Piofessoi Mai id Santord's address in the Congiegational church on evening was listened to bj a laige audience. Her subject was W'oild Peace" and she handled it in a mannei which would have done ciedit to the country's gieat advocate of peacefulness, William rennings Bijan. In fact we question whether he could have elucidated the subject so well. Miss Sanfoid is an elocutionist of much abilitv hei command of the English language was lullv demonstrated in the mteiesting, commonsense talk which she upon this occasion.

Miss Sanfoid is 7b jears of age, but notwithstanding this e'verv woid which she utteied was heard distinctly bv even one in the large audience. She is certainly a lemarkable woman. Princeton high school normal training class secured the services of Miss Sanf ord to assist in the national peace day program, and it could have obtained no speaker better versed on the subject upon which she spoke. Even number on the program possessed a high degree of appropriateness and the musical selections were excellent. Having an hour's time at her disposal before starting for Elk River on Monday morning, Miss Santord gave an interesting talk to the high school and eighth grade pupils in the assembly hall.

She took for her subject, "Make Your Own Recommendation," and interspersed the address with two essays. The pupils were much impressed with her talk and some of them will doubtless endeavor to put her advice into practice. Archibald Guthrie Dead. Aichibald Guthrie. the wellknown St.

Paul railroad contractor, died in Chicago last Saturday, following an operation for gall stones several days before. Mr Guthrie was a native of Ontario, Canada, and was over 70 years old at the time of his death. He was a self-made man and his fortune is estimated at several million dollars. At one time he was a conductor on the Great Northern railway and afterwards became a division superintendent of the road. Then he engaged in railroad contract work with the Foley Brothers under the firm name of Foley Bios.

Guthrie. He was an active member of the Foley-Bean Lumber which operated the sawmill at Milaca and carried on lumbering operations on the Rum for several years. He was an intimate and trusted friend of J. J. Hill, and his success in buiness affairs was largely due to Mr.

Hill's friendship for him. Personally Mr. Guthrie was an affable gentleman and highly esteemed by his large circle of acquaintances. County Commissieners. Following is a synopsis of the proceedings of the county commissioners, who met on Tuesday morning and adjourned in the evening to June 24: The legality of the setting off from the town of Princeton of the four unorganized townships in the north end of the county was fully discussed, but no official action by the board was taken in the matter.

A petition presented by Chas. E. Johnson and others praying for a new school district to comprise 21 sections in the town of Page was granted, and final orders were diawn creating such new district, which will be known as No. 42. Commissioner O.

H. Uglem was authorized to close a contract for the purchase of a strip of land adjoining Milo town cerneteiy. to be used as a burial ground for county dependents at the poor farm. Six miles of road in the town of Milo was designated as a state highway, subject to the approval of the Minnesota highway commission. The petition of Grant vYeatherly and otheis prajing for a new school district, to comprise 14 sections in the town of Page, was granted.

Said district will be known as No. 43. R. S. Chapman was authorized to puichase the steel and cement necessaiv to constiuct the Johnson bridge in the town of Greenbush.

It was oideied that the county attoinev be instiucted to bring suit on the engineer's bond of S. L. in the matter of ditch No. 10. The boaid appropriated the sum of $50 to be used the citizens" committee in the observance of Memorial day.

R. S. Chapman was authorized to purchase sufficient graphite paint to cov.er the McDougal and Milo bridges. The county auditor was instructed to advertise for bids foi supplying a 40-ton cai of Miller Cieek coal. Fay Real Estate Taxes Before June 1.

Real estate taxes for the year 1912 must be paid before June 1, otherwise a 10 per cent will accrue. Where the taxes charged against any tiact or lot exceed one dollar, one-halt thereof may be paid piior to June 1, whereupon no shall attach to the one-half so paid and thereupon the lemaining one-half may be paid at any time piior to Nov. 1 following, whereupon no penalty shall attach to such remaining one-half. See to it that at least one-half your real estate taxes is paid on or before Saturday, May 31, if you wish to avoid paying the 10 per cent penalty. The auditor and treasurer have no discretion in the matter.

If the treasurer omits to charge the penalty he is personally liable for the same. Gedney Gets Seven Years. J. S. Gedney on Monday pleaded guilty at Wabasha, this state, to an indictment charging arson in the third degree.

He employed George Cramer of Minneapolis to burn the Gedney pickling factory at Plainview. The court sentenced him to seven years in the penitentiary at Stillwater. Cramer, who confessed that he had agreed to burn the building for 15 per cent of the insurance carried upon it, and who was also indicted for arson in the third degree, was sentenced to an indeterminate period in the state reformatory at St. Cloud. This should prove a lesson to others who seek to rob insurance companies by burning their property.

Milo White Dead. Milo White, a representative in congress two terms from the first Minnesota district, died at his home in Chatfield last Sunday night. He was elected to the Minnesota state senate in 1871 and held the office five years. His two terms in congress were served soon after, and when defeated for a third term he retired from political life and gave all of his time to his business affairs. He was born in Franklin county, in 1830 and was a descendant of the Whites of Plymouth colony fame.

He came to Minnesota in 1855. At the time of his death he.was the oldest mer chant in southern Minnesota. HONOR THE HEROES Friday, May 30, is riemorial Day and Everyone Should Make an Ef- fort to Duly Observe It. Exercises Will Be Held in the New Ar- mory andO. S.

22 One week from tomorrow is Memorial daythe day upon which the American nation will pay tribute to the memory of its brave soldiers who have gone into camp on the other shore and honor the fast disappearing remnant of -the great army of heroes who remain with us.

THE HOMEBOIS WIN Game Between Princeton and flilaca High School Teams Proved to i be a Lively Scrimmage. flora Boys Defeated by the Princeton First Nine in an Interesting Game Sunday Afternoon. The Princeton high school baseball team regained their stride again last Saturday and evened up their grudge against the boys from-Milaca by defeating them 5 to 8. A cold, raw wind blew throughout the afteinoon and made real fast baseball almost impossible, but, regardless of inclement weather conditions, the old rivals went at it hammer and tongs, and the weather man and his misfit baseball weather were soon lost sight of in the closeness and sciappiness of the game.

Milaca got real "sassy" in the very first inning after two men were out. succeeded in scoring two runs before the third out could be garnered in by the local boys. Milaca held the lead for several innings, but, nothing daunted, the locals kept hammering away at Swanson's collection of slants and twists until they finally tied the score and then took the lead. And while taking the lead they helped themselves so generously that the visitors were unable to overcome it, and when the game finally ended the locals were on the right side of the ledger, 5 to 8. NOTES.

Fullwiler and Umbehocker did the battery work for Princeton, while Swanson and McGilvra did the heavy flinging and receiving for the visitois. Both pitchers worked in good shape, but Fullwiler had the best of it on control, as Swanson had difficulty in locating the plate at times. The locals did some timely hitting when hits meant 111ns, Petterson carrjing off the batting honors of the day when he poled out a to deep center. Wicktor pulled off a pretty play when he pegged home from left field and nailed a piospective Milaca score on a close decision at the plate. Moe and Doane did the umpiring and got awav with it in good shape, more or less.

Next Saturday the high school team goes to Cambridge for a return game with the blue and White. Princeton Versus Mora. The Princeton first team opened theii season at the local fair grounds last Sunday with the Moia team and succeeded in handing them the short end of a 10 to 5 score. Princeton got the jump on the visitois right in the first round and pulled off one of the best exhibitions of "hitting where they haint" ever seen at local ball lot. Mora was retired scoreless in the opening inning and it was up to the locals.

Bill Roos started the ball arolling by hitting safe for one base, and Smith followed up with a smash down the third base foul line just far enough in to be safe. Doane's sacrifice advanced both runners one notch and Art Roos scored them both with another safe clout. Skahen drove one to safe territory in center and Roos came home. Moe got hit with a pitched ball and Trunk drove one through the short stop, Skahen scoring on the play. Umbehocker hit a fast grounder and was thrown out at first, but Moe waltzed home during the mix-up.

Porter hit to the infield and Trunk scored and, with two out, it was up to Bill Roos to start the parade all over again. Realizing that six scores were usually enough to win a ball game, Bill took pity on the visitors and retired the hit-hungry Princetonians. Mora was blanked in the next three innings, but Princeton kept up their heavy hitting and, aided by some bad wabbles by the Mora infield, succeeded in scoring another run in the second round, two more in the fourth, and the last one in the fifth. Mora failed to score until the fifth, when they finally got busy and, aided by a few misplays on the part of the locals, garnered in two runs. They scored one more in the sixth and picked off two more in the eighth, but never at any time did they get near enough to the locals pile of scores to ever look dangerous.

Princeton scored enough in the first inning to win the game and could have stopped right there and still had enough to win, but they had to make the other four just to show 'em the the crowd that it wasn't entirely a matter of luck when they blew up the game in the first round. NOTES. Porter and Skahen did the battery work for Princeton and performed like big leaguers. Joe's flinging arm was in fairly good shape and he had little difficulty in holding the Mora batters safe at all times. The terrific batting of his teammates allowed him to take it easy but, when forced in the pinches, he let out a little just to show what he could do when forced.

The infield and outfield played fairly good ball at times but showed lack of polish in several places. Practice and experience will overcome these defects, however, and at first flush it looks as if the locals have the "makings" of a fast ball team in them. A large crowd witnessed the opening game and, although the result of the game was never very seriously in doubt after the first inning, still the play was interesting and made good sport for the spectators. Frank Grasnich handled the indicator, and his decisions were so fair and impartial that not a kick was reigstered from either side, and the game was entirely free from rag chewing and muckerism. Farmers' Clubs.

the In an aiticle on farmers' clubs Duluth Herald aptly lemarks: 'Rural organizations, especially when they take on co-operative featuies as they must if they persist, are capable of great good for the rural communities and for the cities as well. 'They afford an opportunity for note-comparing on many subjects. They afford an opportunity for co-operation in seed-buying, pioducing and marketing. "By no means to be despised is the fact that they also offei an opportunity for social gatheiings in which the farmers' wives and daughters may participate. 'They woik for the promotion of bettei agricultural and marketing methods, both of which are all-t the good not only for the producer but for the consumer.1' The Difference in Class.

Some tourists were traveling in Switzerland, and they went to buytickets for the coach ride up the mountain The American, of course, bought a fiist-class ticket, but he noticed that all the rest got second and third class and they all got in the wagon with him. He asked the driver, "What advantage is there in paying for a first-class ticket when holders of second and third-class tickets have precisely the same accommodations?" The driver said: "You just wait a while and you will see." So by and by they came to a steep hill and the driver called out: "First-class passengers will keep their seats: second-class passengers will get out and walk third-class passengers will get out and pushf" Chicago Record Herald.

Ten Per Cent Goes to Roads. Chapter 248 laws of 1913 provides that the 10 per cent of liquor licenses which has heretofore been required to be paid by villages into the county treasury shall hereafter be expended by the village council on roads outside of but leading into the villages. The law went into effect April 11, and since that date the county is not entitled to any part of the revenue derived from liquor licenses in villages. GOOD ROADS DAY Will Be Observed in a Fitting Man- ner by the Public-Spirited Citizens of Princeton. One-Fourth of a Mile of Road Will Be Turnpiked and Rock-Surfaced on June Seventeenth.

Three weeks from next Tuesday, June 17, is Good Roads day and it will be fittingly observed in this village by turnpiking and rock-surfacing a stretch of one-quarter of a mile of the road leading from the eastern approach of the East Branch bridge to the village limits at the foot of the Coates hill, to connect with the three-quarters mile stretch of rock-surfaced road constructed two years ago. This is the neck of the most important highway leading into Princeton and in moist weather it is generally in a deplorable condition. There is no necessity to waste words in urging the necessity for this improvement. The village council, at the request of the publisher of the Union and several other citizens, met last evening and decided to secure 30 carloads of crushed granite fiom St. Cloud, turnpike the piece of road in question and make a lasting improvement by rock-surfacing it to the depth of sis to eight inches 18 feet wide.

The rock for tne road will be ordered at once and unloaded at the railroad yards. On Good Roads day it is proposed to have a hauling beeevery owner of a team in the village will be expected to give the use of his team for that day, and every ablebodied man who can wield a shovel is expected to be on hand or furnish a substitute. Let there be no holding back. Let every man do his duty. Make the first Good Roads day a memorable one in the history of Princeton.

Let all business except the work of road-building be suspended on June 17. Will not the town of Princeton fall in line and complete the work of rock-surfacing the same road from the farm to the Holthus corner? The rock can be secured by paying the freight on the same. Let Princeton town and village set an example for every town and village in the county and state to imitate. R. C.
