two per cent is given for
the cash purchase of the SIS and $40
books and three per cent on the SIS
and $40 books.
When a village the size of Prince
ton has as many first class stores as
we have here there is no difficulty at
all in keeping the trade at home. The
people will buy where, with the least
inconvenience to themselves, they can
secure the best service and the best
value for their money. The cars that
line our streets testify to the fact
that the residents of Princeton are
making no idle boast when they state
there is not better business town in
this section Of the state. On Satur-
day evening it is as difficult to find a
parking space on the two principal
business streets as it is upon Hen
nepin or Nicollet avenues in Minneap-
oils just at the movie hour. The writ
er drove down Main street looking for
a parking place last Saturday evening
and in two blocks found just one va
cant space.
In Princeton we now have several
stores on the cash basis. The buyers
in any line can have either service
which they prefer and undoubtedly
the vast majority will patronize both
classes of establishments. Both have
their advantages and disadvantages.
