BAND CONCERT IS {.
:. :: ACR {. SUCCESS ), ( ( T S
Concert at High School Auditorium On
Monday Presented in Ex- =.
80 cellent Manner. :.,'.@
BOYS PLAY SPLENDIDLY
Professor Cason, the Instructor,
Whips Raw Material Into "
Shape I'M Short Time.

+ Princeton's reorganized band gave
it's first public concert at the high
school auditorium on Monday evening
and an appreciative audience listened
to the excellent rendition of the num-
bers on the program. Under the tute-
lage of. Professor Cason the organiza-
ton has been brought up to a point
where it is credit to the village. It
must be remembered that many of the
boys-the younger ones in the band
did not begin taking lessons until last
fall. Hence, Monday nights concert
demonstrates the remarkable strides
they have made. But they possess the
talent and they have worked hard.
Let us appreciate their achievements.
The program presented on Monday
night was not a long one, but it was
made up Of numbers selected for the
purpose of pleasing varied tastes and,
from the plaudits of the audience, it
evidently accomplished that end.
There were both classical and popular
numbers, and Douglas Ames rendered
a solo in his characteristic and inin1it-
| able manner which was encored. Then
there was the "Hassenpheffer" COM
edy, which added pepper, salt and
things to the program.
The band boys should receive more
than modicum of praise and en-
couragcmcnt for their ACCOMPLISH
ment.
The band is both a citizens and
school organization. The school board
appropriates about $400 year to the
support of the band and the perfor-
nance Monday evening demonstrated
that the money was being wisely ex-
pended. The people in Princeton
should wake up to the fact that a
musical organization is being de-
veloped here which is going to be a
credit to the town. When the next
concert is given, which will probably
be some time in March, the hall should
be packed to the doors. Get back of
the boys and give them the support
they deserve.
l. We must not, however, forget Pro.
essor Cason, the organizations in
structor. He has labored patiently to
bring the boys up to their present
standard of excellence and he is en-
titled to the thanks Of the people OF
Princeton.

COUNTY BOARD in
REGULAR SESSION
Bond Issue of $4,000, Sold to the
Merchants Trust Company to-
be Taken Over by State.
TO TAKE UP WARRANTS
County Attorney Instructed to Pre-
= pare Resolution. as to Court
House Erection Bonds.

Mile Laos county board of commits
sioners met in Milaca on Tuesday and
about the only matters which came up
for consideration were bond issues-it
was virtually bond issue session. All
members were in attendance and here
under is given a synopsis of the pro-
ceedings:
A bond issue of 1000 was-sold to
the Merchants Trust company Of St.
Paul at premium Of $276, the bonds
to draw per cent interest and the
trust company to pay the cost Of issu-
ing the bonds and for the attorneys
opinion in regard to the validity of the
issue. These bonds were issued *un-
der the 1921 law and will be taken
over and paid by the state of Mime
sofa, together with the interest on the:
same. This is to reimburse the coun-
ty for part of the money expended on
the Scenic highway.
The board passed resolution au-
thorizing the sale Of county bonds in
the sum of $125, 900, which will be is
sued for the purpose Of taking up out
standing warrants. The date of sale
was set for March Y and the audi
tor instructed to give proper pub
lished notice for the sale. At the
present time these outstanding war;
rants are drawing interest at 6 per
cent, and the way the bond market is
now these bonds stand good show Of
being sold at a premium and rate
Of interest not to exceed 5k, so there
would be substantial saving for the:
county by turning them into a bond
issue.
The county attorney was instructed
to look up the law and prepare a.
proper resolution for the purpose Of
submitting to the voters Of Mile Laos
county bond proposition. This pro-
posed bond issue will be for the pur-
pose Of erecting and equipping court
house at Milaca and the election will,
in all probability, be held some time
this spring. The amount of the issue.
will be determined at the next meeting.
of the board. .... -, .,@
The board passed a resolution con-
firming the sale and issuance of the
bonds sold in connection with county
ditch No. II at the last meeting.
Several minor matters were taken
up and disposed Of by the board, to-
gether with the usual grist Of bills.

Not to Change Spectacle Lake Road

Not to Change Spectacle Lake Road.
Commissioner Newton has just re-
ceived communication from A. w.
Leonard, highway engineer, in regard
to. the Spectacle Lake road. There was
some question in regard to the advisa-
bility of running the road around or
across the swamp which is just west
of Louis Rust's farm. After making
a survey the engineers have found it
would be impossible to build road
across the swamp where some of the
soundings they made were from Is to
IS feet deep. The road will remain.
just where it is and a large lculvert
will be built opposite the outlet ditch
to take care of the surplus water that
runs through it. '.:.

WORK ON ROADS.
Commissioner BabcOck Reviews Prog
ress on Highways, a Part of
NNl;nl, E0lI0.uc

Which, Il OlAOWS.
New construction on 1871 miles, re-
shaping and resurfacing over 2,O22
miles and daily patrol of maintenance
on 1856 miles of the 7;000-milc system
of the trunk highways are among the
Ibig achievements in review made to-
day by Charles M. Babcock, state high
WAY commissioner, of 1921 operations
unde- Minnesots's new highway de-
velopment program.
Confined entirely to work. by state
forces on trunk routes, the commits
sioncr's statement alludes to opera
tions on the local roads, or secondary
system for which the big part Of road
and bridge funds are provided, only in
brief reference to the present move
ment to insure maximum results for
that money.
New construction in 1921 includes
765 miles of grading, compared with
1,499 miles listed as graded when the
state took over the trunk ;outes, and
497 miles Of gravel surfacing, against
1871 in previous years. Also, The
state maintenance forces xeshaped l.
137 miles and re-surfaced 1856 miles.
The paved mileage was nearly dou-
bled, ~109 miles having been added,
largely through county reimburse
ment projects to the total of 112 miles
paved in previous years combined.
The state highway department last
year used $12,556,821. on it's own
operations on the trunk Highway sys-
tenn, besides supervising nearly ST.
100000 more work for counties.
The Babcock plan was made effec-
tive April 25 and therefore was in
actual operation only eight months.
This fact was cited by John H. Mullen,
deputy commissioner and chief high
way engineer, who added that it lends
significance to the first season show
ing. Mr.. Mullen said that 1922 funds
may be reduced but the department
will attempt to make an equal or big
ger showing, taking advantage of re-
duced construction costs, lower freight
rates, and she results to be obtained
by more perfect working organiza-
ton. Commissioner Babcock previous
| ly intimated that only at the end of
another successful year will the public
gain an idea Of benefits to come from
the better roads program.
The 1921 state trunk highway fund
of $12,556,821.79 represented $685.
1850 of motor vehicle tax revenue,
($2, $4,000 Of federal highway aid and
81, 100,708.19 of proceeds from county
reimbursement bond sales.
The remaining $6,764,416.O1 used
under the direction of the state high
way department was part of the fund
of 21,O99,323 provided last year for
local roads-other than trunk high
ways. The large sum for county
town road work was made up, accord
ing to the state auditors abstract, of
$40, 843,682 Of county, $685. $50 of
township and $1,308,794 of small city
and village road and bridge funds and
of $2,084,287 Of state aid. With more
than twice as much money provided
for local road purposes as for trunk
route betterments, Commissioner Bah
cock is moving to insure maximum
benefits from expenditures on the
secondary as we'll as the primary
highways.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER I. ROBINSON

GIVE ARE not especially
concerned about how you
feel when you enter our store,
but we are extremely anxious
10 know how you feel when you
leave"
This Sign greets the eyes OF
customers entering one OF the
big, successful stores In an
eastern city. 1t Is an indication
OF the new attitude many en-
gagged In commercial business are
assuming.
There was a period following
the armlstice when in virtually
all big cities many Of those en-
gagged In selling found business
50 brisk that they did not deem
IL necessary TO keep the patrons
smiling while they separated
them from their money. Too
many Of the customers, I'm fact,
did find enjoyment In spending,
and they may be partially
blamed for the indifference Of
merchants to please. But. with
the drop In business and profits,
Il Is encouraging to find Il re-
b..th VI the 0ld.fashiOned regard
for courteous and square deal
ing Such sentiment as that ex-
pressed In the quotation given
above is evidence that. Willingly
or unwlIllngly, those engaged In
business desire to re-establlsh
old.time friendly relations with
those who trade with them.
With the changed attitude
there Is certain TO come a higher
regard for principle, upon which
In large measure the happiness
Of business people is dependent
There should, therefore, be no
WIDE regrets among those who
have TO reduce prices to such an
extent that profits decreased rea-
Honably below the peak level,
Not alone because OF the greater
happiness which results from
honest principles in business,
but also due 70 the satisfaction
of greater volume In business, as
sured through the law OF dimln.
ishlng returns, should business
people be thankful that they and
their customers are coming TO
meet again on more friendly
terms.
Let everyone remember these
words Of shelton:

OF our action; our actions, the
springs of our happiness or mis-
cry. Too much care, therefore
cannot be taken In forming our
principles"
