GOOD SERVICE AVAILABLE.

The Christmas edition which the
Union published in 1921 was so we'll
received that it was deemed advisable
to issue similar publication this year.
With the cooperation of group Of
as public-spirited business men as can
be found in any village in the state
Of Minnesota, this holiday edition has
been prepared during the past week.
Strangers visiting our village have
expressed surprised at the amount of
business that is transacted here.
There is reason for Princeton draw
ing from a territory that she does.
She is blessed with group of sub
stantial, progressive business men who
take great pride in maintaining first
class establishments. Although
Princeton is only so miles from Min
neapolis and the highway leading to
that city is in good condition the
greater part of the time, she keeps
practically all of her trade at home.
She does this because flrSt-claSS SER
vice in nearly every line is available
here and because the residents in this
vicinity appreciate that fact. ~
The advertisements which appear in
this issue indicate that our merchants
are fully prepared to take care Of their
customers during the coming Christ
mas season. An inspection Of the
stores and the various shops in which
the holiday goods are now on display
will confirm this supposition. Seeing
is believing. The public is urged to do
it's purchasing as soon as possible. Do
not wait until the most attractive
articles are gone. There remain only
eight days, in which to select" your
Christmas gifts. " i.

principle which is advocated by
many clear thinkers as a means of
permanently lettering the condition
of the farmers. It is cooperative
organization through which the farm
ers can follow their produce to the
terminal market. The association has
unquestionably made q remarkable
growth during the II months it has
been open for business. Today it
handles almost Is per cent of all the
cars of livestock shipped to the South
st. Paul market.
Right Lere, however, the informa-
ton of many of US ends. The officials
state the association has saved it's
patrons 100000 this year. From the
information furnished the Union it is
not clear just how this saving has
been effected. 1t is claimed the profits
Of the association will be divided
among it's patrons on January 1, 1923.
1T is also claimed that just as good
service is rendered the patrons of the
Central as that furnished by any
other firm in the market and with
smaller commission charges. Those
who are patronizing the Central; are
actually shipping the livestock and re-
ceiving the money, are in a position
to know how much they should be in
1uenced by these statements.
The state Farm Bureau federation
and county association endorse the
Central, the majority of our local
shipping associations do not appear
to be favorable to it. There must be
a misunderstanding somewhere. It
would seem to be a subject that it
would pay to investigate.

Our representatives down in Wash
ington may think they are called upon
to solve perplexing problems, but their
difficulties fade into insignificance
when compared to that confronting
some Of the Turkish dignataries. A
man who finds himself with one hun
dred and fifty harem beauties on his
hands, all of whom are seeking hus-
bands. would seem to be situation
that would require all the diplomacy,
foresight and courage that he could
muster. The fleeing sultan seems to
have been but little concerned in re-
gard to the fate of his beauties.

Much is being said in certain quar-
tiers about the state or federal govern
ment providing means for the farmers
to obtain more money, get larger
loans. Those who have more infor-
nation and insight into the present
conditions state that what the farmers
need is not larger loans. 1t is not
kindness to a man to get him up to his
ears in debt. Those who are hard
pressed should be given time to
straighten out their affairs and in the
meantime conditions should be adj
>justed so that the farmers will not
have to borrow so extensively. The
shrewd man knows when it is advisa-
BILE to borrow capital to invest in his
business but unlimited credit would
be the ruination of most individuals.

A TRUE SPORTSMAN.

On January w. c. Doane will shift
all the burdens of the office of county
attorney to the shoulders of A. D.
Smith. Mr.. Doane most cheerfully re-
linquishes the responsibilities and hon.
or attached to his official position. He
feels that he has contributed his share
in assisting in conducting our county
government and it is now time for
some other man to take the place.
It is safe to state that Mile Laos
county never has had or never will
have a county attorney who plays the
game cleaner than does Billy Doane.
In his official and business transac-
tons he puts into practice those prin-
ciples of good craftsmanship that he
has had drilled into him as an athlete.
He will not jump on man who is
down, does not hit below the belt, and
at the drop of hat can put up good,
clean, lively scrap.
Without detracting in any way from
A. D. Smith, our recently elected
county attorney, it must be admitted
there are hundreds of people in this
county who greatly regret to see Mr..
Doane relinquish his office. But an
attorney of Mr.. Doane's age and abili-
ty cannot afford to devote large por-
ton of his energies for too long a
time to conducting a county office. He
retires with the best wishes Of prac-
tically all the residents of this county,
and if they will but glance back over
his record they will recognize the fact
that he has earned vacation.
On October S, 1910, w. C. Doane
was appointed by the county board to
fill out the unexpired term of Adam
Whitney who was then serving as
county auditor. At the time of his
appointment he had the republican
nomination for the office. In Novem>
Der he was elected. In 1912 and again
in 1914 he was reelected without op-
position. The law had been changed
to extend the term of the county audi
tor to four years and Mr.. Doane would
have held office until January, 1919,
but on May %, 1918, he resigned to de-
vote all his energies to the duties of
secretary Of the Mile Laos county
draft board. In November, 1918, he
was elected to the office of county at
torney which he has for four years
filled so satisfactorily. 80 49,. =

NOT A PERSONAL ISSUE.

The newspapers, magazines and all
public speakers are announcing that
these are times to test mans mettle.
Probably all of us will agree to that
fact. -...
The cynics may sheer at the verses
which appear on The fower-bedecked
cards and pieces Of burnt leather often
found decorating the walls of our
humber homes, but the sentiment ex-
pressed in those verses after all is ad-
mirable. It is true that "the man worth
while is the one who will smile when
everything goes dead wrong" and the
"test of the heart is trouble"
Now while the present conditions
are trying, the political issues seem to
be Of vital Importance. All of US feel
that our prosperity in a measure will
depend upon the party in power. AS
matter of fact this country was des-
tined to 60 through a certain period of
economic depression during the days
of reconstruction following the world
war. No political party or any lead
ers could have saved us from that.
But We are beginning to feel that the
days of prosperity are now due to re-
turn and we are looking for the men
who can most successfully guide our
ship of state. Granting that we are
looking toward the same goal and
that the interests of all the people in
this community, those living in the
villages and on the farms are the
same, we find the voters are not unit
ed on one group of leaders. There
are men and women in this county,
hundreds of them, who believe it
would be to the best interests of every
resident in this county to have J. A. 0.
Preus in the governors chair rather
than Magnus Johnson. There was
even a larger number who believed
that Johnson was the man for the Of
flee. The day will probably never
come when the people in this locality
or in any other municipality in the
world will be united on political issues.
That is a situation to be desired; a
party which has close competition is
going to keep reasonably clean. But
the point to be remembered is that
there are honest, intelligent men in
all parties. Let us not add to our
present difficulties by creating all the
bitterness that arises from making
our political differences personal is
sue. Hate will eat out the heart OF
any individual or community and life
is all too short to indulge in it. AS
men and women with human likes and
dislikes we naturally choose oul
friends without any" regard to their
political affiliations. Let US give all
honor and respect to the men who
prompted by honest convictions put
up clean, hard fight, irrespective OF
where they stand, be it with or against

CHRISTMAS LETTERS

SOMETIMES a letter means
- more than all the cards and
gifts In the world. Why not send
a Christmas message by letter
this year? A bright holiday seal
stuck at the top will introduce
your remarks in q jolly fashion,
and then you may continue with
whatever you think friendly and
suitable. This is a cheap method
In the actual expenditure of
money, but a rich outlay of
thought for those you love.
Have you not discovered that
something somebody does 3ust
for you is more precious than a
present bought in a hurry?
Christmas letters bring great
Joy. Try some and see!

Of Mr.. and Mrs. Matthias Clayton of 46

Friday afternoon that young Gordon
would recover the sight of his right

offered until Friday afternoon and the
parents received the news with great
JOY.
Surgeons stated that the injury was
most peculiar one. and that recovery
of the sight is remarkable. As the
wire passed through the eye it pune
tured the eyeball through the pupil.
Had it passed through the cyebalI at
any other point, recovery of sight

has received 5000 tons of anthracite.
