harmonious meeting. There was nc
friction between different factions as
some Of the reports in the daily papers
might have led one to believe. He
stated there was no contest for the
presidency because James Howard, the
retiring president, was not candidate
for reelection.
There was some discussion concern-
ing the war finance and the rural
credit loans. .
1t was voted to suggest February z
as a tentative date for the joint meet
ing in Princeton armory with the

held March at the home of Mr.. and

A resolution was passed protesting
against the much discussed distribu-

Lyceum Concert Tomorrow Night.
The Mendelssohn Musical club, which
will be here tomorrow to give the third
number on the lyceum course, was in
Princeton last winter and all wEo
heard its renditions were unstinted in
their praise. It is splendid musical
organization of the order that we in
small towns are nor often privileged
to hear.
There are six members in the club
a f1utist, a cornetist, two violinists, a
celloist and pianist and reader.
Their concerts are pleasing to all, for
while they play only good music, their
selections are not of the classical or
der which is beyond the appreciation
of the general public. w.

Reception for: Teachers.

On Saturday evening of this week
there will be held in the auditorium
Of the high school reception to the
teachers Of the Princeton public
schools. This reception is to be given
under the auspices Of the Civic Better
ment club and the general public is
cordially invited to attend. We should
all meet and know the teachers, who
spend 50 large part Of their time in
our community, and this reception is
given that all may have that oppor-
tunity.
It is regrettable that this reception
could not have been given earlier in
the school year, but, on account Of the
many activities during the fall, it was
impossible to secure an earlier date
It is planned to have this affair as in
formal as possible and all who attend
are assured of good time.

POTATO PRICES HIGHER.
Increased Movement From Grower to
Buyer Consequent Upon Ad-
vance of Quotations,

AnCIedSeQ movement FROM CrOWer TO
Buyer Consequent Upon Ad-
vance of Quotations.
Advance in price for potatoes of all
varieties is shown in the Princeton po-
tato market today-even Ohios, which
held stationary figure for long time
at 60 to IS cents per cwt, have jumped
to 80 cents and ST.. There has been an
increase of from 20 to 40 cents a
cwt since last weeks quotations were
printed according to the variety. This
shows a stronger Local t:.arket than
has prevailed for months and it has
naturally caused a heavier movement
from the growers to the warehouse
men. The cold weather of the past
few days of course somewhat re-
tarded this movement, but many loads
have been coming in-not rush, to
be sure, but a great improvement
over previous weeks.
The outside demand is not at this
time heavy, but greater activity is cx-
pected in the big potato markets, and
this will consequently accelerate ship
ments. About 10 carloads have left
this point the past seven days.

the purpose of the meeting was to
consider and discuss :: proposed ex-
tension of the water mains and sewer
system of the village and placing the
main street Of the village in such
shape that, if it should be paved in the
near future as part Of the Scenic high
way, all water mains, sewers and con-
nections Herewith would be in good
shape and thus render it unnecessary
to tear up the pavement for doing this
work afterwards.
The engineering firm of Schaffer &
Co. of Minneapolis had two represen-
tatives present to explain a proposed
extension to the village water mains
and to- answer all questions asked by
those present relative to the same.
The whole situation was thoroughly
discussed by those present and, on
motion, the matter was laid over for
final action to the next regular meet
ing Of the club, to be held on January
II, 1922. res~~.

FATHER AND SON BANQUET.
Members of the Princeton Commercial
Club Will Entertain the Boys
at Banquet Jan. 80.

The members Of the Princeton Com
mercial club are making arrangements
to entertain the boys of the village at
father and son banquet on the even
ing of January 80. The American Le-
gion auxiliary will serve the banquet
and that means there will be no dearth
of tempting dishes. It is planned to
serve approximately 200 guests, but
if the members can get hold of enough
boys, this number may be increased.
It seems that number of the men,
bers of the club are blessed with only
daughters while others, as Odin Ode
gard and DR.. McRae, fear that their
sons and heirs, while undoubtedly per-
fectly capable of highly enjoying such
an affair, would hardly appreciate it's
significance. However, the members
of our Commercial club are altogether
too progressive to be daunted by such
a slight handicap and they intend to
adopt sons for that evening. Billy
Doane and Ira Stanley and a few
other members have kindly consented
to come to the rescue of their friends
and according to the present outlook
every man will be there with at least
one son. It is reported that Ed. Evens
intends to be present as the proud
father Of five boys.
After the banquet there will be some
interesting short talks by a few of
our local men and then the remainder
of the evening will be devoted to
sports as indoor baseball or volleyball.
The boys band will furnish the music
