Princeton is to Hold Her Second
Annual Community Picnic
at Fair Grounds.
EVERY ONE IS INVITED

Picnic This Year Will be Under the
Auspices of Princeton Com
mercial Club.
On Sunday, August 13, Princeton
will have her second community picnic.
The big party is to be held at the
fair grounds; everyone in the village
and in the surrounding country is in
vited. Bring your lunch basket and
share in the fun.
Last year the County Farm Bureau
association and the Princeton Com
mercial club backed the project. This
year it is to be given Under the aus
pices of the Commercial club only,
but cordial invitation is extended to
all the people residing outside the vii
lage. The picnic is for them just as
much as it is for the residents Of the,
town. AS one member of the club ex-
pressed himself, eve have all worked
hard this summer and it looks like
good crop and big one, so let's take
day off and have some fun. All
work and no play makes Jack dull
boy There surely will be plenty of
play and fun at this harvest festival.
Don't fail to be there.''
A large delegation from Princeton
attended the farm bureau picnic at
Cove and everyone thoroughly enjoyed
himself. The Commercial club should
be able to furnish just as good enter
tainment at this community picnic.
All arrangements for the program
have not as yet been completed, but:
the committee is able to report on a..
few of the main features. A basket;
dinner will be served under the oaks !:
on the fair grounds, at noon, from ~
to 1880. Hot coffee, cream and sugar
will be furnished free to everybody.
The coffee will be served in cafeteria
style, as it was last year, and each
guest is requested to furnish his own
container and cups. Joe Leathers, the
famous lodge chef, has been engaged
to brew the Java so there is no ques--
tion but what it will be of a quality
that would satisfy the most fastidious,
epicurean.
County Agent Hammargren has se-
cured several good speakers to make
short, spicy, picnic talks for the mu-,
tual benefit of all. For the younger
folks there will be a program of
sports and races in front of the grand
stand. There will be foot races for
the boys and girls and base BALI
throwing contest for the ladies'. The
fat men Of Princeton and vicinity will
be invited to try their speed in 100
yard dash. Several of these big boys
have already started training for this
big event.
One of the chief features of the pro-
gram will be horseshoe pitching
tournament. This sport seems to be,
the rage all over the country now and
the committee in charge wants to-
have this picnic right up to date.
There will be substantial cash prize
for the winners of this tournament.
A tug of war between the town and
country is also on the program. This
trial of brawny strength should bring
out some good sport and amusement.
There will be $1,000 cash prize for
the winning team Suitable prizes
will also be offered for all the other
contests and races. A generous sub
scription list has been signed by the
business and professional men of the
village and all expenses will be paid
from this fund
The closing entertainment will be a
ball game between two good teams.
Dalbo and Princeton are scheduled at
present, but in case these teams are
not available some other local clubs
will be substituted Suffice it to say,
there will be ball game of some kind,
even if, as last resort, the old relia-~
BILE fats and leans have to be dragged
out of their shady retreats and sent,
against each other for the amusement
of the crowd
The Princeton band will be on the
grounds all day, so there will be plenty
of good music to fill in the pauses.
Every possible arrangement will be
made to entertain and amuse the
crowd. All you have to do is to come
and get your share of it. Everything
is absolutely free, except the lunch
and what little extras you care to-
purchase at the refreshment stands,
The Princeton Commercial club has
reputation Of being good entertainers.
The club cordially invites you and
will be disappointed if you don't come,
