Ringold Urges Frue Cleaning.

On account of the excessive amount
of fuel which Pendleton residents had
to burn during this cold winter, real
fire risk exists in the amount of SCOT
in flues, according to W. E. Ringold,
fire chief. The chief calls attention
to the fact that the two recent heavy
fire losses in Portland were caused by
sparks from flues. With the return
of the spring season and the high
winds which may be expected the
menaceNof fire losses is greater than
usual, the chief declares, and urges
that Pendletonians see to it that flues
are thoroughly cleaned of their depos-
Its of SCOT.

Harry Fritz of st. Cloud Teachers
College Addresses Meeting on
Subject Of Mental Tests.

Subject of Mental Tests.
The Princeton Parent-Teacher asso-
citation held it's monthly meeting last
evening in the high school assembly
room. The extremely cold weather
made it impossible for many to attend
and unfortunately only a relatively
small number of people were present
to enjoy the excellent program that
was presented.
The meeting opened with the usual
preliminary exercises and community
singing. A solo was rendered by Mrs.
George Ross. Madge Buck and WAL
ter Nelson, the two contestants who
will represent Princeton at the dis
trict declamatory contest, delivered
their readings. The principal feature
of the program of the evening was an
address by Harry Fritz of the
St. Cloud Teachers college who ap-
peared as substitute for President
C. J. Brown who was unavoidably alb
sent. Mr.. Fritz spoke on the subject
of mentality tests and presented a
most interesting but rather startling
array Of facts. He stated there are
100000 people residing in the
United States who cannot write even
a simple letter. Statistics show that
rs per cent of the criminals are
mentally defective. The program con-
cluded with song by Rev. W. G..

Systematic Advertising PAYS.

The big clearance sales at Creglow's
and Melin's, which concluded this
week, demonstrated what good sys-
tenn Of advertising will do. Although
the weather was subzero and the roads
almost impossible from snowdrifts
during the sale period, hundreds of
people managed to get in from the
country to avail themselves of the
bargains offered.
These sales were put on for Greg
low and Melin by the Kelley Sales
System of Minneapolis, L. L. Nanny
handling the sale at Creglow's and
Charles Moeberg that at Melin's. Both
these men are experts in their line
they know exactly how to handle big
propositions of this sort.
The posters used were printed and
mailed at the Union office and the
Union ran the big ads announcing the
sales. That this advertising brought
about the desired results is clearly ap-
parent from the success achieved. Mr..
Creglow and Mr.. Berggren of the AL
fred Melin Co., express much satisfac-
ton at the outcome Of their spring
stock reduction sales.

Local Boys Win; Girls Lose.

The Anoka high school boys end
girls quints came to Princeton last
Friday and engaged in battle with the
home high school quints. Both games
were intcresting-the Princeton boys
winning by score Of 10 to IL and the
girls losing by Fl to 10.
The boys game was tie until the
last quarter when the locals threw a
few shark shots and won the game.
The Princeton girls did not fare as
we'll, however. Their team work was
not as good as usual and they fell be-
fore the superior playing of Anoka.
Tomorrow night the Milaca high
school basketeers will be here and play
Princeton in the gymnasium. This
promises to be a contest worth seeing.

HARD TIME; COMMUNITY PARTY.
Civic Betterment Club Will Give a
Hard Time Party in the
Princeton ArmOry.

The Princeton Civic Betterment
club will give hard time party in
the armory on the evening of
February II. Everyone in Prince
ton and the surrounding country is in
vited. All the guests are requested
to wear their old clothes and come
prepared to have a good time. Cotton
dresses and cotton frocks will be the
popular costumes.
Every lady is asked to bring bas-
ket lunch for two. Tom Kaliher will
auction off the baskets at 9 o'clock.
No gentleman who does not buy bas-
ket will be permitted to enjoy the
amusements of the evening". In fact,
he may not be considered gentleman
if he refuses to buy one.
There will be cards and various
games for those who do not wish to
dance. After the baskets have been
auctioned, there will be dancing for
those who enjoy this form of enter
tainment, with the Virginia reel and
the old-fashioned quadrilles included
in the program.
The basket lunches will be eaten in
the dining hall of the armory where
the members of the Civic Betterment
club will serve coffee.
The proceeds Of the party will be
expended in helping the families in
this vicinity who need financial assis-
lance during the remainder of the win
ter and the coming spring. Few of US
realize how many families are in ac-
tual need right now. The members Of
the Civic Betterment club have rem
dered much assistance to many Of
these families but the good work can
not be continued without funds. Come

AUTO TAX REVISION.
Babcock and Mullen Favor New Rates
Based on Actual Car Value,
Weight and Mileage.

Based on Actual Car Value,
Weight and Mileage.
A good deal of sentiment prevails
throughout the state in favor of a re-
vison of the auto tax law and this
week Highway Commissioner Bah
cock joined the ranks of those in favor
of such revision.
The schedules not only are unsatis-
factory to the majority of car owners,
he said, but they cost the state high
way department last year $437 ,18O.
''The general complaint is not against
the amount of the taxes but is due to
a common belief that the rates are not
fair and equitable" said Mr.. Babcock.
"Scores Of people express their readi
ness to pay larger sums to get better
roads inshorter time because they are
becoming convinced that they will gain
through savings in car upkeep, tires
and gasoline in addition to the COM
forts and conveniences of good roads.
But they do object to paying more
than their fair shares"
John H. Mullen, deputy commits
sioner and chief engineer, agreed with
the position taken by Mr.. Babcock and
explained how the trunk highway fund
lost heavily in 1921 under the tax rates.
Mike Holm, secretary of state, reports
1921 collections Of $3.50, 1880 taxes
on $50, 292 cars. The average is $16.70
a car compared with $18 proposed and
approved by the vote adopting good
roads amendment No. 1 and against
the prediction during the legislative
session that the average would be near
$40 car. The average loss of $1.3O
on 1886, 292 cars curtailed the fund by
$437 ,180.
The highway executives said the de-
partment will cooperate in the move
to effect new, rates based on the actual
car value and perahps weight and
mileage, and expressed satisfaction
that the public demand is for just tax
alton and also for speeding rather than
retarding highway development un-
der the new state program.

Every number on the program was
encored.
The floor was then cleared and
young and old Joined in thewaltzes and
square dances to the music of the or
chestra directed by Clyde Cravens.
Alfonso Howard brought the house
down by calling square dances as
though it were a part Of his usual
nights routine.
The evening was certainly enjoyed
by everyone present. The supper was
good, the program was excellent and
above all the spirit Of good fellowship
prevailed that goes out when one
grasps the hand of friend from the
old home town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Owen Newton have
told the people in Princeton that they
were really missing a treat in not
attending these reunions in Mime
apolis. Next summer when the an
nual picnic supper is held our friends
in Minneapolis are very liable to be
surprised and almost put to route BY
a big delegation from Princeton
swooping down on them.

HOME TALENTPLAY
\ WELL ATTENDED
St. Edwards Dramatic Society Pre-
sents "Brother JOSIAH, CON-
edy in Three Acts.
Music BY THE ORCHESTRA
All PARTS Well Taken; Good Action
Throughout Which Holds At
tention of Audience.

St Edwards Dramatic society Mon
dav evening presented a comedy,
"Brother JOSIAH" before large audi
ence in the Princeton armory. The
members of the society are to be con-
pratula:ed on choosing play so ad-
mirably adapted for an amateur per-
Torrance and on presenting it SO
cleverly. The stage settings, while
simple, were we'll done as were also
the costumes. The whole play was
carried through successfully without
one interruption.
The high school orchestra furnished
the musical program and their selec-
lions were exceedingly well rendered
under the direction Of Mics Marguerite
. Snyder.
It would be impossible to select the
stars of the performance as every part
was played very we'll. The friends
of the amateur actors and actresses
must have been most agrecably sur
prised with the ability which they dis
played on the stage. The enunciatlon
of all the characters was good and
they could be clearly heard in every
part of the auditorium.
Josiah Armstrong and his family
furnished the humor of the comedy
which was spontaneous, refreshing and
not overdone. Louise Thompson's pre-
scntation of Josian's son was especial
w clever. Mildred Grow and Joseph
Kalihcr had rather difficult roles which
they handled very we'll. Anna Trunk
and Rhea Grow carried off their parts
as well as many professionals. 1t was
Mrs. A. M. NorEnandjn in the role of
Josiah's wife who created the real old
fashioned, homclike atmosphere that
seemed to envelop her family and the
audience keenly appreciated the scene
where the little woman finally gave
way to grief. V. P. Coursolle as the
wealthy farmer put just enough humor
into his role, keeping it at all times
from descending to the plane OF
burlesque. Peter Kult in the role OF
the extravaganza broker made his at
titude and gestures expressive Of the
anxiety and mental strain under which
he was laboring.
The butler, Ralph Tice, and the
other men of the cast, Jordan Courteau
and George Kaliher did full justice to
their roles.
Mrs. William Gfrerer who directed
the production of the comedy deserves
much credit for the success Of the
performance.

Evening Grosbeaks Visit Us.


Evening grosbeaks, in a large flock,
are visitors in our village this week.
These beautiful little fellows are resi-
dents of Manitoba and northward, and
only visit us occasionally in winter to
feed upon the boxelders and other
trees upon which can still be found
seeds. They are about two inches
shorter than the robin and have short,
thick bills. The males are a bright
yellow with black and white wings,
while the females are more soberly
clad. The male has a shrill note,
somewhat resembling that of the robin
and the females keep up busy chat
ter like company of cedar birds.
They are very friendly, tame little
birds, seeming to know that they are
especially welcome during the season
when birds are scarce.

ANNUAL WINTER REUNION.
Three Hundred Former Princeton Res

Minneap0lis.
MINNEAPOLIS.

On Saturday evening, February II,
approximately 300 former Princeton
residents assembled at Eagle hall,
sol East Hennepin avenue, Minneap-
oils, for the annual winter reunion.
Supper was served from 600 to 500
and bountiful meal it was. All
mingled in exchanging greetings and
visiting with friends who would per-
haps not meet for many months if it
were not for these reunions. -a
Harry Pratt's jovial countenance
was in evidence for he and Mrs. Pratt
had driven their trusty Cherovlet 40
miles through snow and ice to be
present at the big family gathering.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alfonso Howard, Mr..
and Mrs. Owen Newton and Mrs.
Daisy Mudgett were the only Prince
ton residents who were present.
Following the supper and social in
termingling,, delightful program
was rendered. Serenius P. Skahen as
master of ceremonies introduced the
various entertainers in a most clever
and pleasing manner. The program
was as follows: .-
