Bonus Board to Dishand

Officials of the Minnesota soldiers
bonus board are making preparations
to sing their "swan song" at midnight
of June 30 next, when the board legal
ly passes out of existence.
The board was authorized by an act
passed at the special session of the
legislature in 1919, which permitted
its functioning until June 30. The board
has received 1895 applications for
claims from former soldiers, and pay
ments during the Same period amount
ed to 100000, according to report
under preparation by Joseph O'Brien,
executive officer of the board. The
first bonus payment, Mr.. O'Brien said,
was made in February, 1920, exactly
five months after the new department
commenced activities.

TO HOLD CLINIC AT PEASE.
An Infants and Children's Clinic Will
be Held at Pea,se on June s.;

Lecture to BE Given.
On June children's and infants
clinic will be conducted at Pcase. DR..
OFT of Minneapolis, a child specialist,
will be the physician in attendance
The clinic is conducted under the
auspices of the Minnesota Public
Health association assisted by the Red
Cross.
Each child is given, free of charge,
a thorough examination. The special
ist will tell you the exact condition of
your child, suggest the diet, make the
diagnosis, and leave to the parents the
choice Of any doctor they may desire
to do any prescribing or give the
treatment that may be necessary fQc
the child
The clinics are established for the
purpose of keeping we'll babies we'll
and for discovering slight physical i'm
PROJECTIONS which, if not corrected in
time, might become permanent de-
fects. Only about twenty per cent Of
all babies are perfect, and during in
fancy, we are told, is the best time
for the correction Of their defects.
The specialist will also examine
children of school age. The child's
weight for his height and age is the
best index of his general health. For
every child of a certain height and age
there is normal weight. Any child
who is from seven to ten pounds be-
low the normal weight is called NAL
nourished.
Malnutrition brings lack of vitality
and loss Of ambition. It often makes
an ill-tempered and lazy child out of
one who could be cheerful and active.
If your boys and girls are below the
standard weight for their height and
age, bring them to the infants and
children's clinic and hear the physician
explain what each particular child
must do to bring up his weight and
grow to be strong and happy. No fees
are charged. It is through the sale of
Christmas seals that the clinic is made
possible.
A public health lecture will be given
in the evening at the church. Every
| one is invited to attend.

was for some time attended as mis-
sion.
The chaplains to the Rt. Rev. Pre-

The choir Of the Holy Cross church,
together with Rev. Sebastian Sekir-
mers of Osakis, Rev. Jos. Snyder Of
Brandon and Rev. J. van der Nicer,
missionary of the Crosicr Fathers at
Onamia, rendered a beautiful Georgian
mass. At the conclusion of the high
mass the Rt. Rev. Bishop of st. Cloud
delivered very impressive sermon ex-
planning the meaning of the days
ceremonies.
Then, in procession, and while sing
ing the Litany of All Saints, the con-
gregation conducted the clergy, the
prelates and the Rt. Rev. Bishop of
St. Cloud to the building site, where,
after reading the document to be en-
closed in the cornerstone, the bishop
proceeded with the ritual and read the
prayers therein prescribed for the oc-
casion.
At the conclusion of the church
celebration the bishop and visiting
clergy were guests of the congregation
and proceeded to the hall in the pa
rochial school, where the ladies Of the
parish served a bountcous dinner.
The construction of the new build
ing, which will be in the Dutch re-
naissance syle, is proceeding nicely,
and in September the fathers hope to
be able to occupy their new quarters.
The monastery will also serve as a
college for limited number of young
men who desire to enter the order.

Odegard Found Not Guilty.

Odin Odegard, who was charged
with running the engine Of one of his
cars on the street without an atten-
dant, demanded jury trial and the
case came up before Justice King on
Monday. Sheriff Shockley drew the
jury panel the preceding Saturday
and six women were included in the

after celebrating less than three min
utes, returned verdict Of not guilty.

the village Of Princeton while Attor-
ney E. L. Mcmillan was counsel for

George A. Presley, a well-known
druggist who formerly lived in Prince
ton, took his life by shooting himself
at his home in Milaca last Friday.
Deceased was suffering from cancer
of the bronchial tubes with no possible
chance of cure, so there is really some

POPPY DAY.
Campfire Girls to Canvass Village;
Members of Auxiliary Will Sell
Flowers Saturday.

Next Saturday is poppy day and
every man and woman in this village
should buy one Of the crimson flowers
to wear on Memorial day in honor of
our men who paid the fearful price
for victory in the great world war.
Those men literally died for us, and
in their memory we wear the brilliant
crimson flower which covers the fields
of Flanders where thousands made the
great sacrifice.
The red peoples that will be sold
here in Princeton Saturday and in
hundreds of cities and villages in this
country are made by the sick and dis
ablcd soldiers. All the proceeds from
the sale of these flowers will go to
those wounded veterans. Thus in
purchasing the poppies you are not
only helping to perpetuate a beautiful
custom but are encouraging the dis
abled soldiers in earning a little
money and are showing them that
they are not forgotten.
If we are to keep faith with the
boys who died in our training camps
and on the fields of Flanders, We must
minister to the needs of their sur
viving, and possibly less fortunate,
comrades who are forced to face the
future shattered in body or mind. It
is a privilege to Lave the opportunity
to wear these flowers which they have
made for us.
The campfire girls who will sell the
peoples will canvass the village Fri
day and Saturday. Saturday evening
they will be sold on the streets by a
number of auxiliary members.

PAY TRIBUTE TO
OUR WAR HEROES
Tuesday is Memorial Day; Observe
1t Appropriately as the Ma
TONS Remembrance Day.
HONOR FALLEN WARRIORS
Wear a Sprig OF Evergreen for. the
Old Soldiers and Red Pop
ply for the Legionaires.

we are on the eve OF another Me-
mortal day-to be exact the date for
honoring our heroes Of the many
wars in which the United States has
been called upon to participate falls
on Tuesday of next week. There is
no occasion for reiterating the old
story-going into details-for every
one is familiar, or should be, with
the significance of the day. But,
lest you forget, wear a sprig Of ever
green in honor Of the heroes of the
civil war and red poppy-the me-
mortal emblem of the American le-
gion-in honor of those who engaged
in the European conflict. The ma
TONS Memorial day should be oh
served with due propriety, and in it's
observance we must not forget to pay
tribute to those who have sacrificed
their lives in the war of the rebellion,
the Spanish-Amcrican wcr, and last,
but not least, the war in Europe in
which our men were engaged and
which shook the very foundation of
the globe. How much we owe those
brave boys is incalculable-im
urable. The debt is one that can never
be repaid. Then, again, there are the
Red Cross nurses and members of
other beneficient organizations who
were cut down while ministering to
the wounded and alleviating the suf-
fering Of the boys on the bloody fields
of battle. It is our duty as Ameri-
can citizens to pay homage to all of
them. And here We wish to emphasize
the point that field sports and other
amusements should not be permitted
to mar or desecrate the solemnity of
this day Of days. It should be de-
voted entirely to reverence for the
dead heroes and the veterans we have
still with us-those who escaped with
their lives, many of them suffering
from bullet wounds and the effects of
poison gas. Let us pay tribute to
them all.
Old soldiers will meet at the T.
H. Galley residence next Tuesday d.
rectly after dinner and will march
(or ride), headed by the Jones drum
corps and escorted by squad of le-
gionaires, to the armory, where at 2
p. M, the following program will be
presented with E. L. Mcmillan as
chairman:
Selections by the band.
Song, "Columbia," by audience.
Invocation.
Vocal selection by high school
classes.
Introduction of speaker by chair
man.
Address by Rev. w. E. Dudley of
Minneapolis.
Vocal selection by high school
classes.
Song, "America," by congregation.
Benediction.
At the conclusion of these obser-
vances procession will be formed
and the march to the cemetery COM
meme. Automobiles will be provided
for the conveyance of the old soldiers
and their wives.
At Oak Knoll cemetery the cere-
monies will be conducted in accordance
with the ritual of the Grand Army of
the Republic and the graves of de-
parted heroes decorated with national
flags and the fair blossoms of the
springtime.

MANURE WILL HELP PASTURE
Top Dressing Often viii Bring About
Improvement Where Grasses
Are UndeVeIoped.

When pasture begins to fail 1t may
often be improved without ploughing
by topdresslng the land literally with
barnyard manure or acid phosphate
with lime. This is usually the case
where the pasture has plenty Of the
good pasture grasses which, however,
are poor and undeveloped. A top
dressing on such pasture will not
only bring good crop of grass in
two Or three years but also drive out
some Of the weeds that overrun the
rundown pasture lands. This top
dressing will be better than reseedlng
where the soil ls exhausted.
Where there is a decided dearth Of
good grasses, liberal applications Of
manure may be combined with plOw-
ing and reseedlng. Where 1t Is neces.
sary to plow as well as topdress with
a manure and fertilizer, It is q good
idea to grow crop Of potatoes or oats
or perhaps buckwheat. Such a crop
will pay the cost of reseeding, then
the following year a good crop of hay
can be taken off, and after that good
pasturage may be had for many years.

The Mardi Gras Mystery

that, when he lay there by the rivu-
let, he had actually heard the last
words uttered by the sheriff; that Cha
cherre had committed the murder In
that mOment-a nolseless, deadly stab
That Hammond could or would have
done 1t he knew was absurd.
They found the murdered man lying
among the bushes. He had been
stabbed under the fifth rib-the knife
had gone direct to the heart. Cha
cherre announced that he had Ham
mond's knife as evidence and Gramont
merely nodded his head.
Lifting the body between them,
they bore 1t back to the barn.
"NOw," said Gramont, quickly, "Pm
off for Houma--if l don't miss my
road! You men will be right along"
I'm a jlffy," said Chacherre promptly.
Gramont climbed into his car and
drove away. He had no fear Of any
thing happening to Hammond; the
evidence against the latter was damn
ing, and with three men to swear him
into q hangman's moose, they would
bring him to Jail safe enough.
"a clever devil, that Chacherre "
he thought, grimly, Were up against
a gang, beyond any doubt. Now, If
they don't suspect me-"
He turned in at the Ledanols gate,
knowing himself to be beyond sight or
hearing Of the Gumberts place. He
drove the car away from the house,
and into the thick of the densest
bush-grOwth that he could find, where
1t was well concealed from sight.
Then, on foot, he made his way along
the bank Of the bayou until he had
come to the rivulet where oil showed.
Here he paused, concealing himself
and gaining place where he could
get view Of the Gumberts land. He
saw Chacherre and Hammond there be-
side the body of the sheriff; the other
two men were swinging open the barn
door. They disappeared inside, and
a moment later GramOnt heard the
whlrr Of an engine starting. A car
backed into the yard and halted.
The three men lifted the body Of the
sheriff into the tonneau. Chacherre
took the wheel, Hammond being bun
died in beside him. The other two men
climbed in beside the body, rifles In
hand. Chacherre started the car to-
ward the road.
"All fne!" thought Gramont with
thrill Of exultation. They've cleared
out and left the place to me-and I
want look at that place"
Suddenly, as he stood there, he re-
membered the slight plump" that he
had heard during that intermlnable
silence which had followed the con-
versatiOn between the sheriff and Ben
Chacherre. 1t was sound as though
something had fallen near him In the
soggy ground.
The remembrance startled him
strangely. He visualized an excited
murderer standing beside his victim,
knife In hand; he visuallzed the abhor-
renee which must have seized the man
