PRINCETON LIBRARY
SERVES WHOLE COUNTY
Number of Volumes Greatly Increased
During Year; Best Fiction
kent on Shelves.

Kept on Shelves.
During the past year, the number
of volumes in the Princeton library
has been increased by 461. Four
thousand more books were circulated
than in the previous year.
The report of the library commit
tee submitted for the year ending in
July, 1922, is most encouraging. Dur
ing the year the number Of volumes
purchased was AIT and the number
donated was "A, thus making a total
addition Of 461. After the books that
were worn out had been discarded,
there was a total Of 2,640 volumes.
This number does not include the
books owned by the school. The total
number of books checked out by the
library's patrons during the year was
1910, an increase of 1000 over last
years record.
Twenty nine of the best periodi-
Gals are kept on the tables. The cur
rent numbers are kept in the library,
but the public has the privilege of
checking out any of the other num-
bers.
The latest fiction is placed on a
separate shelf and rented for five
cents week. This shelf is nearly al
ways empty and there generally is a
long waiting list.
The library serves not only the vii
lage but residents from all sections
of the county and many residing in
adjoining counties. More than 124
cards are held by out-of-town patrons.
Magazines for reference are mailed to
anyone who makes application. The
county teachers within a radius of
many miles use the books and refer
ence articles.
The library is open every afternoon
except Sunday from to and on
Saturday from z to 9.
The school board furnishes the
room, light and heat and pays half Of
the librarians salary. The library
board buys the books and meets all
other expenses. This year the board
received $50 in currency from indi-
vidiuals who are much interested in
the work of the library.
The report submitted to the public
would not be complete if mention were
not made of the librarian, Mrs. Lulu
Owens. 1t is seldom that library
the size of the one in Princeton is so
fortunate as to secure the services of
a woman who is SO well prepared to
handle her work and who gives it as
much attention as does Mrs. Owens.

ELECTION DAY
is APPROACHING.
Sample County and State Ballots Are
Printed in This Issue Of
the Union.
EVERY VOTE IS NEEDED
All Voters Should Study the Consti-
tutional Amendments to be
Submitted.

There seems to be a general lack Of
interest n the coming election. While
excitement is not needed, it is to be
hoped that all the voters, especially
the women, are giving the general
election sufficient attention. Our gov
ernment is just exactly what the peo-
pie in this country make it. Every
voter has a high privilege and re-
sponsibility, he has voice in the gov
ernment. No man or woman can cast
but one ballot, and no mans ballot
counts for more no less than his
neighbors. While the ballot a man
casts may be only one in thousand
or million, if he is the right sort of
citizen, he would not give up that
vote for any consideration that could
be offered him.
The women are especially urged to
save the sample ballots published in
this issue Of the Union. Any voters
who are not familiar with the candi-
dates have ample time between now
and November to make inquiries
concerning them. If these candidates
have any announcements to make, lis
ten to them or read what they have
to say and form your estimate of the
man or woman.
Two amendments to the state con-
stitution are submitted to the voters
at the coming election. One of them,
the rural credits amendment, is very
important. Any amendment to be
carried must receive majority of the
votes cast. If a voter neglects to
mark his ballot he really votes against
the amendment.
: Now is the time to devote some at
tention to public affairs. None of US
will be able to change the results af-
ter November z.

Real, snappy, first-class entertain

of Princeton and the surrounding
country on the evening of November
10. The legion boys are going to
stage carnival in the armory. Ac-
cording to all accounts it will be a
show worth seeing.
If you want some real fun, be at
the armory when the big carnival ap-
pears. There will be a chamber of
horrors, a laughing gallery, booths of
every type and any amount of amuse-
ments including dancing. Further
particulars will appear later.

Housewives Should Buy Potatoes.

Housewives Should Buy Potatoes.
The department of agriculture is
urging the housewives in all sections
of the country to buy their winters
supply of potatoes now. By so doing
they will help the producers and will
probably be effecting considerable
saving for themselves, because pota-
toes are now being sold at very
low price.
It is estimated that the United
States this year produced 10000, ,OOO,-
900 more bushels of potatoes than are
normally consumed during the season.
The markets are therefore glutted and
only an increase in the demand will re-
lieve the situation. The outlook is ex-
ceedingly discouraging to the pro-
ducers, and little cooperation from
the consuming public will be appre-
ciated.
The thrifty housewife in a village
the size of Princeton has the oppor-
tunity to buy to advantage now and
secure her winters supply of pota-
toes, onions, squash and other vege-
tables. 1t is wise plan to start the
winter with a well-stocked cellar.

THIEF RETREATS
IN DISORDER
Midnight Prowler Enters Galley Hard
ware Store With Intent to
Steal but is Discovered.
RETURNS ALL HIS PLUMBER
Cautious Burglar Becomes Fright
ened and Makes Hasty Exit
Through Basement.

AL oI1SAAAPGSO OAASAa was APIS0
in the bud last Tuesday evening when
a midnight prowler was discovered in
the Galley Hardware store. Fearing
detection he fled when the light was
turned in his direction and beat a
hasty retreat through the rear portion
of the building and made his escape
through a window in the basement.
Clair Galley was sitting in the office
at his desk at about II o'clock on
Tuesday night when he heard slight
sound in the front of the store. At
first he thought that rat was abroad
but, to investigate, he arose and
turned the lamp in the direction of the,
sound. As he did so, the light fell on
the form Of man gliding by the Of
fee toward the back of the store.
Clair started in pursuit Of the thief
who fled in mad haste. He evidently
was greatly excited as he fumbled
wildly with the doors separating the
two rooms at the rear of the store,
finally succeeded in opening them and
dashed into pipe bracket loaded with
rake teeth which he knocked off from
the wall, tripped over a stove truck,
threw aside the heavy wooden bar
closing the stairway and fairly slid
down the stairs into the basement.
From there he made his escape, as
he evidently had his entrance, through
a window facing the south. The wire
screening over the window had been
pried up at one corner. The wild dis
order that the thief created in his
fight testified to the fact that he was
thoroughly frightened. One thing he
neglected to do as he fled was to
throw away his plunder, but he ad-
justed this matter as quickly as pos
sible on the following morning.
At about 8:15 on Wednesday morn
ing, man walked into the postoffice
and dropped in the package slot
paper bag containing some heavy ar
ticles. Everyone in the post office
happened to be engaged just at that
time and took no notice of the man.
Henry Milbraith's attention was i'm
mediately attracted by the sack which
was an unusual sort of a package to
deposit in that manner. In looking
into it he found it contained three re-
volvers, the handle of a screw driver,
a pair of pinchers and a note ad-
dressed to the Galley Hardware COM
pany.
The would-be thief had returned all
of his plunder and note stating that
he sincerely regretted his rash act of
the previous evening. He asked that
no proceedings be started against him.
The Galley Hardware company feels
that the mans repentance is sincere
and have very charitably decided to
drop the matter.
