The High School Athletic associa-
ton has made arrangements for a
Christmas movie program to be pre-
sented in the school auditorium to-
night. The films will be shown by a
skilled operator from Minneapolis who
brings his own machine.
The three chief features will be
"The Birth Of Christ and the Coming
of the Wise Men," "Children's Hour"
and Faith of Sunny JIM" There will
also be two short films on special ed
ucational topics. The whole program
will be particularly high class and
will be we'll done mechanically.
The high school students have spon-
sored this entertainment as a worthy
civic project and for the purpose of
raising funds to meet bills that must
be paid Immediately. The price of
admission for children is 10 cents and
for adults it is Is cents. Come if you
can, but if you cannot be present, by
all means see that the children have

her energies to plain sewing and gos-
sip was much appreciated. This part
also might easily have been overdone,
but Miss Reah Grow cleverly main
tanned the role above the plane of the
ridiculous and still lost none of the
humor of the part.
Elwood Cleasby, as Brother Jonah
Quackenbush, Jordan Courteau as
Enoch Rome, the outcast and wanderer
who retrieved himself, John Dugan as
the county sheriff, and Henry Smith
as the elder brother, Charley, did full
justice to their roles. The other two
more subordinate parts we're we'll

an amusing widder's mite and Miss
Majorie Buck we'll portrayed all the

During the intermissions the village
choir entertained the audience with

All those in the cast and Father
Mayer, who directed the play, can
have the satisfaction of knowing the
drama was skillfully presented and

WILL COMPLETE
CREAMERY SOON
Cooperative Creamery is Finest
Structure in Business Section and
Great Addition to Village.
EQUIPMENT TO BE BEST
Finishing is Being Pushed Rapidly
Local Contractors Have Handled
Work Satisfactorily.

On May 10 the contracts for con-
structing and equipping the Princeton
Cooperative creamery were awarded.
A. O. Egge of Princeton was the con-
tractor employed for the general con-
struction Of the building. Work was
soon commenced and progressed rapid
ly. The structure is now nearing COM
pletion and it undoubtedly presents
the best appearance Of any building in
the business section Of the village.
Not only the members of the Coop
erative creamery company but every
resident in the village should take
great pride in the structure.
The building is two stories high and
is constructed Of rough brick and
stone. Great care was exercised in
selecting the materials and expense
was not spared in securing those of
good quality. The structure, there
fore, presents very fine appearance
It's dimensions are Sc by &c feet.
Although the building will not be
complete before tho middle of next
month, the steam heating plant has
been in operation for some time and
the workmen are now putting on the
finishing touches in decorating the
walls of the interior on the first floor.
The greater part of the first floor is
occupied by the work room. Here will
be placed the two churns and the five
watts. The floor is of cement and slopes
toward the center where the drain is
situated, with a drop of 3-8 of an
inch per foot. The walls to a height
of about four feet have a wainscot of
enamel brick. The room is equipped
with a most complete ventilating sys-
tenn of large fues and electric blowers
which certainly should keep the air
absolutely pure.
On the west side of the workroon
are the office, laboratory, storage
room, egg candleing booths, stairs and
elevator. Communicating with the Of
flee is a good-sized vault.

Mrs. Martin Stens0n.

Mrs. Martin Stenson passed away
at her home in St. Joseph's hospital,
Minneapolis on Wednesday, December
13, at 5 p. m. Just two days previous
to her death Mrs. Stenson had under
gone an operation for gall stones and
appendicitis. Her death resulted from
pneumonia which she contracted after
the operation.
The body was brought home on Fri

cemetery.
Olga Olive Bergstrom was born on
August %, 1884, in St. Peter. She
lived in Chicago several years and
later moved to Minneapolis. By her
first marriage she had one son, Lloyd
Morrell.
On January 19, 1919, she married
Martin Stenson and from that time un
til her death resided with him on his
farm in Santiago. Mrs. Stenson had
not been well for many months. The
members of her family realized that
her condition was serious, but her sud-
den death came as a great shock to
them. All her relatives and many
friends mourn her untimely departure
from this world.
She is survived by her husband; her
son by her first marriage, Lloyd Nor
rell; her brother, John Bergstrom of
Blue Hill; one sister, Mrs. Charles
Lila of Waterville, Minn.; and a

to an appreciative audience in the
Princeton armory. The society has
achieved quite reputation and every
seat in the auditorium was filled. It
is seldom that a home talent play is
presented as we'll as was the drama
Friday evening. The amateur actors
displayed remarkable skill in inter
preting their roles.
Miss Mildred Grow and Ear
Branchaud played the leading parts
as Auntie Deb and Jerry. While the
role of Deborah must have been rather
difficult for a sprightly young lady tc
handle, who is not professional, Miss
Crows Interpretation was exceptional
ly fine. She brought home to the au-
dience most forcibly the moral of the
play.
Earl Branchaud as jeremiah Cos.
ling contributed the much needed hu.
NOR to relieve the pathos Of the pro.
duction. Jerry was the embodiment
of a merry heart and his presentation
Of the role was most refreshing. His
part. could easily have been overplayec
but Mr.. Branchaud displayed real
finesse in handling it.
Miss Dotty Grow as Gloriana
Perkins was the little maid whose un.
faltering loyalty to Aunt Deb won the
hearts of all. The audience was also
much in sympathy with John, the
prodigal son, whose real worth and
strength of character were evident
even in the first scene. Neil Grow put
just the right amount of reserve into
this part.
Mrs. Neil Grow as Widder Pindle
and her choir furnished one of the
most amusing features Of the per.
formance. The costumes of the choir
were perfect and were a credit tc
those who assembled the wardrobe.

TO RECOMMEND
BOND ISSUE
Babc0ck Gives Reasons for Advocat.
ing State Bond Issue to be Rec
commended to Legislature.

Minnesota is paying now for the
roads Of yesterday, today and tomor-
row.
Funds of 1922 are being used for
many highway improvements which
should have been made in past years
and which will serve for many future
years as much or more than at the
present time.
Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, in a public statement
yesterday, made plain that to correct
this condition is the main purpose of
the proposal for first state highway
bond issues to be recommended by the
state highway department to the in
coming legislature.
15The recommendation is aimed sole
ly to give fairer share of highway
benefits for the taxes being paid now,
which can be done only through the
bond method," said Commissioner
Babcock. "We cannot avoid paying
now for road improvements which
should have been made long ago, but
we can justly pass on to future years
a fair portion Of permanent highway
betterments many Of which will last
for all time"
Official records show that nearly
1900 miles Of grading, some 80 miles
Of paving, several expensive bridges
and other lasting improvements took
nearly half, 40 per cent to be more
nearly exact, of the 1922 trunk high
way construction fund. Highway Of
fcials pointed out that the future
should share in the payment as we'll as
the benefits.
Commissioner Babcock repeated
that the highway bond recommended
tions are in line with lower taxation.
"With taxes becoming burdensome,"
he said, "there is only greater reason
for letting the future pay for
it's share Of highway improvements in
proportion to the use and profit it will
derive. Better roads reduce the costs
of farm transportation and motor We
hicle operation and pay for themselves
many times over. Bonds will provide
immediate improvements which will
stop big drains on the public pocket
book, indirect drains due to inadequate
roads which run into large figures
annually. It is simple economy. Prac-
tical tests show that possible savings
on gasoline and tires would pay for
paving the 7,000-mile trunk system in
a few years and the highway depart
ment is urging that the public put into
good roads only the money for a part
of it which otherwise must be spent
for extra tires and gasoline and car
upkeep items"
The commissioner again pointed out
that bond interest and principal can be
paid only with motor vehicle tax re-
ceipts and federal aid and that the
bond plan will not interfere with road
tax reductions started when the state
took over the improvement and main
tenance Of the artificial highways.

The men who have directed the con-
struction of the building have been
looking to the future and have wisely
made provision for the creamery to
handle eggs on a large scale. They
have Incorporated into their plans the
candleing booths and an egg refrig-
orator. This egg refrigerator in the
northwest corner Of the building ad-
joins the butter refrigerator and if
necessary could also be used for but
ter at any time. The walls Of these
refrigerator rooms are packed with six
inches Of cork which serves as an ex-
cellent insulation.
On the north side of the work room
is the engine and boiler room. The
we'll is in this room and the ice manu-
featuring machine is to. be installed
there. -
At the east of the work room, at an
elevation of about three feet, are the
receiving and test rooms. These
rooms also have the cement floor and
the enamel brick wainscot. A con-
veyor has been installed to carry the
cans from the outside, through the re-
ceiving room to the pier in the drive
way at the southeastern corner Of the
building. A small refrigerator has
been placed in the receiving room for
the convenience of those patrons who
wish to be supplied with butter,
Under the receiving and test rooms
is the fuel room where little more
than one carload Of coal can be stored.
On the second floor are three large
tanks. One Of these is for fresh wa
ter, one for waste water, and the third
one is for buttermilk. The greater
part of the remainder of the space
will be utilized for storage.
The building is as nearly freproof
as it is possible to construct it.
It will be red-letter day for Prince
ton and the surrounding country when
the new creamery is finally dedicated.
