To Put on Auto Buses.

H. R. Neide, agent for the Great
Northern railroad at St. Cloud, is
quoted as giving out the following in
formation:
Experiments shortly will be made
by the Great Northern railroad with
auto busses operated on the company's
branch lines out of St. Cloud and from
one point in Montana.
Two experimental BUSES, luxuri.
ously equipped, will be put in opera.
ton and will comply with all interstate
commerce regulations. They will &C.
commodate SO passengers.
The BUSES are designed to operate
on branch lines where the traffic does
not warrant operating large passenger
trains. They also are expected to meet
demand for frequent short hauls and
to compete with highway transporta-
ton bus lines.

Girls. of Sixties Convene.

On Tuesday of this week the Girls
of the Sixties spent the day with Mrs.
Phoebe Borden Zone Of the girls), who
has cottage on the farm of her son,
Chas. Murray, built on the shore of
Green like in a most beautiful location.
The party was complete surprise to
both Mr.. and Mrs. Borden. A delicious
dinner was served at noon and greatly
enjoyed.
The afternoon was spent visiting
and recalling the good times of the
past. A two-pound box of lovely
chocolate candy was passed, the gift
Of Gerald Peterson, and rising vote
of thanks was given to- the donor.
The girls are indebted to Fred Keith
and Gerald Peterson, who so kindly
furnished transportation, driving their
cars out to the lake in the forenoon
and returning in the evening; also to
Mr.. and Mrs. Murray, who gave such
cordial welcome and helped so gen.
erously with the dinner.
One of the rules of the club forbids
a member to address another formally
only the given name must be used
and forfeit of five cents must be
paid into the treasury for each offense.
Mary Rines led the number of often
ders with a fine of IS cents and sew
eral others followed closely.
Those present were Mary Rines,
Eva Keith, Waite Peterson, Ellen
Howard, Emma Griffith, Mary Lynch
and Emogene Soule. The girls de-
clared May 2 the shortest day of the
year by their calendar, and that each
party was just little more pleasant
than the one before. Several parties
are planned for the summer, and it's
really wonderful how young the girls
are growing.

Wedding Anniversary.

Last Thursday was the fifteenth an.
niversary of the wedding of DR.. anc
Mrs. S. A. Lumb, and number of his
Pensioners gathered at the home Of
Mrs. Briggs, where he was expected
to hold choir rehearsal, bent on cele.
brating the event in proper style
Mrs. Lumb had been asked to accom-
pany him, ostensibly to see how the
''new music" went.
Imagine their surprise when the
"choir" completely filled the house
which was beautifully decorated in
white and green with cut flowers in
every room and the new music turned
out to be the strains of Lohengrin's
wedding march. DR.. and Mrs. Lumt
were escorted to an improvised altar
and there the wedding ceremony was
performed by one John-Bishcp of
the church. It must have been his
first attempt at officiating as he made
many ludicrous plumbers, Intentionally
or otherwise, and we doubt not that
DR.. Lumb got many new pointers or
performing the ceremony, which, if
he was not too nervous to note, may
stand him in good stead. After the
VOWS were taken bounteous luncheon
was served and a brides cake cut by
Mrs. Lumb.
The couple were presented with q
beautiful cut-glass fruit bowl by the
guests, Mrs. Larson making the pres
entation in neat speech responded to
by the bride. The groom by this time
was speechless.
To make the affair more complete q
charivari was staged by the young
people of the gathering which was OF
the regular Princeton variety. At a
late hour the guests and newlyweds
departed for their several homes, ev.
eryone wishing DR.. and Mrs. Lumh

milestones are passed Contributed.

5000 worth of farm seeds for sale
which he had raised. On the strength
of few cents worth Of advertising in
his local paper the farmer disposed of
his seed to decided advantage.
So runs the history of great many
people. While one neighbor will spend
months in trying to satisfy his wants
in the old way, his fellow neighbor
adopts more progressive methods of
businessand, using little advertising
accomplishes in few days the thing
that required his neighbor months
to do.
The farmer who has something to
sell by advertising it to his fellow
men will profit in the same manner as
the business man who advertises his
wares to the public.
The following principles might we'll
be followed for farm advertising: Do
not ask more for the goods advertised
than they are worth, always advertise
truthfully, always stand back of the
advertisement, advertise the goods for
sale in a season when people want to
buy such goods, don't advertise things
which you know nobody wants.

accompanied the groom. After the
wedding ceremony the party gathered
at the home Of the groom's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Garfield Miner, living
southwest Of Carlock, where the we'd
ding supper was served.
''The bride is from Princeton, Mimi,
a graduate of the high school Of that
place and for the past two years has
been teaching southeast of Carlock.
She is young lady Of many accom-
plishments and popular with the young
people of the Carlock vicinity. The
groom is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Gar
field Miner. After finishing the ele-
mentary schools, he spent two years
at the state agricultural college at
Brookings. He is one of the prosper
Gus young farmers Of the county and
the happy couple will reside on the
groom's farm south of Carlock. This
paper joins with their many friends
in extending, congratulations"
The bride is a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Young of Baldwin, Sher-
burne county, and the Union wishes
her and her husband a life of unin-
terrupted happiness.

The Blue Hill farmers club and
farm bureau unit held joint meeting
at the town hall last Tuesday evening.
A business meeting was first conduct
ed. A committee was appointed to
secure exhibits for the display at the

gram was presented which was much
enjoyed by all those present. Unfor-
tunately the musical numbers had to

organ in the hall.
Before the lunch was served large
number of pies were auctioned. The
bidding was lively and the neat sum

AS TO AUTO LAW.
Chief of Police Expected to Enforce
Requirements of the Statute
Governing Traffic.

There are still number of auto
mobiles and trucks being operated in
Detroit under 1921 license tag or
no license tag at all. We do not know
whose duty it is to enforce the auto
tax laws, but we would like very much
to see these fellows brought to time,
for it presents case of unfair dis
elimination which should be eliminat-
ed.-Detroit Record.
Speaking Of the enforcement of the
liquor laws, federal in their scope, why
not try little enforcement of the
auto tax law. Cars can be seen every
day without the 1922 tags.-Little
Falls Transcript.
This is peculiar state Of affairs,
and we would like to ask why the
police officers in these places are not
picking up the delinquents. In Prince
ton the chief of police is bringing vio-
lators of the automobile law into court
every day. His instructions are to
enforce this law, as we'll as the others
on the statute books, and he is doing
so. He is not, however, vindictive,
neither is he prosecuting offenders.
He is merely performing the duty re-
quired Of him and doing so in a gen
tlemanly manner. Many drivers, after
questioning, have been permitted to
proceed on their way for the reason
that they have produced good excuses,
but woe betide the man who uses
abusive language to the chief when in
the performance Of his duty. It will
not only mean arrest but an increased
fine.
Everyone knows that all laws are
enacted to be obeyed, and much trou-
BILE may be avoided by conforming with
the statutes.
The chief of police has given due
notice in the Union that he intends en-
forcing the traffic laws, and there
seems to be no excuse for attempting
to evade them.

To Enforce Auto Law.

Court fines and costs plus regular
taxes, penalties and arrears will be
enacted during the next ten days from
Minnesota owners Of motor vehicles
with old licenses or none at all. High
way Commissioner Babcock this week
yielded to solicitations from state Of
ficials to end the game of passing the
buck" on automobile tax law enforce
ment. He said that slackers will be
rounded up in every part of the state,
if only Gin fairness to more than 3OO,-
600 car and truck owners who have
complied with the law"
The campaign will follow hundreds
of complaints Of auto tax law evasion.

department. Special inspectors will

Of Carl Siebert for the formation of a
new school district, which would be
composed of portion of the territory

ton and Bogus Brook townships, be

tons to the legion posts in the county

pirate $25 to each of the three follow
ing legion posts: Fremont Woodcock

sen post No. 178 in Milaca, and the
post at Isle.
The board then adjourned to recon
vene again at 1880.
The first subject discussed at the
afternoon session was the question of
appointing weed inspector. It was
finally decided that it would be we'll to

hearing be granted at the next meet
ing on June 6.
A motion was passed authorizing
the county auditor to advertise fol-
bids for the construction of bridge
over Battle brook in commissioner dis
trict No. 2 on state road No. 4. This
bridge has been condemned for years
and the safety of those who must use
it demands that it be replaced.
Representative of Gates, White &
Co. and the Merchants Trust and Saw
ing Bank Of St. Paul were present and
addressed the board in regard to the
question of holding an election to vote
on the question of the county issuing
bonds to secure funds for the erection
Of court house. These gentlemen
had heard that the bond issue question
was being discussed in this county and
the attorneys for the companies they
represented had investigated the mat.
ter and had found that the bond cleo
ton could be held on the same date as
the primaries, June 10. By holding
the two elections on the same date
considerable expense could be saved

ADVERTISING PAYS.

If one were to travel through the
country and talk to farmers in gen
eral it would not be long before he
would be saying to himself, ''Why
don't the farmers advertise more?"
AS the author of this article has
Travelled around the country this ques-
ton has often confronted him. He has
discovered farmers who have been
looking for piece Of machinery or a
certain type of animal for considera-
bic length of time Not being able to
locate one in their community they
have been forced to send away tc
satisfy their wants, not knowing that
very near at hand in the possession OF
a fellow farmer was the very item fol
sale which the one farmer so badly
needed. Many times this has been dis
covered, too late to be Of any value
but had seither farmer spent a few
cents in advertising they both would
have made dollars in profit.
Much time and labor could be savcC
if farmers in general made more use
of the "Want" and "For Sale" column
of the local papers. The charge fol
local advertising is very reasonable
compared with the value received
Farmers will find no more profitable
place to make known their wants thar

DOC AND ED GO FISHING.
Return With Blistered Noses But Alst
Bring Home Two Sacks of
Speck1ed Beauties.

OpeCkleU DedutleS.
On Saturday night DR.. Cooney and
Ed Evens sailed forth into the wilds
Of Holyoke and the next day desecrat-
ed the Sabbath by angling and whip
ping the "crick" for the Elusive trout.
While the brook was raging torrent,
the boys were not discouraged, cast
their wrigglers into the stream and
awaited results. "Nothin' doin'." Not
"rise."
They waded through the swamps,
scratched their hands by coming into
contact with brambles and acquired a
luminosity on their faces that would
have put a red lantern to shame. It
wasn't so much the sun that produced
this aspect as the reflection from the
turbulent waters, which they would
persist in peering into and soaring
away the trout by their shadows.
At last Doc said, "I'm through, Ed;
the COMPOUNDED things arc not hun
cry" wait minute" replied Ed,
as he aspied ROSTERS feather hang
ing on bush. II have an idea," and
gathering in the feather, he attached
a small piece of it to his hook and
put on particularly active worm. I'm
mediately upon casting his combina-
ton bait upon the waters there was a
'srise" and trout weighing a half
pound landed. DR.. Cooney then tried
the same sort Of bait and in half on
hour, they tell us, they had landed
their legal quota, although, had a
gamewarden been around, he would
probably have compelled them to give
him the excess for his breakfast or
dragged them before justice Of the
peace to be fined. Of course this is
mere supposition on urpart.
When Doc and Ed arrived at the
depot from their trip on Monday morn
ing they possessed the appearance of
couple of lumberjacks- heavy sacks
strung over their shoulders and their
noses blistered from E:e effects Of
their jaunt in the wilderness. How
ever they rubbed their countenances
down with cold cream, busted on some
talcum powder, and were soon them
selves again, Lets go again, Doc"
said Ed.

Satisfactory Progress is Reported in

Prospects Are Bright.

congressman are being besieged by
their constituents throughout the
country by letters and kilograms for
assurances about the genuineness of
their Liberty bond holdings. Constant
repetition of charges, despite official
denials that the country is flooded with
duplicate bonds, has precipitated a
flood of inquiries. When Representa-
tive Royal Johnson of South Dakota
declared few days ago that the dupli
cate bond holdings would aggregate
100000 the inquiries began to
increase and denials from the treasury
do not stem the flow. Almost every
member of the senate and house is re-
ceiving messages from individuals and
trustees of estates who have large
holdings. All are fearful lest their
bonds may be duplicates. Members
have directed that replies be sent in
each case, quoting Secretary Mellon
as authority for the statement that
there is no flood of duplicate bonds
and that the people need have no fear
Of the value of their bonds. He has
said repeatedly that whenever a
duplicate does turn up from the lot
discovered early in the war it will be
promptly honored by the government.
Operation of the government would
be clogged without national civil
service law and a civil service COM
mission, but some Of the present en-
ployes of the government "are so
partisan and so friendly to the last adj
ministration that they do not want
this administration to be success"
Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett
declared before a mass meeting of the
national civil service reform league.
The meeting was called for the de-
clared purpose of "checking the activi-
ties of members of congress and high
government officials who seek the de-
struction Of the merit system of the
civil service" and was attended by
leaders in civil service reform move
ments from various sections Of the
country. Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor;
Moorfield Storey Of Boston, and Mrs.
Bartlett, who formerly was president
of the civil service commission, were
the principal speakers. There is alb
solutely no cause for alarm on the part

that "this present alarm is an appari-
