Sells Millinery Business.

Mrs. E. C. Mayer closed deal Mon
day morning whereby she disposed of
her millinery business to Misses Bohn
and Schwarz of St. Paul.
Mrs. Mayer has been established in
the millinery business Ilere for the
past ten years and for like number
of years prior to becoming owner of
the business she was employed in the
millinery line at Princeton. Thus for
the past twenty years she and Mr..
Meyer have resided at this place.
They have won many friends who re-
gret to see their departure from our
midst. They left Monday afternoon
for St. Paul and will likely remain
there this winter though they antici-
pate moving to California at some
later date. For the present they will
store their furniture here.
The new firm will be known as
Bohn & Schwartz and the young la
dies come to Princeton we'll recon-
mended as milliners and we trust that
their residence here will prove enjoy
able and profitable.
The Union welcomes the new firm
and extends to Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer
its best wishes wherever they may see
fit to locate.

Minneapolis, La Crosse and Madison,
Wis, returning through Appleton,
Wausau and Eau Claire, using the
same time en- route home.
Mr.. Grow stated that the roads
were very good on both routes but
thought the route home was somewhat
better than the one south through
Madison. He found crops looking
most bountiful. Wisconsin has ex-
perienced a good deal of rain fall this
season and though this week it has
been hot and dry down there as up
this way, yet things were in most
promising condition for the Wisconsin
farmers. The dairy business is fast
coming to, the front in that state like
in Minnesota and the farms show pros
pertiy on every hand.

Sent to Boys' School.

County Attorney Doane was called
to Wahkon this week to investigate
a report that certain bunch of young
sters at that place had overstepped
the law by entering a residence at
that place and appropriating minor
articles for their own use. The leader
of the miscreants was Earl Johnson,
boy about IA years Of age, who was
brought before Justice VanRhee at
Milaca and turned over to the county
attorney who took the lad to St. Cloud
Tuesday for final hearing. He plead
guilty before Judge Roeser and was
sentenced to the boys reform school
at Red Wing.
The other members of the house.
breakers party were let go on a pro-
baton order. Breaking into house
in the day time is grand larceny in the
second degree while first degree COW
ers an act of similar nature done at

VISITED SANCTUM
Editor Liesch and Family of New Ulm
Auto Through Princeton for
the First Time.

Phil Liesch, that big and handsome
editor of the Brown County Journal,
published at New Ulm, stepped out of
his auto Monday noon to call on the
Union force a few minutes while en-
route with Mrs. Liesch, two daughters
and son from several days sojourn
at Itaska Park with other publishers
and their wives of the state who were
in attendance at the summer outing of
the Northern Editorial association.
Bro. Liesch stated that it was his
first visit and trip through this part
of Minnesota and he and his family
were enjoying it immensely even
though Old Sol was beating down in
torrid manner. He was much i'm
pressed with this section Of the state
and was convinced that prosperity
prevailed The fine farms and farm
buildings showed every indication of
advancement and the dairy interest
appeared to him as the "watch dog"
Of success. He had enjoyed the out
ing at the head of the Mississippi and
in the tall pines. Camp style was
the general order at the park and he
found out that he and his family could
get along pretty we'll with their morn
ing bath by using two quarts of lake
water handed out regularly to the
guests, while at home they thought
they needed whole waterworks sys-
tenn to refresh themselves.
They were on their way home to join
in the big four day festival, home
coming and celebration of the Goth
anniversary of the great Indian rhas-
sacre. Real Indians will be on hand
to take part in the parade and stage
Indian war dances. The Shriners from
Minneapolis will also attend and take
part in the program.

Terrible Wreck on 500.

Shortly after 2 o'clock Saturday,
the 500 line Canadian flyer headed
north ran into an oil truck at a rail
road crossing at the edge of AMMAN
dale, killing the driver and farmer
riding with him. The truck was
hurtled against a switch with such
force that it threw the switch open
after the engine and first baggage
car passed over, causing the balance
of the train to run in on the side
track where freight train was stand
ing waiting orders for the passenger
train to pass. The train was speed
ing along at rapid gait and the pas
senger cars thrown in on the siding
collided headon with the freight en-
gine, demolishing the engine and
several of the passenger cars, and kill
ing ten people, seriously injuring sew
eral others while many more were
more or less hurt.
It was one of the worst wrecks the
500 line has experienced and those
who witnessed the tragic affair say it
is the worst they ever saw. The peo-
pie of Annandale and community
rushed to the aid of the unfortunates
and did everything possible to relieve
the suffering passengers and train
men. DR.. Cooney autoed over Sunday
to view the scene of the disaster and
stated that it was a fright to behold.
Railroad wrecks of this nature have
been quite frequent this year, but on
the whole the railroads handle their
trains with greater care and less loss
of life than the reckless auto drivers
of this day and age.

Special Talent Coming.

That the republican national com
mittee intends to match the talent to
be supplied to the democratic national
committee in behalf of Anna Dickie
Oleson is indicated by report that
Albert J. Beveridge, progressive re-
publican candidate for United States
senator from Indiana and Clifford
Pinchot, progressive republican candi-
date for governor of Pennsylvania,
may be among the celebrities who will
appear in Minnesota in the interests
of Frank B. Kellogg, progressive re-
publican candidate for United States
senator.
Beveridge is scheduled to address
the State Bar association in Minneap-

Mr.. and Mrs. Axel Olson of St.
Paul have decided to make this COM
munity their home, and moved their
household effects by truck yesterday
from the state capitol city, where they
have resided for several years, to the
Swing farm, five miles east of Prince
ton. Their son Moritz, assisted by
his brother Melford, has charge Of the

SHORTAGE DISCOVERED
County Treasurer Pleads Guilty of De
falcation; Sentenced to Still
water 1 to 10 Years.

The country districts, as we'll as the
citizens of Hennepin county and Min
neapolis, were shocked Tuesday to
learn through daily press reports that
Henry c. Hanke, the popular treasurer
for Hennepin county, had been found
guilty of defalcation in that office to
the amount of $258,000, indictment
having been made on five accounts.
The shortage was discovered by the
state examining department.
The money had been taken to pro-
tect big investments Hanke had made
in realty. He assigned all his proper
ty to the county to help make up the
shortage and was bonded to the ex-
tent of $250,OO0. Funds were juggled
to keep books 'looking" all right.
In passing judgment, Judge Buffing-
ton said:
"The court has known you, I think,
rs years. The situation presented
here has been really as shocking and
surprise to this court as to your
personal friends and the people of this
county.
"The office you have held has been
one characterized by confidence and
trust. I think all the people of this
county have implicitly trusted you and
I know Of no man in this county who
has been held in higher esteem than
yourself.
'The court knows as we'll as your
friends that you are an exceedingly
intelligent man and by reason thereof
you certainly must have known what
would follow by reason Of your con-
duct, which is reprehensive in any way
you look at it. The court cannot con-
ceive of your doing an act Of this kind.
The court cannot stand on personal
friendship, the laws have been violat-
ed, you have pleaded guilty to the
charge of grand larceny in the first
degree and there is nothing left for
this court to do but to impose SEN
tence.
"The court understands the laws do
not provide for flat sentence, but the
court understands the penalty to be
from one to 10 years in states prison.
Therefore it is ordered end adjudged
that you, Henry c. Hanke, as punish
ment for grand larceny in the first
degree, of which you have been con-
victed in this court by your plea Of
guilty, be confined to hard labor in the
states prison until you are released by
proper authority, and hereby remand
you to the custody of the sheriff"

j. S. Jones, director Of the state
organization work for the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation was also in
attendance at the picnic with Mr..
Reed.
At the conclusion Of the speaking a
few contests were conducted. There
were approximately dozen entries in
the ladies ball throwing contest. Some
of the girls made wild throws that
greatly amused the spectators. Others
displayed real skill in handling the
ball and made rather remarkable
showing. Helen Grapentine won the
prize while Helen Rosen captured sec
ond place.
The baseball game between Dalbo
and Princeton gave the spectators an
entertaining feature on the afternoons s
program. Some of the "fans" be-
came unusually interested. An out
line of the game is given in another
story on the first page of the Union.
The game of barnyard golf held the
attention of the crowd throughout.
Though not spectacular the playing
for the most part was consistant.
Chilstrom and Rust lost to Busbau
and Reynolds, Cordeau and Olson
eliminated Payette and Pacher, Ness
and Sausser fell before the onslaughts
of Olson and Anderson, to whom Van
devanter and Arnold lost. To make
long story short, the final contest
was won by Anderson and Olson over
Corteau and Osborn. A prize of $500
was given the winners who are now
proclaimed the champion barnyard
golfers Of Princeton and vicinity.
The American legion boys had re-
freshment booth at the grounds and
realized substantial revenue there
from.
The community picnic this year was
marked success and it was last year
also. It will undoubtedly become an
annual event in this vicinity. The
Princeton Commercial club, who were
the hosts at the event this year, are
to be congratulated.

SCORE ENDS SIX TO SIX
Game Called in Tenth Inning While
Discussion on Certain Decis-
ions Were Underway.

the climax on the big community pic
mic Sunday by staging classy exhibi-
ton Of base ball for the benefit Of the
large crowd of picnickers. Dalbo has
a first class battery and has built up
good team around it. They have been
playing winning ball all season and
had plenty of confidence that they
could beat up the bunch Of locals which
Bob Berg drummed up at the eleventh
hour to do battle for Princeton.
The game started out like real
contest, both sides being blanked in
the opener. Dalbo got ambitious and
took the lead in the second round,
scoring two runs on combination of
two hits, sacrifice and two infeld err
rors. Bob's gang retaliated in the
last Of the third, when they tied the
score. Plumondore and Stark worked
their way around the bases in this
frame. From this point both sides
played alright ball up to the last half
Of the fifth. Then Princeton staged
a little batting rally that netted them
four runs and it looked like the ball
game was sewed up tight. Dalbo re-
fused to give up and fought gamely
back, scoring two runs in the sixth,
making the count 6 to 4. In the
lucky seventh they slipped in another
one and it was anybody's ball game
from then on. The game drifted into
the ninth with the score 6 to in favor
Of the locals, but three singles drove
in another counter for them and the
score was tie, all. Princeton failed
to break the tie in their half of the
ninth and the game went on into the
tenth frame.
The game was late getting started
and it was now getting close to six
o'clock, when the game would have to
be called in compliance with the state
law. The visitors failed to do any
thing in their half of the tenth and it
was up to the locals to do something.
Neil Grow was first up and singled.
Galley followed up with a mile high
fly to center field, good for a double,
and putting Grow on third. About
this time dispute arose as to whose
watch would be the official one to go
by and while some of the players and
crowd were arguing the point, Grow
took it into his head to steal home,
but was caught just few feet from
the rubber. This play brought on
some more talk, with the result that
the umpire called the game at 6 o'clock
and the official score showed Dalbo 6,
Princeton 6.
We would like to see these two
teams sign up for game at the fair.
They are about evenly matched and a
second contest between them would
be we'll worth going several miles to
see.
Smith and Murph Angstman did the
battery work for the locals and turned
in good record. They worked hard
to win and little tighter support be-
hind them would have put the game
away safe and sound for the home
town.
The umpires were Blaine Barker
Of Cambridge and r. A. Wood of
Princeton.

operative creameries have experienced
so far this year a splendid increase in
the amount of butter made and sold,
practically all of the product going to
eastern markets at a top-notch figure.
The Milaca Farmers Cooperative
creamery is one of the largest butter
making concerns in the country, rank
ing, we believe, around second place.
For the first six months of the year
the receipts Of butterfat amounted to,
429,136 pounds, and butter made
therefrom amounted to 525,84f
pounds The association paid out to-
its patrons the sum of $151, ,374.O8:
for butter fat.
A healthy gain over last year is rea
corded in the following figures: Jam
uary, 1920 pounds; February, 10, ,437;'
March, 8,306; April, 1888; May, 1885
and June. 9,1O1. This is the gain in
butter made for the respective months
OVeI 1dSC year. ~
Edward Seymour is manager and
takes much pride in the showing made
by the Milaca creamery.
In the erection of the new creamery
now underway, the Princeton Coop
erative creamery will also rank up
with the best in the state. At a cost
in the neighborhood Of $4,000 the
local institution will have most,
modern and commodious factory which
will enable them to take care of the:
steadily increasing business in a much
more satisfactory manner.
The growth of the Princeton cream
cry is best stated in figures covering
the first seven months of the past two
years. From January 1, 1920, to Aug
ust l. 1920, there were manufactured
at the local plant 193,2s1 pounds Of
butter. For the same seven months
in 1921 total of 293,73o pounds of
butter was made, showing gain for
that year of 100,449 pounds or better,
than so per cent gain. From January
to August 1, this year, the amount;
of butter manufactured totaled 361,-
225, a gain of 81 ,495 pounds over last
year and 1894 over 1920, nearly
100 per cent increase. These figures,
alone are sufficient evidence to con-
vince any farmer or others interested
in farming that the dairy cow is the
champion revenue producer on the
farm. Grain growing is a one season
product, like potatoes and various
other marketing products, but the
cow "delivers the goods" the year
'round-the cream check being regu-
lar monthly item.
The local creamery is strictly a.
farmers institution and it is up to all
! farmers Of this community to support
it by giving the creamery their un-
stinted patronage. We say, patronize
the home institution and by so doing
help build up the business which in
return helps in developing yours.
Arrangements are under way to-
hold dairy show at the fair grounds;
October 7 to IA, and much benefit will
be derived from this exhibition. Keep
the good work progressing.
A. M. Jones is the manager Of the
local creamery and is deserving of
much credit for his efforts in building.
up the business.
